"Robin!" Sumia stopped him while he was running back to his tent. He quickly slapped his hand to his neck. "O-oh. Greetings, Sumia. What can I do for you?"

She noticed his uneasiness and felt a little awkward. "U-uh, it's just We haven't done anything today. I saw you in Chrom's tent so I thought you'd have our day planned out.  I came to ask you so I can be ready in advance!" she beamed.

"We haven't come to an agreement yet..." he rubbed his neck, "b-but as soon as we know an announcement will be made. Just be ready to move out as usual." he started to walk away but she grabbed his hood and pulled him back. He became startled, jumping up.
"W-what?"

"Why do you keep covering your neck? What happened?" she asked in a concerned voice.

"Don't worry. Just a mishap in sparring earlier. I'll treat it myself." he walked away before she could respond.

Finally in his tent, he sat down on his bed. Damn Chrom! He'd have to hide this for a few days. Robin picked up a book and started to read. Only a few pages in, he heard someone approaching. Quickly he went under his sheets and closes his eyes, pretending to be asleep. Frederick walked in, he squeezed his eyes shut.

"I'm sorry to wake you. Milord is calling all of the Shepherds to a meeting for our next move, he specifically requested your attendance."

"I will be there, just give me a moment to wake up. Thank you, Frederick."

Robin got up, collecting himself. He didn't want to walk around covering his neck for the entire meeting, so he wrapped it up in bandages. It'll be easier to explain he got hurt rather than what actually happened.

"Shepherds!  Thank you for attending." Chrom greeted his allies, as they smiled in recognition. "As you all know, there are Risen around us. Before we go out and just attack them, our Tactician suggested scouting to see how many are actually out there. I wouldn't want to send two or three of you in case you get attacked,  so I would appreciate it if all of you went as a group."

"Captain!" Sumia raised her hand, "What will you be doing?"

"Robin and I will stay here to discuss further plans. I trust you all well enough on your own without me having to watch you. Frederick will be in charge in case any questions come up."

"Understood, Captain! I'll try not to fall on my face! You'll surely be proud!"

"Good." he responded, "Now if there are no further questions...Shepherds,  move out!"

Robin laid under Chrom, as usual. They were in his tent, just finishing their...meeting.

"This was a wonderful idea, my love. It pains me to see you hide your neck though.  My marksmanship was perfect."

"Nng...You need to learn to get out of the habit of crushing me after we do this. Or go on a diet."

"Sorry, dear." Chrom kissed Robin's cheek and got up. "It feels so freeing to be without clothing. Want to take a trip to the bath house together? After that you could use a little clean up." he laughed.

Robin blushed and covered himself with the blankets. "Alright. Let's go together."
