Part 909: Robin A

...This is for you, just for being you. A little token of my gratitude.

*From a distance*

...Is that Inigo over there? What's he up to? Looks like he has a present for that soldier. Trying to seduce her, no doubt.

*Sigh* The fool truly is incorrigible. So much wasted potential...

Ah, Robin! Perfect timing!

Here, I have a present for you, too. It's a salve I bought in town. The salesman said it has amazing healing and restorative powers.

Oh! That's actually really nice of you, Inig...

ARGH! Wait, what am I doing?! I won't be wooed with gifts!

Wait... You thought...? That I...?

WAAA HA HA HA HAAA!

Why are you laughing?

Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! Hoooooooo... S-sorry... Got to catch... breath... I'm not trying to buy your affections. Or anyone else's! The very idea!

Then what ARE you doing?

Well, I noticed that a lot of our soldiers are getting worn down with all this fighting. I thought I'd lift people's spirits with little pick-me-up presents.

Then why are you only giving it to the women?

I'm not! I've been giving something to everyone.

Oh. I just assumed that... I mean... Yes, well. Sorry about that. I must say, it's a very clever idea. I didn't think you had it in you.

I don't know if it's clever... I just like to make my friends happy is all. We all have to pitch in and help out however we can, right?

... You are full of surprises today, Inigo.

I know! I'm kind of surprised myself. ...Sooo, not so bad, am I?

Well, I thought you were pretty horrible before, so maybe not "so" bad, but...

Heh, I'll take it!

... And I'll take my exit before you change your mind! Ta-ta! (leaves)

....

Heh, yes, not SO bad, I suppose...
