The Shepherds, Philia's Knights, and the Khans escaped on the route that Basilio had set up in advance in the events that they would fail to rescue Emmeryn and needed to make a quick escape. Or in the events that Emmeryn was rescued and they were about to harmed by large numbers of Plegian warriors, they would fight the army off and protect the Exalt with their lives.
"Quickly now! The carriages that I had set up is waiting for us just through those ravines!" Basilio shouted through the rain as he paced himself and his breathing to make sure he didn't collapse to the ground.
"Just hold on a bit longer Emmeryn!" Chrom shouted to his sister who was now on Philia's mount. "We will get you to safety soon, just hold on a bit longer!" He shouted.
"Do not worry for me Chrom, worry for yourself right now!" Emmeryn remarked in worry for her brother seeing as he hadn't slowed down at all during their run away from the Plegians.
"Come now, just a bit longer and we're-" Basilio muttered to himself before he paused and saw what was in front of them. "Plegian forces waiting in ambush for us, damn it!" He cursed.
"Ylisseans!" The man at the front and looked to be more heavily armed than any other Plegian soldiers there. "I am General Mustafa of the Plegian Army, I offer you mercy here! Surrender your arms and live!" Mustafa shouted to them.
"Surrender?" Basilio said mockingly. "I'm sorry I'm afraid I am not very familiar with that word, thank you very much."
"Please! I do not want for any more lives to be lost. This war has taken enough already." Mustafa pleaded with them.
"Oh really?" A familiar voice spoke up from behind the Shepherds as Marcus got up front of them and at the very sight of Marcus. The Plegian forces started to become nervous and when he took a step forward, they all subconsciously took a step back, while Mustafa was only pale at the sight of him. "Because last I remember, the lives that were lost in the last battle were all Plegians." Marcus corrected. "I thought my little power would have been enough to ward you off." Marcus commented as Mustafa gulped at that.
Not one Plegian wanted the war to continue, especially with the power and might that Marcus have displayed. He had all but broken their will to fight and they just want to live now.
"So, you are the Courier that Gangrel wanted dead." Mustafa muttered to himself. "But nonetheless, are you willing to show such might in such a dangerous environment when the ground could be used against your allies?!" Mustafa dared him.
At that Marcus scowled, he knew that with the rain the ravines would become much looser and would risk the Shepherds, the Khans, Philia and her Knights, and Emmeryn. Mustafa had called him out on his bluff.
Then Chrom soon spoke up. "Even if you were to promise us safety, against Gangrel's madness. Your words have no weight to them!" He shouted to Mustafa as he drew his Falchion.
Mustafa was silent when he heard that bit. No doubt Gangrel would have them killed but only after he was satisfied with torturing Marcus for a bit after all the trouble he caused him.
"And even if that wasn't the case." Robin stepped in. "I know as well as you know that Gangrel is a very vindictive man! He would no doubt, demand the head of our friend Marcus in payment for what he not only done to the Wyvern Brigade, but also for costing him his great victory. And you think we will sign off on our friend's death?" Robin demanded.
"The day that the Shepherds willingly abandon one of their own to live is the day that I put up my armor and sword away and retire in shame!" Frederick shouted as well much to the assent of all the other Shepherds who shouted positively in response to Frederick's answer.
Mustafa was silent for a moment before he sighed. "Very well then, if that is how you wish it, then so be it." He stated. "Then by my right I, General Mustafa challenge you to single combat!" He shouted surprising some of his men and many of the Shepherds. "You need to only defeat me and my men will part the way for you to move on, fail in this you must surrender to my men." He challenged.
"Are you nuts?!" Chrom demanded. "How are we sure your words can be trusted? How do we know that you are not stalling for time?" He demanded as Marcus soon put his hand over him causing Chrom to turn to him in surprise. "Marcus?" He questioned.
