" This place .. " Words trailed off , the swordsman watching the streets as he kept his distance. " Mmmmm .. "

[stagefrights]

     "Lon'qu?" Tilting her head slightly, she questions the man in front.

Yes, that was definitely the scruffiness and hardiness of her fellow Shepherd. Moments passed as the dancer communicated with the fellow Feroxi, realising how comfortable she'd been feeling as these past months travelled by. "I promise it isn't bad here! T-There's no risen, so isn't that good?"

Very good for a start.

     姫】”The city has become much more lively than it was in the winter… It isn’t as boring, but there certainly are some suspicious looking people about…”

[stagefrights]

     "S-Suspicious looking people..?" The dancer shudders meekly at the though, not one part of her seemed to like the idea, let alone think of it. "It's better to keep away from people like that.." and-- "large crowds."

olivia and that one puppy she saved from that one psycho henry kid

[citta-alveare-deactivated201811]

Alrighty! It’s taken us a while, but we do need to note, there will be some special limits placed upon accessibility of the new districts! Further explanations will be published at a later date, though basically, the new districts will be exclusive in some ways! Some of the new districts will be open to only certain ranks on certain days, which should heighten their mystique.

It should be noted, however, that savior and equivalent ranks will be allowed in each district at any time that they like. They are the city’s VIPs at this point in time.

More beneath the cut.

❋ — | "Mother, I…I’m so glad! When I woke in that awful room, I was afraid I’d never set eyes on you or father again! And so soon after we’d all been reunited…!" 

[ Inigo rushes forward and takes Olivia’s hands, pressing them against his cheek, beaming. He’s on the verge of tears, but he’s so thrilled to see his mother safe that he doesn’t even attempt to hide it. ] 

"We must talk! There are so many things about this place I still don’t understand, even after watching that peculiar talking picture explain so many things…Perhaps you can teach me a little about this place. I mean…" He grins bashfully. "…you’ve already taught me everything I know." | — ❋

[stagefrights]

     "A-ah, so they told you the same thing? I'm still not sure why they brought us here, but I promise it so bad here. I must admit I thought the exact same thing... I-I was so surprised to see your father here-- and now you've come back to us!" Overwhelmed is anything but an understatement, cheeks flushing a hurried shade of pink as Inigo rushes forward.

Lightly fingers curl into his warm features, happily caressing her son as though it had been a life time since they last were in one another's presence.

"Yes, of course! I promise we'll speak about anything you wish to know, Inigo. As I said, I don't understand what they mean by experiments... but.. I swear I'll keep teaching you all I know," It was a strange meaning Olivia couldn't grasp, but no harm had come to her or Henry, so in her eyes all was well. "... I suppose first things first, where are you staying, Inigo?"

[armorhearted]

[armorhearted]

❋ — | "M-Mother…?" 

[ Inigo takes a half-step forward, his eyes widening with surprise. He thought he was alone here, but…is that really Olivia before him…? ] 

"Mother…! Is that…Is it really you?" | — ❋ 

[stagefrights]

    Head whips as soon as Olivia hears those words, she's surprised seeing Inigo again so soon, but a sudden happiness spreads over her once more.

"Ah, Inigo?" She calls, bright smile appearing on her features.

"Of course it's me! It's been a little while, hasn't it? Upsetting as it is that they brought us here, at least we can be together again!" Either way, Olivia is pleased the scientists brought her son here, for whatever reason... that is.

[kurxage]

      [ the rolls of fabric he was carrying were not particularly heavy, but there were a bunch of them, making it a bit difficult to see where he was going. coupled with heels on uneven pavement, the journey through the shopping district was a bit precarious, indeed. the last thing he needed was more things (after all, he couldn’t shop for clothes, as the rest of his money was dedicated for the supplies needed to make clothing), but alas, he had a shopping addiction. however, Kuranosuke got ahead of himself— and didn’t seen anyone coming until he’d accidentally whacked them with one of the fabric rolls ]

      ❝Ah—! Sorry about that, really. Can’t see over these dang things. You’re alright, yeah?❞

[stagefrights]

     Carefully stepping through the shopping district, especially while it was as busy as it had been, while delivering a bundle of flowers, making her way to the district with little trouble. Fingers pressed carefully around the golden jewellery latched upon her wrists, shimmering with the sun which radiated brightly on the cities gaze. Without watching ahead, a thwack sounded solemnly across the front of her crown.

     "H-Ha--?" Hands bashfully cover the front of her face, pink spreading onto her cheeks, as she holds her embarrassment in check. "I-It's fine! I should've been more careful, too..." Olivia admits, hands moving to her side now. "I'm fine, I think..? Are you alright?"

[severaly]

this was a smoooove moooove of a job | closed / olivia

[severaly]

Surprised, Severa hadn’t gotten the memo, but this relieved her a bit. She knew that the day spent with someone that she knew would be better than nothing. Two females alone within the shop didn’t seem so bad, specially since one of them was straight forward and the other, not so much. Closing her eyes as a sigh left from her lips, out of all Shepherds, she was content with this choice and couldn’t even believed that Olivia was working within the shop. But it did fit her. Slowly getting up to her feet, "Well, it’s not bad but it ain’t exciting either."

