A knock at the door drew her from her thoughts as she turned to answer it. She was greeted with a set of dark hazel eyes meeting her own. "Oh- Robin. Do you need me for something?" she asked, immediately realizing whom it was. Robin was also one of the new comers to the mansion. He and his parallel, Reflet, came the same time as Lucina. While Robin was a male however Reflet was a female. And her mother.. Despite being parallels though Robin was younger than Reflet, around the same age as Lucina.

"I just saw you running down the hall and wanted to make sure everything was ok." He responded with a sweet smile. Robin paused a moment, suddenly studying Lucinas face almost intensely. "Hey your face is all red. Are you feeling Ill?" he asked, immediately shooting his hand to her head, gently pressing his palm to her forehead.

"Ah- I'm fine! Don't worry." Lucina sheepishly responded, half heartily pushing his hand off her head as she stepped back slightly.

However Robin didn't seem too fond of the answer as his eyes narrowed. He leaned in slightly, his forehead barely touching Lucinas. Back in their home the two were very close, practically dating for all anyone else knew. Though that changed when they came here, the two having a more or less sibling like relationship if anything. And Lucina was well aware that the male was able to read her like an open book. "What's his name?" he suddenly asked, inviting himself in.

Lucina watched Robin for a moment, unsure how to respond at the exact moment. Once Robin sat down on her couch and looked at her, she felt the pressure to answer him become even greater. She could always deny things cause the last thing she needed after just moving here was for Robin to pester her. But at the same time she knew that Robin had already figured out she was interested in someone.

"I don't have a crush on them. Just think they are- interesting." She spoke simply, shrugging her shoulders as she closed the door behind her, now facing the male.

"Fair enough." Robin laughed, leaning back now and resting his weight on his elbows. "You still didn't tell me who it is." He added. Lucina narrowed her eyes slightly. Damn tactician.

"Palutena." She muttered, not meeting the males eyes, though she did feel him looking at her.

There was a moment of silence, which felt much longer to Lucina before Robin finally spoke up. "She is pretty beautiful." He started in reply, a grin cracking onto his face. "You and her talk at all?" he added in question.

Lucina couldn't help breath a quick sigh of relief at how casual he was about this. "Not too much. But we did go to the arena today." She responded. Palutena did stay and talk a bit with the group the other day but because that was a group conversation she didn't really see a need to count that. Then there were hi's and bye's in the halls and what not.

Robin nodded his head. "Well you should talk to her more if you like- I mean find her 'interesting' he started, playfully mocking Lucinas previous choice of words. "You have to be a bit more social after all." He added, his features calming as a gentle smile now played on his face.

Lucina paused another moment before nodding in understanding. "Oh and Robin, can you uhm, not tell the others?" she started.

Robin waited a bit, as if expecting Lucina to add more. When she didn't he simply nodded his head in understanding. "Alright, I won't tell."

Lucina walked over, hugging her friend tightly. "Thanks." She said softly, earning a hug back from Robin.

"Hah yeah no problem. Just don't do anything stupid ya hear?" he mused, playfully mocking her once again, which then earned him a smack across the head.

•••

Once Robin left, Lucina checked once on the Falchion to make sure it was secure where it was before heading back out as well. A small huff escaped her lips as she realized she had yet to eat, deciding to make her first destination the kitchen.

The mansions kitchen was amazingly large, then again it had to be if it wanted to feed all the residents. The mansion had servants; which were better known as Miis. The Miis did all the work around the place from cooking to cleaning to general house care. However there appeared to be no one in here at the moment, the Miis probably on break since dinner wasn't for another few hours.

She saw another fighter who she knew as lucario also rummaging through the kitchen. The large canine like pokemon was hunched over an open drawer as he ravenously feasted upon a chocolate bar. She nodded a polite greeting as she began her search nearby.

"How do you like the place so far?" the gruff voice of the pokemon spoke. Ok well not spoke per say, but emitted in her mind. From what she understood, Lucario was able to use telepathy to communicate with others.

"It's very interesting to say the least. Spacious definitely. I do like it." She responded, turning away from the shelf and now facing the pokemon. She wasn't going to lie, at first she was nervous about moving into the mansion. However it was quick to get used to it. Everything the residents could want was inside, and if they wanted to go out there was the spacious courtyard and the Smash Town, to keep everyone entertained.

Lucario nodded in response, having no intention other to make small talk. "Glad."

If it was one thing Lucina was still not too used to was all the different kinds of people living here. There were humans like Mario and Samus. Elves like Link and Zelda. Pokemon like Lucario and Pikachu. Goddesses and Angels. A dog and duck, and many more. All living together fairly peacefully for no other reason other than that they were chosen for potential.

