        he’s staring right back... but in a more confused manner.

@mismatchedmajora​ said: offers robin some raw frog legs. a crunch can be heard from behind the mask. yum!

        now robin’s seen and eaten many of weird things in his life time, and while raw frog legs are certainly not one of the worst on his list, it’s still enough to unnerve him at the thought of eating them.

       “oh, uh--- n-no thank you, i’m not very hungry at the moment.” his tone is somewhat quiet but polite all the same, hoping not let his discomfort show too visibly. though that crunch behind such an chilling mask certainly isn’t making that job any easier.

        yum definitely isn’t how he would describe it.

@breidabllk​ said: BodySLAMS INTO HIM and just lays uptop him

        he’s not even given the opportunity to react--- whether it be to dodge their oncoming assault, or simply prep himself for it better--- so here the tactician is, laying beneath the summoner with a wheeze escaping him.

       “h-hello kiran...”

@ssinisterservant​ said: E, H, T (for the valentine's ask)

valentines day alphabet! --- accepting

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

*:･ﾟ✧ robin looooves hugs! he’s pretty touch/affection starved, so it can’t be helped really. his hugs are usually pretty soft; the comforting type of hugs. ofc it changes depending on the scenario, but that’s just how they generally are.

H   :   HEART.   is your muse quick or slow to give their heart away?

*:･ﾟ✧ pretty slow, tbh. he can fall fast, but it would honestly take him a looooong time to really,,, do anything abt it. oops. he just figures there’s more important things to go after.

T   :   TRUE LOVE.   does your muse believe in true love?

*:･ﾟ✧ mmmmm good question! i wanna say yes, but i can’t really think of a way to really go into it... he just. does!

@seekswrath​ said: 'My apologies. I didn't know my own strength and accidentally tore one of your tomes. I'll pay for it, I swear".

        beneath the surface does frustration bubble within the tactician, yet it’s somehow managing to be pushed aside by the far more evident bewilderment at the situation at hand. it... certainly seemed that the prince did in fact, manage to tear one of his tomes. straight in half. right down the spine of it. were it any other text, perhaps robin wouldn’t seem so surprised, but he knew how thick these tomes could be and frankly... it was impressive, alongside incredibly concerning.

        he can only pray dimitri and chrom would never cross paths.

       “i feel as though i should be more preoccupied figuring out how you managed to do such... though, i will make sure you keep to your word.”

[morningtomes]

slAPS YOU, hi I forgot what your muse was from but we should interact, slAPS YOU AGAIN

*:･ﾟ✧ HI its okay!! he’s robin from fire emblem, but i can write him in fire emblem: awakening, fire emblem heroes, and smash bros ultimate verses. or just any verse i can manage to throw him into, im v flexible.

@jasperlion said: "... you got BIG." was probably the last thing he was hoping would tumble from his jumbled brain and out his mouth as he stared at the behemoth of a six-eyed beast before him— the creation which he had hoped would have remained within the confines of Thabes if it ever woke again after their... meeting. Askr... sure had ways of reuniting folks, alright. [ @ gwima ]

              “YOU.”

        maw gapes, yet does not move in sync with the words leaving at near deafening volume. there’s a rumble rising from the colossal dragon as his head lowers closer to alm, six eyes of ruby narrowing down at him--- big indeed grima has grown, though time most certainly has passed since their last encounter (to which the other seems to not have changed at all, though it’s no surprise to him), but the difference was as massive as he had become overtime.

             “THE BRAT FROM THABES... OH HOW PUNY YOU AND THAT DAMNED BLADE HAVE BECOME.”

        spat like venom in a near mocking display--- just how long had it been since then? while it was no difficult feat to crush him then within his maw, it certainly would be just as easy now with how much he toppled over top the hero--- were it not for the contract forged when summoned to this world protecting alm in this moment, surely not even falchion could save him from the dragon’s wrath. truly alm was a lucky man to be before the dragon and have no threat to his life for a second time.

        not yet, anyway.

