Part 184: Robin C

Now, what would he want more than anything? Hmm...Maybe a sword? Wait, what am I thinking? He already owns the most treasured sword of all....

Heya, Robin! You thinking up a birthday present for old man Chrom?

He's hardly "old," Stahl...But yes, I am. And to be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss for ideas.

Ha! Isn't that a pickle!

Buy for royalty would be hard enough, but we're in the middle of a war. It'd have to be small, to transport easily with the caravan, and nothing excessive...

Yeah, cheap is good. Chrom's never been much for gold and glitter, anyway. I was actually thinking of brewing up a special concoction for him.

You mean like a potion or tonic? I didn't know you dabbed in such!

My father is an apothecary, and he taught me the trade.

Homemade gifts are always the best! Would that I possessed any such talents...

Er, say. My ingredients are quite costly and difficult to find in the wild...

Perhaps I could help gather them?

Yes, exactly! Then the present could be from the both of us.

Perfect! we can solve both our problems in one fell swoop.

Then it's a deal!
