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!

[Yup, she was blushing once more! As Yukiko squeezed it more, the brighter Fuuka got!]

T-Then, I'm not going to change my mind about you either! You're really pretty and...really kind too!

Good. I wouldn't want that. Especially since...y'know...we're dating and all.

Though...I have to wonder how our parents will take it.

[Of course she had to bring her parents up. While she didn't really want to think about it, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

She didn't say anything in response, she let the moment rest in silence for a few minutes before she said something]


...I....I don't know. But I know my parents wouldn't know how to take it. They didn't want to see me becoming a trainer, I doubt they'll be happy to see me dating someone.

Well...

[Yukiko smirked a bit and kept holding Fuuka tight against her.]

You're already a trainer. They'll learn to accept it. Mine will probably flip too, because they wanted me to marry some noble boy. But that's not happening.

So, let them be upset. They'll get over it.

[With that, the girl just stared at Yukiko with wide eyes]

A noble boy? Goodness, then I hope that I'm better than him! I'll have to do my best to impress your parents somehow!

Or at least do something that might change their mind!

[Yukiko grinned back, and bent down to plant a quick kiss on Fuuka's nose. And then looks around, like she's done something incredibly naughty]

Dear. You've already proven you're better to me. And I don't care what my parents think. You're amazing.

[Fuuka was never going to get use to this much affection was she? As she covered her nose, she too looked around to see if anyone else had noticed!]

I-If you say so...I just want to be good enough for you though.

Never, ever doubt that you are. I wouldn't be with you if you werent'.

[Yukiko just smiles after that. And they have a pleasant evening]
