Corrin sits beside her fellow dragon, who is also named Corrin. The latter often goes by Kamui as to prevent confusion between the two - by the time the two Robins thought of doing that, everyone had already adapted to referring to the both of them as Robin.
"We have to go next," Kamui tells the other. "Since we share a spot, only one of us has to go, right?" He asks. Corrin nods in reply.
Kamui stands up. "I'll go, then, since you fought last time."
"Alright," says Corrin. "Have fun!"
As Kamui makes his way to the portal room, he turns back and smiles at the other before wishing her a farewell.
Corrin relaxes a little, but her muscles soon tense up when she's squeezed from behind.
"Ah-!"
"I've been looking for you!" says a childish voice, causing Corrin to remove the arms from around her and look back.
She sees a young angel with a smile on his face. "And you are. . .?"
"Pit!" replies the angel, raising himself higher and lower with the tips of his feet.
"Hello, Pit. I'm Corrin," says Corrin with a gentle smile equipped.
"I already know that," Pit tells her, "Since I've been looking for you."
"Why have you been looking for me?" Corrin asks him, worry forming and her stomach sinking.
"I want you to teach me how to read and write!"
"What?" Corrin furrows her eyebrows. "Why me, and why so sudden? I'm sure there's someone around that can teach you better than I can."
"I want you to do it!" says Pit, allowing Corrin to see that he has little reason behind most of the things he does. "And to keep it a secret!"
"Alright," says Corrin. I won't question it. He's being genuine, she thinks. Being raised in isolation, she knows little of con artists and tends to do things without question.
"We can just meet here every now and then," Pit says, planning to wing it.
"But how do I know when 'every now and then' is?" asks Corrin. With no response from Pit, she takes the initiative. "We'll just meet here every time there's a match?"
"Sure, that works!" Shouts Pit, prancing away. Though excited to start, it appears that he isn't going to start now.
I wonder why he wants to know how to read, thinks Corrin. Well, I guess he doesn't have to have a reason, really. It's a good skill to have. She turns back to the screen to watch the match.
This'll be fun.
