"The two of you are going to Regna Ferox?" Tiamo asked placing a now sleeping baby Lucina in her crib. After the death of her whole family during the war with the Mad King, she'd thought her life was over until she heard the two rulers of Ylisse were looking for a surrogate who would then become the child's governess. Being chosen had felt like Naga had given her a new purpose in life, a reason to why she had lived and others had not.
Chrom nodded. "We owe Regna Ferox a great debt. I must apprise myself of the facts there before deciding on a course of action."
"Yes, I suppose you do."
He turned to Robin. "I want you to stay here with Tiamo and Lucina."
"What? Chrom, you can't be serious."
"It's too dangerous. I'd worry about you. Lissa and I had Emm of course, but we lost our parents when we were young. I want Lucina to grow up with her whole family around her."
"All the more reason to keep me close at hand, no? Don't you think I'd worry about you too? You want Lucina to grow up with her whole family, that includes you. If something were to happen to you, what would I tell Lucina? That I was here twiddling my thumbs instead of watching my husband's back?" Robin shook his head. "I'm going with you, Chrom. If you try and leave me here, I'll just follow you on my own. Together we can be more than we can alone, remember?"
"I agree. You could use his strategic thinking." In the time she'd spent with Chrom and Robin, Tiamo had grown close to them and though she didn't like being left behind, she knew there was little wisdom in her going. She would remain here and do what little she could. "I'll watch over the little princess while you're away, but you must promise, both of you, that you will stay safe. For Lucina's sake."
Chrom held up his hands in surrender. "All right, I can see when I'm out matched. Honestly, I would feel better if you were by my side, Robin."
"By your side is where I plan to stay."
