Robin's cousin, Vere, is possibly the grandest cliff the girl has ever thrown herself off of.

When Robin first came to Amber, in her grey times, Vere's distance and coolness led the Ranger to think that, perhaps, he didn't like girls.  So she resolved to keep her distance from Gerard's bookish and far too clever son.  But Robin feels that you can tell a lot about a person by whom they call friend.  And so, when a chance meeting in Danu brought her into contact with Siege, Vere's best friend, she returned to Amber with eyes open and heart listening to the sound of her bookish and oh so clever cousin.

The *symphony* that she heard astounded her.  Within the space of two conversations in as many days, Robin fell hopelessly and helplessly in love with Vere.  She feels that Vere is her... match.  Every weakness of hers is matched by a strength of his, every weakness of his matched by her strength.  Together, they are whole; beautifully and gloriously whole.

Even when apart from Vere, Robin finds herself constantly planning her life with Vere, thinking of his voice, remembing the sigh of the wind through his hair, his kisses... yep, she's falling.  And at the same time, flying.

As an additional bonus, for the first time since being 'outed' as a Royal of Amber, Robin feels that, in Vere's company and with his love, she just *might* avoid being added to Amber's Mad, Bad and Dead list.
