Who: Robin and Much When: October 17th, morning What: Robin introduces Much to Lawrence 2009 (continued from here) Rating: PG at most
It might have been nice to bring Marian, and to see if Allan wanted to come along; however, Much had seemed fairly flustered (moreso than usual), so Robin figured that giving just the two of them a chance to talk might be the best way to go. With that in mind, he headed out for the walk to the library.
Despite the passage of a few weeks, he was still feeling badly about the way he had treated his gang upon their return to England. He had been thrilled to see Allan, even though it turned out that he had no idea what had even happened-- and was carrying some guilt of his own. And Much had not said what time he had come from, so it was possible that he was also unaware of how horribly Robin had behaved toward him, especially after Much had refused to leave his side during the return trip from Acre. But regardless of whether or not he knew, Robin did, and he had been carrying the memory of their revelations on his last birthday with a heavy heart, even if he would not admit it to anyone but himself. One of the things that had bothered him most about being pulled out of his own time was having lost the chance to really make amends.
Now, he had that chance, and intended to make the most of it. Besides which, he had truly missed his friend; no matter how often Much could be exasperating, he had always been there. Once he was gone, Robin had greatly missed his presence.
When he bounded up the steps of the library, he had to grin. Introducing Much to the future was going to be vastly entertaining.
