Part 530: Chrom B

Ah, there's Olivia now...

...Right! Today I shall be charming and witty, and we will talk of this and that. I'll make her forget her painful shyness as we quickly become fast friends. Maybe a joke would lighten things up. Friendly ribbing always puts me at ease...

*Chrom walks up to Olivia*

Ha ha! Why, if it isn't Olivia! Ha ha! Here by yourself again?

EEK! Oh, milord! I mean, Chrom! Sir! I was just... practicing my dancing. ...Since I'm useless at fighting.

I mean, it's what I do, you know? Dancing, that is. Not fighting. ...Yes. Well. Anyway.

Ha ha! Oh, Olivia, what a wit you are! But you mustn't sell yourself short. If you were a poor dancer, I'd just kick you out of the Shepherds!

Wait, what?! Oh my gosh, I'm so... I mean, I'll do my best! Please... I don't...

N-no! That was a joke! Just... joking! Ha ha! Ha ha ha! ...Ha?

See, if you were ACTUALLY bad, I wouldn't joke about it. ...Right? Look, Olivia, we all think you're an excellent dancer. Honest. So please - there's no need to be so self-effacing all the time. All right?

Y-you are very kind. But I'm so clumsy, and there's still much that I have to learn.

You're doing it again.

Oh! *gulp* S-sorry! I forgot-

I do think it's great that you want to better yourself, though.

I could take a page or two from your book when it comes to practicing swordplay!

Oh, Chrom! Please! You're embarrassing me!

But, I didn't mean to...

Um...

Er, Olivia? Is something wrong? You're... staring at me...

I am?! Ah, SORRY! I mean... Um...

I think I left the campfire burning! Gotta go!

No, wait! Olivia!

*Olivia leaves*

...That girl is a puzzle.

Still, we actually exchanged a few words today. I suppose that's progress.
