Something Old/Something New [Cupid Challenge – Kaylee]
Sir Guy of Gisborne was doing what he did best; brooding. Everything around him was celebrating love and romance. That, of course, made him think of Marian. And how she had left him on their wedding day. Why could she not see that everything he did was to assure their future? A good future with the power and position that they both deserved.

He would never find a woman he loved as much as he loved Marian.

Guy leaned against the side of a building, watching people as they walked by. He thought they were a little too open with showing their affections for one another. But he was starting to learn that this was just another part of the strangeness of The City. He didn’t think he would ever get use to it. He knew he didn’t want to get use to it. He wanted to return to Nottingham.

He wanted Marian.

He felt a slight sting to the back of his shoulder. He brushed off his leather coat and looked back. Nothing was there that could have hurt him. It was probably just a large insect. He turned back to continue watching the people and then he saw her. She was so delicate and more beautiful than even Marian. Guy’s heart leapt as he watched her. She would be his.

He strolled up to the young lady and gave her his best smile. “Pardon me, milady. You should not walk through town unescorted. I am Sir Guy of Gisborne. Please allow me the honor of your company.” Guy bowed slightly as he introduced himself, offering her his arm.

Kaylee was in very very good spirits. She'd been fixin' serenity up nice and pretty. Zoe was back. Mal didn't shoot Kyle. Kyle Kyle Kyle Kyle! She wanted to dance around because of it. Not to mention, it was Valentine's day. And Kaylee was sure that she'd be seeing Kyle soon.

She was smiling and walking fine until the man strolled up and stopped her. She blinked a few times. "I always stroll around alone." But then something hit her, she was looking at him. He was.. he was very pretty.

Very very pretty. Sir Guy. SIR Guy. He was her knight.

....What?

Kaylee took his arm either way. "But that is really sweet of you Sir Guy. I'm Kaylee Frye, mechanic." Whatever she'd been thinking about before was lost on her. She had this handsome man payin' attention to her and offering his company.

What could be wrong with that?

“Kaylee,” he said, repeating her name. “What a lovely name.” Guy assumed from her name that she came from a family of Irish cooks or monks. Fryers of one type or another. She had the most amazing smile.

Sir Guy smiled as he walked with Kaylee. He wished he were more familiar with what The City had to offer. It would not be easy to try to court the young lady if he didn’t know if there were tournaments to take her to or trails for them to go riding on. He didn’t even know yet if there were any horses here.

Regardless, he would find a way to win her heart.

“You say you are a mechanic?” He had no idea what that was, but it sounded like a religious sect from the Germanic regions. “I, myself, am a catholic. I did fight with some Teutonic knights in the Holy Land. Perhaps some of them were mechanics.”

Guy walked Kaylee to the park. It was a much better setting for romance than The City’s streets. “If I had my horse, I would take you for a ride. But I fear we will have to settle with sitting by the lake. If that is alright with you, milady.”

Kaylee blinked a few times. Catholic? Knights? Holy land? Sounded like the preacher's territory. Did he think she was like the preacher? Kaylee smiled either way. Lots of folks didn't understand her bein' from the future, or flying around in space.

"So you are a Knight. I thought so. I'm however, not religious. I said Mechanic because it's a profession.. I fix things. Mechanical things." Kaylee pointed quickly towards a car that was driving past the park. "I fix things like that I mean. Cooler things than that." Like space ships. She wanted him to know she was better than a mere-auto-mechanic. She just knew how to make just about anything work.

"I like sitting by lakes. It's a nice change 'o pace from sittin' in space." Kaylee smiled at him. "Anything you want to do is alright with me, Sir Guy."

Mechanical things? “Oh! I understand. The machines they use around the mines and such. Pulleys and gears and the lot, correct?” He didn’t know how they worked, but he didn’t have to know really. That was not the type of work for a man like him.

“I am a knight,” he said, smiling at her. “I hope you won’t hold that against me.” He knew that some of the lower class were wary of mingling with knights. But Kaylee seemed to be braver than most. She did not seem at all intimidated by his status. She was an amazing lady.

Guy noticed that other people had the same idea for romance as he did, as the park was full of couples. But he was not willing to share his newfound love. He grabbed a blanket from a vendor, tossing him a few coins. He hoped his gold and silver was acceptable currency here. But he wasn’t going to take the time to find out.

Kaylee was waiting for him. She was so beautiful, he wished he had met her back in his own time. She is the best woman for him.

He spread out the blanket by the lake and offered Kaylee his hand to help her sit. “So, you sit in space? You should tell me about space. From what I’ve seen of this City, I’m sure it is something real that I have never experienced before.”

Kaylee nodded a little. "Kinda. Less pulleys, more metal and engines." Kaylee didn't know if it was too over his head..cause it was for some of the city's people. She'd start talking about space and engines and some people gave her weird looks.

Kaylee smiled at him. "I don't mind it at all. Makes me feel like a princess." And it did. All she needed was a pretty dress and some flowers in her hair..

Maybe later.

He kind of reminded her of Mal though.

EW. No. No that thought left her. He was a good looking kind of.. bad guy almost. But he was a Knight. That meant he was good, rigt?

She waited for him and took his arm when he came back to lead her to the lake. She sat down with his help and laid back on her hands. THe sun felt good. She practically sparkled with happiness.

