' --- if you asked me to, i would lay my life for yours to be spared. i love you, robin. '

unprompted | ALWAYS ACCEPTING.

“Oh ... I love you too, dear—                      so much so that I couldn’t bear the thought of that.”

          Her hand reaches up to his face, and were they not the only two here, Robin probably would’ve been extremely embarrassed from how obvious her fondness is apparent on her face. It’s so typical of Chrom, to say something like that ...                                 She leans up to kiss him once ( just managing it on her tiptoes ) before dropping her hand, half leaning against his chest in what’s almost the start of a hug.                                                      “Promise me you’ll stay safe. I want to grow old ... together.”

“…” She’s trying so hard to think of a witty response. She’s trying so, so hard.                      “… Y … your … you should …” No. Nope, there really is nothing she can think of. He’s rendered her speechless.                                                                                  ( or, at least, sass-less. )

                    “… you’re lucky you’re cute …” Grumbles. She’s definitely not pouting, but she does take a glimpse around before giving him a quick peck on the cheek and making to scurry away before he has another smarmy retort for her—

' a little bird told me, it was someones special day. ' the prince voiced, as a soft - but tired, smile graced his features. ' i know it's nothing much, & even if you hate it -- i want to give this to you. ' a gloved hand reached forward, a small box laying flat on his palm - inside : a family heirloom, a necklace covered in multitudes of different precious gems. ' happy birthday, robin. i look forward to spending many more with you. '

“Oh—Chrom …”         She’s a bit surprised at the other’s appearance, having been going about her day in relative obscurity ( well—as obscure as she CAN be, being the army tactician ) and thinking that no one’s really noticed how much time that’s passed; hell, even SHE forgot the date today until a bit too late …         It’s not as though today is her real birthday, after all; she didn’t even remember when that is to begin with. It’s just … the anniversary of when she started a new life, essentially, with the Shepherds ( and, well, it was the birth of Ylisse’s new tactician isn’t it? ), and it means a lot, but celebrating it as her birthday …         Well, it’s too late for that, now that she’s been discovered, and it’s not as though she’s going to bore Chrom with all these unnecessary semantics—if anything, she’s pretty touched that he’s remembered her ‘birthday’, and the smile that forms on her face is completely natural.          “Thank you—that’s … so sweet of you.                  I could never hate a gift from …”

                                                     ( well, she doesn’t hate it. )“Chrom! This is—” A lot. Worth probably more than her own life. Too much.         “I … I couldn’t possibly accept this, this—                  This looks as though it’s worth more than our army’s entire savings!                           I—” Am incredibly flattered he’d even give this. Am wondering why he’d even give this.         “I … I’m certain you’d rather keep this for the future, for—                  for …” Someone else more worth it.                                                                Ahem.         “Thank you, Chrom, really, but I … I couldn’t.”
