Chapter 11 Secret Alliance

"Why don't you go ask Inigo?" Owain yawned. Lissa chuckled and ruffled her son's hair to which he winced.

"Because Chrom told him to go train after that skinny dipping incident which, fortunately for you, I find absolutely hilarious." Lissa smiled widely.

"Can't hold your breath more than a couple seconds? Did you know I can hold my breath for a minute?" Nowi took in a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks.

"Ah, I'd much rather you not." Lissa nervously patted the manakete's back "So what do you say?"

Owain only gave it a moment's thought before he burst forth from his chair. "I'm in! So how shall we take action? My hand twitches! Bring forth the plan!"

Nowi shoved the tall swordsman down, back to the chair. "So here's the plan, we've dug a hole and laid it over with leaves and sticks, we need you to lead him there."

"Me?" Owain pointed at himself. The two girls nodded. Owain proudly smiled, "I knew you needed me for something."

"Do you think it worked?" Lissa ducked behind some tents before she heard a scream. "Success!" The two girls ran out just to find Chrom looking into the pit. Nowi looked at Lissa both of their eyebrows arched in confusion.

"Are you alright?" Chrom asked reaching down to help. Owain chuckled nervously in response. "Wow, this hole is dangerous, I'll have it filled in right away. You might want to get your face looked at, there's a nasty cut." Chrom pointed.

"No scar is too much for Owain, the great! The magnificent!" Owain shouted as he struggled up the walls of the ditch and when he found he couldn't exactly climb it he took Chrom's hand.

"Are you alright?" Chrom asked again as he hauled him up.

"This is but a flesh wound, nothing can dampen my spirits! I will be ready for my next battle!"

Chrom stared at him and then nodded slowly. "Right."

Owain stared back at Chrom and then cleared his throat. "I'll go get something for face." Owain said before joining Lissa and Nowi.

"So that didn't work." He muttered.

"Clearly, you fell in instead of Chrom." Nowi pouted.

"Hey I lost track of the hole!" Owain sighed before they heard Chrom's voice behind them. The trio very slowly turned towards the Prince.

"Heh, oh hey bro." Lissa smiled sheepishly. "What are you doing here?"

"Over hearing a conversation apparently. Did you dig that hole?" He turned to Lissa who was silently smiling. "I'm… shoc- Did you really?"

"Yeah, got the shovel and everything."

"Wow, really? But that's a huge- I mean somebody could have gotten hurt, go fill it in. I need to see Robin, no more pranks!" He looked pointedly at all three of them before walking away.

Nowi cleared her throat "Isn't Robin taking a bath right now? Maybe somebody should warn him."

Lissa chuckled mischievously "I got a hole to fill in."

"Me too." Owain smiled "That hole being my stomach." He said as all three of them started to slowly walk away a wide smile spread on each of their faces.
