For seven months after receiving the news of Lon'qu's death, Olivia keeps on teaching Inigo swordplay and dance routines. Then five months later, they received news of the war ending with Walhart's defeat. With this news, Olivia hopes that Lon'qu's body will be brought home so she could give him a proper burial. For now, she focuses on Inigo's training.
One day, unexpected guests arrive in Olivia's home. Olivia is teaching Inigo a new dancing move when a loud cry of a beast sounded from the skies. Mother and son looks at the direction of where the sound came from. They saw a wyvern flying towards them. Olivia is about to instruct Inigo to hide when a familiar, flirtatious voice calls out. Looking back at the wyvern, Olivia could see two riders. The first rider is a woman with flowing red hair, while the second behind the first rider is the familiar pale-lavender haired Virion.
"Is that who I think it is? My! It is the lovely Olivia!" Virion calls out as he waved his hand. Whatever he is about to say next is lost when the wyvern cries again.
Olivia and Inigo remained in their place as the wyvern landed. Virion jumps off, followed by his red-haired female companion.
Virion approaches and gives Olivia his best smile. After a dramatic bow, he starts to speak. "Olivia, my dear. It's been so long since we've met. And my, you still look so radiant like the sun that rises to greet the morning."
Olivia blushes. "Hee hee. You're flattering me. And you've never changed."
"Of course. I am still the wonderful and best archer among all archers! But you, you remain beautiful like a lily on a valley, a star that guides lost voyagers, a-"
His smiling companion interrupts. "Love, don't forget our purpose."
Virion slightly stiffens in nervousness before returning to his old self. "Oh, yes, yes. Fear not, I have not forgotten, love. But first... Olivia, may I present to you the most beautiful and loving woman, my wife, Cherche. Cherche, this here is the most wonderful dancer, Olivia."
Olivia smiles at Cherche. "It's nice to meet you, Cherche."
Cherche smiles back. "Same here, Olivia."
Virion speaks up. "Everyone from the Shepherds send their regards. The great tactician, Robin; the bright and joyful, Lissa; the tough and strong woman, Sully; the most intellectual genius, Miriel; the -"
"Love..." Cherche said with a smile. Just that one word that sounds like a threat made Virion shut up. Cherche chuckles and she spots Inigo, who is peeking behind Olivia's skirt. "Your son?" she asks Olivia.
"Yes." Olivia answers proudly. "His name's Inigo."
Virion smiles. "Really?" he looks at Inigo. "Hello, Inigo."
Inigo didn't greet back, rather, he hides behind Olivia. Virion and Cherche chuckle.
"He's just like our Gerome, dear." said Cherche to Virion before facing Olivia. "Our son is also shy when it comes to strangers."
"Really? Where is he?" asks Olivia.
Virion answers. "With the war going on back in our homeland, we decided to leave him in Ylisse."
Cherche nods in agreement. "Yes. We thought he'll be safe there. And maybe overcome his shyness."
"Last I saw him, he was befriended by Lucina." Virion proudly said.
Olivia tilts her head. "Who's Lucina?"
"She's Chrom's and Robin's daughter."
"Oh. That's nice."
The wyvern cries. Cherche turns to look at the wyvern. "What is it, Minerva?" the wyvern cries again. "Oh, you're right." Cherche turns back to Olivia. "We're sorry, but we can't stay long."
The smiling Virion becomes serious. "Indeed. Not only we've come to see you, but to tell you that Exalt Chrom will meet the new king of Plegia. Another thing. With Khan Basilio gone and Khan Flavia will accompany the Exalt, bandits will boldly attack villages. So you need to be careful."
Olivia nods her head. "Okay... Oh, have you... Have the soldiers retrieved Khan Basilio's body... And Lon'qu's?"
Virion sadly shakes his head. "No. There was no time to get the bodies of the fallen. I'm sorry, Olivia."
Olivia gives Virion a sad smile. "I understand. Thanks for the news."
"The others send their regards... And condolences, too."
"Okay. Please give them my thanks."
After waving goodbye to Virion and Cherche, Olivia cheerfully faces Inigo. "I think we need to go to the village and buy food. C'mon, let's prepare."
Inigo just nods his head and remained silent. It never escapes his notice that Mother is sad because Father's body will never be brought here, hiding her sadness behind a smile, and going to the village is an excuse to cheer themselves.
...
Olivia bought some vegetables she needed to cook for their meal. She takes out her list to check if there's something she missed, but a gale blows the paper from her hand.
"I'll get it!" said Inigo and chases the flying list.
Olivia stays where she's standing and watches Inigo trying to catch the paper. When the paper stops flying and lands on the ground, Inigo picks it up. Happy that the paper is in his hands, Inigo runs back to Olivia. It so happens that he crossed paths with two mothers. The mothers recognize Olivia's son and they stop him to speak with him. Inigo stiffens, blushing with shyness, and runs towards Olivia.
"Mother!" Inigo cries as he hugs Olivia tightly. "Let's go home now, please?"
Olivia sympathizes with Inigo. "Okay."
...
Gentle snow falls from the dimly lit sky, covering the road and flower fields in all pristine white. But the flowers of color deep blue and pink struggles to stay alive, peaking through the blanket of snow that covered them, watching Mother and Son walking towards their isolated home.
Inigo looks up at Olivia. "Mother, I wish I'm not so shy so I can talk with people."
Seeing Inigo's sad face melts Olivia's heart. "I know how you feel because I'm also shy around people, too."
"You can still talk with others and you dance for them. Me? I always keep quiet and run to you. What can I do to stop being shy, Mother?"
"... I don't know. I wish I can make your father a good example. He can talk with the others but he's shy around girls. *sigh* We are such a shy family. Sometimes, I wish we have that great confidence of Virion's-" an idea comes through her that might help Inigo. "Inigo, I think I know the solution!"
"What is it, Mother?"
"Try talking with girls."
"W-What?"
"Talk to girls. Remember Virion? He's so confident because he can talk to girls."
"Hmm... I don't know..."
"All you do is bravely walk to a girl, give praises, tell them they look like a flower, a buttercup, whatever... Just copy how Virion did it. Tomorrow, let's give it a shot. Don't worry, I'll be nearby to cheer for you. What do you say?"
Inigo is still thinking about it. He looks up and nods his head. "Okay. But you better be near."
Olivia laughs. "Sure."