"We'll accept it." he stated as Chrom widened his eyes. "I've worked with and seen his type before. He's an honest one and he won't go back on his word." Marcus replied. "Not to mention this is the best way to avoid unnecessary bloodshed." He added in.
Chrom saw the answer in Marcus's eyes and looked to where Mustafa is and saw the same honesty and conviction that Marcus had before he nodded. "Very well then, we accept your challenge!" Chrom shouted as Mustafa nodded.
"Very well then, I shall challenge you myself." Mustafa stated as he brought out his axe and marched ahead of them. "Who shall be your champion?" He questioned.
Before any of them could say anything, it was Robin who rushed ahead of them. "I will be the one representing my comrades." She stated seriously.
Chrom widened his eyes. "Robin, are you sure about this?" He questioned with concern for his tactician.
Robin looked back to them and smiled. "Don't worry you guys, I have no intention of losing here, there is too much at stake and I do need to pay back for my failure in not preparing for those Risen to appear out of nowhere if it wasn't for Marcus's aid." She explained.
"Robin, no one could have predicted those Risen appearing." Chrom consoled.
Robin shook her head. "Either way, I shall be the one to protect you all this time." She said with determination burning in her eyes.
Chrom was silent before he nodded to her. "Don't die here Robin." Chrom ordered as Robin approached them as she nodded her head to him.
As Mustafa was about to approach one of his newer recruits approached him in concern. "General, this is foolhardy!" he muttered to him seriously. "That woman over there from the Intelligence Reports states that she's the Tactician of the Shepherds, she will not fall so easily. Surely there is another way that can be taken without your death sir." He argued.
"I truly wish there was another way soldier but there is no other way that can be reasonably taken." Mustafa said with a sigh. "if it were up to me then I would take all of you far away from that dangerous man known as Marcus, the fact he was able to slaughter all the corpses our King seemingly uses with no issue or worry, worries me." He stated before he grimaced at Marcus.
"Surely, we can do something about him, right?" The soldier pleaded before Mustafa snorted.
"No, I've seen his type, they are the most direct and most dedicated type of warriors. I will not be surprised if he could overpower most of us and still finish us off." Mustafa stated as he remembered the feeling he got from Marcus.
"But General-" The soldier tried to continue as Mustafa cut him off.
"Enough, I will not run away from this battle. Especially since the king would sooner kill my wife and son as an example to make. I am trying to force them to give up after their great victory, and now that the Exalt is with them. They will fight tooth to nail to protect her. I will be the one to fight." Mustafa said solemnly.
"…Are you certain you can win?" His soldier asked in hesitation.
"I do not know for sure, I have never crossed blades with her type before on the battlefield." Mustafa admitted before turning to his soldier with a solemn look in his face. "If I do not make it out of here alive…please look after my wife and son, while I am sure they would resent me for this, I believe they will understand in time."
"General." The soldier muttered as Mustafa went off to face Robin.
"He'll be fine." One of the other soldiers spoke up, a Wyvern Rider actually, with confidence. "The general is one of the best fighters I have ever seen, he won't lose."
"But what if he does lose?" The soldier questioned sadly as the rider went silent. "I never wanted to fight in this war in the first place, too many lives were lost in the last war between our nation and a good number of ours died just to execute the Exalt who was just trying to make reparations between our nations."
"I am Mustafa and if you desire to keep your lives then fight for it!" He declared as he got into a battle pose.
"Don't worry, I plan to." Robin stated as she pulled out her silver sword and confronted Mustafa with it. Then she dashed to him planning on impaling him with her sword before Mustafa blocked it with his axe and pushed forward with his superior weight and physique allowing him more power as Robin jumped back to prevent herself from falling over.
Mustafa then roared as he brought down his axe and Robin's body jerked and rolled over to the left before she tried swing down her blade on Mustafa before Mustafa quickly brought up his axe to counter the swing before he used his free hand to punch Robin in the face, sending her reeling back from him.
