Chrom was fuming with anger; Ashe was glaring daggers at him. The Shepherds dared not interrupt but they watched Chrom and Ashe carefully in case they needed to intervene. The air surrounding them was murderous and the two people were literally shaking, barely containing their anger.
"You're wrong. That's not the correct way to do things." Chrom snarled.
"You're the one who's wrong. There are better ways to approach this and you're being close-minded."
"Close-minded? I would watch what I say if I were you."
Ashe's jaw dropped. She was surprised by Chrom's choice of words and his tone of voice. She clenched her fists; she wasn't backing down. Robin tapped Chrom's shoulder, hoping to at least calm him down a bit.
"Now, now," he said softly, "Why don't we incorporate both your ideas? I think they're wonderful ideas and it'd be a waste to give them up."
They glared at him and Robin felt his blood run cold.
"Incorporate? With her lousy idea? No thanks!"
"Excuse me? My idea trumps yours!"
Robin sighed as he retreated. He decided to seek Libra and ask for prayer for the couple.
It had started off as a playful disagreement but it quickly escalated into a huge argument that threatened to tear apart Ylisstol. Chrom and Ashe were standing opposite of each other, their faces flushed with anger. Their hearts were racing and even then, they couldn't help but think that this was the most intense argument they'd ever had.
"I'm the captain of the Shepherds. I know what we need to improve on and I know that my idea will work best."
"Your idea is old fashioned and ineffective! Ylisstol may have been doing things your way for generations, but my idea has saved my life thousands of times! The Shepherds will benefit from my idea and not your traditional way."
Chrom groaned; he wanted to pull his hair out in frustration.
"If you're so against this idea, does that mean you're against me?"
Lissa gasped. The other Shepherds had already left but she remained to see how the situation would turn out. She didn't like where this situation was heading.
"Perhaps it means that you're against me, captain."
"Maybe it's best we don't see each other for a while, then."
"Fine! Have it your way!"
Chrom punched the wall as Ashe turned on her heel and swiftly left the room. Lissa was speechless; Chrom rarely got angry and even when he did get angry, he'd never been angry enough to punch a wall.
"Chrom?"
Chrom didn't look at her but Lissa knew he wore a tired expression.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, Lissa."
Lissa reached out to hug him but he turned from her and walked away.
