Settling In
The displaced Avengers had been taken back to the JLA headquarters and had been shown to quarters. Svalin may have stared at Jon a bit on the way back, but she looked away every time he looked at her or Vernique looked at both of them. There may have been some red on her cheeks when someone caught her looking at Jon.

Jon was familiar in a way, but Svalin couldn't place from where. It tickled at the back of her mind and would drive her crazy until she figured it out. For now she focused on what needed to be done.

Svalin dropped her belongings on the bed and pulled out her whet stone. She sat on the bed and started sharpening the edge of her sword. There was some time before they were to meet and discuss what was going to come next.

	Vernique sat down and started brushing her hair. "So, they sure know how to name them around here. Superboy. Very apt. Jumping in front of potentially fatal attacks and all that." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin said. "It wast a most fortunate thing he did so. Thou wouldst not be sitting here now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yep. And I'm appreciative -- although really, what kind of villains think to target the butterfly chick with something like that, really? But never mind. He's obviously very mature for his age -- I'm guessing he's in his very late teens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap," she said. "I hath not given it thought." Okay maybe she had, but she would never admit it. She wouldn't really admit to having thoughts about him at all. She kept her eyes on her sword and her head down so Vernique wouldn't see the small smile that she knew was on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once Svalin leaves the company of the others, she'll find that locating Superboy isn't that hard. The entire place is wired to computers that respond to voice command, as anyone that's a regular there can inform her. At the moment, he's in their gym facilities, practicing against a host of training drones. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin wandered by and caught sight of him out of the corner of her eye. She stopped and started to watch through the window. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-09 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. "Forgive me for interrupting thine workout. I wast just watching." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-01-09 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"Open doors." he instructs the computer, before heading out into the hall to join her. "No, no. No apologies needed. Sorry for running off after the meeting. I should be trying to help answer questions, make sure you guys are settling in ok. This has to be a bit of a shock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin's cheeks burned and she knew they were a bright red. She couldn't even look at him for a few minutes. Not until the heat in her cheeks died down a bit. Her brain needed a few moments to be able to control her mouth. She finally looked at him. "She canst be most devious," Svalin said. She didn't know what else to say. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He's in about the same state at first. She, thankfully, breaks the ice. "Yeah." he agrees, blushing as well. "It seems she can be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Her heart ist in the right place," she said. "E'en if we wert manipulated into this. I didst not know she wast planning this. I art sorry thou hath been included in her plans. Apparently she thinks I doth need to get out more." It dawned on her that she could be doing what mortals called babbling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap grabbing a table and talking over hot chocolate will satisfy a certain Tiny Human's need for matchmaking," she suggested. "It hath been quite some time for all of us since we hath the chance to talk to someone not with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-01-10 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"That's... probably a good idea. I've never been, uhm, matchmakered before. Sounds like a plan to me." he replies, pulling out a seat for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Truly, thou dost not," Vernique says drily, still grinning. "There are rules to this on Midgard, Svalin. A certain amount of dishing is expected." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin tilted her head. "What art the rules?" Now she wondered if she broke any. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
