Robin sat with Lissa in the Shepards' garrison soon after they arrived in Ylisstol. She was having tea with the other female shepards.
"Why didn't you tell me you and Chrom were of royal blood?" Robin asked. "Now I feel kind of embarrassed."
"Oh darling, you SHOULD be embarrassed." Maribelle chuckled, as she sipped her tea.
"Maribelle!" Lissa yelled.
"What? I am simply stating the facts. I cannot believe that this woman could not tell that you are royalty. You are perfect in every way, as a princess should be, no?" Maribelle explained, as she left the table, clearly angry.
"Don't take it to heart, Robin. Maribelle just needs a little bit of time to warm up to people, that's all." Sumia assured her.
"Boy, am I starting this day on the wrong foot…" Robin sighed.
"What are you talking about? You were amazing out there! You were like "BAM!" with your tomes and then you totally struck down those things with your sword!" Lissa commented loudly.
"Oh how amazing it must be to go on a mission…" Sumia sighed.
"Oh yeah! And we met the most mysterious guy ever! For some reason, I find those reserved and quiet types really dreamy…" Lissa swooned.
"Marth's got a fan girl already, huh?" Robin coughed. "I have to admit though, his swordsmanship sure is fascinating."
"Come on, Robin! You can't just like a guy for their swordsmanship!" Lissa groaned. "You're too obsessed with skills…"
"And you sure can't like a guy just for their "mysteriousness", Lissa. And besides, I'm just admiring his technique is all. He kinda fights like Chrom actually." Robin laughed.
The three heard a knock on the door. Robin feared it was Maribelle again.
"Enter." Lissa said.
"I hope I'm not interrupting your tea-time, ladies." Chrom greeted as he entered the room.
"Oh, Captain!" Sumia squealed as the prince set foot in the room. She got up, but tripped after taking her first step. "…Ow."
"Sumia, are you alright...Those boots of yours again, I presume?"
Sumia slowly got up, and said in a clearly embarrassed tone, "Yes…er, I mean no!"
It would be easier to find Kellam than think that Sumia didn't like Chrom; she obviously was falling for him (bad joke, not sorry J).
'Sumia's so cute when it comes to Chrom…' Robin thought as she giggled at Sumia's behaviour.
After a short pause, Chrom finally told them, "…so, what I was going to say was that we are planning an expedition to Regna Ferox. With Plegia's threats on the rise and this new "Risen" threat, we need their help."
"…Excuse me, but what is 'Regna Ferox?'" Robin asked.
"It's a kingdom just north of here." Sumia answered. "I heard it gets very cold up there."
"You're damned right it gets cold up there!" Vaike shouted as he busted the door open. "But it's nothin' good Ol' Teach can't handle!" Vaike held his axe up high. Robin could tell Vaike was a kind of cocky, but not too boastful (at this point).
Chrom looked at Vaike with an annoyed look on his face. "Vaike, what did I tell you about randomly entering rooms? I TOLD you to wait outside…"
Vaike whined. "Aw, come on, Chrom! Why do I gotta stay outside when you're indoors flirting with the ladies? That's not fair! The ladies love The Vaike too, don't they?"
"No, they don't." Lissa replied, quite bluntly as she pushed Vaike out the door. "Now just let my brother finish what he was saying!"
"…Anyways, you don't have to go on the mission, as it is voluntary. Just giving you a heads up before I leave tomorrow morning." Chrom finished.
"Chrom, count me in!" Robin and Lissa replied in unison. "…Oh, and Sumia said she wants to go to, Chrom!" Lissa added.
"What? But I…" Sumia stuttered as her face flushed red. "But…I would just be in the way, captain!"
"Nonsense." Chrom replied. "We'd be glad to have you join us on our expedition, Sumia! Don't fret, you'lll be fine." The prince left the room happily.
Sumia buried her face into the table after Chrom left. "Oh gods why…"
"You're welcome!" Lissa chuckled. Robin didn't want to, but she also started laughing along with Lissa. "Oh come on, it's cute!"
"Oh boy, I wonder how this will go…"
