Cold beer, warm day, baseball AT THE FIELD and… well good company. This wasn’t that bad of a day for Marian as she settled into her seat. A small sigh of comfort left her as she felt her body relax and she took a long deep drink of her beer. She was here, she was at the stadium and… well she’s with Robert – could be worse really. She could be with Edward. Maybe Robert wasn’t as bad as he made himself out to be. She felt surprisingly comfortable around him and with his willingness to step in between her and Edward she felt – almost like – she could be protected. How weird.

He didn’t ask her father… well now. That’s taking a walk on a very dangerous side with the man who’s been rather trigger happy with the whole Robin Hood thing. Poor Robin, stuck with her father attempting to hunt him down; good thing he had Marian on his side… but Robert was on the side of her father. It’s surprising to hear about him ‘breaking the rules’ his comment made her raise a blonde eyebrow up to him. “Surprised to hear you walk on the wild side like that Locksley…” She gave him a little nudge, “I like it.”

They stood politely with their hats off as the anthem played and the crowd (along with the two on the not-date) before sitting back down in the seats. His comment about her never being to a game made her laugh again as she stuck her hat back on her head, “You just can’t let that go can you??” She asked playfully before continuing with a shrug, “Um… I’ve never… let’s see…”

“Why if it isn’t Miss Marian Anderson.” An older man’s voice said in their direction and Marian turned around to see Governor Lyon giving her a small wave from the walk way. “Lovely to see you.”

“Hello Governor!” Marian called back in surprise. “It’s nice to see you again.” She returned the wave with a small.

“Nice to see  you out and about young lady. I was worried your father had put you on house arrest.” 

“Well, when you go out with someone you trust your father tends to look the other way…”

“I’m sorry,” The Governor said quickly realizing that there was a young man staring at him, “I didn’t realize you were out on a date… I’ll be on my way. I must use the men’s room before the game goes too far. Enjoy the game, I’m sorry I interrupted.”

“No you didn’t…” It was too late; the Governor had left the area and headed towards the bathroom. She fell back into her chair feeling a bit defeated; her blue gaze moved back to Robert as she gave him a soft smile, “My dad and Governor Lyon went to college together.” She said with a small shrug. “Hopefully he doesn’t have him on speed dial or our ‘walk on the wild side’ could turn into my phone exploding.” A laugh left her before she shifted in her seat. “As for things I haven’t done… I’ve never been on the back of a motorcycle. I’ve never been to the top of the Empire State Building and I have never had ice cream in central park. Tried to convince someone…” Robin Hood, “To meet me in Central Park for ice cream but they turned me down. Sad really but oh well.” She said with a shrug before giving him a playful nudge. “What about you?”
