Robin slowly opened his eyes to the sensation of someone gently stroking his forehead. The scent of flowers tickled his nose as he inhaled, and looking up revealed starry brown eyes reflecting his image past a familiar big pair of glasses.

Vy's pretty starry brown eyes.

She was leaning over him, tucking a long strand of brown hair behind her ear to better show the smile growing on her face. Even when dressed in her Decisive Battle uniform from Chaldea, she looked radiant. "Good morning, handsome."

"...G' mornin' to you too, beautiful." Robin closed his eyes again once her left finger brushes some of the fringe out of the other side of his face, an incoming breeze making the incoming sunlight feel not so hot against his arms as he rested them along his stomach. "What're you doing, Vy?"

"I heard from Tama-san how a lap pillow could be relaxing, so I thought I could brush your hair to help you rest." With that said, Vy doesn't stop her stroking of his head, her thighs adequately plump enough against the back of his neck to act as a good cushion. She even twirls a small strand of his hair around her pinky finger with a giggle. "I know I'm not the best at taking breaks, but I at least want you to enjoy yours, Big Robin."

"This is already plenty, little sparrow." And yes, it was a little irritating to know she got the idea from that pink fox of all Servants, but it was better that it came from Tamamo Caster compared to, say, the two Koyanskayas that somehow found their way into Novum Chaldea to cause more headaches in their shared jail with BB. Robin shut his eyes to the thought, inhaling deeply to take in more of those flowers. More of Vy. "...At this rate, I won't want to get up."

"And that's fine." Vy gently pokes his cheek, giggling as a faint glint of gold comes into the corner of his vision with his next slow blink. An unmistakable glow of gold from her ring finger, just to match her lotus-shaped Command Seals. The tiny wing inscribed into the band shines just a little brighter to go along with the pink flower already there as she says, "Last I heard from Tama-san, wives are supposed to be there for their hubbies, right?"

"And vice versa," Robin retorts dryly, lacing his own fingers together and absently thumbing at his own silver band sitting at the base of his right ring finger. Caster Da Vinci didn't have to upgrade their rings with bird wings, but here they were. And it was nice to poke at. "A marriage's not a one-way street, Vy."

"Aye." Vy pats his cheek then, and opening his eyes reveals the blue stars of her eyes reflecting his image with pure love back at him. She leans down a little more, her breath mingling with his just as she says, "I love you, Big Robin."

Robin grins and leans up to meet her halfway. "I love you too, little sparrow."
