who are you? dim lighting. robin cannot make out who it is. you lie. robin is dead. step into the light. turn around. i am the maid marian. with the king away, these are lawless times. there are outlaws villainous enough to kidnap and ransom a relative of his. protect me? robin of locksley was nothing but a spoiled bully. thank you. now remove yourself from this household. a figure steps behind robin. sticks a sword in his back. as you can see, we are already well protected.