She’d never tell anyone how she truly felt about certain things and this being one of them, walking over to the older female. "You get it, it would be sad if you got him flowers, but." Not like anyone was going to get him some anyway. Crossing her arms as she drummed her fingers against her elbow, “Are you even okay? There’s no one even here and you’re breaking into stutters, but that’s all the time, ain’t it?”

Contemplation as she looked towards the various flowers within the small building, she allowed one of her hands to grab a flower. It was a rose, she made sure to be careful of the thorns but her curiosity of how the plant felt against the sharp areas had she rubbed her thumb against the extension. "So am I to show you around, you’d think they’d put us with people we didn’t know. You know for first impress— ahHH!?"

At that moment, accidentally did she knock of the rose off the flower (even cutting her finger), the petals falling onto the floor as she threw the stem over to Olivia. "Look what you did!! You have to pay for that." Accusing the other of her faults, Severa took a step back.

[stagefrights]

    For Olivia, as she was, nerves entered her being as quickly as the wind would change. On the other hand... sending her son flowers was embarrassing, even having Severa state so. The dancer could only note that the other knew her son better-- coming from the future and spending a specific amount of time with Inigo. "Well, I don't want to embarrass Inigo, that's all..."

    Perhaps Severa was right, she didn't wish for her son to seem desperate, or embarrass him over a gift from his mother. Sometimes children needed to be left alone, so Olivia observed. Although, Severa was seemingly different from Inigo, somehow Olivia could foolishly attend to her words.

     Readying her answer for the fellow Shepherd, next she hears the younger, much to her own surprise, cut off midway. Olivia wasn't the fascinating of speakers, often she became intimidated, but usually felt at home while Severa could speak enough for the two of them-- until the next words spilled from the others' lips.

    "P-Pay?" Lightly she shrieks, concern spreading over her features while searching for the stem as it was thrown in her general direction. "... b-but I didn't do anything, Severa!" Oh gods, this wasn't going to end well, Olivia could already tell. "I mean... w-we're working together? So naturally... s-shouldn't that be our bosses decision...?"

    And this was exactly the reason why she stuttered often.

i draw this long time ago for the fire emblem artbook i was a part of !!!! sorry i only have old art im a failure dont look at me

[stagefrights]

A bouquet of a dozen pink roses— the outer petals tinged with glitter— is left by her bedside table, with the stems tied around the middle in a light pink ribbon. Just like how she had, he leaves a note on light purple paper; his scrawl is naturally messy, but he hopes that she can read it.

Hi, Olivia! It's funny, I used to think that this sort of holiday was just a bunch of nonsense... But now, I'm happy that I have someone to spend it with.

      Oh, don't worry! All of my days are wonderful, when I'm with you. In fact, seeing you always puts a smile on my face, so I don't know why I need this special day to tell you how much I love you!!

He pauses, tapping the pen against his lip, before he continues to write. The phrase is bizarre to him, but if she had written it, then there was no harm in following suit.

With love,                                      Henry.

     Always a surprise, she's pleased-- at least, the roses gifted are all in tact, beautiful as they were dainty. She was still learning the traditions of this city, a new country to explore; her face lights up immediately, picking up the purple paper between her petite fingers.

    Simple words were enough to bring a smile to her face, she was certain why she managed to write those words-- Olivia wished she could be more delicate in her words, she felt silly by this point. He managed to speak the words she couldn't, knowing the final part to be true. No one needed a day, even so it was nice.

    Bringing the roses to the bridge of her nose, the dancer sniffs each one, watching as sparkles glistened in front of her very eyes.

[stagefrights]

     "O-oh, I love you furry much too, Inigo!" How darling. "Thank you!"

[stagefrights]

❀ iscream, you scream ``

[plegify]

"Aw, it’ll be no fun if I tell you…!" He initially rejects the idea, wagging a friendly finger at her. There exists little doubt in his mind that what he had in store would most definitely please her to some degree. They cross over into the next Sector, and he exhales a breath that he hadn’t been aware that he’d been holding, squeezing her hand gently when they do, in silent reassurance of her safety.

"But okaay, I guess I can give you just one hint— it has something to do with a holiday coming up!" He beams at her, with ill-concealed enthusiasm. To him, there was nothing more beautiful than her smile, and surely, he would be granted that smile again, a sign of her approval.

Leaving her to think about that for the remainder of their brief journey, he eagerly continues, making a turn here, there… until he halts them in front of a large confectionery store, decorated nicely with various pink, red streamers. Even now, the store bustles, with individuals exiting with their chocolate creations, or entering, in hopes of selecting something nice for a significant other. Pale eyes faintly scan over the shop’s name, to confirm that he’d led her to the right location, giving her a resolute nod.

