The atmosphere gradually warms up as the weeks go by in the world of Eyre. In Faerindell, the flowers are more and more beautiful and blooming, the sun embellishes them with its rays. The leaves of the trees take on a much more pronounced, vibrant pink color as nature grows and flourishes profusely as summer slowly comes. Festivals and nightly parties begin gradually, with the small population of Faerindell preparing for the next summer events at their own pace.

 

Oletta joins more and more often the elnins with whom she works. As the principal dancer, she takes care of the choreography of the small dance troupe, as well as the training and learning of the less experienced elnins. She then spends most of her mornings rehearsing with them, the afternoon she devotes herself to developing the choreography, which she prefers. Oletta loves to take inspiration from the fairytale landscapes of Faerindell and choose the settings according to where they occur. When she orders the costumes, she always makes sure to harmonize according to the place where they will be to give a more beautiful effect to their dance.

 

One day after the lunch break, Oletta goes to meet some old friends who travel in a caravan. Installed for barely two days, she waited until they were able to land a little before joining them to spend an afternoon with them. While walking a little outside the city, Oletta first finds Milka and Yaos, the father walking with his little one, showing him the beauty of Faerindell's nature.

- Milka! Yaos!

 

Oletta runs towards them and then gently hugs Yaos, cuddling him gently.

 

- Awww you have grown so much ! You will soon be even taller than daddy !

 

- Ooooh yes I hope so! I want to be like him when I grow up!

 

Milka laughs tenderly.

 

- Ahaha, prepare yourself well then, young man, you still have a long way to go. In any case, I am delighted to see that little Oletta is doing wonderfully!

 

They chat a bit as they join the caravan where the others are, Oletta putting Yaos back to the ground. The kittoms run up to her to say hello, the elnin almost being swarmed until Hedera claps her hands.

 

- Come on children, let Oletta breathe a little! Go back to your activities, you will have the opportunity to play with her these next days!

 

The little ones leave her, then Oletta comes to greet Hedera with enthusiasm. She then feels arms gently wrapping around her.

 

- Oletta my dear! Oh my, you're even cuter than last time! I will absolutely have to make you wear my latest creations ~

 

- Isa! I'm so glad to see you again, I missed you so much!

 

Oletta embraces her in turn, then Akane, and then goes to greet the other adults, Tendo not failing to retain her a little, charming her as usual. Isabelle picks her up quickly while Oletta is somewhat embarrassed.

- Ahahaha! You will get used to it one day!

 

- S-Sorry, I'm just... I don't have a lot of experience in love, you know ...

 

The Elnins discuss for a moment among themselves, those of the troop telling Oletta their journey in the different regions as well as the Elnins they have met so far. Isa even takes the opportunity to dress Oletta with some of her outfits and extracts some information from her about this mysterious pendant that she is wearing and which is not at all feminine. After telling her about her meeting with Katsuki and her few dates - where they spend most of the time training or eating the cookies Oletta is baking - one of the new little ones approaches her. Ricqlès' daughter, Mabon asks her with enthusiasm :

 

- Hey! Dad said you can dance! Can you teach me ? Please !

 

Oletta smiles at her and then takes the opportunity to escape from Isa and her embarrassing questions about the famous Katsuki she met. She comes to gently stroke the head of the little one.

 

- But of course sweetie ! We can do this all together if you want! Can you go look for the others? ~

 

Mabon nods and then goes to look for the other interested kittoms, namely her brother Yule as well as Yaos (pulling him out of his drowsiness), Kami, Kintsu, Liwood and Baba. The other little ones just watch them with curiosity. Mabon and Yaos even take the opportunity to lure their fathers into the improvised little class. Akane begins to clap enthusiastically.

 

- Come on children, listen carefully to what Oletta is telling you!

 

Oletta then shows them some simple movements, the kittoms having fun quickly reproducing them, each with their own style and energy. The two sisters, Baba and Liwood, take the opportunity to annoy their friends a bit while Kami and Yaos help the two younger ones when they are having a little more trouble. Oletta teaches them a few steps and then makes them all dance together, including of course Ricqlès and Milka, who have more difficulty than kittoms in reproducing dance steps.

 

- I love to dance ! It is so much fun! Mabon says, quite happy as she dances with Yaos.

 

- Haaaah Baba, stop walking on my tail! - grumbles Liwood at her sister.

 

- Kamiiii come on, we'll dance together!

 

The little ones have so much fun that the adults and even little Bubo end up joining them, having a very eventful afternoon.

 

- These young people! You'd better work to fill the cash register, we're a little tight .... Tssssk... Ebeninzer grumbles, but without aggressiveness in his voice.

 

The afternoon passes at high speed, and finally the sun begins to set when the kittoms are finally exhausted from dancing and playing so much. Ricqlès and Milka collapse on the ground, dead from fatigue. The others laugh when they see them like this, then Tendo approaches Oletta, gently taking her by the waist.

 

- Well princess, would you give me the last dance? ~

 

Oletta's eyes widened, her embarrassment suddenly growing under the charming air of the Elnin. But her thoughts are soon cut off by a familiar voice.

 

- OI THE SEDUCER !!! Take your hands off her !!

Tendo suddenly pulls back, letting go of Oletta who turns to the newcomer, her eyes shining.

 

- Katsuki ...! But ... we had to meet in town ...

 

Katsuki greets the other members of the caravan with a nod of the head, then looks at Ricqlès still slumped to the ground.

 

- Hah? But what happened here ?? AND YOU HERE you're my brother right ? You're supposed to be a stronger than that!

 

Ricqlès ends up getting up, but quickly finds himself swarmed by the kittoms.

 

- Oh uh ... It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired ...!

 

Katsuki returns his attention to Oletta and Tendo, growling at the male.

 

- Hey you, don't touch girls like that !! Where did you allow yourself to hold her back, hah ?? You want to fight ???

 

Tendo pulls back, waving his hands.

 

- Oh no no, I'm far from having the idea of wanting a fight !!

 

Isa refrains from laughing when she sees her friend like this. Katsuki then turns to Oletta and growls at her in turn, but more gently.

 

- And you, Oletta ... haven't you seen what time is it ? You're over an hour late, you're abusing!

 

Oletta shyly lowers her head.

 

- Excuse me Katsuki, I'm really wrong on this one! I had not forgotten you, you know. But thank you for coming to pick me up ...!

 

Seeing how the female Elnins in the caravan are watching them, Katsuki turns away, gently grabbing Oletta by the arm, hiding his nervousness.

 

- Well ... I'm taking her with me. Oletta, you're going to have to work harder in training tonight.

 

- Yes of course! ~ - replies the elnin lady with a light laughter.

 

Hedera shouts at them as they walk away.

 

- Hey Katsuki, take care of Oletta for us!

 

Oletta turns around one last time looking at them, visibly embarrassed as Katsuki waves them goodbye with his tail. The small troop watch them go away laughing, Isa taking advantage to gently tease Tendo.

 

- What a day !
