What now?
Sienna
I decided to take a small break in the tent. I was getting much better at using swords and tomes. Then, Chrom walked in.
"Finished training for today, Sienna?" He asked me.
"With combat practice, yes." I started. "But, I thought I might review a few battle histories..."
"You should relax a bit. Put your feet up. Experienced soldiers rest when they can. On a campaign life like this, you never know when the next battle might break out."
"Heh. So I've noticed. With all that's been happening, we've barely even had time to eat!"
"It's been a tough road, to be sure. And it's only going to get harder."
"I do try to rest whenever I can. A lady needs her beauty sleep, after all."
"Er..."
Uh, Chrom? You okay?
"...What? Did I say something?"
"Er, no... No, it's nothing. It's just that..."
TOO SOON, CHROM!!
"Well, I just didn't consider you the type to care after beauty and such..."
Phew. But, I'm... not. All I said is I care about sleep!
"I suppose I've never really thought of you as a lady."
WHAT NOW?!
That made me boil over.
"Excuse me?!"
"No! I mean- I didn't mean- not like that! That is to say, a 'lady,' per se... Er..."
I'm guessing that came out wrong...
"You know, how you fight and strategize, and..." Chrom stuttered. "Not to say a lady can't fight, but... Gods, this is coming out all wrong.
"My goodness, Chrom. You're quite the scion of a noble family, aren't you? Didn't they teach you manners at your fancy schools growing up?"
"Oh, gods, yes. Of course they did. We spent a whole term on etiquette."
"Perhaps you could use another term, this time on how to talk to a lady."
"It's just my image of a lady is someone who is prim and proper... perfumed, and pretty... Nothing like you at all! When I look at you, I don't see a 'lady.' Does that- Er, Sienna? What... What are you doing with that rock?"
"I'm thinking a sharp blow to the head might fix your eyesight."
"N-no wait! It was just a joke! Ha ha... ha? ...Gotta go!"
"I don't believe it! The little craven actually ran away! What kind of manners... Sheesh... Oh, well. Perhaps it's only fair. It's not like I think of him as a gentleman, let alone some fancy noble."
