Like hell I will.

[He's on his knees, his hands bound at the wrists, and there's defiance blazing in his blue eyes.]

Oh, I will? And who shall teach me?

You will or you will rot in the dungeon and learn to respect me there.

That's what you think. The dungeon hasn't been built that I can't get out of.

*He tips Robin's chin up with his finger*

You think you own all of this, Locksley. Not anymore.

[It shouldn't send a tingle through him, that touch of Guy's finger under his chin, but Robin just barely suppresses the urge to shudder.]

I will own it again, Gisborne. Don't you worry.

[She scoffs] Is that right?

I respect all living people, sir. No exceptions.

Is that so? I'd like to see you try, boy.

Don't call me boy. I've got a name.

*But it's Robin of Locksley on his knees in front of him. The power of the situation attracts him of course, but there's more than that. He's always liked Robin, they played with it before but nothing more.*

*His smirk turns playful.*

I'd like to see you try. *Then he lowers his voice, beyond what anyone else except for Robin could hear* We need to talk. Not here.

That is right, peasant. *Though she looks odd for a peasant but he doesn't really care how she appears.* Question me again and I'll have your tongue.

Do you now, because I am your master and I don't see the respect I deserve for it. Why is that?

You really think you're scary?

Do you. Does that concern me at all? No, it doesn't. I don't care.

Why don't you untie me? I'll make you care.

*He steps closer to her, narrowing his eyes as he looks down at her* I am scary.

[She scoffs] No you're not.

No you won't. *Takes hold of the kid's chin, holding his face up to his eyeline* You're not getting out of here. I don't even care a little for what happens to you down here. You've brought this on yourself.

Let me go! [He squirms in the older man's grip, trying to pull away but having absolutely no success. Finding himself eye to eye with his captor he tries to stare him down. His eyes are hard and angry, but scared, too.] You can't manhandle me like this. I'm not your property!

Then you're a fool. You'll rot down here in the dungeon, woman or not. I care not what happens to you.

Yes you are. *He lets go of his chin, but not before pushing his head away* You do belong to me now, boy. Your life is in my hands. And if that garners no respect, then that life serves no purpose and will end. Is that clear enough?

[David wants to fight, to defy it, but he's not a fool. And he doesn't want to die either. Breathing hard, he looks down at the dirt, bowing his head.] ... yeah. .. I mean, yes. Yes, it's clear enough.

That's what you think.

[Robin really, really shouldn't like the look of that playful smirk, nor should he be turned on by the way that Guy towers over him, that he has to crane his neck back to look up at him. He never thought he'd get a thrill out of being on his knees in front of another man, but here he is, practically vibrating with it.

When Guy lowers his voice, it's all Robin can do to keep the surprise from showing on his face, and he licks his lips.]

Well, you're the one who's got me tied up. I suppose I have to go where you drag me.

That's better. *He let go of David's chin and took a step back.* Now. You are going to stay down here and think about all of this. When you are ready to obey, you can go.

What do you mean? [He keeps his head down, breathing a little easier now that the sheriff isn't breathing in his face.] You can't just leave me down here... I mean, there's rats as big as cats, I saw one before you came.

That is what I think because it's true.

It really isn't.

*The way that Robin licks his lips shouldn't turn him on so much. He smirks at him again--that is true, he's the one who's got Robin tied up. He's got control of him.

He tugs on the ropes in emphasis, just to remind him that yes, that's true. But then he pulls Robin to his feet.*

You do. And you are coming with me. *Vaisey wants Robin delivered to the castle but he does have to go with Guy. He just won't take him straight there. They might make an extra stop along the way.* On your feet, Locksley.

That is a shame for you. *But he really doesn't care, it's obvious on his face. He smirks at him and turns to leave, slamming the door behind him.*

Wait, wait! [He gives in to open panic now, straining against his bonds and pleading.] Don't go! I'll obey, I swear. Don't leave me down here! Please!

[Robin has no choice but to stand when Guy tugs on the ropes but he tries to hide the little shiver that goes through him. He lifts his chin, shooting Guy a defiant look.]

As I said, I don't have a choice. [He's actually a little apprehensive about where Guy is taking him, but he's (mostly) confident that he can handle anything. If Guy does take him to Vaisey, he'll find a way to escape.]

*He pauses just at the door, the smirk on his face only visible when he turns around.* Well? Do you have something for me instead?

[He bows his head, watching Guy fearfully, like he expects him to leave at any minute.] Yes, yes, please just don't leave me down here. What do you want from me?

*He ties the rope to his horse's saddle and spurs him into a trot to make Locksley work for it. He definitely enjoys the power, especially after so much time with Vaisey lording over him and being powerless. Still, this is Robin, he doesn't want to hurt him. Just teach him a lesson maybe? Or gain some respect.

Actually he really just wants to kiss him, and much more than that. Those aren't new urges. He takes Robin to Locksley manor and finally slows his horse as they walk into the estate. He climbs down and tugs on Robin's rope.* We have some business before I take you to the castle. And maybe you need to catch your breath.

I want information, boy. I want to know about the outlaws. Where they go, when they come into the villages.. What do you know?

Impress me.

I know... He swallows nervously.] I know enough. I'm not one of them, but they let me stay with them for a few days. They warned me about you.

[A pause, and then.] I met their leader.

Oh, did they?

*He starts to smile, slowly and sinister.* And where are they?

[That smile sends a chill up his spine, but it's still better than being left alone in here with the rats.]

Deep in the woods. I could show you the way, but it'd be dangerous. They have people that keep a lookout for intruders. They only spared me because I'm a kid.

*He walks back over to him, pulling him to his feet by his shirt*

If you got there once, then you can get there again.

[He grunts wordlessly when he's pulled to his feet but he knows better than to try fighting back now.]

Yes. I can. I will. [Because, really, what else can he say?]

[Robin stumbles along behind Guy's horse, and he frowns as Guy spurs the animal into a trot. It's all Robin can do to keep his footing, and once he trips, he's dragged along for a bit before he manages to get himself back onto his feet. He's glaring at Guy by the time he finally slows the horse, but the glare is quickly dropped as he realizes where Guy has brought him.]

Oh! You brought me home! How courteous of you. [He frowns when Guy tugs on his rope, and yes, actually, catching his breath does sound nice. He also catches Guy's scent as he stumbles forward, and his breath catches. It's been so long since he's smelled that combination of ginger and chamomile, and the urge to kiss him is even stronger.]

You said we need to talk. So talk.

*Well, for one, Guy's attention was definitely more on Robin's lips than his eyes, especially as he got closer. Lavender and rose petals. He breathed out slowly, bringing a hand up to take hold of Robin's chin, but his grip was soft and his thumb wandered up to rub his lower lip gently. Then he withdrew it again before anyone saw.*

The Sheriff will kill you, you know. And that would be a terrible shame since you just got home and we've barely had the time to greet each other.

*He finally raises his eyes to Robin's* I'm sorry I haven't been able to speak to you before this. I couldn't risk it. I wanted to warn you that I had to act this way. Vaisey, he's.. much more powerful than he was when you left. *He swallows hard, his eyes drifting away* Much more horrible.
