Day #4 – On a date


Their first date had been an awkward occasion, for certain. While their relationship had existed for some time, they'd only discussed it with Chrom a single month ago, and Robin had only been freed from the healer's tent two weeks after that, once it was determined that yes, all the bones were fixed, and no, Lucina or Chrom weren't going to kill you anymore. Surprisingly, Sumia was rather happy with the arrangement, for reasons that at the time Cynthia hadn't managed to understand.

Sitting in the restaurant, Sumia looming one table over, had certainly managed to drive the point home. Sumia was perfectly okay with the relationship, as long as she ensured that everything went…well, perfectly was a stretch. More like some idealized mash of her romance novels and what she believed was best for her little girl.

It had certainly put a dampener on the evening, or at least Cynthia had been convinced it would. Instead, Robin had winked, mouthed 'no problem', and she received a front-row seat to genius at work. Waiters called at opportune times, calling attention to new arrivals or departures in the restaurant, a dozen small actions that gave them brief moments to actually share, quick kisses or bites off of each other's forks stolen whenever Robin managed to rustle up a distraction. At the end of the night, Sumia had expressed her disappointment but relief that they hadn't tried anything, and allowed them to spend the last few moments together.

"How did you do that?!" Cynthia burst into giggles as soon as she was gone. Robin winked and brushed a goodnight kiss against her lips, grinning.

"Strategy. I'll see you tomorrow, princess." The pegasus rider's eyes flashed with a playful hunger.

"Well, she'll probably trust us more now." She grinned. The second date would doubtlessly be much more eventful.
