Conspiracy Theory Time!!

[railise]

There are many aspects to S3 that have left fans scratching their heads. And now, I'm putting it to all of you to help explain two Robin-related mysteries-- one disappearance, and one appearance:

What happened to his (gorgeous, awesome) Saracen sword?
and
What's the story behind his tattoo?

I have my own theories worked out, but I'm going to wait to share them, since I want to see what you all think! :)

A couple of images to jog your memory/imagination (a.k.a. "Railise always welcomes an excuse to screencap Robs" lol):

~~~

ETA: I'm looking for explanations that could fit into the show-- while I assume (with no actual knowledge) that something happened to the sword between S2/3 which prevented its use in S3, I'm looking for stories. Rational, wild; short, detailed-- hit me with it. :D

I'll check that now since I just checked about the last time we saw it, and he doesn't leave King Richard with it on his person. he has a dagger, his bow and his arrows, but no saracen sword.

Yup he has it when fighting on Richard's behalf.

Well, then it seems your theory is entirely plausible. I really like it and seems like something Robs would do.

Not that roh_wyn's theory isn't plausible, but yours is so much more romantic. ;)

It's the shipper in me that loves that idea:P
