As part of the Shepherds, camaraderie was a daily reality, not only in camp but also on the battlefield—a close ally, a Pair Up, or something as simple as exchanging a weapon or a potion.

The one who ended up becoming your closest ally and most intimate confidante was Olivia. The dancer wasn't very strong, so protecting her because of her fragility was crucial, but her extreme usefulness was important.

She joined Chrom and the others two years ago when they went against the mad king Gangrel, then king of Plegia, who constantly sought to incite war with Ylisse, kidnapping Maribelle and forcing Chrom's sister, Emmeryn, to sacrifice herself, turning Plegia against its monarch.

Chrom ended up marrying one of his companions, and they had a daughter, Lucina, who later appeared in a more mature version, explaining to her father why she had traveled to the past, but also revealing that she hadn't come alone.

The couples already in the Shepherds family resulted in their children accompanying Lucina, including the child you would later have with Olivia.

And there he was, that shy dancer with a tendency to flirt. At first glance, the only thing you shared with him was your hair color, as he seemed to have inherited his mother's mannerisms.

"Whoa! Father...?" Inigo exclaimed when you found him practicing his dances that very night, blushing with embarrassment.

"G-good evening, Father...! What are you doing up so late...?" You weren't sure if you wanted to explain that both you and Olivia saw him practicing every night, but that she had gone to bed early that night.

"I, uh... I was about to go out... You know, meet some maiden to have tea with." You were perfectly aware of his nightly outings and that more than once he returned with wet clothes or a red handprint on his face.

"D-don't look at me like that...!" he exclaimed, even more embarrassed by your expression, perhaps even chuckling at the memory of his misadventures, or how contradictory it could be that someone so shy would enjoy flirting with women.

Just like Olivia did when she felt embarrassed, Iñigo covered his face in shame. "This can't be happening..." you heard his voice muffled by his hands; he was dying of embarrassment.
