Theme 2: Complicated
Lissa slammed her cup of tea violently on the oak table, the liquid splashing out of the cup. "It's not fair! Chrom gets to go out and have a field day with Sumia, while he gives me the boot and tells me I can't spend any time with Robin!" She flopped onto the table, putting her head in between her arms like a sleeping schoolchild.
"Lissa, darling, please calm down." Maribelle tried to comfort her best friend, putting an arm around her shoulder. "It will be alright."
Lissa shot up, a few tears forming in her eyes. "No! It won't be okay!" The princess was shouting now, and even Maribelle seemed to be taken aback by Lissa's uncharacteristic fit. "I'm the godsdamn Princess of Ylisse! I deserve to do as I please!" Lissa was growing more furious by the second.
"Lissa! Watch the words that come from your mouth! Language like that is for barbarians!" Maribelle set her cup of tea on the table, much more gently than Lissa had.
"If I can't speak plainly as a Princess, then I'd rather be a blasted barbarian… At least then I could be with anyone! Who's Chrom to tell me what I can and cannot do?!" She screamed.
"Please, Lissa dear. A Princess, nay, even a noble has no use for a common man. Surely you will find someone more fit in your own social cla-" Maribelle was cut off by Lissa's outrage.
"You too?!" Tears streamed from Lissa's eyes, rolling down her cheeks. "You sound just like my brother!" The Princess stormed off, slamming the door of Maribelle's room behind her in her fit of rage.
Outside the room, Lissa put her back to the wall and slid down to the floor, putting her face in her hands. "Robin… Why do you make things so complicated?" She managed to say through her tears.
