Month of Pink's day twenty-four is a day that continues the dance.
-:-
Olivia was blushing up a storm at the moment. Normally she wouldn't be so shy about what she was about to do, considering she was a dancer, but she was asked to dance for the entire camp as a way to boost morale. Again, she wouldn't be as shy about it since she knows everyone here, but she had heard the murmurs amongst some of the men. They talked about her looks and her body and that made her self-conscious about it.
"Don't worry so much, Mom. Just think of it as any other performance!"
The pink-haired dancer turned to her son, who had a wide grin on his face as he gave her some encouragement.
"I d-don't know, Inigo. I d-don't know if I can do it th-this time," replied Olivia with a quiver.
"…Is this about what some of the other men have been talking about?"
Olivia's blush came back full force. It was bad enough that she had heard them, but for her son to have heard them…so embarrassing.
"I-Inigo!"
"Ah, I wouldn't worry too much about it, Mom," replied the sellsword with a shrug. "It's not as bad as what they say about Tharja. Of course Robin didn't take it too well when he found out."
"Th-That's not the point!" said Olivia with a squeak. Oh how she wished she could go hide under a rock right now.
"Yes it is…mainly because I didn't like what I was hearing either."
Olivia blinked in confusion as she looked at her son, who had a frown on his face as he avoided eye contact.
"Inigo?"
"…I may have threatened bodily harm upon anyone who talked about you in such a way," replied Inigo, still refusing to look his mother in the eye.
The dancer's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. To hear that Inigo would harm his own comrades, because of her, was disconcerting. Grabbing her son's face, she forced him to look at her.
"Inigo, I do not want you to threaten our friends again. Do you understand?"
"But Mom! They were speaking lewd about you!" cried Inigo with wide eyes. How could his mother allow this?!
"M-Maybe so, but they are still our friends and I do not need you to create a tension in the group. If it gets to be to much, talk with Chrom or Robin about it."
"…What if I ask Tharja to hex them? That'll make them stop for sure!"
"Inigo…"
Inigo flinched at the tone Olivia used. While Olivia was at most times very shy and soft-spoken, there were times when she got serious and she could be just as scary as Tharja at times. For some reason she only used that tone when it involved him.
"Okay, Mom. I'll seek Chrom's or Robin's help if it happens again."
A beaming smile appeared on Olivia's face. "Thank you, Inigo!"
"You're welcome. By the way, shouldn't you get ready for your performance?"
"Eep!" squeaked Olivia as she rushed to get prepared.
Once she was ready she joined the others who had gathered in the center of the camp and started her dance for them. While she was embarrassed earlier, her son inadvertently given her the courage to continue with his need to protect her. That's why she decided to dance tonight and not let the words get to her.
So she would protect Inigo from doing something he might regret.

After all these years, I still don't know who would be the logical husband for Olivia. Ironically, I still don't know who would be the most logical wife and mother for Inigo and Soleil respectively.
