Bold is for attacks

Robin's POV

"Those are some big walls." Flavia sighed.

"This won't be easy." Basilio added.

"Don't worry." I smiled "I'm running the show, everything will go right according to plan."

We got ready to start the assault, things were going well, we broke the lines and infiltrated the fort, but not long after we were attacked from behind by soldiers who had turned on us, Revolutionaries who had been persuaded to fight for the Empire. We managed to fight them off with our forces, people like Tharja and Noire were helpful there.

In the end Chrom took out their leader and we had the fort, but we weren't sure for how long. The armies to the north and south had been defeated and the surviving soldiers were turning on us.

"We are surrounded." Say'ri said "And they are marching right for us…"

"Chrom…" I whispered.

"What is it?"

"We should go." I said "Right now!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Flavia asked "We're surrounded."

"If we're going to escape now is our best chance. Staying here will only get us killed." I told her.

"He is right." Say'ri sided with me "those who have betrayed us do so out of fear of the empire, when the master isn't watching the servants won't do much work."

"Exactly, we should get out know while we have the time." I said.

"We can't run forever." Chrom said "How are we going to turn this around?"

"We have to strike down Walhart or Yen'fay before they can join up." I explained.

"Either feels like a death sentence." Chrom sighed "One will be on us before we finish with the other."

"Then we attack both." I explained.

"Our forces are in tatters yet you wish to split us up?" Flavia gasped.

"I never said that." I groaned "Chrom will take the strongest to fight Yen'fay and a smaller force attacks Walhart."

"We couldn't even beat him with double." Basilio pointed out "Yet you want to send a smaller team?"

"Who's the tactician here?" I rolled my eyes "you only have to distract him, not defeat him."

"Give up some to buy time for many…" the older man mumbled "Crude but effective. I'll do it."

"This is serious." I said.

"I'm being serious, I like a challenge." He smiled.

"Okay…" I sighed.

"Bad jokes and bravado." Flavia shook his head "Expected from the buffoon."

"I'll make the preparations." Basilio said leaving.

"Wait!" Lucina ran in after he had left "You can't let Kahn Basilio go, he's going to die. I know it, it's the truth!"

"Huh?" Chrom looked at his daughter.

"Lucina don't go running into meeting like that." Owain sighed.

"You have a strange way of saying goodbye." Basilio said from behind the girl "So who's gonna kill me, Walhart? I hope it's him cause dying to some lame farmer would suck."

"Yes…it's him. Or so the story goes." Lucina frowned "Please Robin you must change your plans."

"I know enough." Basilio said "Don't change anything Robin."

"Alright." I looked at him.

"But I just-."

"Let him go." Owain told her "Someone has to do this."

"I didn't grown this handsome and old form running away all the time." Basilio laughed.

"No!" Lucina stomped her foot.

"Relax he'll be fine." Flavia said "I'll be guarding him."

"So you're coming."

"I still find it hard to believe that they aren't married." Say'ri whispered.

"I think that every day." I sighed "The two of you should be fine together."

"I'll bring him back in one piece." Flavia smiled.

"But you…"

"Trust in your Family." Owain told her "if you do that everything will work out."