"I live in a spaceship. Mostly space is a lot of black, dotted with stars. Stars up close are way too bright and normally hot so you stay away from them. Moons come in all shapes and sizes and there's a load of colors out there you wouldn't think you'd see when you come around strange new planets." Kaylee smiled. "I'd take you out there if I could. but we're grounded, the crew I'm a part of I mean. Mal and I have been trying to get the ship into space but it ain't workin' none."

“You should always be treated like a princess, milady.” Guy lightly brushed his lips against the back of her hand.

Mal? She was associated with someone named ‘Mal’? Did she just work with this Mal or was there something going on there he would have to take care of? Guy was not going to be so nice with any competition this time. He had spared Hood, for Marian’s sake. But ‘Mal’ would not be so lucky.

“It sounds like a very exciting life, milady. I would say I’m sorry your … ship is grounded, but we both know I would be lying.” It was a bit interesting to think of the ships sailing through the stars. He was certain the priests would find a reason to claim such visions were blasphemous, but it wouldn’t be the first time he was excommunicated.

“If you were not grounded, then I would never would have had the pleasure of meeting you.” Guy thought that this girl might be why he was brought to the City. They were meant to be together.

"Me? A princess?" Kaylee laughed then. "Oh I'm more of a roll around in the dirt kinda girl, Sir Guy. Sure somethimes I like to be dressed all pretty and have my hair done nice and stuff. But most of the time? I'm at home with being caked in engine grease or somethin' like that." She smiled all the same, her cheeks pinked when he kissed her hand.

Kissed. She suddenly thought of Kyle and her heart sank a little. She liked Kyle. But suddenly loved Sir Guy? Where was the logic in that? What.. What happened. Bu he was talking again and as he did she was drawn into him more and more. Her heart was screaming yes, and her head was whispering no.

Heart it was.

"Well if I never get it up an' out of atmo' Mal'll shoot me. Or at least lock me in the engine room til' I get 'er fixed." Kaylee was still smiling, and leaning closer to him. "Captain has rules about us doing our jobs and all.."

Guy wasn’t sure he liked the sound of that. This ‘Mal’ would either shoot her or lock her up if she did not do as he demanded? That was not the way to treat a woman as delicate and sweet as Kaylee. He was starting to remind Guy of the Sheriff. And not in a good way.

“I will speak with Mal and get him to see that you need your freedom to spend time with me.” He was certain Mal would see his point. One way or another.

He didn’t think he had felt this protective when Marian had been the one to hold his heart. Kaylee needed him more. And she returned his affections. Guy doubted she would hit him and leave him at their wedding altar for another man. He knew that Kaylee was right for him.

“Whatever this engine grease is, I’ll make certain you have more than you could ever desire. You don’t have to allow this ‘Mal’ to control your life anymore. You have me.” Guy took her hands in his and held them to his chest. God, how he loved her.

"No!" Kaylee's eyes widened considerably. "You can't. Mal's like.. It's not like that. No. Mal's my captain. I mean, like my boss. But he's more like my dad really. He takes good care of me, I swear." Kaylee looked down at his hands holding her hands to his chest.

"..You want to control my life?" Kaylee shook her head, looking back up to him. Sure she loved him, for whatever gorram reason, but none of this made any sense.

WHAT ABOUT KYLE. Something in her yelled.

"I can't.. I mean.. For whatever reason I feel like I love you, Sir Guy. But.. I don't.. this city does.. things to people and I.." She was looking at him then. She couldn't say she wanted to go, even when she did. She should go. "There's no reason for you to love me. You hardly know me. I hardly know you for lugnuts sake! Doesn't that seem.. fishy to you? At all?" Kaylee didn't try to pull away though.

She couldn't.

What was this?

Guy frowned. Was she questioning his love for her? Did she think he was the type to succumb to some witch’s curse that would make him love some random woman? She was beginning to sound like Marian with all those doubts. At least he took some comfort in knowing this Mal fellow wasn’t a threat.

“I am not some simpleton that is easily influenced by some City!” He was not happy with this turn of her feelings. “You should not doubt your own heart or mine. I do not give my love freely, milady. Nor to one undeserving of such affections.”

He took at deep breath and brought his hand up to cup her cheek. “There is nothing ‘fishy’ going on. We were just meant to be together and God found a way for that to happen. Don’t fight it and don’t think about it. Just feel it.”

Guy leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers in an inappropriate public showing of his affection. But it seemed necessary to quiet Kaylee’s questions of his intentions. “Just feel.”

Kaylee was having problems breathing just then. She didn't want to upset him, far from it. But even in the back of her head she knew this wasn't right, even if it felt right. She tried to focus on something beide Sir guy, but it wasn't working at all. Kaylee parted her lips a little when he cupped her cheek.

"But I shouldn't.." Kaylee didn't have her whole heart behind the arguement, she really didn't. She wanted to just let go and let whatever happen.

When he leaned forward, Kaylee felt the ret of the world fall away, but he only brushed his lips to her. Kaylee wasn't shy none at all. She leaned in and kissed him, and it wasn't soft at all.

It burned, in a good way at first, but her head was yelling at her, she jerked back just as suddenly as she deepened it.

"Wait wait.. I'm not.. I can't.." She pushed herself off the ground and away from him, but not too far because she just couldn't let herself. NO.

"M'Sorry, Sir Guy. But I don't know what's goin' on in my head an' my heart right now. Everythin's been all confusin' since I got to the City."