@bowserjrandfriends said: "Hey, Robin! What are you reading all the time in that book you carry? Show me! Is it interesting? Does it has drawings?" Junior asked as he approached the fighter curiously. ( hello! uwu )

       “oh--- hello, bowser junior.” well, color this tactician surprised! last thing he expected was to be approached by the small koopa prince--- especially considering it was about his tomes of all things, but he supposes it was just his natural, childish curiosity. besides, it’s not like age stopped other competitors from asking about them.

       “they’re tomes,” robin says with a smile, bending down to his height and opening the book in question--- it was his trusty arcfire! “they’re books that allow me to use magic, basically. there are some drawings within them, but they’re mainly text--- which is not easy to read for those unfamiliar with magic.” as he said, the current pages opened held mainly unrecognizable text with a single sigil towards the bottom right corner.

       “they’re interesting to me, but generally it depends on who you ask--- most would find them boring, or can’t figure out their usage themselves, i’ve found.” okay, sure--- maybe he’s gloating a little bit about his prowess with the tomes in question, but it was true! “i must ask, if you don’t mind--- what’s brought on this curiosity about them?"

@storiesinstardust said: "Hey, your hood's pretty comfy. Hard to compete with my backpack, but your hood's pretty close." -Kazooie (//:'D)

        what the--- when did she get there---?! and how did she manage it without him noticing?! color robin surprised when suddenly hearing the breegull right behind him, especially so when he’s jumping slightly from being caught off guard. he knew he had a tendency to zone out sometimes, but never this bad...!

       “er--- i suppose that’s a good thing?” he’s trying to keep--- or regain rather, his composure after being softly startled. well, at least she wasn’t heavy enough to weigh him down too much... he supposes he can let it slide just this once--- but not without drawing some kind of line, of course.

       “i don’t mind you being there kazooie, but... would you please ask first? or at the very least--- let me know you’re there before trying to make my heart stop?”

[morningtomes]

"Daddy! Daddy, daddy, daddy!" Here today, we see Morgan literally clinging to her Father's leg and begging him for attention. He said he'd play with her, yet he's been in his study all day! Wouldn't let her in to do anything either! So when he finally emerges, a package in his hands, Morgan wastes no time in hounding him. It was only when he stopped kneeled down to her level that she just stopped and stared. Even more so when he handed her the package! "Is this mine? Can I open it?"

        clinging to his leg and begging for his attention was understatement of the century. maybe it was the promise of playing that was his downfall— too late now, he supposes. not that he minds of course, he could let morgan slide with things like this.

       he couldn’t blame her really, with how attached to him she seemed— and yet he hid himself away from her most of the day! how cruel! but it was for a reason, but even then it still pained his heart. see— robin was aware of just how attached his daughter was to him, and how often she tried to learn from him to be just like him. to be blunt, it was adorable— and it was something he couldn’t just not acknowledge outside of words.

       which leads to the present scenario of him knelt before the daughter in question, packaged present held out to her with a grin on his visage. “yep.” he confirms brightly with a nod. “it’s yours, morgan. go right ahead and open it!”

       it’s hard to tell which of the two seemed more excited, honestly, for this gift was special— it was his tactician’s cloak! well, a handmade recreated version of it anyway, but made specifically for morgan! she did consistently want to be like him after all, especially with the similar knack for tactics, as well as her general interest in constantly wanting to wear his all the time— it only seemed fitting that she had her own version to match his!

       suffice to say, robin’s excited, for he knows just how happy it will make morgan, and the thought makes him happy.

@cosmcther said: "Do you think I would benefit from using a type of tome? Your magical items always fascinated me, and I'm always looking to broaden my outlook. And vice versa, have you ever tried magic with a wand? It's like a funnel for those with innate magical prowess, giving your abilities a focal point when moving outward. Would you ever like to have a go at it?"

       “i’m not sure, to be completely honest with you.” his tone is blunt much like his words, yet that does not signify disinterest in her queries--- he feels the exact opposite, actually. he knows rosalina is a powerful being--- one who could rival the gods of his home realm, that much is certain, yet her interest in her tomes despite her own natural power couldn’t help amusing the tactician quite a bit. “though i have no doubt you would be able to use them to their maximum extent--- after a few practice runs, of course.”

        it’s a smile that’s forming on robin’s visage as he speaks. it’s an incredibly soft teasing aimed towards rosalina; there’s not a single doubt in his mind that she’d very quickly come to understand how his tomes worked and use them just as proficiently as he can, as unnecessary as it may be for her to use them in the first place. but next inquiry has smile dropping and expression generally shifting to that of curiosity--- it wouldn’t be wrong to think his head tilts just slightly to the side in thought.

