Severa:
Hold it right there, Robin!

Robin:
Severa? Is something wrong?

Severa:
Well, duh! Yes, something is wrong! What was that nonsense at the war council just now?!

Robin:
What, with the battle scenario simulations?

Severa:
On the last one, you said we should let the enemy retreat. Are you daft?! Anyone with half a brain would know to pursue and finish off the enemy! Gawds!

Robin:
I considered pursuit, but it seemed too risky. Factoring in everyone's exhaustion from the first round, it seemed safest to stay put. Chasing a bear into its den can be asking for trouble, especially after a long fight.

Severa:
Unless you actually want to SLAY the bear, in which case it's exactly what you do!

Robin:
I think it really depends on the circumstances... In that scenario, we would've been chasing them into rugged, mountainous terrain.

Severa:
So?!

Robin:
So they can't travel at speed through those mountains. It's just not possible. That leaves us plenty of time to finish them off once we're back at full strength. Besides, if a storm hit while we were marching, we'd be devastated. Mountains are fickle things. I thought it best to play it safe in that case.

Severa:
...You just think you've got ALL the answers, don't you? You sure have gotten a big head since Chrom made you our tactician...

Robin:
Hey, I hardly think that's fair...

Severa:
Oh, so you DON'T think you're the smartest one here? How humble of you!

Robin:
All right, then. Let's say you were the tactician in the same situation. What would you do, Severa? How would you direct the Shepherds to pursue the enemy?

Severa:
HA! Don't think you can trick me with your...trickery!

Robin:
It's not a trick. I'm honestly curious. If you have a solid plan, then great. I don't want to let them retreat any more than you do, after all. Take a while to think on it, and let me know. Right now, I need to meet with Chrom.

Severa:
Oooh! The big man has a big meeting! ...Gawds, he thinks he's so clever.

Severa:
Ha! Found you!

Robin:
Did you need something, Severa?

Severa:
Don't play dumb with me. I'm here with an answer to your little question.

Robin:
Ah, how best to pursue enemies fleeing into mountainous terrain? Excellent! And what is your solution?

Severa:
You let the main force rest, but send a small strike force of your best fighters. That way, you minimize risk while also having the best chance of killing the foe. What do you think about that?!

Robin:
It sounds reasonable enough... But what if their retreat was just a ruse, and they littered the mountain with traps?

Severa:
H-hey! You didn't say anything about traps!

Robin:
Without knowing anything about the path ahead, sending anyone is a risk.

Severa:
Yeah, and so that's why you send your best men and minimize casualties!

Robin:
...Not good enough.

Severa:
Not good enough?!

Robin:
Chrom and I aren't trying for fewer casualties, Severa. We're trying for none. Anytime we lose a fighter, the operation is a failure—no matter the end result. Your plan is a compromise we're just not willing to take.

Severa:
Oh. My. Gawds. Are you serious?! You think you can win a war with pretty ideals and zero casualties? Wake up! You think the war fairy is gonna come flying over and sprinkle victory dust everywhere? ...This isn't about the plan at all, is it? You're just making fun of ME! Well, I'm so sorry if I'm not as smart as my mother!

Robin:
Er, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, Severa.

Severa:
Well I think you're being a big, fat tactical jerk!

Robin:
...Well, that could have gone better. But at least now I see what this is about.

A Support

Robin:
Oh. Hello, Severa.

Severa:
...Hey.

Robin:
I should apologize. For before. I... I shouldn't have been so quick to dismiss your plan. I know you spent time on it.

Severa:
No, I'm sorry. I was immature and angry. ...I didn't mean it when I called you fat.

Robin:
Heh, I admit, I did check myself on the scales afterwards.

Severa:
Um, so, I thought more about the scenario, and I think I've got an answer.

Robin:
I'm all ears.

Severa:
What if we sent a scout group by air? Like pegasus knights or whatever. They map out the area, nail down the enemy's position, and sniff out any traps. THEN we send a ground force to take out the enemy.

Robin:
...That is a nuanced, well-considered plan. I'm quite impressed!

Severa:
Right? The aerial units just avoid archers, and the ground troops aren't going in blind. It's the perfect scheme!

Robin:
It's a B+ plan, with an A+ for effort!

Severa:
...... B PLUS?!

Robin:
It's a great idea, Severa, but the scenario we ran at that meeting lacked air support. In this hypothetical situation, there ARE no pegasus knights or...whatever to send. That's why we decided not to pursue the enemy in the first place.

Severa:
Y-you can't do this! You can't keep making up new rules all the time!

Robin:
Heh, sorry, Severa. Really I am. I thought that was clear from the start.

Severa:
Now I feel like a total idiot for wasting all that time thinking about it!

Robin:
Oh, I wouldn't call it a waste. Considering a problem from different angles often leads to useful discoveries. In fact, your answers have given me ideas for new strategies down the line.

Severa:
Yeah, my WRONG answers! Bah, I'm done talking about this!

Robin:
Hey, I'm sorry! Don't be mad, Severa! ...Come back!

S Support

Severa:
Hey, Robin?

Robin:
Yes?

Severa:
...How come you don't avoid me like everyone else does?

Robin:
Wait, do people do that to you?

Severa:
Not always... But whenever I contradict someone or start to get angry, they usually stop listening. I think most people think I'm...difficult.

Robin:
Well, for what it's worth, I don't think so. You're emotional, yes, and you say what's on your mind. Forcefully, usually... But that doesn't really bother me. In fact, I find it refreshing...

Severa:
Refreshing?!

Robin:
Sure! I mean, look at me. I'm pretty dull when you get right down to it. And even when you say something unkind, there's still a bit of... Hmm, how to say it... If I read between the lines of what you say, there's usually some good in there.

Severa:
So...can you read between the lines of what I'm saying now?

Robin:
I'm afraid I may need a little more to go on.

Severa:
Ugh, you can be SO dim sometimes!

Robin:
...Am I missing something obvious here?

Severa:
I love you, Robin! That obvious enough for you?! You're always so caring, and it makes me feel...special, I guess. You make me happy.

Robin:
Wow, Severa...

Severa:
L-look, I'm sorry for being so snarky and competitive all the time. But maybe in the future we can be more of a team?

Robin:
You mean a couple? I'd like that.

Severa:
REALLY?! ...You would?

Robin:
...Heh. I love you too, Severa. I love your passion and your drive. I love how you never hide what you're feeling, for better and for worse.

Severa:
Well, this time I think it was definitely for the better.

Robin:
Heh, that much is obvious, even to a big, fat tactical jerk like me.

[Confession CG scene]
I...I love you... Hey! Pay attention for once. And say something sweet why don'tcha!
