Hello again! I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter, and this one as well! The next update should be out soon. If you guys have any particular couples that you want to come into the story, just message me and I'll try to work them in. Ok! That's all for now, and have fun reading :)
I wake up early, hearing the sounds of wings beating. I open my tent flap, and see a rather magnificent looking pegasus coming down, rider and all. As the pegasus gets closer, I can identify who the brunette atop the pegasus is. "Sumia?" I gasp, wondering why she is here. She smiles my way, and approaches me, despite the fact that I was in bedclothes.
"Robin? I didn't expect you to be up right now!" She says smiling. She takes one more step closer to me, falling flat on her face. I cringe and offer a hand.
"Sumia! That looked painful! Are you OK?" I say.
Miriel exits her tent, not too far from mine, and starts to study Sumia. "Tell me, my inept darling, how do you manage to trip over minuscule particles, unseen by the naked eye? I must find out! Come with me, Sumia." Miriel says and leads an embarrassed Sumia by the arm to be 'studied'.
I squeak a little, as people are starting to emerge from their tents, fully dressed, while I'm still in baggy white pants, and a tight, black bodice with a white, long sleeved shirt underneath. I rush back into my tent and quickly change. I throw on my usual gray tank top, black cloak, white pants, and boots. I take my time brushing my hair though, because I always want to look my best, especially when it came to my hair. I stand up, and am pleased with the outcome. I leave my tent and breathe the fresh air.
"Robin... Robin... Leave these imbeciles... You are mine... MINE!" I shriek, stumble over, and press my back against a tree. I start to pant and hold my head, and I can feel a headache coming on.
"They are not your friends. You belong with-"
"Robin?" Says Lissa.
"Hey Lissa!" I say, seeing that her entrance had caused for that voice to leave my head. I fake a small smile, no teeth showing.
"So, Robin! I saw you standing over here, and I figured that-"
"Lissssa! Hi! Wanna play!" Says an energized Nowi. Lissa looks at her to be patient and continues, "So! I was going to ask you if you've seen Gaius' candy, because he keeps checking my tent saying, 'Lissa's always got some... Where is it?' And whenever he sees me, he grumbles and stomps back out. I really think he's losing it. So anyways, since you're our tactician and the smartest person here besides Miriel, I thought I'd ask you." She looks at Nowi and says quickly, "Well, tell me when you find out, bye!"
Hm. When I find out. Even such subtle things can make you feel good. I think to myself as I walk over to the temporary area where we eat, which is really just a bunch of blankets laid out to sit on and eat. There are only a few people left, which includes Stahl, who is always here, Sumia, who is talking to Stahl, and... Chrom. It's strange, because Chrom is normally done pretty quickly. I start to walk to him, and notice that he's definitely thinking.
"Chrom? Chrom! Hey!" I say, waving my hand in front of his face, trying to get his attention. He shakes his head and looks in my direction.
"Oh... Hey Robin. Didn't... See you there." He says.
"Chrom, are you okay? You seem a bit out of it."
"Hey Chrom! I-" Sumia starts, but faceplants, floating in air for a millisecond, and then her legs shoot into the air.
"Erm... Hey Sumia. You okay? Is it your new boots again?"
"Uh... Hehe... Yes, wait no! I mean yes! I mean..." Sumia sighs.
"It's ok. I know it's not your fault." He gives a weak smile and excuses himself.
"Ugh! I feel like he's avoiding me! And I don't know why!" She says and stomps off as well.
As much as I like Sumia, I love Chrom even more. But who does Chrom like? He seems to be avoiding me as well. And I see the way Cordelia looks at him as well. Looks like I' ll have to fight for him. But... I AM his tactician. And we ARE at war. I guess... It'll have to wait. Its almost over, Gangrel WILL fall for what he did to Emmeryn. I hang my head and stare at the ground. I WILL get him though. No matter the cost.
Hello! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and the many more to come! Thanks for reading!
