Not as a 'planet'...

[A sheepish smile graced his lips as he continued, and he wished he had a map on hand so he could provide a visual for Allura to study.]

The continent of Ylisse is made of three countries: Ylisse, Plegia to the west, and Regna Ferox to the north. These countries weren't always in their present form, you know-- times change, people change...

History happens.

The records from before Ylisse's founding are honestly a disorganized mess, but I recall spotting reference to a Kingdom of Altea that existed 2,000 years ago. It was the homeland of the Hero King, Marth-- who is also one of the ancient ancestors of the Exalted bloodline of Ylisse.

[That hopeful light fades. She knew, even more than usual when something or someone brings forth that familiarity, but she still seems to be unable to stop from asking.]

A-ah, how interesting. ... If you'd like, I could show you my Altea. The amulets allow us to share images as well.

[strategyguide]

[The fading light in Allura's eyes was disappointing to behold, for it had made the flower-like depths of them glimmer in a way that was most fascinating while they waited for their Peromei Frapps. Perhaps, he could find a way to restore it once again...]

Do they? [He asked, brows lifting in his interest at that revelation.] How fascinating. There's something new to be found every day in this land.

...I won't press you over your lost land, [Robin added, knowing how the recollections of a land that no longer existed could pull at the heartstrings. He had seen it too many times, with another young royal who had lost everything.]

However, if you so wish, I don't mind sharing what I've seen of Ylisse with you.

[heartofalioness]

[That does get a small smile out of her.]

I'd like that, actually. Thank you. Would you like to go first or...?

[strategyguide]

If that's what makes you comfortable.

[He chuffed and, with one final smile, closed his eyes and concentrated on an image of the bustling streets of Ylisstol. The warmth of joy and an overflowing sense of hope could be felt through this one single image-- and it was clear even with a glance that, although the palace stood high on a hill in the distance, it was the people that was the true lifeblood of the Halidom.

For all of Chrom and Emmeryn's works, none of it could have happened if the people didn't already have a seed of hope in their hearts.]

[heartofalioness]

[There... that's one of the things she missed most about Altea, really, the one she looked forward to when she'd become queen. Her people, her culture, being able to see it grow and become in greater with her care, being able to care for and protect them.]

Your country's beautiful, Robin...

[As for hers, well... it's certainly bigger from above, but the feelings radiating from that bright blue and white orb are the same, especially as she shows him the fields and cities. Beautiful but dangerous, survived only by working together and outsmarting whatever the nature here could throw at them, intelligent, willing to reach out to others and to defend those in need. This was Altea, her home and her kingdom.]

[strategyguide]

My... so that's a planet, seen from above.

[Robin's fascination with the way this immense marble of a planet seemed so small and lonesom in the inky void that it floated in could be felt through their connection-- this was science of a calibur beyond his learning, but it wasn't beyond what he felt he was capable of understanding.

A single kingdom overtaking an entire world must have been quite a feat. How many decades and centuries had it taken to build? What sort of beasts or obstacles needed to be fought before it metamorphosized into it's full form?

For all that was different between their two homes, there was still one commonality between them that couldn't be ignored: Love. There was love along the streets and in the fields. And, while it wasn't perfect, love made it worth every effort to preserve.]

Your home is lovely as well. I would like to see it in person... someday. If the strange powers of this land should allow it.

[heartofalioness]

[The smile turns sad again, and she cuts the link before too much can leak through.]

I... yes, it would be nice, to visit each other's worlds. I could still show you the rest of the universe but... I'm afraid Altea hasn't existed for a long time in my world either.

[strategyguide]

[That little bit of melancholy and nostalgia was enough, though-- and Robin felt a twinge of guilt over prying. This wasn't yet like conversing with one of the Shepherds-- Allura was still a relative stranger, with only this country and a name shared between the two of them.]

I'm sorry to hear that, [he said quietly, keeping his tone level so as to not make a scene.] You've my apologies for asking-- I shouldn't have assumed so much in such a short time.

[--It was his inexperience, he knew. For as skilled as he was, the aspects he was missing were undeniable.]

[heartofalioness]

[Without quite realizing it, her hand reaches out to rest on his shoulder.]

No, please. It's-- There's no need to apologize. You didn't know, and it's not like I expected you to know.
