Part 819: Owain A

Owain? Hey, Owain! OWAAAAAIN! ...Hey! You! Have you seen Owain!

Last I saw, he was in some tent, curled up in a corner muttering to himself.

Oh, for the love of... Chrom just called an all-hands meeting. What does that man-child think he's doing?

*Time passes*

Ugh, could he make this place any darker? Is he really even in here...?

.....

O-Owain! What are you still doing here? Chrom called a meeting! And why are you clutching your knees and rocking in the corner? Talk about creepy!

I am creepy.

Hey, I was only stating the truth, weirdo......

Okay, what is it. Did something happen? What's wrong with you?

Nothing happened. I'm just a creepy creep who creeps around with his weirdo hobbies.

Are you still upset over what I said before?!

No, I'm not upset. You were just stating the truth.

Ugh, okay! I'm sorry! I went too far and now you're sad and blah blah blah. There. Are we good, now? Now come on. Chrom is waiting for us.

What would Chrom want with a creepy creep like me?

That's ENOUGH, mister!

Muh...?

Ugh... I can't believe you're actually going to make me say this... Since when did you ever let reality get in the way of your happy little fantasy world? You don't care what other people say. You walk your own path and whistle loudly! Deluded confidence and blind faith have always been your greatest strengths.

You... really think so?

I know so. So don't let a little criticism slow you down. Mine especially. Everyone knows I'm a huge jerk anyways, so just shrug it off and keep going.

You're... *sniff* Severa, you're...

I'm... what?

RRAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

...Oh, gods. It finally happened. The weirdo has snapped.

Severa, you're right! This isn't me! I never listen to what anyone says. Half the time I don't know they're talking! Thank you, Severa. I feel a lot better! Now come on, I'll race you to Chrom's! (leaves)

Wh-what? No, I won't race you! Come back, Owain!

*Sigh* ...What an idiot. Still, I'm glad he's better. A sad Owain is just... sad.
