A/N: How's it going everybody!

Festival Bonds

Summary: Requested by Spluush. The Hoshidan Festival has arrived.

Castle Shirasagi

The Royal Castle of Hoshido that stands atop of a sheer-sided mountain. A place filled with luscious greenery, bright skies and majestic waterfalls. The slow roaming of clouds giving the illusion of a floating palace.

The brightness could not have been more exaggerated, for today was the day of a festival. A festival commemorating the growth of children. This would not have lasted long, for thieves and scoundrels have decided to ruin the festivities.

Luckily for the land, the Hoshido-Nohrian army managed to come in time, and end the chaos. The deed would not go unnoticed, for six of the army's children were given a special treatment. A treatment that reminded Odin and Laslow of their days back in their homeland.

The lucky children? The Sky Knight Shigure. The lazed butler Dwyer. The fashionable Forrest. The kind-hearted Midori. The optimistic Ophelia, and the dreaming Nina.

Too overkill? My bad…

"So this is what a festival looks like," Corrin said as he looked around, examining every inch of the place, careful to keep a close eye on his bag.

"You mean you've never seen a festival before?" A more than confused Oboro asked, startling Corrin, who immediately gripped his bag shut.

"Well, considering that I was trapped in some Nohrian tower like some damsel in distress for majority of my life… no."

"You poor thing…" Oboro softly spoke.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

A few awkward minutes of silence

"Here…" Corrin began, handing Oboro his plastic bag. "I uh… so you looking at it during the battle, so I decided to get it for you."

Oboro had a puzzled look on her face, but reached into the bag, pulling out an orange and blue fabric.

"Is this…"

"The same fabric you saw during that Nohr festival? Yes…"

"How did you...?"

"That same stall had a set-up here, so I decided to get it for you. Was it too much?"

"Too much," Oboro repeated, before pulling Corrin towards herself, into a hug. "Corrin, I love it!"

She then suddenly released herself.

"I got something for Kana, but I wish that I got you something as well…"

"Oboro," Corrin spoke. "Seeing you happy is good enough for me."

"Mama! Papa!" A young and squeaky female voice called out, before revealing it to be a rushing Kana.

"Kana, what is it?" Corrin asked.

"Did anything wrong happen?" Oboro added.

Kana paused for a brief moment to catch her breath, before she began. "No, nothing bad happened."

"Nothing bad happened?" Corrin raised a brow. "Then why'd you rush all the way here?"

"I just wanted to spend some time with you, after I spent a lot of it with the others." Kana spoke.

"All right then," Corrin began before he lifted up his daughter. "Where'd you like to go? After all, this IS a day about you right?"

"Before you decide," Oboro began, before Kana even had even the slightest opening. "I'd like to give you a little something."

"Really? What is it?" An overly-excited Kana asked.

Oboro dug for a while, before she removed a fake, but eerily realistic-looking, dark blue flower. "I remembered how much you liked the flower field you showed me, so I got you this."

"Wow, it's really pretty." Kana took the flower in delight. "Papa, do you think it's pretty too?"

"I guess it is…"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"She asked my opinion, and I answered. That's what it's supposed to mean."

"You're sleeping on the couch tonight." Oboro simply said, before gently taking Kana and walking away.

"What? I was just joking." Corrin pleadingly called out. "I think it's pretty. Heck, even the most beautiful thing in the world."

"Yup, you're DEFINITELY sleeping on the couch tonight." Oboro called back to him.

"After you of course!" Corrin said, suddenly realizing what he said.

"Wait," Kana began. "Mama, what did you mean about 'sleeping on the couch tonight'?"

"Just something between me and Papa," Oboro replied. "So, where do you want to go first?"

"Really? You're ignoring me?!" Corrin said in defeat before he facepalmed. 'Nice Job Corrin…'

Nice job INDEED!

A/N: And we're clear!

Spluush, if you're still reading, I hope this satisfied you enough.

Sorry for the SUPER long wait. I literally struggled with this one. It doesn't really help when your only guide consists of a couple translations. Come on Nintendo, release it in English already damnit!

Guest: Really wish I could continue this, but I don't want to drag this too long, since it might lose its… how you say "charm"…

TheDisneyFan365: It kinda is, but it's still considered Canon. I'm not really sure how.

Guest/DarkMaverick: I can see what you mean now, considering those supports were my only aid when I did this. And yes, they are kinda sweet.

Anyways, just one last chapter to go, and it's a wrap. Until next time, BYE!
