A Well Earned Celebration
[The battle was over and the god Reshiram defeated, driven away by the aid of Union and its allies. The city was safe, by and large, and as the news spread throughout the peoples of the tundra, they began streaming back into the settlement in droves. Dirty, ash-coated faces were filled with relief and gratitude when they saw that it wasn't just a rumor and that their home had indeed been spared. Not everyone was so lucky, but they'd weathered worse, of course. The people of Glacier endured, as they would always endure, and they were also a people that repaid their debts. And they most certainly all agreed that they owed their rescuers a debt.
So, as night fell after the battle, a great celebration was prepared in the center of Glacier. A wide square was cleared away in a matter of hours, and the people gathered what they could in a show of thanks. Tables of food, bonfires towering into the night sky to keep out the autumn chill, and throngs of cheering wellwishers lined the area. Warriors of glacier, men carrying swords and women all bearing axes offered enthusiastic handshakes and claps on the back. Music of all kinds was played, though tribal tunes full of horn and percussion, chanting and yodeling, and even some brass groups dominated the soundscape.
A platform for various elders was set up, and they offered speeches, of course...but those were somehow dwarfed by the presence of the divine beings that were waiting silently for the proceedings to end. Some of the gods that had come to the aid of the war parties had apparently decided to stay, though their reasons were as mysterious as they themselves. The humans would have their time, and the Servants would mingle freely throughout the evening.
Food, of course, is set out in piles. Meat, fish, arctic berries, and various pastries and the like line table after table. A smorgasbord of Glacier specialties, each with a new and unique flavor all their own, and some (such as the stew) possessing a smell that only a native could probably endure. Akutaq in particular seems to stand out among the worst offenders, but the Glacier natives seem rather fond of it, and offer it to their rescuers with great gusto.
And the rewards do not stop at simple meals. either. As the speeches begin to wind down, a woman some might find familiar walks up onto the stage carrying a singularly massive trunk and dropping it down onto the wood with a heavy thud.]
Southerners! You have done a great deed this day! We, the people of Glacier, would like to thank you and honor your sacrifice! Few would do as you have done, coming to the aide of strangers against the might of that dragon...and you have accomplished something we did not think possible. To that end, we would like to present you with the first of many gifts, a token of our gratitude and a promise that should you need it, we will come to your defense in a time of need!
[And then with a sharp kick, she cracks open the trunk and reveals a veritable treasure trove of three different stones to be distributed by her subordinates.]
Rest well, and enjoy the festivities! You are welcome here, for as long as you like! Eat, drink, and be merry within our halls!

[Yukiko looks down at her own drink]
Me too.

[Subject change? Subject change please.]

And then Suicune showed up, and saved us. And reminded me of why I'm fighting, I guess? I don't know. I know that I felt a kind of resolve I didn't before.
[She smiles weakly.]
And I realized I had a trick up my sleeve.
no subject
The other gods really did save us.
...
...what was the trick?
no subject
You know how in a lot of old stories, witches can do some really nasty things to people?
[She assumes Rise understands that.]
Curses and stuff? I just...got really, really angry, and cursed Reshiram. I [Now she grins.] I gave him Grass typing with my power. I...didn't know I could, but I was so, so angry and scared that I just...wanted to find a way to hurt it.
[Which made Ice effective again, as well as flying and poison.
And yes, she just compared herself to a forest witch.]
no subject
Er, I mean that in a good way. The best way! You contributed to the fight way more than I did...
[She honestly probably should be finding this scary, but in all honesty, she doesn't mind scary when it's from a friend.]
no subject
[Yukiko puts an arm around Rise, her eyes shifting back to normal, and she squeezes in a big sisterly fashion. She's grown up quickly, it seems.]
Rise, what happened with you?
no subject
[Reflexively, she wraps her arms around the older girl. She's not crying yet, but the sudden gesture of affection makes it a close thing.]
I messed up. I messed up everything we were trying to do before we even got to try...
no subject
What do you mean? What happened?! Because certainly not...
no subject
[...didn't believe what? Her own eyes? Or her own ideals?]
...I was on Analyst duty, and I told people to attack the human while Right was talking to the god. It was stupid. It was stupid and horrible of me...

[She chews on the inside of her lip for a second.]
In fact, it jumped in front of our attacks the say way Hagoromo jumped in front of its attacks a minute later...

[Rise cuts herself off at that. There's a lot of things she wants to say here, but they all sound really, really awful as she cues them up in her mind, and for once, she finds she doesn't know how to express herself.]
...I should have done better.
no subject
[Yukiko's voice is stern now, her eyes level.]
Because my girlfriend has a similar power, and she was taken completely off guard too.

Wait, you have a girlfriend?!
When did this happen? Who is it?
no subject
Um. I guess officially? About ten seconds after we beat Reshiram?
[Someone's face is beet red, and she mumbles...]
And it's Fuuka Yamagishi...
no subject
[Nothing like near death experiences against gods for bringing couples together. That was...basically the entire buildup to her relationship with Asemu, anyway.]
I didn't even know you were looking. Or that you were looking for girls, but that's a pattern with my friends, somehow...
