C Support

Frederick:
Your grip, stance, and breathing are wrong. Focus, Robin. ...Again!

Robin:
Ready!

Frederick:
That's enough for today. Your form has improved considerably. The pace of your progress is remarkable.

Robin:
*Huff, huff* Th-thanks... I feel like...I've got the basics *huff* down now... But... S-so tired...*huff* I think I'm dying...

Frederick:
Ha! You're exaggerating! Or at least I pray so. Otherwise you might as well die here—you won't last long on the battlefield.

Robin:
I suppose...but I'm exhausted nonetheless... But you... You've hardly broken a sweat?

Frederick:
I should certainly hope not. If a little training winded me, I would be in no shape to serve Chrom.

Robin:
Well, I'm impressed. You must train hard to build such endurance.

Frederick:
Well, I awaken before dawn each day to build the campfires... Then, whenever we march, I scout the trail ahead, removing rocks and such... Wouldn't do to have someone turn an ankle mid-campaign, now would it?

Robin:
(So that's why... I always thought it was just a fixation with pebble collecting...)

Frederick:
Beg pardon, did you say something?

Robin:
Er, nothing important! But I owe you for this training session, so let me help you with tomorrow's fire. It'll be a snap with my magic. Find a tree, hit it with a lightning bolt, and presto!

Frederick:
...Instant forest fire.

Robin:
Oh! Well, yes, I suppose that...could happen... In any case, I do still owe you a favor. Whatever you like—name it and it's yours. You needn't decide today, of course. Think it over for the next time we meet.

Frederick:
I am unaccustomed to asking favors, but if you insist, I shall find something.

B Support

Frederick:
Hello, Robin. I've thought about your previous offer.

Robin:
The favor? Oh, good! What'll it be? Just say the word.

Frederick:
I recall seeing you eat bear with great relish shortly after we first met. I should like you to teach me this skill. ...Eating bear, that is.

Robin:
I remember that night! Lissa was in a froth. Said it smelled like...old boots, was it? Wait, so you didn't eat any, either?

Frederick:
I fear I've rarely been able to choke down wild game, and bear least of all. But as the war grows harsher, I can no longer afford to be picky. There may come a day when bear is the only food available to us. Best I train to overcome my aversion now, when our situation is not so dire.

Robin:
True, and even the finest knight isn't much use on an empty stomach... All right then, you're on. Let's get you eating some bear!

Frederick:
Yes, I will train till I can consume anything, without concern for taste or decorum. Like an animal, or a savage... Or like you, Robin.

Robin:
......

Frederick:
Er, Robin? ...Did I say something wrong?

Robin:
Um, no, nothing. Don't worry about it. So, Frederick. You don't have a problem with more common meats, do you?

Frederick:
Beef and pork are fine. I also enjoy a good chicken on occasion.

Robin:
Then let's start simple. Take a bite of this jerky.

Frederick:
I shall tear into it with gusto! *munch munch* BLEAGH! G-gamey! S-so gamey! What... *cough* What IS this?!

Robin:
It's bear. Leftovers from the same bear we ate that night, in fact! I saved some.

Frederick:
Eeeaaaaagh! Healer! I need a healer!

Robin:
Animal or savage, indeed. How rude of him... Guess he wasn't joking about his aversion to bear, though...

A Support

Robin:
Hey there, Freddy Bear! I've got some new cured meat for you to try...

Frederick:
I'll thank you not to refer to me by that ridiculous name. ...And I'm not so gullible as to fall for your bear-jerky trick twice.

Robin:
Oh? I thought you were serious about getting over this, Frederick. Look, I'm not a monster. I prepared a whole series of meats in order of gaminess. We can take it slow.

Frederick:
...Well, I suppose I did ask for this.

Robin:
All right then. We'll start with chicken, then pork, then beef.

Frederick:
*Munch, munch* ...Hmm, excellent so far.

Robin:
Next is mutton. It starts to get a little tricky here.

Frederick:
*Munch, munch* ...This is...manageable.

Robin:
You're doing great! Okay, this one's venison.

Frederick:
*Munch, munch*

Robin:
...By which I mean bear.

Frederick:
PFFFFFFFT! Augh! By the gods! I'm d-dying! Dying! Ah... It's s-so dark... T-tell Chrom that...

Robin:
Oh, stop exaggerating! Otherwise you might as well die here—you won't last long on the battle...field? Whoa. I just had intense déjà vu.

Frederick:
I said the same to you, once upon a training session. And I was right. If I succumb to this, I can't well protect everyone on the front lines... My body is ready, Robin! The next sample, if you please!

Robin:
You talked yourself back into it? Impressive. And perhaps a little disturbing... Ah, well. Whatever works. Let's finish this, Frederick! Open wide!

S Support

Robin:
You did it! You chomped down on that crocodile jerky like it was a candied fig!

Frederick:
*Groan* I h-have...you to thank... Giving me...the strength...

Robin:
And last, but certainly not least...

Frederick:
W-wild-bear meat?

Robin:
You can do it.

Frederick:
*Nibble* ...... *Nibble*

Robin:
You did it, Frederick! You swallowed the whole thing! You've overcome your phobia of bear meat!

Frederick:
Thank...you.

Robin:
Er, but you look a little pale. Do you feel all right?

Frederick:
I'll be fine. Better than fine, in fact. Thanks to you, I needn't ever battle on an empty stomach. I stand in your debt.

Robin:
Glad to be of service. After all, you have to be in tip-top shape to protect the rest of us.

Frederick:
I should tell you that last night, I made a promise to myself... I swore that if I could keep the bear meat down, I would offer you...this.

Robin:
...Huh? A ring? ...But why?

Frederick:
I would like you to be my wife.

Robin:
What?! Oh Frederick... I did NOT see this coming!

Frederick:
I was thinking about what would happen if I managed to overcome my weakness. We would have no more reason to spend so much time together. And yet, I cannot bear the thought of leaving your side, Robin. So after much thought, I determined that I had no choice but to propose.

Robin:
...I don't know what to say. Except...deciding to marry a girl when you didn't upchuck a mouthful of bear? It might be the most unromantic thing I've ever heard!

Frederick:
Well, yes, but...

Robin:
Oh, I don't care, Frederick! I've been in love with you since our first bear dinner!

Frederick:
You do me a great honor, milady. You will not regret it, I swear to you!

[Confession CG scene]
My heart is yours, milady. I vow to defend you as knight and husband until death should part us.