       “no, i haven’t--- i don’t believe there’s anything like that back in ylisse to utilize in such a way.” of course that’s under the assumption that he would know how to control his magic with it in the first place, though now it’s not something he doesn’t have a slight interest in. he can’t help thinking it would be a bit silly to project his magic in such a way however, after using and controlling the elements he commonly wields with his bare hands for as long as he can remember. it felt more natural; the sensation of magic spurring in open palm before being cast to it’s target was such second nature to the tactician that the mere thought of preforming in other ways was almost a bit unnerving.

        silence reigns the air as he silently thinks to himself, considering the offered opportunity in question--- he was never one to turn down learning new things after all, but it was certainly something he wanted to think about before coming to a rather impulsive decision. “i don’t see why not. it can’t cause much harm, i’m sure.” robin finally speaks with that small smile returning to him, as well as his naturally playful tone and general attitude.

       "truth be told,” he begins after a small moment of quiet, smile growing a bit sheepish but remaining genuine all the same. “i’ve been quite interested in you, as well as what you can do, so it would be foolish of me to deny this kind of opportunity. that being said, if you’d like, i’m more than willing to teach you how my tomes work--- it wouldn’t be the first time for me, so i don’t mind.”

[morningtomes]

Gives her dad a huge heckin' smooch on the cheek!

        gasp! how dare she sneak attack her own father like this!

        though, morgan must be quite the fool to think she could do this without him counterattacking with a big ole cheek smooch of his own— which is precisely what robin’s doing!!

       nothing can stop him!

@schemingdeer said: "I could say that two great minds think alike, but I'm pretty sure that'd be just a tad too cliche for both of our tastes. Instead, allow me to say this: Askr's about to have one giant feast on their hands."

       “is that so?” it’s a sheepish chuckle leaving the tactician at the other’s declaration--- honestly, it’d be hard to say he doubted claude’s words. with how much robin’s heard of the other’s scheming tendencies, it was hard to get a guess on just how tactical his mind was--- though it does take a lot of mental strength to go through with aforementioned schemes successfully, so it was something of a start.

        regardless, robin wasn’t going to be one to underestimate his companion’s capabilities--- especially not with wording like that. askr was already a bit of a mess at times with other heroes and their shenanigans (summoner included!), so gods could only imagine what could happen with him added into the mix.

        “perhaps just a bit cliche, but it does not deter my intrigue regardless.”

@willdcard said: "Hit me, and I'll try and give you a good birthday present."

BIRTH!!! | accepting!

       “hit you...?” admittedly the request had the tactician concerned--- who willingly wants to get hurt, by robin of all people especially? he knew at this point whacking people with his tomes had become a joke (while still remaining a genuine threat--- man did it hurt!) in it’s own right but... was akira some kind of shameless masochist...? sweat can’t help forming on his brow.

       “why would hitting you get me a birthday present...?” he’s suspicious. there’s no way something good could come from this.

[morningtomes]

grima would you use your kid as a living shield against the shepherds

       “if it were to come to that—” tone he speaks in is dull; disinterested, yet he still ponders the thought in his mind with silence reigning. it was a ridiculous concept in retrospect— no way would the fell dragon ever be put in a scenario such as that, yet he still entertained the thought. it wasn’t like him to brush over things, even ridiculous ones like this, if it meant he got his way… “—then perhaps. though, it would suffice better as entertainment, rather than some pathetic form of last resort…”

        grima knew his children well— even if he would vehemently argue they were nothing but his pawns, but he knew the strength both of them possessed; separated or not. he was the one to raise and train them after all, he knew of what devastation they could create. it made him smile.

       “it’d be fun.” there’s a purr rising from his throat as he speaks. “watching to see how many they would take with them, before their eventual death— if the shepherds are capable of killing them, that is, but it would be quite the sight to see in the end. i wonder…”
