While Evangeline is having her wounds tended too Djaq manages to escape with the help of Robin Hood and his gang. In the outlaws hide out, in Sherwood forest, Robin sits on a log away from the gang, dejected and ashamed.Little John stands away from him, his back turned andarms folded, but turns to watch over his shoulder as Djaqapproaches Robin. Much, Allan and Will are filling platesby the fire. "Is it true? There would have been peace without this... Gisborne?" Djaq asks, Robin nods slightly, still staring out at the trees. "And yet you gave him up for me?" Robin is silent a moment, then he glances at Djaq and hangshis head. Little John relents a bit and comes over. Muchand Will stand and walk over, each with two plates. Allantakes a bite and follows with his. Little John sits besideRobin, wanting to say something, but still not looking athim. Will hands a plate to Djaq. Much sits at Robin's feetand offers him a plate. "Brought you some food," he says holding out the plate. Robin slowly takes the plate as Will sits at Little John's feetand Allan settles himself on a rock between Robin andMuch. Robin glances at Much, who nods once in encouragement.Robin tears off a piece of chicken and puts it inhis mouth as Little John taps his leg. Robin looks back athim. "Hey," Little John says quietly before, jerking his head a bit to indicate he wants some.Robin hands him a small bite and Little John eats it. Muchlooks at Robin, chewing and a smile forming. Robin takesa bite off the chicken leg, chuckles with Little John, andrealises all is forgiven.
"I saw Evangeline," Djaq says after the long silence. Everyone's head turns to look at her, "when?" Robin asks. "Once in the alchemy room and then in the dungeons... I could hear her. Robin, it was bad." Robin stands up placing his plate to the side, "what do you mean its bad?" Djaq looks down slightly then back up at Robin with sorrow, "the sheriff had the jailer whip her. I could hear her cries and screams. After Guy carried her out and she could hardly keep her eyes open. I saw her back and it was in shreds. Robin, we have to help her." Djaq's voice is loud and strong with the last sentence knowing that it is the right thing to do. "You're right Djaq. And we will."
