Robin looked at his lists, rummaging through to find who wanted to be with Tharja, he figured he should do the hard one first. What he found surprised him. Not one, but two people were willing. He didn't think there would be one, let alone two. Well, he supposed he shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Later...
Tharja frowned, she had been told to meet Robin at the pub he usually met Chrom at. She heard footsteps, causing her to quickly turn around, only to find Chrom. She scowled, she was supposed to meet with Robin alone.
"Oh, hello, Tharja," Chrom smiled at her.
"Why are you here?" Tharja bluntly said, skipping any pleasantries.
"I'm here to meet Robin," Chrom said, frowning, "why?"
Tharja pursed her lips into a thin line, "That's what I was here for."
Chrom furrowed his brows, "He told me he wanted to talk to me. Alone."
"Hmph, that was what he said to me."
"I doubt he would-" Chrom was cut off by Olivia running up to them.
"I-I'm sorry, Robin, I-" she opened her eyes, "oh, I'm sorry, I thought Robin was-"
Tharja cut her off, "Meeting you here?"
"Y-yeah, how did you know?"
"That's what he told us," Chrom explained.
"Oh, um, what should we do?" Olivia asked.
Chrom and Tharja frowned, they were left in an awkward situation, none knowing what to do.
"You should leave. I'm sure Robin only meant for me to come," Tharja said.
"No, Robin always came here with me after major battles," Chrom rebutted, wanting to defend his title of Robin's best friend.
Tharja glared daggers at him, "Why only you? The rest of us work just as hard."
"Because he actually likes me," Chrom replied, before realizing what he had said, "I'm sorry, I didn't-"
"Of course you did," Tharja said, her knuckles turning white from squeezing her spell book.
"Really, I didn't," Chrom said.
"Spare me your pity," Tharja spit the words out.
Olivia glanced between the two, seeing the argument wasn't going to improve, "Uh, um, I don't-" she tried to interject, only for both to glare at her. She looked around, hoping for something to save her, realizing she was on her own.
"Look at that, you upset her," Tharja shot.
"Me? What do you mean, me?" Chrom shot back.
"Please stop fighting!" Olivia yelled, blushing after she realized her outburst. Both of them looked at her, signalling her to continue, "I think Robin, um, delibrately did this," she said, "because of those lists." Both of them stared, thinking it over. "Sorry," Olivia muttered.
"No, no, I think you're right," Chrom replied.
"Really? I didn't choose either of you. Obviously, Robin is the only one for me," Tharja said, a creppy grin on her face.
Olivia sighed, so much for that sliver of hope.
"I did," Chrom deadpanned.
"Are you serious? You think arguing well make me like you?" Tharja rolled her eyes, men.
"I did, too," Olivia muttered, "I-I like you, Tharja."
This statement shocked both of them, "What do you mean?" Tharja said.
"I-I meant what I said," Olivia was beet red after the statement.
"Really, Olivia?" Chrom muttered, dejected.
"Yes," Olivia said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time," she muttured, turning to leave. Tharja stopped her before she could leave.
"I wouldn't mind that much," Tharja muttered, "just don't make me do something so. . . embarrassing."
Olivia smiled, "Yes! Let's go eat!" she stopped, "if you wouldn't mind."
"No, I am getting hungry," Tharja glanced at Chrom, "I suppose you could come along."
Chrom blyshed slightly, "No, I wouldn't want to get in your way. I'm sure you'll have fun together."
Olivia grabbed his hand, "But it doesn't seem right without you. Please, join us."
"If it's alright with Tharja, I'll take up that offer."
Tharja rolled her eyes, "I already said it was fine, now come along, you're testing my patience."
Olivia's smile widened, she took Tharja's hand and they went into the pub.
