...Why yes, I am in a "whump tf outta Robin" mood.

*Tacticians paint the board strokes of strategy, but they can't plan for anything that can happen.

(Since when can the enemy warp?)

It's what he repeated to himself as he's in the healer's tent, his entire torso wrapped in bandages, healing staves and medicine use on his wound and body thankfully kept him alive.

He can still feel the side-effects of blood loss, however and Lissa confirmed to Chrom that he would have a permanent scar whilst sliding in and out of consciousness. He's awake and aware now, on some level, and he could seriously use some painkillers right now.*

*Lissa did all she could, and now Maribelle is taking over to give her darling a chance to rest. And maybe if she can further mend the wound her husband will stop his fussing*

I'd chide you for getting reckless, but we all know the enemy played dirty. The important thing is that you survived that mess.

*she's trying not to be grouchy and pull an irritation born of worry. Not just from seeing Chrom and Lissa so upset, but Robin matters to Maribelle, too!*

[invisiblebonds]

Do... do warp staves still exist... in our time...?

*It kinda hurts to talk. He's not sure how deep his wound actually was- everything's an absolute blur.*

...Where... Where's Chrom...? And...

[deadlyparasol]

No, they haven't for quite some time now. Honestly, I don't know how the enemy even managed it.

Chrom is resting. He and Lissa have been fretting by your bedside since we got back.

[invisiblebonds]

...Sumia, too? And... the others...

[deadlyparasol]

Sumia's probably in a worse state than Chrom! She believes it was her fault for not being able to get to you in time!

[invisiblebonds]

...But I'm... I'm alive, right...?

assuming this is pre-S Support for Robin and Sumia?

[deadlyparasol]

Yes, of course, and that's the important part! But you know how she can be, and, well...she's Very fond of you.

Sure, why not.

[invisiblebonds]

...Who rescued me, then?

Re: Sure, why not.

[deadlyparasol]

Oh, she did, with some help from Lissa's Rescue Staff. Sumia stayed by your side as we patched you up, but seeing Chrom and Lissa so upset made her feel even guiltier.

[invisiblebonds]

*He'll groan, then wince in pain because the groan hurts his wound.*

[deadlyparasol]

*And Maribelle will raise her Mend staff, followed by handing him a cup of herbal syrup Stahl made for such injuries*

[invisiblebonds]

*Oh, if it's the syrup he thinks it is... He'll grimace before carefully drinking the syrup, looking rather disgusted with the taste.*

[deadlyparasol]

I know, he did warn it wasn't very appetizing, but it does work.

[invisiblebonds]

...Vulneraries tastes better than this...

*He finishes the syrup. His hands are shaking a bit.*

You did... managed to beat the enemy... right?

[deadlyparasol]

We did, yes. And while we did have a few more injuries, we didn't lose anybody.

[invisiblebonds]

Good... *he licks his lips nervously* I... I overheard... I'll scar.

[deadlyparasol]

Yes...does that bother you?

[invisiblebonds]

...I'm just... worried others will... blame themselves seeing it.

[deadlyparasol]

Well, some might. Chrom and Sumia, obviously...but it's because they care so much. I'm the same way whenever Lissa gets hurt.

[invisiblebonds]

...I'd like to talk to them... if it's possible. Even if it's just Sumia.

[deadlyparasol]

Oh, they'll want to see you. Sumia...should be calmer now that she's had time to sit down and have tea with Sully.

[invisiblebonds]

...Good. I... I need to talk to her. To... to apologize.
