This place was one of the many places he hadn't visited since he had come back to the park. It was a very interesting place, but that was not the only reason he was here. There was a certain female archer he had heard about. He smiled and waited for the woman to show up so that he could meet her.
"I can't believe there is another as talented as I am. Oh De Laly, this is going to be a great day"
He soon found a shady place to sit under. He watched the area closely as he awaited what he thought was his female counterpart.

Susan was starting to feel that she was neglecting her archery. After all, someone could only go so long without practice! But she had heard that there was a fox as good an archer as she. What a good time it would be to meet the fox.
Straightening her quiver, Susan arrived by one of the places she considered a good spot to practice and perhaps meet him.
Her eyes landed on the fox sitting in the shade. One eyebrow shot up. That was quite sooner than she had thought. Walking over to him, she nodded politely.
"Hello. I am Susan, Susan Pevensie. Would you happen to be an archer, sir?"

Looking up at the girl who was approaching him Robin smiled and nodded to her. It was great that it didn't take long for her to show up. He stood up to give her a proper greeting. He politely bowed to her and spoke in a friendly manner.
"It is my honor to meet you Susan, my name is Robin Hood, and some might say I am a great archer. I've heard some good things about you. By your response I would say that either you are really used to the place or you have met a lot of people like me already."

"I have heard great things about you, Robin Hood. I am only slightly used to this place, though," Susan replied, curtsying gently. Her smile was genuine. She laughed a bit. Was word already spreading about her and archery? Could it be Peter or Lucy or Edmund? She hadn't seen or heard from anyone but Edmund...and he didn't seem the type to go bragging about his sister.
"Through whom have you heard about me, Robin Hood?"

Robin pretended to be in thought for a few moments at her question. Even though he never met her directly, he had met someone that knew her.
"Well, I shortly met a certain lion who had a lot of good things to say about you. He didn't give me your description, but he did say you have fought in quite a few battles. He also said your archery was most likely a match for mine. You must have quite the fan following."

Aslan. The great lion was certainly an option she hadn't considered. "Fan following? Oh gracious, no! Aslan, the lion, is very much the reason why I'm such a good archer." Well, partially, the other part was Father Christmas's gifts to her.
"I came here for a little practice, as a matter of fact. Would you care to join me?" Susan asked.

"That's surprising, I would have thought i girl of your looks and talent would have quite a few male admirers."
The thought of practicing his marksmanship hadn't occurred to him in a long time. He usually was either on an adventure, or something else that would take up most of his time. He smiled at the chance to test his own skills against hers.
"I was hoping you might ask. I can't wait to see what you can do."

Susan blushed, ducking her head to hide her blushing face. She was easily flattered. "I only have one admirer, sir," she admitted with a small laugh. Truthfully, she knew that she was the one admiring her 'admirer' as far as she could. She hadn't seen Caspian in ages. Not since she'd fallen and he'd helped her up. Her school friends had noticed that Susan was lovesick when she returned from holiday and insisted she find another man.
Boy, did she need to follow that advice!
Susan took up her bow and pulled an arrow from her quiver.
"The feeling is mutual, I'm very eager to see what you're capable of."

(Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, i had a lot of things going on all of a sudden, I do hope we can continue)
"Only one?" Robin said with a confused look. Where she was from had to be quite a strange place for her not to have more admirers, but then again maybe it was him who was the strange one.
"Good thing, this place had a lot of targets to practice on and show off if you want." He smiled as he motioned for her to take the lead and go first, always a gentleman, Robin was just as friendly as ever.
