Robin crouched down to look at the blue haired prince. He was hiding shyly behind Olivia's leg, refusing to talk to Robin.
"C'mon Inigo, talk to Robin," Olivia told him, gently nudging him in her direction.
"O-Okay Mommy," he replied, cautiously stepping out from behind her. "H-Hi Robin." The way he said her name came out like Wobin, and she let out an aw.
"Hi Inigo," she told him cheerfully, holding out her hand. "I wanted to know if you wanted to play with Marc. He's only a year younger than you."
Inigo looked back at his mom for approval. Olivia nodded, smiling at Robin. He hesitantly reached out his hand, his tiny palm fitting with hers. They began to walk away, when Robin looked back at Olivia. Olivia mouthed a quick, "Thank you," and Robin nodded her head in acknowledgement.
"Robin?" Inigo asked quietly.
"Yes?" she asked, looking down at the little boy.
"What does Marc like?"
"He likes bugs and books," she answered, opening the door to where Marc was. "Marc likes playing outside too."
"Mommy!" Marc squealed, running over to hug her leg. He looked at Inigo with a large grin. "Are you here to play with me? I tried playing with Noire once, but she didn't like the things I like."
"Yeah, Inigo's here to play with you," Robin explained, releasing Inigo's hand. "Be nice okay?"
Marc stopped hugging her leg and ran towards all his toys. "Inigo, what do you wanna do first?" Inigo waddled over to Marc and pointed to a toy train. The two played together, and there wasn't any fighting, mostly because Inigo was quiet.
Arms wrapped around her waist, and she let out a small gasp. "So," a familiar voice started. "Is little me playing with Marc?"
She spun around to look him in the face. "Yes. I knew you were shy when you were younger, but not this shy." She teased, "You have such a big mouth now, and I wouldn't be able to guess."
"Come on," he said, placing a hand on his heart. "You're words hurt, you know."
She planted a kiss on his cheek. "Don't worry I'm only teasing you. How was work?"
"It was fine, boring as always. Father always has me do the most boring things, and I never get to talk to anyone." He wrapped an arm around her waist, using the other to brush a strand of hair out of her face. "I'd much rather spend time with you."

Review Responses:
DustedWithStars: Boy saves girl or vice versa stories are always cute imo. Yay, flute buddies! The people in our band range from really good to okay, and I like to think I'm somewhere in between.
TheMysteriousGeek2345: Inigo is Robin's hero! I have lots of friends who play clarinet, but my bff plays flute with me. It's a good instrament though!
The LoZ-Fan Yami-Chan: I guess that could happen. I love both Inigo and Owain's hot spring scramble convos with MU when they're married. They're adorable! Olivia's always better off using a lance than a tome in my play throughs. I guess it depends on the stats. She usually ends up as a Swordmaster when I play.
Thoaria: Thank you, and I hope you like this chapter!
Thanks to everyone for reviewing!
