We last left off at… Philippe escorting Robin to the library.
Robin wonders if she should ask Philippe about Skeletiano and decides to be upfront.
That’s, err, rather refreshing!
And enter, stage left, Skeletiano!
He asks what’s going on and Philippe covers for Robin by saying they were planning on going to the library so she can learn how to use mystical books. Skeletiano says he’ll accompany them.
Robin isn’t very pleased because she wanted to ask Philippe for advice…
So she starts suggesting that she doesn’t want to go as a group and isn’t Skellie busy anyway? “I feel like spending all my time with you every day might not be a good thing.”
Philippe steps in and says that because Skellie lives in the castle and Robin lives in the castle, there must be times where she wants to forget about the castle completely. Therefore, she will spend the day with him, alone.
Awwww poor Skellie…. 
no sads, only happys come back my cinnamon rolllllllll
Robin’s worried she hurt his feelings now… YEAH YOU JUST REJECTED HIM IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE 
There’s a love challenge here, but I have enough stats to cover it.
We take a moment and go into Skellie’s POV.
I love every bit of this! 
Skeletiano sat on a park bench and looked up at the sky.
He could see the Princess and Philippe reflected in the gray haziness above.
Philippe, whom he admired a great deal, and the Princess, his dear friend.
They looked so good together as man and woman when I saw them together like that….
They looked like a prince and a princess from a fairytale.
Skeletiano loves romance novels.
He always got excited when spotting good-looking couples, but…
The princess and Philippe, two of my favorite people, have become a couple. That should make me happy.
But when I imagine them together I am filled with despair… This is the first time I’ve felt anything so strange.
Why in the underworld do I feel like this?
A week passes and Robin has accepted her feelings. But that still leaves Skellie…
And when she sees him, she’s so delightfully awkward (paraphrased).
“His bones are even more radiant today”
//can’t look at him//
“is there something wrong robin??”
“uh no, just feel like looking at the ground i mean the sky, isn’t it just a beautiful day”
“um… niflheim is almost always cloudy….”
“the french toast was really good this morning, right?”
“errrr french toast was yesteray’s breakfast….”
//argghhh why do i keep embarrassing myself//
“princess you’ve been acting strange lately.”
She tries to run away in embarrassment, but he stops her and begs to have a real conversation.
He’s so close she becomes shy and pushes him away….
…..making him a pile of bones.
I’m dying here
She rushes to help him, but he says he has it.
This part of the story is soooo good!
She tells him she’s fallen in love with him…
and I’m out of story tickets
