The Silver Star Awakens

IX

With two gemstones in the shield he had with him, Chrom knew there were three more of the gemstones to go before the binding shield had all five of them. As she sat gathering flowers with Tiki, Rosemarie thought of Dimitri. "I'm fairly certain Dimitri misses me, Lambert & Crystal. He's probably also wondering why he can't find us anywhere in the kingdom.", she thought as they continued to gather flowers. Since they'd been married for several years, she knew it was natural Dimitri deeply missed her, Lambert & Crystal. But they wouldn't be able to return home until Grima either fell or was put into a deep sleep for a thousand years by the Falchion, so their job wasn't done just yet. However, Rosemarie had faith she'd be able to reunite with Dimitri soon. Tiki looked up and noticed her spacing out. "Rosemarie.", she said to her, snapping her out of thought. "Sorry, Tiki.", she replied and they stood up with the picked flowers in their hands. As they walked back to their allies, they noticed Gerome fighting with Inigo about their love for Noire & Lucina. "Face it, Gerome! I know you love Noire just like how I feel about Lucina! Don't you dare think I haven't seen the way you're speaking to her!", he said. "Damn it, Inigo! I don't need you to spy on me when I'm around Noire!", he replied. Nerve wracked by this, Rosemarie walked away with Tiki. "What was that about? Why is Gerome fighting with Inigo?", she asks her. "They fell for Noire and Lucina just last week and aren't very happy with each other about it because Gerome felt that way about Lucina before she chose Inigo.", she replied. "What about the others?", she asks. "Well, Morgan is fairly happy with Nah. Brady feels better around Cynthia while Owain can't seem to keep himself away from Kjelle. Severa is comfortable being near Laurent and I believe once the war ends, Yarne will leave and explore until he finds another girl to settle down with.", she replied before their allies emerged from the fortress they'd entered.
