Part 185: Robin B

Chrom loved the gift, Stahl! Thanks so much for letting me chip in.

Not at all- I should be thanking YOU.

I doubt I could hafe afforded everything without your fat purse!

Oh, come now. Don't think I'll fall for that old trick... You helped me and just made it seem like I was helping you. I don't know how you do it, but I'm grateful nonetheless!

Heh. I guess I've always been good at reading people. Even when I was young, I could tell what folks wanted before they even said it. It's not much of a secret ability, but it's the only one I've got!

On the contrary, I think being sensitive to others is a precious skill indeed.

I don't know if I'm sensitive, exactly. I just find it easy to read people. You'd be amazed how much you can read from a face, if you know what to look for.

And you can always read these thoughts?

Absolutely!

Stahl, that's a remarkable talent! Truly.

Ha! Not at all! It's just the coping mechanism of an overly dull man.

Reading thoughts from faces or gestures? That's every bit as impressive as magic. I bet you're always one step ahead of your rivals, on the battlefield and off.

Hmm... I guess it has saved my skin a time or two.

Like how you read my mind hen I was wondering what to get Chrom...

Er, actually, that time, I just overheard you talking to yourself.

Was I? Oh! Ah ha ha...