Robin grunted before she spat out a bit of blood and brought out her thunder tome and begin firing at Mustafa, who simply sidestepped her bolts with incredible precision or using his axe to divert most of the power to his weapon before slamming it to the ground to make it fizzle out.
"Magic User eh? Unique fighting style you have there." Mustafa commented as he charged at Robin as she quickly switched up her weapons and used her sword to block most of the blow from Mustafa's swing as Robin feinted to her right and brought up her sword to his chin which he barely dodged by using his own hand to push it out of the way at the last moment before he used his axe to attack Robin as she barely put up her sword in time to block most of the blow.
Robin soon used the force from Mustafa's swing to roll to her left as she winced as she saw the blood from her upper arm bleeding and looked to Mustafa who had a bloody hand and a deep cut on his right cheek as he panted from that blow.
"You're pretty good." Mustafa admitted. "But I'm not done yet!" He roared as he charged at Robin with his remaining good hand as Robin charged at him with both her arms while wincing a bit at the stinging in her right arm.
The first clash of sword and axe caused them to reel back a bit as they brought up their weapons for another clash as both their sword and axe sparkled at the intensity they were fighting each other at.
Robin and Mustafa clashed as they kept their feet moving to hopefully grab an advantage over the other as Robin clenched her teeth as she swung her blade at Mustafa's side only to be caught up in Mustafa's unique axe as she then headbutted him full on the face, causing both of them to reel back as Robin charged at him ferociously.
During which Mustafa spat blood directly in Robin's face causing her to lose her sight for a moment as he brought down his axe on Robin's chest leaving but thankfully was only a gash as her shirt took the damage for the most part.
The pain from the gash caused Robin to open her eyes wide as she gritted her teeth and kept swinging down her sword with full force on Mustafa's body as he reeled back from the sudden increase in strength before he also noted that Robin's hands were bleeding somewhat.
Robin kept swinging down her blade with full force each time, regardless of how much it hurt her hands and her injured arm. She kept the aggressive stance up and kept chipping away at Mustafa's defense as she rolled to the right to dodge an aggressive blow from Mustafa and made a gash across his chest as well.
Robin then made a charging attack as her next attack connected with Mustafa's axe before she looped her blade under the axe blade and she used her uninjured left arm to punch Mustafa's forearm, causing him to loosen his grip on his axe as Robin ignored the pain in her right arm as she forced his axe out of his hand far behind her.
Then Robin roared as she made one final downward slash at he now unarmed general and sending out a spray of blood from Mustafa's chest.
"…Well done." Mustafa congratulated as he fell to his knees.
"General!" Several of his troops shouted as they rush forth to help him.
"Stay back!" He ordered in a pain tone. "She won…" Robin said nothing as she panted at him pointing her sword at his neck. "Take it; take my life and no more, just promise me that you will let my men leave unharmed…they are just followers of an old man." He stated as looked at Robin in the eye.
Robin looked at him solemnly and saw that he was willing to do everything to save his warriors. Then remembered an important talk she once had with Marcus long ago.
(Flashback Start)
"Marcus." Robin called out to him from across the table where they were enjoying their drinks at the local tavern.
"Yeah Robin?" Marcus questioned.
"Do you mind if I ask you about a certain part of your history again." She asked.
Marcus shrugged his shoulders. "Go for it." He stated.
Robin nodded as she took a gulp of her drink before she asked. "Was there any other reason for you sparing Ulysses even though he costed you your past and tried to make your life a living nightmare?" She asked.
Marcus blinked at that. "Well that's a complicated subject to say." He stated.
"But why did you choose to not fight him but to ally with him?" She pressed on.
Marcus looked contemplative before he looked up and his eyes spoke just how weary he was. And it took Robin aback as to how exhausted he looked.
