"Excuse me?" I ask.

"We are gonna ole' boy here talk to Olivia," Henry said.

"Um Ricken, I appreciate coming to me for help and all, but isn't this something you should do on your own?" I say.

"Have you seen her Robin!? I-I'm not asking you to talk to her for me or anything; I'm more mature than that. I'm just looking for some guidance," Ricken explains.

"With all due respect Ricken, going to Gaius for guidance is really scratching the bottom of the barrel," I try to say in the kindest way possible.

"I know, but I'm low on options, and I don't really trust to many people knowing this, plus you know how many people like her," Ricken says.

"Yeah, it's a mystery how she's always been single," The ever so sensitive Henry says.

"Well if you are gonna insist Ricken, I suppose I'll see what I can do to help," I reply.

"T-Thanks Robin, and I'm sorry for dragging you into my problems," Ricken apologizes.

"It's no issue, we're friends right? Plus it is kind of Gaius' fault I know about this anyway, speaking of which, I guess we can start with what he told you," I suggest.

"It's nothing to substantial, just about all the people who have been trying to date her really, he said multiple people claimed she was interested in them, but according to her, she doesn't like anyone," Ricken explains.

"Oh that Gaius, how does he do it?" Henry said.

"Right…well then Ricken nobody has her heart yet, that means you still have a chance," I try to assure him.

"Yeah, but have you seen the guys she's turned down, the highest caliber of the school, captains of the sports teams, plus some of the smoothest guys here, she even turned down Virion!" Ricken said.

"Little word from someone who knows him well, everyone turns down Virion," I said.

"Really?" Ricken looked as if I told him the planet was round for the first time, "Either way how am I supposed to compare to any of those guys, I'm just a bookworm.

"Hey now, don't talk bad about bookworms Ricken, just for that, I'm gonna make it my mission to get you on a date with Olivia!" I am now more determined than ever, bookworms are people too!

"And you can count on me Ricken! Bookworms gotta stick together!" Henry happily interjects.

"Alright so first things first, Ricken have you actually tried talking to Olivia before, that's the first step," I said.

"Only about 4 times, but each time it was real minor, plus she didn't seem the most eager to talk, she was kind of shying away, that certainly didn't help my confidence much, but from what I've been told she's like that with most people," Ricken explains.

"Well if she's like that with everyone, do you think she might just be shy?" I suggest.

"Olivia? Shy? Come now President you're smarter than that, isn't she a dancer? There's no way a dancer would be shy," Henry says.

"Is she? I didn't know that, but if it's true than that eliminates the shy option," I say, trying to come up with something. "Well where is she now?"

The three of us, who still are talking outside the cafeteria and have yet to go inside like madmen, look through the cafeteria's door-window to peep through and attempt to see Olivia.

"Bah! I can hardly see anyone," Henry said.

"Well maybe if you'd move your head!"

"Guys? None of us have ate, why don't we just go in?" Ricken suggests.

Henry and I just look at each other, not my brightest moment. So the three of us finally walk in and go to get something to eat.

"Ricken this may not sound like the easiest option, but you just gotta talk to her, if you can get a few conversations going, you two can try to develop a friendship and see what happens from there," I recommend.

"B-But what do I talk about?" Ricken asks.

"Could be anything, whatever keeps the conversation going, that way you two can become comfortable being around one another, since she seems to not be big on talking to people, this may not be the easiest task, but it's worth a shot if you like her that much," I continue giving Ricken the best advice I can muster, not that I've acted it out before to see if it works, but it sounds like it makes sense.

"Ask about her, but don't make it all about her, that'll seem creepy, make it seem like you want to get to know her, not study her," Henry gives some very oddly unexpected sound advice. Ricken and I both look at him with surprised bug eyes.

"Well, yeah do exactly that Ricken," I say.

Once we each get our food we scan the Cafeteria, eventually spotting Olivia sitting all alone for some reason.

"Look Ricken you have the perfect opportunity, she's by herself," I say.

"I don't know, what if she's waiting for someone?" Ricken said.

"Ricken if you want to date her you're gonna have to talk to her eventually, and now is as perfect a time as any so what are you gonna do?" I try to be stern with him.

"F-Fine, wish me luck," Ricken says before beginning the heroic stride toward Olivia's table.

"I'm gonna sit over there and keep watch, how about you?" Henry asks.

"Umm I'm gonna go eat with my usual group, let me know how things go," I say.

"Roger that Mister President," Henry says as I roll my eyes.

As I walk towards the group I notice that Tharja is nowhere to be found. When we scanned the area looking for Olivia I couldn't see Tharja anywhere, there's no way she could still be in the library could she? I guess the real question is whether or not she'll catch me on my walk home, Book Club is only Mondays and Fridays so I'll have Chrom with me this time. I don't have any more classes with her after lunch, so I'll just have to wait and see.

"Where have you been all lunch?" Lissa asked.

"I had to use the restroom, then I ran into Henry and Ricken, I needed to help them with some lady issues," I say, coughing a bit harshly into my napkin.

"My you've been sick for a while, shouldn't you go have a check up or something?" Sumia suggests.

"It's just a cough Sumia, I'll live," I say.

"So what's this about lady problems?" Vaike quickly interjects.

"Vaike, didn't we just have a conversation about talking about other people's business?" A displeased Frederick says.

"Oh come on, Robin brought it up," Vaike tries to defend himself.

"Don't throw me into this!" I utter.

"Seriously Vaike, these are the exact reasons why women aren't attracted to you," Maribelle says.

"Untrue! The ladies love the Vaike, they just don't know it yet," Vaike explains.

"I bet they just swoon at the very fact that you often speak in third person," Chrom mutters, getting a laugh out of most of us.

"Why you!" Vaike quickly calms down, defeated by Chrom once again.

"Umm guys, if you'd just listen for once," Lissa said as she gets all our attention, spotting Ricken talking with Olivia. I assume that if they are still talking they must have hit it off to some degree; however they are too far to read facial expressions.

"He's interested in Olivia?! Oh the courage! I applaud him for attempting such a task," Virion says as I wonder who invited Virion to hang out with us.
