But it was the motherload of all accidents.
Lucina had sworn to change the future, yes. That was her duty. Her promise to Naga, and to her people. She’d debated working from the shadows, but could that really protect her father? No, most likely not. The easiest and quickest way would be to join the Shepherds and tell them as much as she could.
Well…maybe not the easier route. After all she had just let one her more…unnecessary secrets slip.
Robin, the silver headed tactician that she knew to be a brilliant woman and the best strategist in the world (okay yes maybe she was a little biased but that WAS her mother after all), had a look of utter shock and disbelief on her face.
“W-what do you mean ‘mother?’ ” she asked softly. “I thought you were Chrom’s daughter.”
“She is. She has the brand in her eye.” Chrom said, looking just as confused as Robin was. Yes Robin was beautiful and…sure he had had…some thoughts on the matter buuut…SHE didn’t think of HIM like THAT. Right?
“W-what do you m-mean Moth- I mean Robin.” Lucina laughed nervously.
Robin crossed her arms across her chest, shifting her weight to mostly one foot. “Uh-huh. No, you definitely called me ‘mother.’ I..”
Chrom zoned out as Robin continued to grill Lucina for information on her slip up. But was what she said true? Was Robin really Lucina’s mother?
“Robin.” Chrom’s lips moved faster than his head. That seemed to happen a lot around Robin. Oh well.
The tactician turned to him with a small pout. “Yes, Chrom?”
“Uh…there isn’t…uh…anything you want to….tell me…is there?”
Robin stiffened slightly, her cheeks flushing red. “W-what? No. Nooo, absolutely not!”
That was definitely a lie. Even a fool could see that. Unfortunately, when it came to women, Chrom was less than clueless.
“O-oh. I-I see.” He scratched the back of his neck.
Lucina regarded the scene uncomfortably. Honestly, she couldn’t believe that Robin and Chrom were so…awkward? She recalled them being very open with their love for each other. Doting even.
But she couldn’t interfere in this. Right?
“I-I mean…you are kind of…awkward. it’s kind of…funny…to w-watch.” Robin muttered. Her blush deepened and she coughed. “I suppose it could b-be labled as c-cute.”
“O-oh?” Chrom nodded. “I-I see. And I d-do think your strategies are especially genius. Like the woman that came up with them.”
Lucina let out an audible sigh. “Gods you two are hopeless…” she muttered under her breath.
“Hey!” Chrom and Robin yelped. Lucina snorted.
“Okay. I’m leaving you two to sort this out. I can’t say anymore. As it is, I wasn’t supposed to say THAT.”
“HOLD ON JUST A SECOND YOUNG LADY!” Chrom shouted, giving chase to Lucina.
“LUCINA COME BACK HERE!” Robin followed Chrom. Lucina sprinted a little faster, laughing.
Perhaps this was how her parents got together initially. After all, time travel was a funny thing.
