Tuck had messaged Robin to let him know that he and Will were headed over. Little John was already over, so Robin told them to head on over as well, and then he looked up at Johnny and grinned. "Tuck and Will are headed this way," he explained. They were seated in the bar at the Fox, sipping at some really nice honey mead John had brought from Elaine. "His brew is heavenly by the way, you have to tell your lady," he said, taking another drink. "Wonder what the friar and nephew want."

Will's shopping trip with Addy had been quite fruitful. She still wasn't used to having to carry a handbag, but if she pretended it was like a quiver, that made it easier. Pockets in women's jeans really were quite inadequate.

They had bought everything from the feet up. Shoes, socks, pants, underwear, tops and jackets, everything a brand new capsule wardrobe would contain. They'd gone to a thrift shop for some things, and a department store for others, as Will was wanting to not spend her entire savings account on this, and there were also always the church donations available too. Not that she wanted to take from the needy. So now she was heading to the Sly Fox with Tuck, in jeans that Tuck had informed her very much flattered her figure, and a cut off old teeshirt under her favourite red jacket, hair in a ponytail and minimal makeup. She hadn't wanted to come across as overly feminine. She just wanted to present as herself.

She glanced at Tuck as they headed into the Fox through the back door as usual, feeling a twist of nerves in her gut. As much as she knew they would accept her, she still couldn't help the notion that they wouldn't.

"After you, hon," she said to Tuck, holding the door for him to go on in, and shutting it again carefully behind them. The Fox was looking much better these days than it had originally. A lot of spit and polish had gone into cleaning it up, and Elaine's floral flourishes decorated edges and panels here and there. A wooden sign illustrated with a very sly-looking fox decorated the wall above the bar instead of standing on the street outside, where in another life, it ought to have.

"Oi oi," Little John said cheerfully in greeting as Tuck entered, and then his brow creased in gentle befuddlement when Scarlet followed him in, getting to his feet. "Oh, hey now Tuck- You know we don't allow unapproved guests. No offense, miss."

"None taken," Will replied, glancing around. "Tuck approves of me most days, that's what matters." She stood hands on hips, chin up, determined to be confident and not shrinking before them.

	Tuck snorted then, "yes, only most days," he joked. Robin glanced at the woman, and he gave her a roguish smile. "Sorry, ma'am, my friend here is right-" he stopped when he realised she was wearing Will's jacket. "That's nephew's jacket," he pointed out. "Niece, rather," Tuck said, and he moved to kiss Will on the cheek. "Surprise. Do jazz hands, sweetheart." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Little John just looked at them with a frown, and Will shrugged. "Ta-dah," she said, spreading her hands as suggested. "Something funny happened yesterday..." Johnny laughed suddenly, and it was Will's turn to frown back at him for a moment before she laughed too, less enthusiastically. "Ha ha. Yeah. Well, I'm still Scarlet, whatever the size of my tits." Here she finally glanced at Robin, a flicker of insecurity showing through. If he didn't agree...

	Robin was finding it strange as well, but he was trying not to show it. He didn't want Will to feel self-conscious, but god it was weird. "Uh- No, much the same. I just- Sheriff's been messaging me near constantly. Driving me up the fuckin wall." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well that's feckin stupid. Reckon he got a screw loose. You think he'd know about this?" he asked Will. "How's it feel?" He was pretty curious, he had to admit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh god, what happened?" Robin said, looking worried. Tuck snorted and he reached out to pat their leader's shoulder. "They bought clothes, Rob. What do you think happened?!" "I dunno, some kind of- Look I am still dealing with the fact that my nephew has-" Robin sort of indicated Will's tits. "Not very woke of you," Tuck said, raising an amused eyebrow.

	Robin very much did not want a pair, but he wasn't going to say that. It seemed rude. "I'm glad they're...fun," he said, very much not looking at Tuck so he didn't have to see the sly look on the man's face. He cleared his throat and took a swig of his mead before answering. "Not sure I'd trust him as far as I could throw him. Why, what were you thinking?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
