[It's about noon now, which means it's about that time of day when Inigo tries asking Severa out on a date for his upteenth time. Does she keep rejecting him? Of course. But! He's not about to give up on seeing the Ice Queen's beautiful smile, which he catches her making every now and then to others like Lucina and Kjelle.
So far all his overt maneuvers in asking her out have failed horribly (either by someone else ruining his plan or her thinking it's stupid), so today he's going to keep it simple. Yeah, real simple and smooth.
...Perhaps too simple and not enough smooth, however, considering how he decides to just stand in front of her tent and await her reemergence. His posture straight, he stands confidently with his hands resting on his hips and his mouth smiling a wide and toothy smile. Several other units pass by, give him strange looks, and question him as he stays there for several passing minutes, but does he care? Not at all.
Dumbass.]

its funny how i have the most perfect icon for this
[And meanwhile, as Inigo is so creepishly just standing outside of her tent, Severa is inside brushing her hair one last time and putting it up in her usual pigtails to get ready to go out into town for a little while. A girls got to look her best even if she's just going out to buy a few things at Robin's request... and maybe a few other things. And a few more. Look there's a sale and no one said she couldn't go and she's using this as an excuse to be able to go.
When she's finally done, she goes to step out of her tent, moving the cloth back with her arm and--THERE'S INIGO. She jumps and even yelps]
Inigo?! Gods, what are you doing just standing there?! [Please don't tell her you've been here the whole time waiting for her to come out]
[He won't tell her he has been here the whole time waiting for her to come out...]
I was simply waiting for you, of course! Nothing more than that.
[...He'll just say that. And entirely casually, as if there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. He can't help but be humored by her reaction though, which is why his smile widens even more earnestly, and he laughs lightly.]
Did I startle you with my dashing smile? I'm sorry; that much was not my intent.
Of course you were. [Worst nightmare realized. Though she really should've seen it coming.]
You call that dashing? Standing in front of a young girl's tent grinning ear to ear like some creep? [She hmphs at that and steps out of her tent fully now, annoyed now] So what do you want? No wait, better yet, don't tell me. As if the answer isn't obvious enough with you. [Walking past you now Inigo]
W-what? A creep? [He whines a bit as he speaks. That's such a low blow.] A creep would have malicious intentions, but I assure you I have none of those at all! I was simply, erm, peacocking, perhaps?
[--Wait, no, that's entirely weirder than what he means. He quickly stops himself and backtracks, mentally digging for some solution to stop Severa from walking away. Uh. Compliments? Compliments.]
A-ah, I just wanted to admire you, is all! And I must say, your hair looks beautiful today. Did you do something new with it?
[She sighs and rolls her eyes. You're just proving her point further, Inigo. Go on, keep talking. She brushes the compliment completely off too. Flattery will get you no where, especially with her I'm afraid.]
So you decided to admire me by standing in front of my tent for Gods knows how long, waiting for me to come out? Gods you really are a creep. [She couldn't be more sure that this defines it really]
[She wouldn't be the Ice Queen without her totally blowing him off, so he isn't the least bit surprised. Being called a creep still does kind of hurt, though he tries not to present himself in a legitimately offended manner. Being upset isn't attractive; he needs to stay confident and obnoxiously blissful.
So without a beat, he continues.]
W-well... that's not all I wanted to do. They say the best way to begin a day is with a smile, so I decided to lend you my own.
[And then he throws her a toothy grin. Again. He's grasping at straws here.]
[If there's one thing she can ever give you credit for Inigo, it's being a stubborn and determined mule. But how many straws can you grasp at before you crumble?]
Yes, because if there's one thing I need, it's your smile to start my day. Look, I don't have time for your stupid flattery games today. [Oh if only she never had the time to be even remotely around any of their stupid games] I have things to do. [She waves a hand as if to try and shoo him off]
[Many, of course. It's only midday, so his flirting steam has not run out just yet.
Hearing her say that to him (even if it is entirely sarcastic) is music to his ears though, so he moves his hands away from his hips and ostentatiously bows before her.]
Well I'm happy to have been able to deliver. [And then he straightens back up, ready to take the opening she provided him with.] Would going out for tea with me be one of those things you have to do, by any chance?
[Man even the smallest things can fuel your fire huh, Inigo? Even if they are definitely not meant to.]
Ugh, does it sound like wasting any of my time with you is part of what I have to do today?? [Granted she is kinda. spending time with him right now b-BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE HE'S STICKING TO HER LIKE GLUE AND WON'T LEAVE baka] I have way more important things to do. Why don't you go throw yourself at some other girl who's stupid enough to fall for your flattery?
[And Inigo recognizes that, which is precisely why he points it out.]
Technically you are wasting some of your time on me right now. So why not waste some more time with a charmer like me, but over tea?
Besides, I couldn't imagine asking any other girl besides you out! [Bullshit.] It's precisely that cute pouting and cold shoulder that draws me to you in the first place. [Not bullshit.]
Gods, do you think anyone is stupid enough to believe that?? [She can believe the second part but the first part? There probably isn't one girl (or person) by now who doesn't know that that's complete bullshit right off the bat.]
I'm done wasting any more of my time on you. I'm busy, so just leave me alone! You're going to make me miss the sales! [SHE CAN'T MISS THOSE INIGO SHE SAW SOME CUTE THINGS THE OTHER DAY. and she. kinda needs to get to them for Robin too. Walking faster past you now]
Ahah, well... then! I couldn't imagine asking any other girl besides you out... today! [Ah? Ah? That's more believable, right?
--Wait, no, she's leaving! Perhaps a little too desperate in tone, Inigo stammers and calls out:] --W-wait! Sales, you say? If you're going shopping, you'd need a strong muscular man to help hold your bags, wouldn't you? I would never dare leave a lady to lug around such weight when she's trying to enjoy herself.
[Yes. That sounded great! Is he flexing now? He's flexing. His sleeves are so poofy that she wouldn't even be able to tell though and would just see him raising his arm in a position to flex.]
