Who: Guy and Christine
What: They run into one another
When: Sunday, April 22, morning
Where: Guy's room

Guy had been woken early that morning by another bird, this one perched on the lower bunk squawking things into his ear. That one had been dealt with, as well, but he'd been unable to go back to sleep. And so, he'd propped the door to the hall open so he could all the more easily shoo any further pests out and had gone into the bathroom, rubbing the scruff on his face with a grimace. He needed a shave badly; being messy had never really appealed to Guy at all. Softly singing the same tune he'd sung to Maryanne, he began to lather his cheeks.

Christine chuckled a little. "Thank you, but I think that may be an understatement, thus far I have managed to avoid an oddly large wasp's sting, and chased out a number of speaking birds that were trying to convince me that they were someone else." As if she were dull witted. Perhaps if they had been somewhere else other than her room, and she had not followed the sound with her eyes first.

She might have launched her shoe at one or two, as well.

"I've run into those both as well," Guy agreed with a nod. "And that's only the beginning, perhaps unfortunately." Traveling underwater or having strange dreams or any other number of things that had happened since his arrival.

"You must let me know if you require assistance." That seemed to be the role he had fallen into: keeping an eye on Marian, giving swordplay lessons...

	"Only the beginning?" She had to question, was there more in store for them?Were the birds and wasps not odd enough? She did not hide her surprise in her tone. "I do wield a shoe quite viciously." Christine offered with a teasing smile. "But I will be sure to inquire." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not everything is so bad," he answered, trying to be reassuring. He did not want to have a hysterical woman on his hands. "And please do. I'm sure your skills with a shoe are fearsome, indeed, but I am here if they do not quite suffice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Christine was hardly the sort to go to pieces, though he didn't know that. "I did meet a young woman that was going to teach me how to fight, but everything went south after that. The birds and wasps showed up." She was hardly the damsel in distress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gisborne_guy 2012-04-24 01:16 am UTC (link)
	He hadn't meant to infer that she was entirely a damsel in distress. He was merely trying to be polite and extend her some courtesy. "Until you can procure lessons in self defense, please allow me to make myself useful." He hated being anything less than. Hated feeling like he was doing nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_christine_daae 2012-04-24 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"I could hardly deny such a polite request, Monsieur." Christine blushed faintly. Squaring her shoulders she decided being a little forward would not hurt anyone. "Would you care to escort me to retrieve something to drink? In case I need to be defended?" She hoped she would not have the need. As she would not wish to see this good man stung, or tormented.

	"It would be my honor, ma'amselle," he returned, inclining his head in return. The shirt he'd slipped on was finally buttoned up, though left un-tucked, and he offered her his arm. "My lady." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Placing her hand at the crook of his elbow she allowed him to lead her out the door. "I do hope you don't mind if I make inquiries, as we stroll along. I'm afraid I have only made a few acquaintances. A man from another planet, a young woman from very far into the future, a fellow from one hundred and thirty hears into the future, or my future, and another young woman, I don't believe I caught her name."

	"I've come to expect questions," Guy answered, almost resigned to the fact by now. He was a private man by nature, but it seemed that he could not indulge himself here. "What do you wish to know, m'lady?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I will keep them... careful. I promise." She wasn't sure what the proper word was. As she meant that she would not delve into private matters if he did not wish it. At least for the time being. If he wished to know her better, them perhaps they could share more.

"Where, and when, which seems rather odd to ask, are you from? I am afraid I have never heard of Gisborne." She said apologetically.

	It wasn't surprising. "It was a small bit of land in England," Guy answered. "She doesn't exist any longer." Had been absorbed into Locksley. "That's where I'm from. England, 1192, in the year of our Lord. And you, my lady?" Gaze drifted over to her. "When are you from?" He knew the where. France. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I am from 1870. Logan had said there were a few people from the twelfth century." Christine chuckled softly. "I must say I wasn't quite sure he was serious until now." Though there was Morgana, and she was from Camelot.

"I am sorry about Gisborne though. What county had it been located in?" She did know a little bit of England, from when her father had been asked to play in London.

This Logan seemed to be friends with many of the women on-board, but Guy would not comment on it. "There are several people here from my time," he answered. Marian, Hood...he still could not bring himself to call the man by his Christian name.

"It was in Nottinghamshire," he answered softly. "I had hoped, before I found myself here, to re-establish it." It seemed that another dream was gone.

	"Oh! I've never been there, but I have heard of it." Christine confessed. Not Gisborne, but Nottingham. of course. What child had not heard the stories of Robin Hood? "Perhaps you still can, when you return. Not that I hope that you do." She blushed faintly at her bold confession, she hardly knew him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gisborne_guy 2012-04-24 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"You have?" Guy was a bit surprised, truth be told. Nottingham was not exactly a well-known outpost of the English countryside. A slight smile spread at her confession. "You don't?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_christine_daae 2012-04-25 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Indeed. Father wanted to travel through the infamous Sherwood forest. But unfortunately I came down with a fever." Christine confessed. "No, I don't find a man that sings, and has a very pleasant voice, every day." Even Piangi was not as pleasant, in her opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gisborne_guy 2012-04-25 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"What makes it so infamous?" Guy questioned, frowning slightly. Could it have been that outlaws still roamed? He discounted that idea quickly, though. If that were the case, her father would not have wanted to travel through it with his young daughter. Still, his head ducked, cheeks flushing with pleasure. "I'm glad you think so, my lady."

	_christine_daae 2012-04-25 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, supposedly that is where the outlaw Robin Hood hid." Christine confessed. "Father enjoyed telling all sorts of stories, to me and Raoul when I was a child." She explained. Perhaps Robin Hood happened after Guy's time. She was tickled when he flushed. Pleased that she had caused it. "Does anyone else favor it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gisborne_guy 2012-04-25 02:22 am UTC (link)
	He almost stiffened at the name. "Hood." Of course. Of course Hood had lived on through the centuries while he was forgotten. "Robin Hood and Lady Marian." He hazarded a guess. Christine seemed like the romantic sort. "...maybe one person. I don't sing very often." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_christine_daae 2012-04-25 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Christine took notice of his stiffening. Perhaps he did not like the story? "Yes but often she is mentioned as Maid Marian." Though it wasn't that important, it depended on what book was read. She was surprised by that. "You should. It is not one to hide away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gisborne_guy 2012-04-25 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Guy just nodded. Of course. Hood got Marian and they lived happily ever after, no doubt, while he was written out of history. "I've not had much cause to sing in my life." It had been one filled with pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If there is not cause, that is when you should especially sing. You sing of the woes and you sing of the lows. Music is not only for happy times." After all not all plays ended in happily ever after.

"You just need to find the right song." She pointed out. Once they reached the Parlor Car, she released his arm. "The last song I sang, before I was brought here, was an aria of a girl telling her summer beau goodbye, and not to forget her. To remember her, even if he felt the need to take his hear back. To remember the good things, and the things she might be going through with trying not to think of him."

	He allowed a small smile. "I sing when I have the heart to," he advised. And he was certain that had he gone through life bursting into song, Vaisey would have had more than a bit to say to him on that matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It is good that you do. I do when the whim strikes me. Or I find a partner that makes it difficult not to join in." Christine smiled up at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