Lucina turned back and grabbed a small bag of chips, deciding she wasn't as hungry as she originally thought. Saying goodbye to the still feasting Lucario, Lucina took her leave. She had only made it half way down the hall when a sudden crash of green stopped her in her step, along with knocking her on the floor.

With an annoyed grumble she looked up to see who the hell bumped into her hard enough to knock her down. Not too much to her surprise it was Toon Link. The young boy looked truly horrified and apologetic. 'Aah- Lucina! Sorry!' he signed quickly. Toon Link was mute, meaning that he couldn't speak. Lucina was quick to pick up on enough sign language to understand the basics. While it wasn't required in the Mansion it was more or less a decency to communicate with their house-mate.

"Oh it's fine, don't worry about it." She started, smiling softly as she got up.

'Are you ok?' he signed now slowly, a sheepish grin playing on his face.

Lucina nodded in response after she was able to register what was said to her. "Yeah don't worry." She mused. Her attention shifted as another male approached.

"Toon, were you running in the halls again?" Link sighed, walking up and resting a hand on the other Links head.

Toon Link sheepish smile turned into an annoyed frown as he shook his head to get Links hand off. Then shook his head again defensively. 'Pit chased me here. We were playing tag.' He signed quickly, crossing his arms when he was done.

Link raised a brow. "Is that so? Fair enough. Say you're sorry before you go though." He sighed, motioning with his head towards Lucina.

'Sorry.' Toon Link signed, looking down as the sheepish grin from before came on his face.

"Hah it's fine. Please be careful next time though." Lucina responded, earning a nod from the young boy before he ran off again. And sure enough Pit was not far behind, being sure to fly over the two as to not repeat his friends mistake.

"Kids. What can you do?" Link sighed as the two boys disappeared into the deep hallway. Before Lucina could think of a response however he continued. "By the way I saw your battle with Palutena earlier, or rather part of it. You two looked pretty good." He started before pausing awkwardly. "I mean looked good fighting, you're both strong!" he quickly added. When players were fighting the white room turned into somewhat of a movie room. The battle was displayed on a screen on the other side of the room that anyone could watch if so they chose.

"Ah- thank you! She's pretty dang strong." Lucina started, her thoughts traveling back to her earlier battle. She felt that feeling in her stomach again when she remembered Palutenas wink, her fingers tensing slightly before relaxing once more.

"Yeah definitely. I had fought her when she first joined the Mansion, before you and I met. She called it a 'Divine Intervention' or something. I was having a battle with Pit previously." Link started. "Looks like she has improved quite a lot, as have you though." He added, now smiling.

"I don't think I've improved thaaat much." Luncina responded modestly. She did however know that she improved her fighting skills a fair amount since coming to the Mansion. Even Chrom said so.

Link chuckled at this. "Oh shush you. I've battle you enough to see your improvement." He mused, bringing a hand to his hip and his other hand waving in the air nonchalantly.

The two continued in casual conversation, both wordlessly deciding to head towards the common room. Once there however Lucina paused mid step, setting her foot as she stared in the room. Link almost didn't notice, the movement so subtle. Sitting near the window across the room was of course none other than Palutena. Noticing the arrival of the two, Palutena stood up, walking with an almost inhuman grace towards the two.

"Oh hey Palutena." Link started with his signature cutesy grin. "How's it going?" he asked. "I saw your battle with Lucina earlier today by the way. You both fought really well." He added, motioning to Lucina as he mentioned her name.

Lucina however was only half focused on what he was saying. Her gaze was strongly fixated on the female in front of her. Palutenas hair looked freshly washed and she was wearing high wasted blue jeans and a white crop top. The clothing gave focus to her legs and curves, drawing Lucinas eyes for longer than she intended.

Luckily Palutena seemed to be paying attention to her conversation with Link. "Oh thank you. Lucina is a very formidable opponent." She spoke, Lucinas attention snapping back when she heard her name.

"Ah thank you. You're a real pleasure to fight." Lucina quickly responded. "I do look forward to versing you again." She added, a soft smile finishing her sentence.

Palutena seemed to paused a moment before a wide smile played on her features. "Like wise." She started. "By the way. I hope you don't mind if I steal her for a bit." She said, now turning to Link. Lucina noticed that same teasing flash in her eyes she always seemed to have, though her mind was busy wondering why she was needed.

Now it was Links turn to pause before he quickly nodded. "Nah- of course not I don't mind." He was quick to respond, stepping back.

Palutenas gaze rested on Lucinas. "I was thinking we can just hang a bit." She said simply. Though it almost sounded like she was holding something back. Probably cause Link was still here.

The blonde seemed to catch the hint, figuring it was something like 'girl-talk' or whatever. "Hey I'll catch you two later." He spoke as he took his leave, Lucina calling a good bye after him as Palutena waved.
