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!

[She's not saying it, but there's a definite I'm-fine-mom tone there.]
Armor, though...Fire is a weakness I can't mitigate myself, and after this, I think it's worth the investment to try and do so with equipment. Armor is Caldera's specialty, right?
no subject
It is, [he said, answering the question with the ease of an academic.] There are a few engineers from Caldera currently residing in Union....and there are stories from an older time that tell of how the smiths from Caldera and the Magi from Sanctuary worked together to craft fine weapons and armor. It may take some time, but if you're willing to be patient, we may be able to craft armor that will be perfect for you.
no subject
[She sighs.]
I should also probably look into what I need to evolve again. I know an evolutionary stone is involved, and I think I'm close to the limit of my potential in this form.
no subject
[He hadn't studied up on the Honedge evolutionary line terribly much-- although he knew that he should with his weakness to Ghost-types-- but her words made sense on a very basic level.]
And we'll need to talk to an engineer about that too, although it will likely be an easier solution than making you custom armor.
no subject
[Seriously, it's getting a rare genuine smile out of her.]
But for now, we should probably concentrate on...
[She thinks about it. "Relaxing" can't be right. She looks around at the crowded room.]
...not being overwhelmed.
no subject
That...sounds like a good plan, [he replied, hoping that Saber wouldn't notice the flush creeping onto his cheeks.] You looked like you needed a break from the people.
no subject
It's strange, but...even among Pokémon, I've never been a part of something like this. Not that Honedges are know for their wild parties, but...
...
It just feels more natural to stand to the side and let everyone else enjoy themselves.

It's awkward wanting to get to know about human society when society is just...intimidating isn't the right word, but it's close.
no subject
Sometimes, that's part of being a person too, Saber. It's normal. Some people just don't like crowds, that's all.
no subject
[She thinks.]
I wonder if my ghost half was like that in my past life, or if I just got used to being fairly alone in a tomb.
no subject
I mean, even if your personality was a little different in your previous life, that doesn't change the 'you' that you are now. Honestly, it's not a bad thing. The world needs introverted people as much as it needs extroverted people.
no subject
[She's not sure she's going to drop the idea, but she will back off from the subject for now. She smirks a bit.]
That means the world needs you too, then, right?
no subject
...You may be right, in that. Even though I'm not much of a Magus, everyone has something they can share.
