She chose her words carefully, not wanting to anger him further. It seemed, at that moment at least, that his fury wasn't directed at her. She'd rather not risk changing that. Though if she succeeded in calming him, he'd have time to think of the secrets kept from him. How he handled that would remain to be seen.
"That isn't what this place is for," she said quietly, her eyes on him despite the ache watching him caused her. If he had to suffer through this, so should she. "This Seal brought him here for a reason. The same as it did you and me. We aren't to fight that, Robin. It isn't for us to decide."
She hesitated, only because she was trying to find conviction in her words. She'd told herself on discovering he was there that she wouldn't viciously attack Sir Guy of Gisborne. But the longer she had to think about it, to be reminded of a future she'd never know...the harder it was to remember why. All the fighting she'd done, the lying and cheating and hurting those she loved, all in England's name...she'd never know if it was worth it. If it had done any good. And suddenly she understood Robin's desperate need to know.
Worrying at her lower lip, Marian shook her head. "We aren't God, Robin. It isn't our place to decide someone's fate. This isn't a war." Well, she supposed it was. But not between them, the humans brought by this Seal. The war was against Lucifer and the demons. "If he was brought here it was with reason. It's not for you or me to decide how he is to die."
Finally standing, she crossed to where he stood and slowly but deliberately slipped her arms around his waist and buried her face against his chest. "I can't change what happened. I wish I could. But I won't have the man I love becoming a killer because of me."
