Anna was lying down on her bed on the ground floor of the inn, gazing up intently at the ceiling. Was she wrong for lying to Robin? She kept thinking about it, over and over, that same question echoing in her mind. She always traveled alone, so these emotions towards another person were foreign to her. Was it right to ruin one person's love for your own? Deciding that she would not be able to find the answer tonight, she put her head down and drifted away into slumber.

Not even a minute later, the door swung open with a crash. Robin stood there, his eyes holding an icy glare.

"Anna, is there something you're not telling me?"

Anna faked a laugh, "Only that I'm fine with pre-marriage sex."

In her years as a merchant, she had become an incredible bluffer. Her fake laugh seemed even more genuine than her real one, and by mentioning sex, she hoped that Robin would forget what ever he was upset about.

Unfortunately for her, he was not so easily fooled. "You'll never guess who I ran into while working the stall."

Anna started to worry. If this is going where she thought it was going... "Who?"

"Priam."

Silence flooded the room. Robin's glare went from icy to Arctic, "I'll ask you again. Anna, is there something you're not telling me?"

Anna sat there silently. For all of her skill with words, she could not find any to match what was happening. Robin continued to worsen her feelings, "Because I believe you're hiding the death of a good friend of mine. Perhaps because it may persuade me to return to a lover who is not you?"

Anna started to cry at her actions, but Robin continued, "Despite knowing it was wrong, despite knowing how stupid you were, you still did it despite that? Is it worth it, Anna? For being one of the greatest merchants alive, you sure are an idiot!"

Anna continued to sob, almost uncontrollably at this point. She thought he was going to leave her there, alone, until she felt his warm arms wrap around her.

"But I can tell you feel bad for doing what you did. And if there was one thing I can't do, it's torture a woman who's already suffering."

She looked up to him, "So you-"

"Forgive you? No. I may not show it, but I'm furious. Right now, you don't deserve love and affection. But I think right now is when you need it the most."

Anna's tears went from painful to joyous, "Robin..."

He looked up at the ceiling, "Fate really has put me in a bind here. Forced between my wife and a woman who I've just realized I loved. Anna... Are you done crying?"

"Yes... I'm sorry. For lying to you, for forcing you to make this decision..."

He shook his head, "Don't be. It's not your- Well, the first part was, but the second part was not your fault. I just... Need some time to think."

She nodded. He left her arms and walked outside, only to see Priam standing there. His arms were crossed, and a slight smile was on his face.

"Robin, walk with me for a moment."

They walked outside into the town, and Priam smirked, "Tell me, Robin. What do you know of Magvelian lore? Specifically during the year 766."

Robin sighed, "That was the time when the legendary twins Eirika and Ephraim defeated the Demon King and stopped the undead from filling the land."

Priam nodded, "Very good. Do you happen to remember any of the companions that fought alongside them?"

Robin sighed, "Let's see... There was prince Innes, the desert tiger Gerik, the sliver knight Seth, the temptest king Joshua..."

Priam cut him off, "Stop right there. What do you know about the temptest king Joshua?"

Robin scratched his head, "Only that he was very laid back and easy going. I've also heard that it was either him or the crimson flash Marisa that wielded the legendary blade Aulhumla."

Priam shook his head, "It was actually Gerik, but that is irrevvelent. Do you know how Joshua came to fight for Renias?"

Robin shook his head. Priam continued, "Joshua was hired by Grado to find and kill a young woman who fled to Eirika for help. When he later found her, do you know what he did?"

Robin shook his head again, and Priam laughed, "Joshua asked her to choose a side of a coin, with her life at stake."

"He put all that risk into a coin?"

Priam nodded, "Indeed he did. And he lost his wager, and was forced to side with Renias. Later on, he fell in love with that same woman. Do you know how he wound up her husband? Never mind, you clearly don't. He made a bet on her happiness. And won. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Robin shook his head, "Gambling is fun?"

Priam laughed, "Not quite. What I'm trying to say is, sometimes you can't make a rational decision. A warrior can plan all he wants, but sometimes fate can ruin all his planning. There are times when you need to throw caution to the wind, and let the wind of chance blow through."

Priam reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin. He gave it to Robin, "What you do with this coin is your own concern."

He walked off, leaving Robin alone. Was it right to leave all this up to fate? Could he really find no other way? He loved both women, and he realized he couldn't make up his mind either way. Deciding to heed Priam's advice, he sighed and was ready to flip it.

Heads, he returned to Cordelia. He would hold her, and tell her he'd never leave again. He would stay by Chrom's side as his tactician yet again, with Cordelia beside him.

Tails, he stayed with Anna. He would travel the world with her, meeting new people and seeing all this world had to offer.

With a deep breath, he let the coin fly.
