Robin couldn't help but think that yesterday had been weird. First, there has been that girl who reminded him strongly of Cordelia while bearing the name of the Hero King's legendary tactician, who had helped them defend Southtown from bandits before vanishing. Second, they had met a masked young man bearing the name of the Hero King himself and had saved Chrom and Lissa from a couple of undead warriors.

He half expected to bump into someone named Caeda or even Kris on the way back to Ylisstol, but no such thing happened.

Instead, Robin was forced to ponder his thoughts by himself. Reflet had laughed at him when he'd remarked the girl had reminded him of Cordelia and teased him by saying that he couldn't see Cordelia in every redheaded girl they came across. This was in spite of the fact that both Katarina's riding and lance technique were nearly identical to that of their friend. He couldn't talk to Chrom or Lissa either, despite their closeness. They would likely brush off his thoughts as coincidence.

Robin had wanted to ask Emmeryn for her opinion, but she had ordered the Shepherd's first official mission to venture to Regna Ferox to secure an alliance should Plegias bandit attacks escalate further, so there was no time. Perhaps he would talk to Frederick about it on the road. It was with good reason the man had earned the nickname "Frederick the Wary," as he was a very cautious and protective man. At the very least, he would take Robin's own thoughts seriously.

Regardless, the conversation would have to wait. The Shepherds finally had their first official mission, and Robin needed to be prepared.
