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.

	"Aye." A pause. "I guess. I hath not noticed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Must've been a trick of the light, because you sure looked like you were noticing." Vernique keeps brushing her hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It must hath been," she said. Heat touched her cheeks and she knew they were a bit pink. She stole a glance over at Vernique and quickly looked back at her task. "He doth seem familiar for some reason," she commented as she carefully moved the stone along the edge of the blade. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique just smiled at her. "Yeah. Something about his eyes, and even something about the outfit." A pause. "You know what I might do if I wanted to get a date amongst all these goings-on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-08 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin paused and looked up at her. "What ist that? I doubt thou wouldst have a problem getting a date no matter where thou'rt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well thanks, but there's a difference between being able to just secure a date, and securing one with a really sweet beefcake superhero with a lot on his mind. In his particular case, I'd probably try asking at the end of this next meeting if he and I could take more over some coffee. Because coffee in the English-speaking world has some distinct connotations of date-like behavior without necessarily being a date, so it's a good first step to ease into the process and get some time together."

	Svalin thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Aye. I doth suppose that wouldst work. He ist sure to say yes to go for coffee with thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It would probably work, yes. Which reminds me, on a completely tangential subject. After the talk today, would you like to go get coffee with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-08 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. It wouldst be nice to see some of this world. We art sure to get some recommendations from our new friends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. Yeah, they'd be sure to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhep we canst get thee some new clothes whilst we art here. I still hath some gold we couldst exchange for monetary units." Svalin started moving the stone against the edge again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. I'd appreciate the company." And the chance to say 'wait, this won't fit me, but let's try it on you.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt welcome. If thou wouldst like to shower, I wilt wait until after thee." Svalin inspected the edge of the sword and returned the stone to its storage space. "Mayhap we canst find a place to eat whilst we art out. I art getting hungry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. I won't be long." And she'll do her best to be very quick. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt welcome," she said and sheathed her sword. Svalin went through some of her belongings and when Vernique comes back out she'll find Svalin trying to decide what to wear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd go with the ivory blouse," Vernique suggests. "Why don't you go clean up, and we can get your hair out of the way?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-08 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	"It doth not matter what I wear," she said trying to make it look like she didn't care about what she wore. It was silly and something a warrior of Asgard should not concern herself about. "Aye. I art going." One did not mess with Tiny Human Rage if one could help it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The ivory blouse and those nice dress-slacks she'd gotten from alternate-Svalin's room would be laid out when she came out, and Vernique had her hair materials at the ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin came out of the bathroom and felt better and clean. It struck her as odd that she had thought that it felt good to be clean. Spending so much time in Vernique's company was apparently starting to rub off on her.

She noticed there were clothes set out and they weren't her normal clothes. Though she didn't say a word and put them on anyway.

"I wilt miss showers when I art in Asgard. They art some of the nice things about Migard."

	"Yeah, they're nice." And Vernique will get to work on her hair, with a little pretense of making sure it stayed out of her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Along with chocolate. I doth miss the nightly cup of hot chocolate I used to share with Marlow. It wast a nice ritual." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-01-08 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Hard to go wrong with hot chocolate," Vernique agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-08 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	"I wast thinking to see if I canst get the cocoa plant to grow in Asgard," she said with a smile. "And learn how to make chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd have to find one of the warmer places," Vernique cautions. Finally, "There." She gets out a mirror and shows Svalin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