"I think the real question I was asking myself at the time was, is it really that necessary to fight him? And then after that I wondered to myself as to what would his death have accomplished? He was a man fighting in the memory of a lost nation, a place he could have called home. He had every right to hate me for what I've done. And I think the answer came down to him as well. Just what would either of us have accomplished by killing one another? Is it really worth it in the end? Will we change for the worst if we allowed ourselves to be guided by revenge? I just ask myself that and I decided it was not to my taste. But if you could do it…then that's who you are." Marcus stated as he took a long gulp from his bottle.
Robin was left in contemplation over what Marcus had said that night.
(Flashback End)
"I refuse." Robin sighed as she let down her sword, much to Mustafa's complete surprise, before she sheathed it.
"You spared my life? What possessed you to do so?" Mustafa asked as one of the medics, now that Robin refused to kill him rushed up to fix him up.
Robin looked back to the Shepherds, all of whom were nodding their approval at her before she looked back. "It doesn't accomplish anything and it is distasteful to kill someone as noble as you." She explained as she smiled at him.
Mustafa blinked at her and lowered his head in thanks. "Your kindness shames me greatly." He muttered. "Even though it may not be enough, I apologize for our invasion of your homeland and attempt to execute your Exalt." He stated.
Robin nodded before she fell to her knees as well and at that point Lissa, Maribelle, and Libra quickly rushed out to help heal her.
"Robin!" Lissa cried out as she quickly got her healing staff out and as soon as got within distance of Robin started healing her. "Don't worry we're here to help you out!"
Robin smiled weakly as the three healers started their work on her. "Yeah, but maybe we should get out while we still can." She added in.
Basilio, who had walked up alongside the rest of the Shepherds and Ylissean forces, nodded. "Indeed, we should, now come on you lot, your tactician went one on one with a general for our freedom, now let's go." He all but ordered.
"Indeed." Chrom said as he turned to Emmeryn. "Come now sister, we are almost there." He said with a brotherly smile as Emmeryn nodded back to him.
As the group walked past by the Plegian Army who simply parted before them many of them had their heads down. Like their general, they too were ashamed of their actions and had no desire to shed no more blood. Especially since Marcus was still with them and he terrified all of them.
At the other side where the convoy was for them to escape there was a pink haired woman who was walking a bit nervously as Basilio smiled brightly when he saw her. "Olivia!" He cheerfully called out as Olivia stopped what she was doing to see where that came from to see the Khans followed by the Shepherds and the Pegasus Knights.
"Khan Basilio!" She shouted in relief. "I am glad that you and your companions are all right, now hurry up now we have to get out of here." She quickly added in as everyone nodded and started to climb or travel on the convoy as they headed back to Regna Ferox to prepare for their eventual conflict with the Mad King.
Mustafa looked at the departing convoy with respect before he turned to face his army. "Well I suppose we should do something now that we have failed." He sighed out.
Most of his commanding staff nodded sadly. "Indeed, Gangrel will no doubt have our heads for this failure." One of them spoke up.
"But I don't think he will be able to do that just yet." Another one of his officers spoke up.
"And why is that?" Mustafa questioned.
"The one known as Marcus…" The officer started off somewhat hesitantly. "His display of might terrified and broke the fighting spirits of many of the Plegian soldiers that when they heard orders to go after him or lose their lives many of them started deserting which was only increased when a letter was recently passed around." He explained.
Mustafa raised an eyebrow at that. "What letter?" he questioned.
The officer looked down before he spoke again. "A letter of King Gangrel ordering some of his personal warriors to invade Ylisse to start a war and execute the border patrol to stir trouble. And the worst part is, is that it has the official seal of Plegia on it." He finished off.
At that many of the commanding officers started cursing of threw down their weapon in anger as Mustafa scowled at that.
"Damn the Mad King, he's no better than the last Exalt at all." Mustafa cursed under his breath before he turned to his staff. "And what do you suppose we do now?" He questioned.
All of them looked at each other for a moment before they looked to him. "I say to Hell with the King, leave us out of it." One of them stated as all of them nodded in agreement.
"You do realize that this is treason correct?" Mustafa stated as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Sir, with all due respect, Gangrel is not worth fighting or dying for." One of his officers said flatly as the others nodded their opinion.
