Today is always the most enjoyable day

This presumably takes place in Fire Emblem Heroes canon, and after the plot of Awakening and Revelation for both characters.

Azura: Hello, Robin. Still reading those books?

Robin: Yeah, I’m just studying some more tactical guides. You can never be too prepared.

Azura: I have to say, I really admire your dedication to that. I don’t think I could ever be capable of having to lead an army’s decisions in the heat of battle.

Robin: It definitely has its challenges. Having the lives of all your allies in your hands is a lot of pressure to handle. No one ever wants to lose one of their comrades.  

Azura: I see what you mean. Some of my siblings were very involved in military strategy too, and I’ve heard many similar sentiments from them.  

Robin: It’s always been a goal of mine to end battles without any casualties. Maybe it’s a bit of an idealistic viewpoint, but I still couldn’t bear to lose someone because my strategies couldn’t protect them.

Azura: Your perspective is admirable nonetheless. If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear more about your time spent as Chrom’s tactician. I’m sure you have some interesting stories to share.

Robin: Sure, if you want to. While we’re at it, please tell me more about Hoshido and Nohr, and how your group managed to unite the two kingdoms.

Azura: Alright then, let’s share stories of our adventures. You can go first, if you like.

Robin: Well, it all started when I had a vision of Chrom and I fighting a dark sorcerer…

Azura: Sing with me a song of silence and blood… ♪

Robin: That really is a beautiful song. It’s still so surreal to imagine the kind of power that it holds.

Azura: It’s always been a burden to hold that kind of responsibility. There were many times where I was forced to suffer greatly at the hands of that curse, but it was always necessary for the greater good.

Robin: I can relate to that. The feeling that unless you make the hard sacrifices, you won’t be able to secure a better future for everyone.

Azura: I’m glad to know that you understand, though admittedly it’s a bit odd to hear that coming from you.

Robin: Huh? Why’s that?

Azura: We just had a conversation the other day about how as a tactician, you loathed having to put the life of even a single one of your soldiers at serious risk. Yet in your battle against Grima, you were all too willing to give away your own life in order to destroy him completely, even though Chrom could have sealed him away without the need for you to sacrifice yourself.

Robin: …That was a different situation entirely. But if you don’t mind me asking, I am interested to know: if you could rid the world of an evil power at the cost of your own life, would you take that opportunity?

Azura: Honestly, I’ve had to consider that question many times myself. I’ve always known that my songs had the power to prevent evil and destruction, in a sense. But because this power came at a great cost to myself, I knew that I could be putting my life at risk every time I used it.

Robin: It definitely isn’t an easy choice to make.

Azura: I understand. I did decide long ago that if it were absolutely necessary, I’d use my song’s power to prevent disaster no matter what the cost to myself would be. But I’m glad that it never ended up coming to that.

Robin: I guess you’re pretty lucky that it never reached that point for you. Although it feels strange to call anything about this kind of situation “lucky”.

Azura: I do know how you feel, and perhaps I’m a bit guilty of feeling the same way as you. But since you hate the idea of losing one of your friends in battle, don’t you think that they’d feel the same way about you?

Robin: It’s...it’s more complicated than that. I felt like that was the only way to end Grima for good, like there was no other way…I’d have been doing them all a disservice to choose anything else.

Azura: Robin…

Robin: I’m sorry, could you excuse me? I’m not feeling great.

Azura: I hope he’s okay. It sounds like that hasn’t been an easy burden for him to carry.

Azura: Robin, can we talk?  

Robin: Azura, I’m sorry for cutting our conversation off like that the other day. I really appreciate getting to talk to you about this, since our situations were so similar. It’s nice getting a chance to have that discussion.  

Azura: It’s okay, really. What you went through wasn’t easy. But it sounds to me like there are more things that were bothering you.

Robin: Azura…I was the Fell Dragon. In an alternate future, I betrayed all of my friends and brought the world to an apocalypse. Everything that went wrong in our world, every struggle we had to face, it was all my fault.

Azura: …

Robin: It’s just, how could I live with myself knowing all of that? It only seemed right at the time, that if sacrificing myself were the only way to stop Grima for good, then I had an obligation to do so.

Azura: Robin! How can you say that? None of those terrible things were your fault, and you have no reason to feel guilty about it.

Robin: I know, you’re right. I’ve been trying to move on from it, but it hasn’t been easy.

Azura: Still though, you weren’t the one who caused the end of the world; you helped to prevent it. You aren’t Grima, you’re nobody but yourself. If your ties to Grima really were so close, you wouldn’t still be with us now, you’d be dead alongside him. Isn’t the fact that you’re still here proof enough that the path you chose matters more than your supposed destiny?

Robin: Heh, that’s a good point. It’s funny, I’ve always said a lot of similar things to all of my friends, that the bonds between us mattered more than the fates that we were scripted to. I always tried to act confident so that everyone in the army could have faith in their tactician to guide them forward, but I guess I could stand to have a little more faith in my own words.

Azura: Well, in any case, I hope the best for you, and I’m glad if I was able to help.

Robin: Yeah, I still don’t know why I got so hung up over all of that. The war has been long over, I should probably have moved on already.

Azura: You’ve dealt with a lot of hard emotions, and nothing’s going to make them go away easily. But I’ll be happy to talk and help you out if you ever need me to.

Robin: Thanks, Azura, I’d be glad to.

Robin: Hey Azura, I’ve been thinking more about our talk about sacrifices.

Azura: Oh? What about it?

Robin: You said that you had already decided long ago that you would have given your life to save the world if you had to.

Azura: Yes, if it were absolutely necessary, though I certainly don’t want to.

Robin: Yeah, I’m aware that those kinds of risks are no longer relevant given that the wars that you fought in are long over. But still, just the thought of losing you doing something like that is something that I don’t know if I could take.

Azura: That’s very kind of you to say, though I don’t think that you have anything to really worry about.

Robin: I know I talked about how as a tactician, I never wanted to let any of my comrades die. But with you, it’s different. You were also willing to sacrifice yourself for the greater good and…I’m not sure if I’d have been able to handle that, if you ever did.

Azura: Well, I’m sure that’s how your friends felt when you gave your life to destroy Grima. We’re lucky that you’re still with us.

Robin: Yeah, you’re right. Realizing that helped me out a lot. But that isn’t the only thing. I couldn’t bear to lose you because, well, you’re such a kind and understanding person and you helped me out so much…Azura, I think I’ve fallen in love with you.

Azura: Oh Robin…I feel the same way. You’ve been so wonderful, and I couldn’t bear to lose you either. I love you!

Robin: Azura, it makes me so happy to hear you say that.

Azura: Promise me that we’ll live the rest of our lives together. I want you to be a part of my life forever.

Robin: I promise! We still have so much to live through together, and I never want it to end.
