A/N: So….It's been a while(Checks calendar, sweats…) U-Um anyway I do apologize for half a year long wait, I've been dealing with some family issues that finally cultivated with my aunts death so I've been having to help out my uncle and cousins for a while. Anyway I decided to write a short flashback chapter to not help myself get back into writing but also so you guys know I'm still alive, enjoy :)

Barracks- Sumia's Room

Sumia didn't know what to do, she had just gotten back from Ferox with the rest of the shepherds and it would be a few more weeks before the next march. Chrom had lead a small coalition force to a small village that had requested assistance and only a handful of shepherds were left.

That included the shepherds tactician, Robin…Ever since she had locked eyes with him in their first encounter, she couldn't stop thinking about him. It didn't help that whenever she would go to the library he would be there reading, and whenever he spotted her he would always wave and talk to her. While that wouldn't be a problem in of itself, the problem is that she lost her voice whenever she heard Robin talk, she felt like a unworthy heroine talking to the knight in shining armor.

Sumia groaned as she laid on her bed, she had read all of her books and she knew that if she went to the library Robin would most certainly be there…She sighed before standing up and walking over to the window. She looked down to the ground where she could make out Sully training a few of the soldiers, along with the broken dummies scattered about.

She smiled and figured some training would get her mind off of things, she grabbed her armor and headed down to the training yard. On her way there though, she ran into Cordelia who had just returned from her most recent patrol. "Oh, hey Cordelia! Haven't seen you in a while."

Cordelia smiled at her best friend and gave her a hug "Indeed it's been a while Sumia, I'm glad to see you're doing well. How has Chrom been?"

Sumia rolled her eyes, of course Cordelia would mention Chrom right off the bat. "He's been doing good, although he isn't here right now."

"Oh I know, I heard about his mission to a small village requesting assistance, I was surprised though to learn our new tactician didn't go with him, what was his name…Goblin?"

Sumia internally face palmed at the absolute wrongness of that statement "His name is Robin…and apparently he stayed behind because Chrom wanted to make sure someone could keep the shepherds in order while he was gone."

"Really? I'm surprised he didn't leave Sir Frederick, he is most than qualified to lead the shepherds." Sumia laughed, with how much Cordelia mentioned Frederick one would think she loved him more than Chrom. "Hm? Whats so funny?"

"Oh nothing, it just seems you mention Frederick a lot."

Cordelia grew a tint of pink "W-Well it's just because he is technically second-in-command of the shepherds, so of course I would mention and respect him more than some of the others."

Sumia let a small laugh slip out before moving past the subject "Anyway, I'm pretty sure Robin was left in charge since he has more access to the public records should someone need something."

"I suppose that makes sense, but I still find it a bit confusing…Anyway what is he like?"

"Who?"

"Why the tactician Robin of course." Sumia grew a tint of pink herself before thinking.

"W-Well…He's very kind, i've never seen him get angry with anyone, not even the new recruits. His tactical mind is second to none, it's like he can actually see the battlefield in his mind; He has a good sense of humor and.." Sumia got choked on her spit before continuing "His voice is like a angel itself, his hands are soft despite the gloves and I swear one could get lost in his ever enchanting eyes…"

Sumia was a deep red before she stopped herself, she moved her face down only looking enough to see the sly smile on Cordelia "It sounds like you like him quite a bit."

Sumia just looked away expecting teasing before being hugged profusely by Cordelia, catching her off guard "C-Cordelia?"

"I'm happy for you Sumia! It's about time you found someone to be with! Especially since most of the guys when we were younger were just perverts trying to get after us!"

Sumia hesitated for a moment before returning the hug "Thank you Cordelia, although I'm still not sure I really like him."

Cordelia just rolled her eyes before turning around "Now come on lets go!"

Sumia looked at her with a confused look "Go where?"

Cordelia gave another sly smile "To let you introduce me to him of course!"
