Robin:
Now, what would he want more than anything? Hmm... Maybe a sword? Wait, what am I thinking? He already owns the most treasured sword of all...

Stahl:
Heya, Robin! You thinking up a birthday present for old man Chrom?

Robin:
He's hardly "old," Stahl... But yes, I am. And to be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss for ideas.

Stahl:
Ha! Isn't that a pickle!

Robin:
Buying for royalty would be hard enough, but we're in the middle of a war. It'd have to be small, to transport easily with the caravan, and nothing excessive...

Stahl:
Yeah, cheap is good. Chrom's never been much for gold and glitter, anyway. I was actually thinking of brewing up a special concoction for him.

Robin:
You mean like a potion or tonic? I didn't know you dabbled in such!

Stahl:
My father is an apothecary, and he taught me the trade.

Robin:
Homemade gifts are always the best! Would that I possessed any such talents...

Stahl:
Er, say. My ingredients are quite costly and difficult to find in the wild...

Robin:
Perhaps I could help gather them?

Stahl:
Yes, exactly! Then the present could be from the both of us.

Robin:
Perfect! We can solve both our problems in one fell swoop.

Stahl:
Then it's a deal!

B Support

Robin:
Chrom loved the gift, Stahl! Thanks so much for letting me chip in.

Stahl:
Not at all—I should be thanking YOU. I doubt I could have afforded everything without your fat purse!

Robin:
Oh, come now. Don't think I'll fall for that old trick... You helped me and just made it seem like I was helping you. I don't know how you do it, but I'm grateful nonetheless!

Stahl:
Heh. I guess I've always been good at reading people. Even when I was young, I could tell what folks wanted before they even said it. It's not much of a secret ability, but it's the only one I've got!

Robin:
On the contrary, I think being sensitive to others is a precious skill indeed.

Stahl:
I don't know if I'm sensitive, exactly. I just find it easy to read people. You'd be amazed how much you can read from a face, if you know what to look for.

Robin:
And you can always read these thoughts?

Stahl:
Absolutely!

Robin:
Stahl, that's a remarkable talent! Truly.

Stahl:
Ha! Not at all! It's just the coping mechanism of an overly dull man.

Robin:
Reading thoughts from faces or gestures? That's every bit as impressive as magic. I bet you're always one step ahead of your rivals, on the battlefield and off.

Stahl:
Hmm... I guess it has saved my skin a time or two.

Robin:
Like how you read my mind when I was wondering what to get Chrom...

Stahl:
Er, actually, that time, I just overheard you talking to yourself.

Robin:
Was I? Oh! Ah ha ha...

A Support

Stahl:
*Sigh*

Robin:
What's wrong, Stahl? You sound a bit down?

Stahl:
Well, I apparently need to practice, then! It was supposed to be a sigh of relief. Some friends were in a bit of a row, but I managed to calm the waters.

Robin:
You're always doing things like that, aren't you? Helping others with their problems. Most of us are too busy looking after ourselves, but you always find the time.

Stahl:
Well, in a way it was for my own sake. Troubled folks make me uncomfortable. When I see friends fighting, my first instinct is to intervene and restore the peace.

Robin:
Ha! And now you're acting humble and deflecting praise from yourself.

Stahl:
Er, sorry. Is that annoying?

Robin:
Not annoying, no. But you should stand up for yourself from time to time, too. For example, you could start by telling people that today is your birthday.

Stahl:
Huh? You knew?

Robin:
I found out, yes, but not from you! Friends should be able to tell each other that much. War may be raging around us, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun sometimes.

Stahl:
I suppose...

Robin:
You spend so much time looking after other people that someone has to look after you. And I've decided that someone is going to be me! So, here. Have a couple of fried fig cakes in honor of your birthday.

Stahl:
Aw, my favorite! Thanks, Robin. You're a true friend.

S Support

Robin:
Ah. You did it again.

Stahl:
Did what again?

Robin:
Scratched your nose. You've got something you want to ask me, don't you?

Stahl:
How did you know?

Robin:
Oh, I've been doing a bit of observing of my own, trying to read faces. After you described your special talent, I realized how useful it could be. First thing I learned is that you scratch your nose before you ask for anything.

Stahl:
Ha! You'd think I'd know my own tells, but I guess not...

Robin:
So? What is it? You shouldn't be shy about asking me for anything. You've helped me so much, I'd love a chance to return the favor.

Stahl:
Er...right. Guess I'll ask.

Robin:
I'm all ears.

Stahl:
Well, I, um...got this ring for you. And...I want you to wear it.

Robin:
Why?

Stahl:
...Because I love you.

Robin:
What?! Gods, I had no idea!

Stahl:
Oh, heh heh, I was kind of hoping you'd picked up on my cues...

Robin:
I guess we're even then.

Stahl:
What do you mean?

Robin:
Look at me, Stahl. Look at my face.

Stahl:
Er, okay. I'm looking...

Robin:
Can you see what I'm thinking?

Stahl:
...Yes. Yes I can! You're happy!

Robin:
Exactly! See, if you'd have paid more attention, you'd have seen—

Stahl:
...that you're in love with me, too.

Robin:
Recently you've been avoiding my gaze. It was... Well, it was horrible, frankly.

Stahl:
Oh, you noticed? I'm sorry. I guess I just got bashful around you.

Robin:
But if you'd seen my eyes, you'd have known the answer was yes before you even asked!

Stahl:
Oh, Robin, even a blind man could see you've made me so happy!

[Confession CG scene]
My lady, I may never take my eyes off you again! ...Unless I'm about to run into a wall.
