Part 247: Lissa C

There you are, Lon'qu! I take it my brother talked to you?

Er...

Oh, stop it! Yes, I'm a girl, but it's your job to guard me! So no running away and being all weird. All right?

Chrom said there was a plot on your life. Is this accurate?

Yeah. I guess somebody wants my sweet little head on a platter. Don't ask me why!

You're of royal blood. That's enough to make you a target. And any shadow could hide a knife, so we must ensure you are never alone.

My hero! I don't have to worry about a thing with you around! La la laaaa...

Don't be careless! Keep your eyes open! Death could lurk in any nook or... *Sigh* Surely there is someone else better suited to this task.

Yeah, but you were just lazing around catching butterflies all day, so Chrom-

I certainly was not!

J-just kidding, Lon'qu! Kidding! I'm sure Chrom was impressed by your skill and charm and good looks! I mean, out of everyone else here, he's trusting you to keep his little sis safe. That's a pretty huge honor, right? ...Riiiiight?

...I suppose.

Right! So come on, no more grumbling. Let's shake hands and make nice!

.....

Oh, fine. No handshaking. We can just... nod at each other. Sheesh! Do you really have such a problem with women?

I find them... disconnecting. But it will not interfere with my duty.

Hmm... Maybe as thanks for guarding me I'll go ahead and fix your little problem...

...Or maybe not?

Fiiiiiine! I'm going to train, then. You can... just stand there and look dour.

That suits me just fine.
