A stomachache for a tactician.

[invisiblebonds]

*Robin never had the healthiest lifestyle, so it didn't came as a surprise that he got lay low by a sudden stomachache waking up one day. Everyone insisted that he stayed on bedrest, looking for some medicine for him, and making sure to keep him away from his tactical manuals.

He's not a happy camper- this stomachache is preventing him to do the things he needs to do. He's gonna be a bit grouchy as a result.*

Careful! It's pretty strong.

*But hopefully it'll do the trick*

[invisiblebonds]

*It maybe be strong, but considering Robin's taste in food, he only has the slightest wince at it. He'll take the water next.*

[savingthefuture]

*Good. Lucina watches him carefully, she's quite worried about her honorary uncle*

[invisiblebonds]

*He'll slowly drink the water. It would be strange for Lucina to see Robin's hands... exposed. He usually would hide them with bracers, gloves and bandages, so seeing them without anything is... unusual.*

[savingthefuture]

Hey...your hands. Don't you usually keep them covered?

[invisiblebonds]

I... I don't need to anymore. I've got nothing to hide anymore... Grima's Brand is gone.

[savingthefuture]

Oh...

*She smiles*

I'm so happy for you, Robin.

[invisiblebonds]

Mmm. *He rubs the back of his right hand.* He... he won't return. *His hand then goes to his stomach.*

[savingthefuture]

Is the ginger working?

[invisiblebonds]

...A bit. I just need a bit more time. *he leans against the many pillows of his bed.*

[savingthefuture]

Things like this take time.

...how many pillows do you need? *She's stifling her giggles*

[invisiblebonds]

Enough to stifle my sleep talking.

*Is he serious or joking? It seems like his sudden coughing fit from having water in the wrong pipe hides the truth.*

[savingthefuture]

*Lucina pats him on the back, this has happened to Brady more than a few times when Mother bugs him about violin practice or he drinks too quickly...there's a reason Mother teaches them good manners*

[invisiblebonds]

...Thanks. *Ever since he return, everyone has been watching him like a hawk, reacting to anything pointing to bad health, saying that he needed time to recover from his ordeal.*

[savingthefuture]

*Lucina knows that must be annoying, she's had people fuss over her...but she also understands their side, having taken care of her little brother after Father and then Mother died, and Brady was sickly as a child...*

[invisiblebonds]

*He's calming down from his coughing.* ...You insisted on being the one bringing this to me, weren't you?

[savingthefuture]

I was. I...I guess I still feel guilty for what I did after learning the truth about Father's death in my future. I overreacted.

[invisiblebonds]

...You were just reacting to what you knew. I never spoke to you about my plans, for one thing. I... Never wanted to keep you in the dark. ...I'm sorry.

[savingthefuture]

I wish you and Father had told me, but I suppose I can understand why you didn't.

[invisiblebonds]

...Was it... hard? For everyone when I... disappeared...
