Basilio:
Ah, Robin! You look radiant today!

Robin:
Oh? And what prompted that unexpected dose of flattery?

Basilio:
I've made it my custom to greet every lady I meet with a compliment.

Robin:
Well, consider me complimented. ...Was there something else you wanted?

Basilio:
I want to buy your services! Er, as a tactician, I mean.

Robin:
Oh? Are you trying to pluck me from Chrom's employ?

Basilio:
I wouldn't have used those words...but yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do! Sure, it's not fair to young Chrom, but my need is greater, and that's a fact.

Robin:
Well, I appreciate your honesty, if nothing else.

Basilio:
Pah! I'm no court dandy with time to play games of wit and words! So what's it to be, tactician? Give me your answer.

Robin:
I'm flattered by the offer, Khan Basilio, but I must refuse. This war is far from over, and I vowed to stand with Chrom to the bitter end. I couldn't just abandon him on the whimsy of one of our allies.

Basilio:
Ho! Speaking of games with words... This is no whimsy of mine, dear lady. I make this offer fair and true.

Robin:
Then I'd advise you to present the offer with more care. It's hard to take seriously when it comes out of the blue like this.

Basilio:
Fair enough. But at least you'll be prepared for the next time I ask you. ...And I WILL ask again, Robin! Count on it!

Robin:
Hmm, somehow I believe him...

Basilio:
Ah-hah, Robin. Just the brilliant tactician that I wanted to see!

Robin:
This isn't about your proposition, is it? Because I told you—

Basilio:
Shush! Say no more, not until you hear me out. I've brought proof of my sincerity! Ta-DAH!

Robin:
Gracious... What a beautiful bouquet!

Basilio:
Aye, but it's no more than you deserve. I've met a lot of women in my time... But never one as sharp and as willing—and able—to improve herself as you.

Robin:
Er, well, I'm not sure I'm all that, haha... But is this really about offering me a job? Because it's starting to sound like a different kind of proposition altogether...

Basilio:
Perish the thought, milady! I've got no ulterior motives—you have my word! I only want you to quit Chrom's employ and join me as my chief tactician.

Robin:
Right. But I don't understand why. All three of us are in the same army, yes? If I stopped working for Chrom and worked for you instead, what would change?

Basilio:
...Huh? Oh, er...well, sure. If you put it like that...I guess nothin' would change... Hmm. Maybe this brilliant scheme of mine ain't so brilliant after all... I'd best get back to the drawin' board and do some thinkin'... Till next time!

Robin:
Basilio?! Basilio, wait! What should I do with all these flowers?

Basilio:
Ah, I'm...not sure. Whatever one normally does with flowers? ...Eat them?

Robin:
*Sigh*

A Support

Basilio:
Ah, so this is where you're hiding! Can you spare a moment for old Basilio?

Robin:
Certainly, but if this is about—

Basilio:
You becoming my chief tactician? That's exactly what it's about. Except I've been rethinking the offer, and... Well, maybe "tactician" is the wrong word. What I need is a toady. Someone to track appointments, bring me tea—

Robin:
A toady?!

Basilio:
Well, all right, "assistant," if you prefer. I hear some use that term nowadays.

Robin:
That might be the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me! And even if I DID want to be your lackey, my loyalty remains with Chrom.

Basilio:
...You're dead set on staying his tactician, then? Is that it?

Robin:
Yes, Basilio. That's it.

Basilio:
Well, fair enough. I don't expect you to join me out of sympathy. Just do me one favor, will you? Think on my offer.

Robin:
I'd have to be brain dead to consider being your assis—

Basilio:
See, I'm the kind of man that doesn't let go once I've got a bone in my jaws.

Robin:
It's a thin line between persistent and pigheaded, Basilio. *Sigh* You are loyal, though, and certainly dedicated, I'll give you that much.

Basilio:
Har! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! It's like you see right into my heart! I need you on my staff, Robin! Name your price! Whatever it takes!

Robin:
Basilio? This conversation is over.

Basilio:
Oh, come now, admit it: my stubborn attitude is all part of my abundant charm! And to prove it, I'll be seeing you again, and THEN you'll give me the answer I seek!

Robin:
Heh heh, he certainly doesn't give up easily, does he...

S Support

Robin:
Hello, Basilio.

Basilio:
Ah, Robin.

Robin:
I hope you're not here to pester me about being your toady.

Basilio:
Hold on a moment, this time YOU were the one who chased ME down!

Robin:
Oh, was I? Fancy that.

Basilio:
......

Robin:
What's the matter, Basilio? ...You don't seem yourself.

Basilio:
I've been thinking about my offer... And I've come to realize that I don't need you as my tactician OR assistant.

Robin:
Wait, you don't? Er, I mean...good! Because I had no intention of accepting. What would be the point? I really just don't understand what you were thinking...

Basilio:
Look, I've been beating around the bush for a while now, and I'm tired of it. I don't want you to work for me. I...want you to be my wife.

Robin:
Dammit, Basilio! I've turned you down on two job offers already, and... Wait, did you just say WIFE?

Basilio:
By the seven hells, yes! My wife! Everything I offered before was me avoiding the guts of the matter. From the moment I clapped my eye on you, I've been yearning to make you mine!

Robin:
I...have no idea what to say...

Basilio:
Well, "yes" would be a fine start. Come on, Robin. Don't break my big, brown heart.

Robin:
Gods, but you can be quite charming when you put your mind to it... And in truth, I...have carried feelings for you for some time now...

Basilio:
There, you see? Fate herself is practically demanding that we wed! And trust me, my lady—the men of Ferox know how to treat a lady right!

Robin:
Well, I guess I'll just have to find out, won't I?

Basilio:
Har! I'll start by laying out the biggest wedding feast Ferox as ever seen!

Robin:
Heh ha, well, just take it easy with the mead, all right? We've all seen what happens when you let yourself go.

Basilio:
Old Basilio will be the very model of manners and good breeding! Er, but I can have SOME mead, right? ...Maybe just a barrel or two?

[Confession CG scene]
Just think of all the fun times we're gonna have! All the battles! Heh, I'm gonna make you proud!