Mustafa sighed before he looked to his men. "Very well then, it seems we will have to be on the run as well." He said as his men nodded their head in agreement.
"We'd follow you anywhere Mustafa." One of his officers stated as all of them nodded in agreement.
"Ah! It's good to be back home!" Flavia said with a large grin on her face as she plopped herself on her throne, before she looked over to where the Exalt is. "Emmeryn, I am glad that you were able to make it out of there alive, means the campaign wasn't in vain after all." She stated.
Exalt Emmeryn just smiled. "And I thank you and all of Regna Ferox for going out of their way to save me, even though you could have probably use your army for more important purposes, I am sure." She said as Flavia just laughed heartily at what Emmeryn said.
"Oh please! The day that Regna Ferox decides to abandon their allies is the day that I step down from the throne and let this country rot away before building it anew." She said with a friendly grin. "Regna Ferox never abandons their allies at all."
Emmeryn smiled and bowed. "Nevertheless, I thank you for your aid and I put myself under your nation's care for the duration of the war."
Flavia smiled at that. "Don't worry Exalt, I will see to it that you are perfectly safe here in my territory while we deal with a war with the Mad King." She stated before she grinned widely. "But now we got to celebrate your return! So, let's party!" She shouted to the cheers of the crowd as they all are looking forward to a party after a long battle.
Soon after she shouted that all of her servants started prepping food and drinks for everyone to enjoy and even Philia and her knights joined in as well. It was a nice change of pace after being held hostage by the Plegian forces in their hot and dry territory.
Sully and Vaike were laughing and trying to arm wrestle each other in submission. Chrom and Sumia were, surprisingly, hanging out and enjoying each other company. Miriel and Kellam were discussing intellectual pursuits. Lon'qu was not fleeing from Lissa for once and was actually holding a conversation with her. Libra and Cordelia were simply drinking and having a heart to heartfelt chat about their friends and comrades. Nowi and Donnel were having fun laughing or something like that. Tharja and Gaius were talking and whispering to themselves over something. Maribelle was criticizing Stahl over his manner and was trying to get him to eat less sloppy. Frederick was on the side keeping watch over the party as Robin was being forced to gulp down copious amounts of alcohol by the two Khans. Olivia and Virion seem to have a pleasant conversation about something.
Marcus on the other hand had gone outside with a mug of whisky and drinking it slowly as he went stargazing at the sky. There were so many constellations and stars that he didn't recognize that for the first time in a while he was reminded just how far away from home he was.
He simply sighed at the sight before he looked over to see all of Regna Ferox. It seems so unfair for only him to enjoy being in this new world, despite the fact that he is caught up in a new war right now. Everything made the benefit made that tiny tidbit a nonexistent stain in his enjoyment of the world.
"Joshua, I wonder what you would say about my thoughts and actions right now." Marcus muttered as he took a sip from his mug wondering what his old friend would have said to him about his current thought process.
In all likelihood, Joshua would have most likely berated him for not enjoying this newfound paradise as he would have also added in this is a reward from God for all the good deeds that he had done in his lifetime and it was time that he took his reward. "Perhaps the fact you could never enjoy such a paradise but could only hope others would reach this place with you is possibly the reason I respect you the most out of all my companions with the exception of Boone." Marcus stated to himself, Joshua would never accept this place as he had too many sins on his hands for him to truly accept it.
Marcus then quirked his mouth up at how some of his other companions would react to being here in this world. Veronica would no doubt balk at the lack of technology here but surely enjoy the brawling that is now in place that she would no doubt enjoy being among the warriors of Regna Ferox. Cass would most likely drink the warriors here out of their cash as well and get drunk and have fun while possibly starting a new merchant caravan in honor of her old one.
