“Oh, Chrom! I-- Pardon me, I didn’t see you there.” And what, pray tell, has Robin’s royal patron found his tactician in the midst of? 

Shortly before breakfast’s formal end, he’d excused himself and departed the mess tent while smuggling a tied kerchief-full of leftovers under his coat. He’s been caught, now, hand-feeding them to a family of strays-- one tortoiseshell mother cat and her kittens; no fewer than four, in assorted colors. This is a rare show of tenderness from the ranks of the Shepherd’s most standoffish, and he seems almost embarrassed by it (though he makes no move to move away from the mewling furballs still crowded around his ankles).    @nagahearted // sc.

"I bet you I can skip this rock over the entire width of of this stream. If I win, you have to give me a kiss."

     “Oh? Do I now?” Lips curve into a smile at his boast, though in truth, she’s a little…excited? It’s rare for them to have a quiet moment such as this, and thus there are still many things new to her–skipping rocks being one of them. “I think that’s a bet I don’t mind taking.”

     She leans forward eagerly as he inspects the ground, picking up a smooth, flat stone. He turns it over in his hand before nodding, evidently satisfied. He shoots her an easy grin before he turns his attention back to the stream, pulling his hand back and letting the stone fly. Ruya watches it go, sailing through the air and back downwards, where it hits the water with a PLUNK! 

    “…” She’s left waiting for an encore that never comes, as the stone sinks to the bottom of the stream immediately. Oh, Gods, she can’t help it–laughter bubbles up from her chest and spills forth, and she needs to take a moment to catch her breath again.  

    Poor Chrom is red in the face, utterly embarrassed by his failure. Well, she can’t blame him. She stands from the log where she’d been sitting and comes to his side. 

    “Hm, well, I guess that means I won,” she muses, stifling another giggle. “A pity–I was rather hoping you’d win this one.”

Sumia and Chrom? One more prince/princess of Ylisse!

send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child.

(tagging @nagahearted for this one b/c we’re nerds–)

Name: Violet

Gender: Girl

General Appearance: Much like her two older sisters, Violet takes after her father in looks, but her genetics go one step further and make her look quite a lot like Chrom’s mother, the former queen. She had dark blue hair that waves and curls like her mothers, but her hair is a shade darker than her father’s, and it looks a bit purple, much like a violet blossom. She has round blue eyes, and her mother’s eager smile. A turned up nose and constantly rosy cheeks (she looks like she might be suffocating when she laughs too much).

Personality: Violet is a gentle, quiet girl. Lucina is the crown princess, Cynthia is the boisterous princess, and Violet takes more to being a quiet princess. She likes to play with her sisters and cousins, and she LOVES baking with her mother. But she isn’t one for fighting or riding like her sisters do. Violet prefers curling up with a good book.

Special Talents: She has a major green thumb! And is also a great baker. Violet definitely takes after her mother’s interests, and everyone notices. But Chrom loves this, he wants at least one of his children to be more like their mother than like him and his rowdy childhood.

Who they like better: Violet idolizes her father (just like her sisters), and she always begs for extra cuddle time and attention when she is little. But she adores her mother too, and always goes to Sumia when she needs help.

Who they take after more: Absolutely, hands down, Sumia.

Personal Headcanon: Violet is the 3rd of four little girls that Sumia and Chrom have– Naga have mercy on King Chrom’s soul, he is surrounded by princesses. But also, Violet is born several years after Cynthia. Violet probably hadn’t been born in the future-past universe, because things began to fall apart before she could have been. So only in this new world is Violet and the last sister born.

HERE COME FOUR LITTLE GIRLS MAKING A BEELINE FOR THEIR MAMA

FIRST FIVE ASKS GET A KISS -- @nagahearted1/5 

Sumia was lucky not to fall over. All four of her little princesses pounced in one go-- Cynthia threw herself into Sumia’s arms, Violet sweetly nuzzled her way against her mother’s shoulder, Adelaide clung to Sumia’s legs over the folds of her dress, and Lucina, the eldest and tallest, had mercy on her poor clumsy mother and hugged Sumia from behind so she wouldn’t topple over. 

“Oh look at you all!” Sumia laughed, trying to hug all of her girls at once. “Come here, come here--” 

One by one, Sumia delivered little kisses. First to Lucina, a kiss on her forehead. Second to Cynthia, a warm kiss to her cheek. Third to Violet, kissing the top of her hair gently. Last to Adelaide, who was still so small, got scooped up into Sumia’s arms and was delivered a kiss on the nose.

“Aren’t I blessed?” Sumia sighed. “To have such wonderful daughters.”
