OTP Meme 7: Cosplaying.


"Uh… Robin?"

"What's up Stahl?" Robin beamed as she shut the army roster that she always kept nearby (especially after that incident in the outrealm.)

"Is this really what a Swordmaster wears?" Stahl shifted from foot to foot, uncomfortable in his new gear. While he was certain learning what Robin called 'Astra' would be quite helpful in battle, he was certain there was something more sinister going on at that moment.

She set her book down on the table and approached him. Stahl shivered when he felt a strange… aura emitting from her (he swore he saw a black mist around her.) Oh gods… was she still angry at him for getting Morgan stuck in a tree?! Robin could be quite sadistic when angry, from what he heard from Frederick's bear meat incident, not to mention that she was very protective of her son. He was left frozen with fear at the thought of the horrors she would unleash upon Stahl, mouth unwilling to speak as Robin straightened his clothing, trying to hide a very obvious smirk on her face. "Oh yes."

He felt a breeze pass through and shivered before lowering his oversized green tunic slightly. He generally confused at this gear. From what he'd seen of Lon'qu (and enemy Swordmasters, although their gear was slightly different), this was nothing like what they wore. "But Lon'qu-"

"Lon'qu would have kicked my arse if I told him to wear proper gear if it looked like this," she pointed out, and Stahl couldn't help but agree. That ex-Swordmaster (he was now an assassin to learn 'Lethality') would have his way if he didn't like it, especially when women were involved. Even if he wasn't the best in the fighting rings, he was certainly the best at winning arguments (it was no wonder Basilio wanted him to become the next West-Kahn.)

"But why tights?"

"Just stop complaining! I need you to learn Astra and gain a tad bit more Res.!" there Robin went again, muttering off nonsense about stats and abilities. The only other person who could understand her was her son, Morgan. Stahl had a vague suspicion that it was code for something very important, and it made him sad to be left out of such a thing.

Regardless, he sighed and left the tent, green hat bouncing and another set of eyes burning into his back with every step he took.

Later…

"Stahl? What happened to you?" Sully groaned. She obviously had enough with Stahl wearing clothing that looked ridiculous on him for an entire lifetime.

"I became a Swordmaster!" he tried to do an epic pose but instead began to felt quite ridiculous as another breeze passed. He lowered his shirt once more and adjusted his hat "What do you think?"

Sully approached him, pair of pants in her fair hands. She threw it at him, expecting him to put the pants on. "I think you were pranked," she said after a few moments of watching him stare in confusion between her and the pants.

His jaw dropped. "W-what?"

"That is not Swordmaster gear. You're dressed as the man from the tales of Zelda, more widely known as Link," she was obviously fighting the urge to laugh at his gullible nature.

"What does a Swordmaster wear?"

"Exactly what Lon'qu is wearing right now," Sully shook her head at her future husband, unwilling to believe that he had fell for something so simple. "I can't believe you fell for such a trick!"

For the first time since his brother spilled a potion and blamed it on him, Stahl felt his blood come to a boil. "Robin…"


"Won't Stahl or Sully come after you mother?" Morgan asked as he scanned the chess board, obviously trying to predict his genius mother's next move. They were tied at this point, although Robin appeared to have a slight upper hand.

"Probably…" she concluded as she moved another pawn forward, making Morgan sigh with frustration. "But nobody messes with my son."

Morgan shivered as his mother's eyes glowed red. Gods she could be scary when angry!


A/N: Another chapter, another sigh.

Robin acts like I would when I see one of my units get swarmed.

Yes, Stahl was cosplaying as Link. Deal with it…

Oh, and I normally ship my avatar with Stahl (I just don't like writing OCs because, usually, they are what turns people away from a story.) I ship Chrom with Sully, although I plan on shipping him in the game with Olivia.
