My Exalt (ChromxRobin)

Chapter 9 1/2

Libra made sure Robin was walking okay, then he excused himself.

"Tharja?" He called from around the corner.
There the sorcerer sat, on the floor in the dark hallway.
Her knees were brought up to her chest, and her head was down.
Libra heard her sniff, then she lifted her head.

"Were you crying?" He asked.
She wiped her eyes, standing up quickly.
"No, I was... A spell went wrong." She said blankly.
"You're not a very good liar." He smirked.
She frowned, knowing she was found out.
"What do you want, priest?" She scoffed.

"Tell me why you were crying." Libra smiled kindly and calmly.
Tharja sighed, facing the war monk.
"I don't know what I'd do without Robin." She admitted.
She bit her lip before continuing,"Thank you, for taking care of her..."

"Tharja..." Libra whispered loud enough for only her to hear.
He reached inside his pocket and pulled something out.

Tharja gasped, covering her mouth with her hand.
"What are you doing, you fool?" She blushed.
Libra's face was red as well.

"Robin gave me some advice on what I should do and I'm taking her up on it." He grinned.

"Tharja, will you make me the happiest man alive? You've helped me in the past and I hope this can repay you." He proposed.

Tharja swallowed a lump in her throat,"On only one condition." She grinned as he slipped the ring into her finger,"You put Robin before anything else, even me."

"I'll try my best." He smiled.
