In my defense, how are you suppose to know that you have to search the town? It disappears!
Robin was walking down the halls of the castle, on his way to the throne room, when he ran into a familiar couple.
"Hey, Stahl. Miriel." Robin said, with a nervous smile. "How are you two?"
"Pretty good." Stahl replied with a smile. "We were checking in with Chrom. He wanted to make sure we would help him if a situation were to arise."
"Wow, Stahl." Robin said sarcastically. "I almost listened to that entire sentence."
Stahl frowned. Miriel, however, studied the tactician. "You're aggressive. On the defensive. We haven't done anything to our knowledge that would threaten you. You must know something. Something that you would not want us to know."
"See, Miriel, this is the kind of stuff I told you about." Robin said.
"What about our son, Robin?" Stahl asked.
"W-What do you mean?!" Robin exclaimed.
"We have a son. We know this." Miriel said. "Lucina said we have one."
"Dammit, Lucy." Robin muttered to himself. "OK. Yes. As far as I know, you have a son. I also never said we found all the future children. I never got a straight answer about how many people traveled back in time with Lucina. I suspect there were a few more, considering all the people whose children we didn't find. I suppose time travel can mess with your head."
"But she remembers our son." Stahl said.
"Yeah, but we were at war." Robin replied. "There's no reason for us to deliberately search for your child." He paused for a second. "Actually, since you have so much free time, considering the fact that you don't have a job, you could go out and find him."
"I do not think it is likely for us to find him." Miriel said.
"Well, then just set up an area where you would be easy to find." Robin responded. "This isn't really my problem anymore. We never saw your child die, so, for all we know, he could still be out there." Robin walked away from the couple, shouting, "Good luck with you missing child!" He walked into the throne room.
"...Well, that went well." Stahl commented.
"We still do not know where our son is." Miriel said.
"Well, yeah." Stahl said. "But, I don't think that's our problem as long as we start our own family. If he shows up, he shows up and we welcome him."
"I could point out a few flaws in your logic." Miriel said. "For one thing-"
"SON OF A BITCH, CHROM!" Robin's voice shouted through the hall, out of the throne room. "YOU DON'T JUST TELL SOMEONE THAT!" There was silence, likely Chrom responding. "AND YOU SAW HER DIE?! YOU SHOULD TELL THEM, NOT ME!" A softer voice. "OH, NOW YOU CARE HOW SHE FEELS! I MEAN, REALLY, MAN?! REALLY?!" A female voice spoke up, and Robin's voice quieted down.
Stahl and Miriel looked at each other in silence. The doors swung open, and Lucina walked out, followed by Robin, who was rubbing his cheek.
"Wouldn't it be easier if you did it?" Robin asked his wife. "You actually knew her! They might want to know stuff about their child."
"You are in far more of a position to tell them about their children." Lucina replied. "You're an official, you have more of a standing."
"You're a princess." Robin responded.
"If it makes you feel better, I can tell you as much as I can about her." Lucina said. "I agree with you, though. Father probably should have told us that earlier."
Robin nodded, then looked over at Stahl and Miriel.
"Don't worry about it. Not your kid." He said. "Although I'd assume you would take it better…" He mumbled as he walked away.
"...Miriel?"
"Yes, Stahl?"
"Did I ever tell you how happy I am that I didn't marry into royalty?"
"I would assume you implied that when you married me."
"Yeah. Sure. It bares repeating."
So, the setting's a bit different.
I didn't know how to get Laurent. Stahl and Miriel were married before Lucina joined the team, so I didn't know which of the newly appeared missions was his.
If you never find Laurent, that doesn't mean he's dead, per-say. One of the children actually did die in-game. Can you guess who?
