Chrom: Where is it!? I know I left it by this chair but I can't find it anywhere.
Huh. It looks like there's some kind of commotion over there.
Anna: That's right people! Step right up for a chance to touch the legendary Falchion! Only three silvers a turn!
Chrom: WHAT THE-!?
Anna: Step right up! This is a once in a life time chance to touch the holy blade of Naga herself.
Hehehe. This is the easiest money I've ever made. It almost isn't fair-
Chrom: Anna!
Anna: Eep!
Chrom: You stole Falchion!? And now you're... Using it as a side show attraction?
Anna: Steal? From you? Never! I just… borrowed it. For an afternoon… or maybe a couple days.
Or maybe a week. Depends on how fast people get bored of it.
Chrom: It's a holy artifact, not an oddity for people to gawk at!
Anna: B-but look at how much joy it's bringing to the town's folk!
Chrom: What?
Anna: Don't you see those happy faces? They've never even see the sword, let alone had a chance to touch it. Would you take that away from them my lord?
Chrom: Well no, but…
Anna: Those little children will be crushed if they don't get their turn. Won't you think of the children Chrom?
Chrom: What will crush them is the price you're asking for.
Anna: It's all going to the army coffers of course.
Minus a small commission fee.
Chrom: How much of a fee?
Anna: Oh… nothing really just *Mumble*
Chrom: What was that?
Anna: … fifty percent?
Chrom: Lower the price to ten coppers, five for children, reimburse those who have already paid and you only get ten percent.
Anna: What!? Nooooooooo way-
Chrom: Anna.
Anna: Oh fine! But I still get to sell the necklace replicas at full price!
Chrom: Necklace… replicas?
Anna: Oh would you look at that. The line's getting long. I better get them moving!
Chrom: Anna! Damn it. Get back here!

Chrom: Anna…
Anna: I already apologized, okay? It isn't my fault the camp heard about the replicas.
Chrom: Robin told me you sold him an entire box of them!
Anna: What!? Lying little- I mean. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Chrom: Stop selling them.
Anna: But don't you want to bring joy to people?
Chrom: Firstly, you're doing this for profit. We both know that. Secondly the only joy it's bringing them is using them to prank me.
Anna: Okay, fair enough on the first one, but I'm sure you're exaggerating the second one.
Chrom: Frederick tied one to Falchion's hilt.
Anna: That is the too bad.
Chrom: Robin and Vaike dumped a box of them on my head as a walked out my tent.
Anna: Haha. That one's actually pretty funny.
Chrom: And then Lissa literally hung hundreds of them outside and inside my tent. I even found a few in my breakfast.
Anna: …
Chrom: …
…Well?
Anna: I don't see how any of that is my fault.
Chrom: You're the one selling them by the crate!
Anna: Am I? I hadn't noticed.
Chrom: Anna!
Anna: Oh, would you look at the time. I have to meet a buyer. Toodles!
Chrom: Get back here!

Anna: Hi Chrom.
Chrom: Do you need something Anna?
Anna: Hm? Oh, no. I just wanted to let you know that I stopped selling the necklaces… aaaaaaaaand that I'm…
…*sigh* And that's I'm sorry.
Chrom: What? You're really going to stop?
Anna: Yeah…
Chrom: Why? Did people stop buying?
Anna: No actually. I had fifty people lined up for them this morning.
I just realized I was causing you more problems than it was worth.
Chrom: …I don't know what to say. What brought this on?
Anna: Nothing in particular. I just realized you looked stressed over the whole thing.
Chrom: I'm surprised you noticed passed the glimmering of all that coin.
Anna: I'm a capatalist, not heartless!
Chrom: Haha. Peace Anna. Thank you for making that sacrifice. I'm sure you passed up quite the payday.
Anna: That's an understatement! Necklaces with a little figurine of the Prince of Ylisse dangling from it? I could have bought your castle if I kept going!
Chrom: Gods! How much were you selling those for?
Anna: Don't ask. I can hear the klinking of coin pouches that could have been.
Chrom: I've been wondering actually, what compelled you to sell neckaces with me attached to them?
Anna: Are you serious? You're brave, kind, generous and handsome to boot!
Chrom: Wait. Handsome?
Anna: The people LOVE you! I could sell locks of your hair for five gold pieces no problem.
Chrom: Please tell me you haven't actually done that.
Anna: …Suuuuuure.
Chrom: Anyway. It's a shame you stopped selling them.
Anna: What?
Chrom: They were starting to grow on me. I was actually going to buy one myself tomorrow.
Anna: …
I repeat. WHAT!?
Chrom: Is there something wrong with that?
Anna: Here I am being altruistic and considerate for once and you're telling me that I wasted my time when I could have been making money?
Chrom: I wouldn't say wasted. I got to see a different side to you today, and I appreciate you considering my feelings.
Anna: Ugh. Don't tell anyone about that. I have a reputation to keep.
Chrom: Heh. Of course.
I also have a bit of an idea for you.
Anna: Oh, do you now?
Chrom: How about you do necklaces with the rest of the shepherds? You could make a complete collection.
Anna: …
Chrom: Anna? Are you okay? Hello?
Anna: So…. So much… SO MUCH MONEY!
Chrom: Anna! Slow down! Gods, she's running paster than a horse.

Chrom: Evening Anna. How was today's haul?
Anna: Hm? Oh. Pretty good. Robin's necklace is really shooting up in popularity.
Chrom: I noticed. A lot of the village children were running around with it on.
Anna: Yeah. Your's is still the best seller though.
Chrom: Is there something wrong with that?
Anna: No.
Chrom: Hey Anna.
Anna: Yes?
Chrom: Why did you start selling those necklaces?
Anna: Uh… because they were profitable?
Chrom: I've talked to you enough to know when you're lying.
Anna: Ugh. Fine…
Chrom: Anna-
Anna: I love you and I was using the necklace as a way to get your attention, okay?
Chrom: Huh!?
Anna: You heard me. That's the whole reason I didn't think about making a collection with the rest of the shepherds.
Chrom: Anna. I don't know what to say.
Anna: You don't have to say anything. I know it's stupid. So just forget I said anything.
Chrom: I… don't think I can.
Anna: Well that's horrifying… Excuse me.
Chrom: Wait! What I meant to say was… I can't forget it because I love you too.
Anna: Oh… Oh my!
Chrom: Anna, will you accept this ring?
Anna: Hehe…hehe… that's, that's the… oh Gods that the Royal signet ring! I can't take that, it's worth thousands of gold pieces!
Chrom: It's worth more than that to me. My parents had it made the day I was born so that I could give it to the woman I wanted to marry.
Anna: Chrom I- We both know I'm not exactly royal material. I don't think you really thought this through.
Chrom: I don't need to. Last time we spoke you said you stopped selling the necklaces for my benefit. Because you saw how it was causing me stress.
Anna: Well yeah…
Chrom: You might have only thought of it because you love me, but I know you can be as considerate for the villagers of the Halidom. I know you'd make a great queen.
Anna: I don't know…
Chrom: Please take the ring. You can rule beside me as my merchant queen. What do you say?
Anna: Merchant queen, huh?
Chrom: Anna?
Anna: …I say we could make a killing off of wedding memorabilia.
Chrom: Uh. Is that a yes?
Anna: A thousand times, hun! By the time we're done our children won't know what to do with all the money we leave behind!
Chrom: Thank you Anna. I promise I'll make you the happiest woman alive.
Anna: Already done handsome!
Thanks for reading. Next up will probably be Lon'qu in a couple days.
