Chapter 2 Complications
"You have got to be joking me." Lon'qu frowned and his jaw tightened as he looked at Chrom, watching him as he grabbed a couple lances from the training ring and walked towards the weapons tent. "You aren't serious are you?"
Chrom organized the lances on the stand and turned to face the swordsman. "It can't so bad, Lon'qu." He took in a deep breath and crossed his arms. "It's just Cordelia, you know her. Don't be so scared."
"It's not that simple!" Lon'qu grunted as he paced. "She's a woman."
"And asking a man to marry you is simpler?" Chrom chuckled. Lon'qu growled and started to pace back and forth. "Which begs the question, why are you so… terrified of women?"
"I'm not terrified!" Lon'qu exclaimed. "I just don't prefer to be near them. It's complicated."
"Ironic how you're asking one to marry you." Chrom smiled widely, crossing his arms. Lon'qu growled again. "Look, if you love each other then it shouldn't be hard; you can do it. Did you get the ring?"
Lon'qu was quiet before he gave a small nod and showed it to the Prince, he then cleared his throat and then put it back into his pocket. "You asked Olivia to… marry you. How did you do it?"
"Oh for the sake of the gods, if you can't ask her just get down on one knee and show her the ring, she'll understand." Chrom sighed. "It'll be fine."
"What will be fine?" Cordelia smiled as she entered the tent, practice swords in hand. Lon'qu instantly tensed at her presence. He looked around and cleared his throat loud enough for both of them to hear.
"I should cook dinner." He said slowly and then made for the door but Chrom grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey Cordelia, Lon'qu wants to ask you something." He smiled and then patted his friend's shoulder, whispering in his ear. "Good luck."
Lon'qu gritted his teeth and watched as the little Prince closed the flap behind him. His hand fingered the small box in his pocket before he turned to the red head who was intently looking at him.
