Becoming Friends (Closed to Djaq) (original) (raw)

Who: Marian and Djaq
What: Girl Bonding Time?
Where: Camp
When: 25th of November, early afternoon

Camp was relatively quiet for once, not that Marian was complaining. It was part of the package that came with staying here; she had to deal with a bunch of men who really could act like boys a lot of the time. Though they didn't seem as bad as she had sometimes imagined as well as being rather welcoming to her. She had to wonder if they toned it down because of her arrival or if they genuinely did not act the fools all the time. After all she knew she was different even though Djaq was a woman. They classed her a little more as one of the lads than they classed Marian, at least in her eyes. Not that she would bring it up of course. She had more freedom here than she had in the past few years, she wasn't going to complain about that aspect.

The autumn weather was making it chillier in camp but she was use to the cold; castle corridors weren't exactly known for their warmth no matter the Sheriff who inhabited it. Robin and John had long gone looking for some more wood to build up a fire and the flames were starting to die. Glancing around for the few bits of wood Robin told her should do until they got back, she slid down from her bunk and reached for the bits of old branch and threw them on the small fire. The heat grew within a few seconds and it gave Marian a chance to give a small smile. But that smile fell when she felt another twinge in her stomach, placing her hand over the pain. Since coming to camp and with each passing day getting colder she had felt stiffness and occasionally pain where the deep wound Guy inflicted on her was. Robin had assured her it would stop doing so soon, even if it had been a while since she was hurt it really was still a fresh wound. It would take some time before it really settled or at least until she no longer acknowledged the pain.
