"Um, Dad?" Severa asked tentatively. Robin was in the kitchen, helping prepare dinner with Cordelia.

"Hm? What is it, dear?"

"Uh.." She fidgeted nervously. "Well, so…" she mumbled, unable to continue. Robin put down the meat he was tenderizing and turned to face her, a gentle smile on his face.

"What's wrong, Severa? Surely it can't be so bad that you can't tell me?"

"Okay…" She took a deep breath, and Cordelia couldn't help chuckling from the other side of the kitchen, where she was chopping carrots. "Well, so, you know I've been hanging out with Yarne a lot recently, and, well...yeah."

Robin sighed.

"Let me guess. You guys are a couple now?" Severa nodded apprehensively. "Well, I guess you're around that age...and if you're already together, there's really not much I can do without feeling terrible. Why don't you just invite him to dinner some time so we can get to know him better?"

"Really? You don't mind that I'm dating?" Severa seemed shocked that Robin was taking it so well.

"I'm not happy about it, and I don't think your mother is, either, but at some point you will. At least now we can be here to make sure you're not making bad decisions."

"Yay! I'll see when he wants to come for dinner!"

Later, at the dinner table, Cordelia had a couple questions for her daughters.

"So, Morgan, now that we know that Severa' seeing someone, how about you? Anyone of interest?" She kept the tone light and teasing, so that Morgan would know that it was okay to tell her if there was. But she shook her head, although she blushed slightly.

"Well, then. I believe you. Severa, why didn't you just tell us about Yarne earlier?"

"Well...it felt like trouble lurking around the corner, especially because Dad can be so possessive, you know?"

Cordelia couldn't help bursting out in laughter while Robin put on his best indignant face.


25% done! Hope this one is fun for you guys to read; I'm sure many of us were in high school relationships that we kind of tried to keep hidden from our parents...only to realize that they knew all along (or, at least, my parents did). I thought it'd be more plausible that Robin and Cordelia would be more mature about their daughters dating, rather than being like Chrom and just being like NO MALE CONTACT. Just my two cents. :)

Aquawaves: Yup! Every morning..at 6 am. And I mean every morning. Coast to coast is hard, but country to country is even harder . 15 hour time differences are NOT fun to deal with.

Kokiri-Hylian Hero: Yeah, it was, but this one is much more happy/amusing! :) only 75 more to go!

Aust Sakura Kyzor: I've definitely run into that at airports, with racism being rampant, although I never understand why they always check me; I'm just a skinny Asian girl, I don't think I look suspicious at all, but I've been patted down too many times to remember.

As always, please R&R, and we're 25% through this journey of drabbles!
