The road through Sherwood Forest was a quiet and rather nice, even if she did have a chance to be attacked the ‘the outlaws’. If anything they were the least terrifying thing in Nottingham, first place had to go to the Sheriff, a rather creepy old man. And maybe Guy of Gisborn gets second place, him being rather scary himself as well. Robin Hood and his merry men, though had never met before, didn’t seem like the type of guys to rob a woman, and not a wealthy looking woman either. So the odds were pretty slim, and anyways it was nice to be alone sometimes.
Ashas deep green dress draped over the side of her horse’s saddle, as the black mare walked slowly down the path. Her ‘Raven’ cloths were hidden in the small sack with lay hidden away in a small village just outside of the Nottingham region. It was too hard to leave such things close, just incase of someone finding it. Her black hair lay down her back as a small sound came to her ears.

Much stumbled through the forest, not really don't anything interesting in particular. The gang were all on their separate errands. Much had been told to wait at camp. But he had soon enough got bored sitting at camp on his own, so decided to go for a walk by himself. It would give him time at least to think about things.
He slowly slid down a hill, his eyes fixed on a spot ahead of him. What should he cook for dinner tonight? Actually, he might get someone else to do it instead. He didn't even know why he was the unofficial cook of the gang. Then he started to think about Robin. He and various members of the gang had gone to Locksley, to distributing money to the peasants there. They had recently raided a wedding, which had been a success. They had got a lot of jewelry and money out of it, and it would help the people of Locksley, Nottingham, and wherever else a great deal.
Before Much knew what was happening, he heard hooves a few metres away. His throat constricted as he turned around to see a horse trotting towards him. He stood rooted to the spot. He realized there was not enough time to run away, so he simply stood were he was, hoping with all hope that the person passing was not the Sheriff or Guy. He had left his short sword and shield at the camp, so would not be able to defend himself. He winced quietly to himself. |

Asha smoothed the mare’s mane as the animal came to a student stop. Seeing as she wasn’t really paying attention to where she was going, letting the animal control her distention ,though still glancing forwards the odd time to control the horse so she staying on the road.
She was thrown slightly from her seat, causing her to grab the reins. The horse reared with the sudden pull of the reins, this time really sending Asha from the horse. Flipping her long hair from her face, she then notice why the horse had stopped.stupid animal.She though to herself at she looked up at the man before her. Maybe it was her new bad luck fro bumping into men when she wanted to be alone.
The dumb animal seemed more spooked my a man they anything else, it was a drag sometimes. With a sigh, she got up and brushed off her now dusty dress and telling the animal to go graze in Hindu. That was one less thing to worry about, until she realized she had forgotten the man who stood still, almost frozen in place before her.”That’s just a horse my friend, more harmless then a fly.”

Much stayed rooted to the spot, as the woman before him got down off her horse. She spoke in a confusing way, and Much didn't quite know how to respond. "Er," he said, the little shred of dignity he had left hanging on a shred. The woman was smartly dressed, but she didn't look like the kind of person that would be on the Sheriff's side. But Much didn't loosen the tensness that was occupying his body, even at that thought.
Finally, Much decided to move, and the straighted up to his full height and cleared his throught. "Yes, plus flies are extremely annoying." he stated. It was not until a few moments later that he realised to stupidity of what he had just said, but there was no going back. He slumped with embarrassment, and then rubbed his temples. "Sorry," he said, his words muffled by his hands. |

Asha smiled bright and burst into laughter. The man was probably the cutest thing she had seen in the last little while, with his odd sounds and amusing replies. But then it could also be because of her accent, that would put anyone off, and the odd time she did mispronounce her words. It wasn’t her fault English was such an odd language.
”Are there is that too.”Asha replied smiling to the man, who did not seem to look like a threat at all, well just in case she always had a dagger in her boot, just for those emergencies. It seemed that he hard tried to say something intelligent.”No need to apologize sir.” Not at all was it his fault ,maybe it was the fact she looked like a serisan or someone from the holyland, even though she was from India. A lot farther then the holylond.

As the woman laughed, Much joined in awkwardly, not wanting the situation to turn out even more embarrassing. He wasn't quite aware of what she was laughing at, but it was probably something about him.
Much wrinkled his nose as the woman called him sir. The last time he had been called that was...well...never. Unless someone was being sarcastic, or just trying to be annoying. But this woman seemed to genuinely mean it. Much was yet again at a dead end.
"Who are you?" he asked. The words came out sounding ruder than he intended. |

The other man joined in with her laughing, but not a pure as her own, Asha was guessing he didn’t know what she was talking about. It seemed odd to him, or what she could tell that he was being called sir. It was only manners was it not?
The all of a sudden the man who was still nameless decided to blurt out who are you. Asha smiled a bit at the guy, knowing since he said that he was most likely not on the sheriffs side, so she answered him with this.”My name is Raven or Asha depends on who you side with.” Well that was partly the truth.

"Oh." Much said shortly at her responce. Raven or Asha? Now he was even more confused. "Well, I'm on the good side." he said, trying to add a bit more to the conversation. "So, if I'm on the good side, what should I call you? I think they're both nice names though." Much said with a small smile.
"I'm Much by the way." he said. "Just Much. I used to have a proper name, but I can't remember it now." |

”That’s a good thing.” Asha replied to the man with a smile. So he said he wasn’t with the sheriff, though it depends on how you view the good side or the bad side. Whatever he called the good side, it was defiantly not with the sheriff. This guy just didn’t seem the type.
”Well nice to meet you Much, you can call me Asha.” She replied smiling, extending her dark skinned hand towards him. He seemed nice enough, she did have some tricks of her sleeve if he really was lying.
