I'm long past Brightstone, aren't I? said Robin inwardly, frowning as he turned to look behind him. A light snow was beginning to pepper his hair, some landing on his forehead to melt onto his nose and down his jumper. Rob ignored them, more intent on trying to find his way to a familiar landmark. La Grande had only been in New Zealand for a week and though he now knew Brightstone like the back of his hand, Obsidian was uncharted territory. It was a long walk from the village to the town, but somehow he felt that there was bigger game to catch in the larger area. Robin wasn't looking for women; he never was, though they always seemed to find him. In fact, he was simply looking for a good meal that he hadn't already cooked himself (not that he was terrible or suchlike). The difference was that at the circus if you could do anything well then you did it, regardless of whether you wanted to or not. Robin could cook for himself, and therefore cooked for everyone. "I'm going for lunch!" he had announced, and everyone left him be. Lord knew he deserved a break.
Strangely enough, he wasn't planning on performing either. Despite his extended levels of endurance, Robin was utterly buggered by the extensive training leading up to the show in four weeks. If he saw another white ball or swinging trapeze, he'd darn well scream. Luckily, there was a far more interesting sight approaching. It was a womanly figure, and though Robin hadn't seen the girl's face properly, he recognised her gait. "Hey. You. You you you." he said in a mildly surprised voice and a snap of his fingers, sounding nothing at all like the swarthy drawl that he had used as he had tossed the knives. "I know you."
