Shanzira and (Male) Robin: B Support.
It's been a few days, but I still can't figure out for the life of me what was up with Robin a while back. Seriously, that was some bad acting on his part. Was he in a fight...?
Hello, opportunity! He's right there! By his tent, about to leave!
POUNCE! "Hey, Robin!"
He would have jumped, I suspect, if I hadn't tackled him to the ground. "SH-SHANZIRA! GODS BLESS IT! What is wrong with you?!" My, he's handsome. Nice close-up I got here. "What do you want?"
Ah, he finally got to business. "Remember when you had me straighten your coat? I wanna know how it got like that." I kick my legs in the air to emphasize that he is not going anywhere anytime soon.
"Training accident," he blurts haphazardly. Why do I not believe that? Blades mean fabric would get cut. No fabric cuts. No blades.
I pick up both his hands to see if any parts of him are bruised. "Sure you did. Why're there no bruises or cuts, then?"
"Er," wow, he's really on an off day. "I just... Okay, I got into a bit of a, uh, wrestling match with Chrom–"
He stops at the look on my face. Wrestling. Like bros. I'm so jealous. My flat-eyed stare turns into a frown and I sit back down. "Ah, I wish my sister would do that with me again. I'm jealous. Maybe I've just been holding everyone at arm's length."
He pauses to think. "Well... I, since I lost all my memories, I don't really have much choice other than to tie myself tightly to the people who helped me. You're not an amnesiac, so..."
"Yeah, I have a history with people." Kinda depressing, the way I'm saying this. "The culture I was raised in doesn't let people be very affectionate, and I'm rather picky about who I befriend, because I'm constantly afraid of betrayal."
He looks back at me and hesitates before speaking. "I won't betray you."
"You're an undeveloped entity, I can't trust that." ... What the hell was that? I know exactly what he's going to become, and I'm still... this is bullshit.
Why am I still holding him back?
"True, but I trust you, even if you don't trust me." What. Okay, what the– he has a completely straight face. He's entirely serious. Dear Naga. That's... selfless. That takes balls. I gotta hand him my respect for that.
... I don't know how, really. Um, let's improvise...
Uh...
I'm stuck? Anxiety? Nerves? Hello?
"Hello?" Oh that sounded like my thoughts– "Shanzira? Are you all right?"
Oh. Just Robin. "Er. Yeah. Kinda moment for a froze there. I do that."
"You moment for a froze." Oh naga, tell me I didn't say that. "I think you mean you froze for a moment."
"Yeah," I'm wiping my forehead with my hand. "Sorry. I'll just, um, leave you be. See you." And finally, the escape button functions.
...
What the hell even happened in that conversation?
Author's notes: I'm sleepy. Doing these because I want to come up with a confession line for Shanz and then dub it on Tumblr. Also might be fun to draw the thing. idk.
