"Lucina?"

Both Robin and Chrom had noticed when she'd slipped away from camp, and after a silent conversation of concerned expressions, Robin had followed.

"Robin? I... was just watching the sunset, and thinking," Lucina replied. "About things."

Robin nodded. It was a trap he'd fallen into himself on more than once occasion, if they were the sorts of things he was guessing warranted a wander away from the others.

"Anything you want to talk about?"

"Probably," Lucina said after a moment. There was a strange smile on her face, painted in the fading day's red and gold. "If I'm not keeping you from..."

"We'll go back to him when you're ready."

"Ah-- Of course. I..."

The last bit of the day's light was nearly purple by the time Lucina finished, but Robin wasn't concerned. Yes, Lucina had been thinking, and yes, it had warranted a wander.

He wasn't sure what to say, but the look Lucina gave him suggested that he didn't need to say anything.

"We should get back," Lucina said quickly. "Thank you for listening."

"Any time," Robin replied. He meant it. And without thinking, he reached for Lucina's hand.

Her surprise was apparent but...

She reached back.
