Fatherly Instincts

Chrom: Hey Robin got a minute?

Robin: Sure Chrom, I can spare a minute what wrong?

Chrom: I think…my worst fears have come true.

Robin: You can't possibly mea-

Chrom: My daughter has a boyfriend!

Robin: I was going to say Gangrel rising from the grave but this could also count as a crisis.

Chrom: I just don't understand; how could this have happened.

Robin: Well, Lucina isn't a child anymore s-

Chrom: Wait. What made you think I was talking about Lucina?

Robin: Um, Cynthia and Yarne haven't been subtle so I just assumed-

Chrom: Wait…you knew?!

Robin: Umm…

Chrom: I see…not only did my own daughter not trust me but also my best tactician and friend!

Robin: She was probably just scared for Yarne's sake I mean when it comes to your daughters you kind of get over protective.

Chrom: I do not!

Robin: Really? Remember what happened when you saw that young man talking to Lucina and just assumed he was asking her for hand.

Chrom: He was tying his shoes so it looked like he was proposing and if I recall you were also worried about her.

Robin: Okay, I'll admit my reaction didn't help but pointing Falchion at him and swearing to all the gods that his body will never be found was a tad extreme.

Chrom: …

Robin: …

Chrom: You're right they're not children but at the same time I can't ignore these instincts I have.

Robin: It's only natural that as a father you want what best for them and want to protect them but you need to give them space to make their own choices.

Chrom: Thanks for the talk I can always turn to you when a crisis arises.

Robin: I wouldn't be a good friend if I couldn't solve the occasional family crisis.

Chrom: Great! I'll see you at the dining hall then.

Robin: See you there. (Oh gods, how the hell am I going to tell him about me and Lucina?!)
