I forgot to mention who the next person was last chapter. Sorry if that threw anybody off. Odds are it didn't. If you haven't figured it out, I'm mainly doing this in order of recruitment. That's going out the window once we get to Lucina, but still.
That said, here's one that breaks the pattern! I think you recruit Donnel before Anna typically, but I never got Donnel, so I got Anna first. I'm still doing a Donnel chapter.
"Hey, Robin?" The red-headed merchant asked the tactician across from her.
"Yeah, Anna?" Robin responded.
"I just want to clear the air about something that happened earlier in the war." She said.
"OK." Robin replied. "Shoot."
"You were flirting with me when I first joined, right?" Anna asked, winking at Robin.
"...Maybe." Robin replied. "But I can assure you it was completely professional."
"First off, I don't think there's any way to flirt with a co-worker and keep it completely professional." Anna said.
"I think the majority of the army would disagree with you on that." Robin commented.
"You heard most of the 'seduction' stories, right?" Anna responded. "Most of them either involve food or walking in on naked people."
"Eh. People have bonded over stranger things." Robin responded.
"Secondly, you were anything but professional when you flirted with me." Anna said.
"Hey, I was completely professional!" Robin retorted. "All I did was mention that there were more valuable things in the world than money!"
"For one thing, you were completely and utterly wrong about that." Anna said. "Secondly, you were gesturing to your crouch as you said that."
"...OK, maybe I could have handled that a little better." Robin said. "Fortunately, we aren't gonna have to worry about keeping things professional since you're fired."
There was an awkward pause. Anna opened her mouth to make a comment, but decided against it. It was much more fun to see Robin try to backtrack.
"...OK. I just heard that out loud. What I meant is that we aren't working together anymore not- Look, you know what I mean!"
"Yup." Anna said, smirking at the tactician. "You are aware it's going to cost a pretty penny to keep this story from coming out, right?"
"Yes, I know." Robin replied. "In case you were wondering, the reason you're being laid off is because we can't afford you. Why are you charging so much to serve in the army?"
"Because I got to make my own rate."
"...Should have realized that was a bad idea." Robin said. "Well, that was Chrom's fault, not mine."
"Well, as much as I'm gonna hate losing the royal paycheck, I think I'll survive." Anna said. "I'm probably gonna go back to my roots as a merchant. I was thinking about collecting all the gold I've made into a giant pool and swimming it!"
"...That sounds unsafe and unsanitary." Robin commented. "Now, get out of my office. I got stuff to do. Like find out what I can cut from my budget…"
"Alright then." Anna said, as she stood up and walked out of the room. "Just remember that, if I don't have the financial equivalent of a golden chicken on my doorstep by the fifth, I'm gonna have a bit of a girl talk with a certain time traveler!"
Robin put his hands on his face and groaned.
"How am I losing more money by firing somebody?"
I was gonna have Robin hook up with Anna, but then I thought about how funny (or disturbing) it would be for Robin to hook up with one of the future daughters. That way, he could always tell the parents that he's 'sleeping with their daughter.' Bonus points if the baby version of them is already born.
And a lot of the romance support do involve cooking and walking in on naked people. Maybe not with the pairings I used, but still.
Up next: Cordelia!