Raul would likely just fix whatever he could do in this new world while keeping his distance from the people so he could play his guitar without any distractions. Arcade would do what he can to help care for the people and become a teacher for those that wish to learn about medical practices with him. Lily would most likely just tend to some animals here and start a farm or something like that. Ed-E and Rex would most likely just follow him and do whatever he would do and without any issue as well just like they usually do.
Dean would just likely try to find some other place to rob of all its riches and drink and have fun while he's at it. God or Dog would just wonder the place searching for his own answers for his own existence and most likely end up as a protector for some local village. Christina would just probably try to document the history of this world and understand how the past affected the future, if not follow him on his journey.
Chalk would most likely be excited by the new sights he would see and tour around this world. Cloud would probably just try to find the local hospital and do as she always do as a midwife and care for young kids as usual. Rosie would follow wherever Rex would go considering she is his mate in a sense. Joshua would likely train up local militias to protect themselves from raiders and hunt down bandits all the same. While try to bring down Plegia to the ground if ever found out about them doing slavery.
Ulysses would just travel the world and learn what he could about each of the nation that he traveled to and learn from their history and make his own assumptions or guesses about how some of the events of the past lead to the events of the future. But he would no doubt be interested in how these heroes of the past lead to some of the events in the future and left their own mark on history.
"Marcus? What are you doing out here?" A voice called out causing Marcus to turn back to see that it was Emmeryn standing there with a confused look on her face.
"Oh, you know, just some thinking going on in my head is all." Marcus simply said. "I just wondered how some of my other companions are doing without me, no doubt they will be sad to here that I am missing." He stated as Emmeryn gained a sad look on her face.
"I forgot about that." She murmured, remembering the rather colorful cast of various people by Marcus's side. "I forgot that you really miss them, to not have them by your side. Even now, you must feel like a stranger in our world." She said as Marcus, much to her surprise, simply shook his head.
"Well you're not wrong about the fact that I miss my friends and companions." Marcus admitted. "They were basically my family in all but blood and they have helped me out of a lot of bad situations in the past, especially as I was starting off on my own." Before he smiled. "But I do not feel like a stranger in this world, not one bit at all Emmeryn."
Emmeryn tilted her head to the side. "Oh? And why is that Marcus?" She questioned kindly.
"Because of them." Marcus motioned to the now loud room that had various people having fun and were drinking but he was pointing to a certain group in particular. "Even when I had used that unforgivable weapon from my world. They had still treated me kindly as a member of the group no matter what. So, as you see, I am not alone." Marcus declared to a quiet Emmeryn.
Emmeryn was silent before she smiled. "I see, I am truly glad that you have been adjusting well to our world." She said kindly. "Now do you wish to come back in? it's rather chilly out here." She said as she shivered a bit from the cold weather.
Marcus just smiled in amusement. "Sure, why not?" He stated as he walked back in with Emmeryn. "I could use another refill on my mug right now either way." He stated as he came back to loud rumbling party where everyone was having fun or laughing their faces off.
Marcus just smiled softly at the chaotic mess before him. The Shepherds were his new family now, he is willing to just do about anything to protect them no matter what happened to him.
"Okay now, that's enough drinking from you, we should get you some sleep now." Marcus muttered to himself and clearly not to his companion that was giggling without restraint and intended on feeling him up.
"Oh, come on Marcus!" His carry on slurred. "We're just getting started to have a night now, there is so much fun to be had." His companion laughed silly before hiccuping and fall on Marcus's shoulder.
"And you clearly had more than enough to drink now Robin." Marcus casually replied back as he held the Tactician of the Shepherds in a piggyback ride on his back.
Robin then dumped her head on his shoulder and giggled relentlessly as Marcus could smell the alcohol from her breath. "Come on Marcus! We never seen you drunk before and I want to see just what kind of drunk you would make." She breathed close to his ear.
Marcus shivered not at the hot breath that came from Robin's mouth but the memories that came since the last time he drank himself into oblivion. House had amusingly recorded the whole incident after he drank his tenth bottle of vodka and the results were spectacularly disastrous and completely and utterly embarrassing for him and many of his companions as well.
