“Knock knock!” Robin burst into the room without actually bothering to knock, a noticeable excitement trailing in with him. There was a spring in his step and a light in his eyes as he came to a sudden halt in front of his boyfriend and offered him a cheery grin in way of greeting.

“Good morning!” He beamed. “Sorry for almost breaking the door in, I uh, got a little overexcited.” Thankfully the other hadn't been changing or something... that would've been awkward.

“Zelda!!” Peach actually shouted when her friend walked by, completely unintentionally. She was riding on a high from the Christmas preparations she’d been doing, and it didn’t look like she would be coming down any time soon.

“Tch,” That last shot had been way off. Sure, it had hit the target, but not nearly where he’d been aiming, or with the power he had hoped for... and now Arcthunder and gone and broken on him. Just great.

“Hey, do you know the way to the training room from here?” Robin was completely lost. The mansion was huge, and it was incredibly simple for one to get turned around in here. In fact, Robin sincerely doubted he would even be able to find his way back to his room now that he had been wandering for the better half of twenty minutes.

“I’m sorry, miss, but... I’ve totally forgotten your name.” He felt kind of terrible about it, since he was sure they had been introduced before, but... there were just so many people living here, and trying to keep track of them all was proving a little bit impossible. He knew this stranger was a villager from a small town... but that was about the extent of his knowledge.

It had been an exceptionally long day. 

Robin had slept in by mistake, missed breakfast, fought two matches back to back, left the arena, had a rushed lunch... and then on his way back to the arena he had run into quite literally the most ridiculous situation of his entire life, and by the end of it all, he had missed his boyfriend's match. Now he felt like a total jerk.

He had literally just missed the match; so now here he was, rushing towards the back of the arena in hopes that he could still catch the smaller boy, sweep him into his arms and somehow make up for missing the fight. Robin always made a point of watching his fights, and he was having a hard time forgiving himself for failing to attend this one. From the audience and screens around him, he had already gathered that his partner had lost, but that was fine. Robin was proud of him anyway, and couldn't wait to see him and let him know. At this point, he had nothing else to do for the rest of the day so he was super looking forward to just relaxing and spending some quality time with his boyfriend... that is, if he wasn't angry that Robin had missed his match.

“Do you really think you could take me in a real fight? With moves like that?” She hadn’t been watching him train for very long, but the princess was most definitely impressed with the angel’s - is that what he was? She felt like it was too late to ask at this point - moves. Of course, she couldn’t exactly let on that she was impressed. He was way too much fun to tease for her to just give away a compliment that easily.

“Come on,” she nodded in his direction, “throw your best punch. Bet you couldn’t even knock me over.” She winked, then held her arms out in front of her in a blocking stance and braced herself for a hit. In reality, she felt fairly confident he could knock her over - but they were just training, right? Surely he wouldn’t make to launch her across the room or anything ridiculous like that.
