i really think that frederick and robin's support conversations were a missed opportunity. of the main cast, frederick is probably the person whose opinion of robin changes the most over the course of the game.

in the beginning, he is openly mistrustful and sometimes even slightly hostile towards robin. but by the end of the game, frederick believes in and is just as attached to robin as everybody else (despite the fact that he was actually... 100% correct in the end about robin posing a danger to chrom and not being what they seemed).

i was pretty bummed when their conversations ended up being mostly about trying unusual jerkies and jokes about frederick's fastidiousness.

apparently frederick used to serve as a de facto tactician for chrom before robin. that could have started interesting conversation. perhaps even a conversation of frederick feeling insecure about feeling replaced as chrom's "right hand man"?

even maybe just more insight into him coming around to robin. maybe bonding over realizing that whether robin is faking their amnesia or not, it's clear through robin's actions that they have goals in common: namely, keeping chrom and the other shepherds safe, even at their own expense.

similarly, robin's hands are bare when he first meets chrom (at least according to the cut scene) and the mark of grima is plainly visible... but the rest of the game, robin is in gloves/bracers that completely cover it.. how aware are the shepherds that robin has the mark? do all of them know? only that core group of chrom, lissa, and frederick? does robin cover the mark so much because they subconsciously know it's Bad or, at least, not a good thing to be flashing around?

one thing that they never really address in awakening (or at least i don't think they do...?) is that robin LOOKS very plegian. the clothes, the white hair, chrom mentioning that robin's name sounds foreign, the grimleal hand marking... if the shepherds are regularly dealing with plegian enemies and plegian politics such as the rise of grimleal cult, surely they'd KNOW robin looks plegian. do they just... keep their mouths shut about it? you would think the shepherds (especially the plegians who join up later) would have said something, especially if robin might have been looking for hints about their past.

i feel like there's room for potential angst there with chrom feeling like he's 99% certain robin is plegian and grimleal but keeping robin ignorant of that because he doesn't want robin to leave or even turn on him if robin knew they were plegian. and after all, if robin WERE faking the amnesia, they would already know their heritage anyway.

don't worry, chrom, i PROMISE nobody is thinking that
