He smiled a little when she stopped like that, turning to instruct him. Clearly this was one who knew her mind and would make sure he knew his. And she was right, and he told her so. "Herne would agree with you, my lady. As for Robert, he did not share Herne's tutelage, nor did I see him in the Great Forest; therefore I do not think he could do what I do." Robin looked at her, searching her face. "Would you hear of my training, then? Of my life, what there was of it?"
When she took his hands again, warmth spread through him, for she sought the touch, and Robin began to think that it must be a sign of affection. He gave her a quizzical smile. "As you wish it, Renata, though I cannot quite see why. I mean it only as a sign of respect. In my world, to address a woman without that honorific is to label her as lacking honor, unless she be family." He shook his head. "I, too, am here to work, and I understand not wanting to be... different. You are not the first to ask me this, and as long as it is truly your wish I shall comply. Though you must forgive me if I slip occasionally," Robin added, with a slight laugh.
