Corrin was in awe as they approached Ylisstol, the capitals of Valla, Nohr and Hoshido were big but Yliesse's capital dwarfed them all, the great spires of Ylisstol seemed to pierce the heavens as they neared the gate people moved in a steady stream Corrin noted that they didn't completely clear the way for the royals they made just enough room for the group to get through, although Corrin suspected that it was Fredrick's presence alone that granted them this.
Once within the capital proper Corrin moved from store front to store front like an excited child as she did the populace around her gave her strange looks as she wasn't wearing any type of fashion they had seen before, a few mentioned how strange she seemed to be acting whilst others mentioned that she needed to be more modest when dressing, the royals and Shepards followed until they reached a cross road, when they did Sully informed Chrom that she would take Virion to the barracks and inform the others that he had returned, Chrom thanked her then turned back as he did he realized that they had lost Corrin.
Corrin quickly discovered that she was lost not that she minded she had the Yato so nobody posed too much of a threat however that didn't mean she wasn't concerned as she was now acutely aware that her glowy sender hadn't transferred funds to her or considering her money probably wouldn't have worked just given her some spending money… she was now reaching a state of acceptance that she was lost, broke and now hungry… as she made her way through the winding streets she was reminded of her first visit to Hoshido after the war, she had become separated from Hinoka and had caused such a scare that the Hoshidan military swept the city, she smiled at the memory and continued searching for her new companions.
As she rounded the corner she collided with someone, this someone had silver hair that she wore in a style that Corrin knew to be called Twin tails (A Hoshidan term if she remembered correctly) with deep violet eyes that left Corrin entranced, she had soft effeminate features accompanying her stunning looks she wore a tan shirt with matching trousers and knee high boots however what drew Corrin's eye more than her beauty was the coat she wore an all too familiar violet coat with lighter purple eyes going up the sleeves every instinct screamed at her to kill this woman but… she couldn't the woman…. Robin… looked as lost and scared as she had when she had first taken to leading her army.
Corrin held out her hand with a gentle smile while her inner dragon howled with fury "Sorry about that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" she resisted the urge to tense when Robin took her hand, the smile that accompanied the action didn't help "That's okay I wasn't really paying attention either… although I have a strange question… if you don't mind" She didn't seem dangerous but Corrin was experienced with traitors so she continued cautiously.
"Sure, it's the least I can do" Corrin had perfected the art of false smiling by this point and was exercising that skill as she spoke.
"Well… I was wondering if you knew where this is, who I am or anything like that" Robin asked these questions in quite a believable manor, either she was being genuine or she was quite the actress.
"Well I'm not really from around here so I can't answer some of those questions but let me ask you does the name Robin sound familiar to you." Corrin hated the fact that she was a kind hearted person; she had a chance to change everything right now but couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Hmm…yes that sounds familiar…" Robin looked to be deep in thought; before they could continue the conversation a familiar voice caught their attention.
"Corrin there you are! I… we were worried sick" Chrom smiled as he approached with Lissa and Fredrick in tow as they approached Robin stood behind Corrin shyly.
"Who's your friend?" Lissa asked peeking around Corrin to look at Robin.
"This is Robin and she's about as lost as I am, if you don't mind Chrom I think she could be of use to us and you're Shepards" Corrin spoke with a friendly tone however in her head she was in conflict with herself what are you doing! She's going to kill Chrom at some point and you're trying to help her, what is wrong with you Corrin? She only had a single response for her mental yelling I don't know!
"Well if you think she can be helpful then she can come with us" Chrom didn't seem to fazed by the request if anything he seemed in favour of it "I'm Chrom, this is Lissa and Fredrick glad to meet you"
Robin nodded shyly and stepped forward "It's nice to meet you Chrom…oh and you as well Lissa and you Fredrick" Corrin suddenly thought she had the wrong Robin as this one seemed shy, nervous and… kind of cute... Dammit Corrin stop being a needy dragon for like ten minutes! She normally chastised herself when it came to this kind of behaviour.
"Hey! I know why don't we go and see Em's parade before we go to the palace I heard someone talking about it on the way here!" Lissa smiled brightly and grabbed Corrin's hand leading her off towards a nearby avenue, Robin hastily followed while Chrom simply shrugged at Fredrick before joining the group, the stoic Fredrick however followed while keeping a close eye on Robin.
As they reached the grand avenue that ran through the middle of Ylisstol, which Corrin felt like a fool for missing, a troupe of Pegasus knights passed proudly showing the royal blue and white of the exalts house, following this display was one of the most beautiful and graceful people that both Corrin and Robin had ever seen, she wore her platinum blonde hair draped elegantly over her shoulders, she wore a long green cloak that hid her form and only allowed the slightest glimpse of her gorgeous frame to complete this ensemble she wore a very fitting golden halo headpiece that had a gap near the top and seemed more like a crown that sat behind her head rather than on it, while Robin was speechless Corrin barely formulated a sentence "So… that's the Exalt… your sister… huh…" Raging needy dragon mode Corrin STOP! For once she ignored that inner voice and simply stared at the Exalt.
"Yeah that's Emmeryn our sign of peace and possibly the greatest ruler Ylisse has had for a while" Chrom smiled as his sister looked to them knowingly before she moved on.
"Yeah she's also the greatest sister you could ask for" Lissa Chimed in waving as animatedly as she could.
"Wait… the Exalt is the ruler…right… that would mean… Oh gods I'm so sorryprinceChrom!" Robin bowed her head low as her face flushed.
"Yes so perhaps you should show slightly more res-" before Fredrick could finish Chrom cut him off "Just Chrom is fine, I've never been much for formalities." He smiled at Robin gently before speaking again "Would you like to come with us to meet her?" before he could finish his sentence Robin nodded, Chrom laughed and began to lead they're group towards the Palace.