"Ta-daaa!" With a grin, he holds a hand up, gesturing at the store. "Look, it’s some kind of cool Valentine’s Day thing! I thought it’d be nice, for us— oh, and for Inigo, too," he adds. The mage was still unused to talking about his son so casually, but he was as fond of the mercenary as he assumed that his older self would be.

Excitedly, he scampers forward to open the door, holding it ajar for her, adding a small, content laugh. "Shall we?"

[stagefrights]

     Olivia knew those words to be correct, no matter what the surprise was, she knew it would be spectacular. Henry was always full of surprises, which is what initially drew her to him-- aside from the unforeseen circumstances where they met one another. She knew very well what holiday it was, but as her own enthusiasm grew, Olivia still wanted to be surprised. "You've got me there, Henry! I wonder what it could be...!!" 

    During their journey she mulled over the surprise, keeping hold of his hand between her own; lightly giving a squeeze, as they walked. Chest heaved slightly as thoughts wandered towards his words. Dizziness cursed the dancer, when the final stop was made; eyes glanced hesitantly and excitedly towards the heavily decorated store. In Olivia's eyes, it was one of the most spectacular events she'd witnessed in her short life.

     "O-Oh, Henry!" The bright shades of pink catch her eyes, juggling from one fixture to the next, catching a look back to meet with Henry's gaze. "I've never experienced anything like this before! And really, it's beautiful!" Eyes glued closely to the many people leaving the store with goods wrapped within their hands, to the pieces pinned firmly within the windows, she caught her senses off guard at the mention of their son. "H-Huh, oh... Inigo!" For a moment Olivia hesitated her words, stunned and preoccupied with her currents gatherings, quickly turning to face Henry. "He'd like something like this, r-right?"

     She needed moments to gather her thoughts on their son, after all his arrival happened so suddenly. Still, he was a vital part of the pair, and she wished to know him better. "... do you think he might show up? Maybe he's here too-- Gods, I shouldn't ask such a question..." In the short time Olivia had grown fond of her son, but knowing his flashy appearance-- or rather his love for the ladies, this was the perfect holiday for him.

     "Thank you for bringing me here! I really appreciate it!" With a nod, she walks through the door, meeting the different shades of pink, and red which graced every turn. It managed to overwhelm Olivia's senses, not entirely knowing what this certain holiday entailed-- aside from spending it with your loved one. "I'm lucky you heard about this!" Voiced honeyed with surprise, she bites the bottom of her lip. "Truthfully, I never expected you to be into this kind of thing."

[gunplagoddess]

"It’s fine… I didn’t really expect much…."

She would find her way. That much was simple. It was just troubling that she wasn’t going to find her way very fast.

"…. I guess that’s all anyone knows then. No one’s bothered to even try to figure it out…?"

She looked away, a half pout on her face.

"No it’s alright… thank you for your time… um….?" What was her name…?

[stagefrights]

    "If there's anywhere you need to go, I can try my best and help guide you!" Stumbling on her words, she offers a sudden smile; continuing to calm her own nerves the best she could. "... there's strange things called cars.. and trains? I think that was it."

    Vehicles had scared the dancer the moment she arrived, not knowing who, or rather what they were.

     "I guess so... w-well, not that I'm aware of," Deflating slightly, she manages to pick herself back up a moments later. "... I think if we did, many of us wouldn't be here.." At least she wouldn't be. "Oh, you're very welcome! I try my best to help people, e-even if it isn't much."

    "Olivia, nice to meet you," Even while she didn't know the other's name.

[stopstahling]

“Oh Olivia! Gods! Is it truly you?” He stares at her in awe, “Oh hold on, my apologies!!" He quickly looks around for a paper and quil, but finds a strange utensil instead. It seemed to do the same as a quil. So he eagerly wrote on the paper:

Im so pleased to see you! I was wondering if you are doing alright here in this city. I know it can be quite big and that you are often nervous easily. How does your husband fair? And what of Inigo? Do you know if any of the other shepards are around?

[stagefrights]

    "Yes, I suppose so...!" she isn't sure on what to say but that, aside from catching the fellow Shepherd... eating flowers... strange, but very like him. Olivia waits, blinking rapidly towards the paper; reading each word before answering.

   "The same for you! I'm pleased to see you here, even if the city makes me feel uneasy, I think I'm learning... Henry is faring well, he is also here in the city! As for Inigo? I'm not certain, I suppose it would be the same for him! As for yourself?" she breathes, smiling upon a familiar face, now recalling the many Shepherds which grazed the Hive. "A fair few.. O-Oh.. Severa is here! I'm sure you already know that, though.. Hmm, aside from myself, Henry, Inigo, Severa and yourself... I think that's all I know." Hopefully they'd all come together again, one day.

    "Why are you eating flowers, of all things?"

[stopstahling]

Ah flowers… I wonder if I could eat them.

[stagefrights]

    "S-Stahl..?" Put down those flowers.
