Today, you will witness the killings of 2 peasants, Mary and Ronald, who do not understand the meaning of respect.
Noah paced towards some nearby peasants and leaned in towards the group. He whispered to them something that made them all look shocked and bewildered. They hastily stepped back from Noah, slumped their heads and tears drew from their eyes.
So if anybody has anything to say about it, feel free to step forward. BUT I wouldn't be so courageous if I were you, you might just be back here for a second time today.
The crowd stood inaudibly and nervous, staring at the two individuals on the stands ready to have their lives taken from them. Noah stood on the top step of the castle smiling at the swarm of mucky town-folk shaking their heads with disgrace.
No, nobody wants a second trip to see me, not even Robin Hood, okay. Let the hangings commence.
Before Noah gave the signal to pull the lever and hang the victims he had a quick look to see if Robin was to suddenly appear. He didn’t so he gave the signal, Mary and Ronald both dropped everyone turned and walked away.

Lady Dorothy Honeychurch stood motionless a good few feet away from any peasants and accompanied by a few of her finest and most obedient servants. Hangings where unpleasant but necessary, they showed the scum who was in charge. Lady Dorothy didn't enjoy attending such events but she would lose some of the fear factor that surrounded her if she where not to show her face.
On this particular day she had not come for the hanging but to have a word with the chief guard Noah Green. Dorothy was expecting a large crate carrying some valuable objects that she had requested from a Spanish trader. There was a great deal of secrecy surrounding the crate, Dorothy made sure that as little people as passable new about it and its contents. The crate and its carrier was dew to arrive in Nettlestone in the next couple of days and Lady Dorothy wasn't going to take any chances. Ever since Robin Hood had been back from the holy land nothing was safe and Lady Dorothy would do what ever it took to keep her possessions to herself.
" Chief Green may i have a word" she called in her soft distinctive voice " in private if i may" .

Noah stood by watching to see if anybody had anything to say, knowing already that nobody would be stupid enough to bother him after saying what he had just said. But strangely enough he heard a voice coming from the crowd. He lifted his head and scrunched his eyes up in anger.
“Who dares object?!”
Noah looked around to see Lady Honeychurch standing tall and proud. He stepped down and apologized for his language towards her.
“Sorry Lady Honeychurch, I did not see it was you who was speaking up towards me. I suppose we must delay this for a few moments.”
Noah took his hand from the hanging lever and walked over to Lady Honeychurch. He nodded his head and led her over to an empty area of the castle.
“What can I do for you my lady?”

Lady Honeychurch arched an eyes brow and gave a single nod before striding towards the spot he had indicated. She stood silently for a few moments as she thought what she was about to say over, this was a matter of great importance not only to her self but the rest of England.
“Is Sir Guy around?”
Maybe this wasn’t the something to be trusted to Noah Green he was after all just the chief Guard but he was also from noble birth. If she where to tell Noah first it could be seen in as a personal betrayal to the Sheriff and Gisborne by not telling them first. However Lady Honeychurch had heard rumours of a spy in the castle which was liked to Sir Guy’s men and she should not risk it.
“I have a delivery coming in from the south. One that will benefit both myself and the other nobles. I am expecting it to arrive via the North road which inconveniently runs threw Sherwood. I’m not a fool and I know that if this delivery travels threw Sherwood with out the right protection it shall never reach the other side. I am not a fool and as we have seen so far neither if Robin Hood. What I am requesting is some of your strongest and most loyal guards.”
This was more of an order than a request and that was clearly heard in her voice. She gave a discrete sideward glance to her servants who where all stood statue like awaiting her return.

“Sorry Lady Honeychurch, but was this a matter of complete urgency as I was in the middle of hanging two very deserved crooks. Can this wait until after I have dealt with the perpetrators?”
Noah looked at Lady Honeychurch and smiled, then looked around to see what was going on out on in the courtyard. He appeared to be rather impatient.
“I must return to the courtyard and finish the execution. People are waiting and are beginning to get restless. As soon as I finish, I will see that you are escorted by the finest and strongest guards we have. Will that do for you? Is that all you shall be requesting?”
Before letting her answer he turned around and edged closer to the yard. He waited for her answer so that he could hurry back and finish the job he was so longing to do.
Noah noticed the few servants looking at both him and Lady Honeychurch and did not like it. He never really liked when people stared at him.
“Lady Honeychurch, would you be so kind to make you’re servants leave me alone and go away and to stop them watching me so much, it is extremely infuriating!”
Noah turned and walked off; he was especially aggravated at this point due to the delay, but, He was happy to return and finally get on with his job, At least until he heard booing coming from the crowd below.

She gave an unimpressed look at the peasants who still stood with the hanging bags over there heads. They where shacking uncontrollably and it wasn't making things any better by having the moment drawn out. Spectators around the scaffold where beginning to get impatient and the low grumblaning of there voices was escalating.
"This matter is far more important than these two. "
She didn't have time for this and she certinly didn't like it when she wasn't the center of attention.
" pay not attention to them they are simple"
Turning Lady Honeychurch gave a stern look at the group behind her who dropped there gaze to the ground. It was late and time was pressing on leaving Dorothy with less time to set her plans in to motion. Maybe6. ,after all it would have been better if she had gone straight to Sir guy and she was surprised that Noah hadn't been more intarested in what the crate contained. At that moment a young man, servent of Lady Honeychurch sprang on to the scaffold kicking a guard in the groin and yelling angrily. His name was Callum Sullivan and had only been working for Lady Honeychurch a few short weeks. There where a few loud cheers of encouragement from the on lookers which drowned out the yells of the guards. " thats my mother , get your hands of me you *!"^?£ " Callum was screaming as he struggled to get to his mother who, still with the bag over her head was looking around wildly.
Dorothy was outraged not only was this interrupting her but he was making her look bad, being one of her servants.

"Okay, well make it quick. As you can probably see I am pretty busy, is there someone you need taken care of ? are somebody bothering you ?!"
Noah seemed a bit concerned and protective of Lady Honeychurch. He still kept looking at the few people standing around them listening intently. He felt awkward around them, as if they were inspecting him and his job.
"I'm very sorry but i am going to ask your friends to leave for a moment, don't worry i wont bite."
Noah edged over a bit further away from the servants.
" There was actually something i wanted to talk to you about as well, I was wondering if........your room was big enough?"
Noah was going to ask her something else, but decided not to just ask he was asking her. His cheeks suddenly went bright red and he looked behind him to try and hide it.

Lady Honeychurch raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow and gave a small one sided smile. That was a peculiar question and it she was taken aback slightly what on earth did he mean? Was it some sort of code that she had forgotten or was this man just insane?
“My room is a perfect size, thanks you for asking” she said with a musical laugh. The wind had picked up and blew her honey colored hair causing her to scowl. She may be a powerful woman but she didn’t have power over the weather and it infuriated her. If it where to rain on her now she may have to fire some one to cheer her self up.
“ Shall we take this conversation some where less … exposed?”

Noah was feeling less embarrassed as Lady Dorothy did not acknowledge his red cheeks, or that he changed what he was going to say. He gave a smile and tried to hide it to make it look like he wasn't overjoyed to be invited somewhere quieter.
"Of course Lady Honeychurch, where do you suggest ?"
Noah was actually quite busy and didn't have much time to stay and chat, but he did not want to leave or disappoint her. He waited for her suggestions then he would go to wherever it was and try to find a worthy excuse.
(crap post haha, sorry.)