"I rather not, thank you very much Robin." Marcus stated flatly.
Robin giggled delightfully. "Don't be a sourpuss Marcus!" She complained. "So, where you going to take little old me?" She asked jumping topics easily now.
"I am going to take you to your quarters for you to recover from this party." Marcus replied causally at that as Robin gained a sly grin at that and started rubbing herself all over Marcus's back causing him to twitch his eyes a bit.
"Oh my! You're going to take me in my room? In my current vulnerable state? I didn't know you were so naughty like that Marcus." Robin cooed as Marcus turned a bit red at that thought.
"Robin, I am not going to take advantage of you no matter how much you beg for sexy night with me nor did I have any plans on doing that." Marcus replied.
"You plan to have sexy night with me?" Robin said with a wide smile before she wrapped her arms around Marcus and started rubbing his cheeks with hers. "You really do know how to show a girl a good time now don't you?" She cooed at him.
'Just count in your head Marcus, ignore the sexy girl trying to get you out of your pants and ride you like a cowgirl.' Marcus thought to himself as Robin started flaying a bit to wrap herself from the front.
By the time Marcus had reached her room he looked back and saw that Robin was already snoozing already and actually drooling a bit on his shoulder. 'That's…so freaking wonderful.' Marcus snarked to himself as he grimaced as he swore he also smelled something else mixed with her drool on him.
Marcus then rolled his eyes and undid the doors and then walked into her room and dumped her on the bed where Robin was groaning and started hugging the pillow now. Meanwhile Marcus just sighed and plopped himself on one of the seats that robin had in her room and materialized a bottle of water and started gulping it down before sighing.
"This has been a long day for all of us." Marcus muttered to himself. Like seriously, how did he knew he was going to recruit some new guys and gals, rescue the Exalt, take on like a battalion of Plegian soldiers, use Esther against the walking dead, flee from the world's greatest asshole, and see Robin in a duel with a surprisingly cordial Plegian General and his army that were now scared of him?
Marcus then looked over to where Robin was and snorted quietly. Robin continued to impress him more and more every day since he first met her. He was actually surprised that Robin was able to pull through that duel and displayed some vicious fighting skill that she clearly took inspiration from not only Chrom but also him as well.
'Robin, you're probably going to shine even brighter than I ever could or anyone else could.' Marcus thought to himself as he smiled quietly at that.
Marcus then got up got up to Robin's bed and moved her hair out of the way and patted her on the forehead. "Sleep tight Robin, we're going to need you to exercise that big brain of yours tomorrow." Marcus whispered before he got up and started leaving only to feel something tugging him, causing him to turn that it was Robin holding onto his arm and awake somewhat and smiling serenely at him.
"Marcus come here for a second please." Robin quietly whispered out. Not being able to do anything and not seeing the harm in it Marcus just sat down close to Robin.
"What is it Robin?" Marcus questioned.
"Just bring your head a bit closer, please." Robin whispered that Marcus could barely hear it, causing him to lean in a bit.
"Sorry what was that-" Marcus suddenly stopped as Robin quickly grabbed his face, causing him to widen his eyes at that as she pulled him in for a full-on kiss on his lips.
Marcus was blinking in shock as Robin stuck her tongue in his mouth and swirled and played around with his lip before she pulled back revealing a saliva string that Robin broke and took into her mouth.
Marcus was still blinking at what just happened.
"Your reward for saving my plan and for taking me to my room." She said quietly before she closed her eyes and collapsed to the bed fully asleep now.
Marcus just blinked one last time before he shook his head a bit and started leaving. As he walked under the hallway under the night. Marcus just started laughing slowly somewhat before bursting out in full laughter. He won't deny that Robin amused him to no end by her actions.
"Have to admit, this has been overall a pleasant night." Marcus hummed to himself as he went off to bed. Today was a good day, but he did think about Robin's kiss.
