Author's Notes: Aw. I love Much. And I was disappointed that we
never got to see a proper apology scene from Robin after the
season finale. Much deserved one!  So here it is. For my
favorite servant.  god forbid  for Kate  feel better.  "I am a
lousy, ungrateful friend."  Much dug his heel into the dirt,
enjoying the padded brown sparks that caught the wind. He didn't
turn around at the voice, nor did he move as his master sunk
into a seated position beside him. Neither man spoke for a
minute.  Robin sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I did
not mean what I said this morning," he said quietly. "I would
not have survived in Jerusalem if it weren't for you."  The
servant stiffened. "I'm sure you could have found some other
scratch to push you out of arrow's way," he snapped, careful not
to add words like expendable or stupid in case Robin agrees that
he is both.  "I don't just mean physically, Much," his master
said gently. "Although undoubtedly that is true. I mean . . ."
he trailed off, tone frustrated.
