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!

[ Entei looks toward Feliks. It may or may not have stew on its muzzle. Okay but being dignified while eating stew is hard when you're a dog don't judge :C ]

"Thanks are not necessary, child. This one was simply passing through."
niepokonany: (It's who I am. And it's my home.)

Yeah, well, you "simply passing through" kind of really saved us. And "us" includes a lot of the humans and Pokemon I care about, so I'm gonna thank you anyway.

[...There's definitely a little stew. Feliks tries not to look, but that doesn't work, so he brings out a handkerchief.]

...Um, you've got a little something right... [He gestures towards his own lower face.] ...Want me to get it for you?

[He'd just hand over the handkerchief, but the god doesn't really have hands, does he?]

"In that case, you are more than welcome."

[ Entei blinks a few times, looking down at the handkerchief and Feliks' hand. The fiery dog points at its own face with its paw curiously. ]
niepokonany: (How can we be sure)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-10-17 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
H-Here.

[He reaches over to clean Entei's muzzle off, a little nervous about whether or not touching a god is disrespectful, but then again, he's literally thrown a punch at one in the last day, so it's hardly the worst thing he's done at any rate, is it?]

[ Entei moves its chin a bit so that Feliks can clean him up. Are... are these like the legendary pets? Entei has seen Suicune get love from the children of Glacier, is this what it's like?! ]

"Thank you, child."
niepokonany: (I'm so thrilled)

[That little chin movement sort of reminds Feliks of his Growlithe, though it seems silly to compare the two whatsoever in his mind. Without really thinking about it, he pets the god underneath the chin a little bit.]

No problem!

[ What is this?! W-what is Entei supposed to do at a time like this?! Unsolicited human affection?! Please human, scritch more. ]

"Hmm. This one... This one believes that there may be a bit more. Ah, yes, this one can feel it. Would you be so kind?"
niepokonany: (Is ever gonna bring me down)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-11-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Well... if a god wants chin-scritches, Feliks certainly isn't going to deny it that.]

Yeah, can do! Like, there?

[He's just going to call on all his experience spoiling his own Pokemon senseless to provide the best scritches possible!]

[ Oh. Oh yes, that was rather nice. Perhaps there was something to this human companionship thing after all, at least in moderation. Happy volcano dog is happy. ]
niepokonany: (Waiting on some beautiful boy)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-11-03 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Is it weird to think a god is being adorable?]

[Unquestionably.]

[But Feliks is willing to just keep rolling with it.]
