I am out of depression. I was sad because my pet cat Klaus, has died. I'm still sad but my dad got me a new onne. Her name is Bubbles! She is so adorkabale (Adorable+ Dork). Say Hi Bubbles. Btw, thanks for the shippings guys/gals! I will use 1-2 from each of you or just one. If your shipping isn't on it, sorry! Leave a review if you please and anymore shippings/ideas can go in the comments. Enjoy.
As they leaned into each other, Robin and Lucina released all their built up emotion. All the pain, worry, and sorrow from the previous days flowed through their kiss. Both Shepherds released emotion through their contact that couldn't be expressed through words. However, it eventually turned into joy, passion, and relief as the couple fell onto one of the bedrolls. Slowly drifting into sleep, Robin embraced Lucina, who nudged herself against Robin's chest. Smiling, the pair slumbered in each other's arms, full of much needed happiness.
Waking up, Robin saw light peeking through the canvas of his tent. Robin cursed at himself. He had promised Chrom that he would meet with him earlier than usual. Judging by the amount of light he could see through his tent, he could assume is was some time before noon. As Robin tried to sit up, he was suddenly aware of weight on his chest. Looking down, Robin broke into a soft smile.
Robin's arms were wrapped around Lucina, as her head was on his chest, comfortably snuggling with Robin. Lucina slept at total peace, her face radiating melancholy. Stroking her hair, Robin realized that their sleeping position mirrored the one from when Robin first discovered Lucina's gender. After they were forced to share a bedroll, Robin woke up the next morning in the same position he was currently in with Lucina. Had she perhaps liked him even back then? Did that mean she had liked Robin in her childhood? Robin chuckled at the thought, wondering how exactly he would bring it up the next time he and Lucina talked.
However, if he recalled correctly, he also had to leave her because of an early meeting with Chrom. Back then, he was more than happy to avoid the awkward confrontation of Lucina waking up. Instead, now Robin loathed the thought of leaving their embrace. However, as long as the Mad King Gangrel roamed large in Plegia, there would be no peace. After a couple of minutes, Robin managed to slip out and get dressed without waking up Lucina. Giving her a quick kiss on her forehead, Robin exited their tent walked to the war tent.
During the previous days in the war tent, Robin and Chrom had spent hours developing and refining strategies against Gangrel. From redesigning troop layouts, to reviewing contingency plans; Robin and Chrom worked tirelessly to make sure they could do everything they could to win with the least casualties possible. Every last detail was scrutinized, from tactic books to Robin's current strategies. Every single troop placement was meticulously looked over, from cavalry flanking positions to second line mage and archer positions. Each strategy was played over, scenario after scenario. Needless to say, Chrom and Robin spent most of their time in the tent center of the Shepherd's camp.
Robin walked in to Chrom, who still looked significantly depressed about Emmeryn's death. Next to him was one of Sumia's pies, untouched as Chrom was looking over their battle strategies.
"Chrom are you okay now?" Robin had seen Chrom become very angry depressed about Emmeryn over the last few days.
"I'm fine." Chrom replied. "Sumia talked some sense into me last night. She told me that I shouldn't mope over her death and instead focus on ending the war like she would have wanted. Are you ok Robin?"
"Yeah. Someone else talked some sense into me." Robin responded back. After his conversation with Lucina, Robin had been in peace with Emmeryn's death. In a way, by helping Lucina, Robin also helped himself move on from Emmeryn's death.
Chrom looked over the battle simulation on the board in front of him. "Why do you think we should do a frontal assault on Gangrel's forces instead of a surprise attack? Wouldn't it be easier if we snuck up on them? After all, they wouldn't expect us to recover this quickly from Emm's death. Surely they won't be prepared to be attacked this quickly."
"However," Robin said as he gestured to Gangrel's forces on the simulator, "It looks like most of his forces deserted the army after Emmeryn's death. Only Gangrel's most loyal soldiers, his honor guard, are left. Even so, Gangrel still might have more soldiers that we don't know about. If we launched a surprise attack, we might accidentally bite off more than we can chew. Therefore, it would be wise if we attacked directly, so that we can fully assess how many soldiers they have before we fight."
"Wouldn't this mean that they would be prepared for out attack?" Chrom countered, still looking over the board. "This might cost us more casualties than necessary than if we launch a surprise attack."
Robin had considered a surprise attack in order to catch the remaining Plegian army off guard. However, Robin had also considered the consequences. "If we accidentally attack a force that is much larger than we anticipated, we would be massacred. We still don't have absolute certainty of the size Gangrel's forces. I will not take the risk of sending the Shepherds, or the army, into an absolute massacre."
Chrom only nodded, he trusted Robin with his life. If Robin said that they should take the frontal assault, Chrom completely trusted him. Ever since Robin became the tactician of the Shepherds, Chrom and his comrades won battles that would have not been won previously. And to top it off, no Shepherd had ever died under Robin's command. Besides that, Chrom trusted Robin because Robin was practically his brother. He would not hesitate to lay down his life for Robin, and Chrom knew Robin would do likewise.
"Let's go with the full assault." Chrom replied. "However, I will only do it under one condition."
Robin looked at Chrom smiling face. Knowing all too well what Chrom wanted to do, Robin broke into a grin that matched Chrom's.
"We pair up and strike down Gangrel together."
