AN: Isn't it funny how there are characters in Fire Emblem Fates that appear much younger than they actually are? This story has some parody elements that revolve around that aspect but fans of the series will not be disappointed. Thanks to akairot for the picture!

Corrin had asked Sakura to help Rinkah to take care of Kana, his child, several times, getting an ambiguous response each time. Sakura did not want to spend her evening taking care of a child, and more than that, having to face the tribal fiend, Rinkah, but he was beginning to wear her down.

"I just really think this would be a good experience for you", said Corrin.

"I-I'm sure Reekah is doing a really good job of taking care of your daughter. You don't need m-me," said Sakura.

He paused for a moment and paced the room like he was thinking about whether or not this was a good idea, yet he still stuck his hand on her shoulder and said, "Won't you please do this for me?"

Sakura's head shook for a moment like someone had rung a large bell next to her ear. "O-Okay," she said at last, "b-but you better g-get me more of those sweet dumplings later". She blushed furiously afterward, but she did not care. It was worth it.

Sakura knocked lightly on the door. To her surprise, the door moved inward, it was already open, and on the bristly carpet was a child, supine, with eyes like saucers and glowing hair. It was Kana, alone and quiet, laying under a tentlike stucture made entirely of cushions.

"H-Hello," said Sakura, appearing one eye at a time.

Kana motioned for her to come in and Sakura obliged. She took her time sitting down next to Corrin's child, on her knees with her silky white dress protecting her from scrapes.

"C-Can I come into your fort?" asked Sakura.

"No," said Kana.

Sakura's heart quickened for a moment, forgetting that even the rejection of a kid can be detrimental to her health.

"P-please?" asked Sakura.

"Only dragons can come in", said Kana.

Her heart calmed down because Kana was a child after all, simply wanting Sakura to play along with the "Dragon's Den" scenario she made up, probably based on one of her father's stories.

"I-I'm a dragon," said Sakura, then managing a meager roar before choking, "Now can I come in?".

Taking Kana's long bout of silence as a keynote, Sakura crawled on all fours to join the mongoose-like child only to double backward after hitting what felt like a truck. Her legs were open wide but her eyes were even wider; Sakura let out a piercing scream as she looked upon a real dragon where the little girl once resided.

The dragon matched her scream with one of its own. Sakura's tender cheeks vibrated in response and her ribbon that kept her hair tidy flew off in the wave of draconic spittle.

"KAANA!" roared Rinkah. Her voice was even louder and more fierce than the dragon which changed back into a nominally-sized girl with hair tied into a single bun in an instant.

Then, without saying a word, Kana sprinted off to another room, nearly knocking over an expensive looking vase.

Sakura, who was both scared and impressed by the decibel to which Rinkah could raise her voice waited for Rinkah to address her.

"So, Corrin sent me another brat," said Rinkah, "He better keep his end of the deal or he's toast". She pointed at Sakura and said, "time to eat, come on ".

Rinkah's gesture confused Sakura so she briefly searched the room for this new "brat" that Rinkah was addressing. Since there was none to be found she decided that the new guest was one that can make themselves invisible, so she waved her hands about.

Suddenly she was grabbed by the wrist and pulled forcibly to the kitchen area, tears welling in her eyes.
