Enjoying the outdoors (open)
Svalin was outside brushing Tryggvi who happily grazed on the grass around the mansion. Master Jarvis had been most helpful in providing Svalin with hay and oats for Tryggvi and brushes to take care of his coat. The day was warm, the sun was bright and it was nice to be outside the building. The air was thick with pollutants and Svalin did notice.

Svalin had never been one to sit indoors much.

Tryggvi side-stepped and nudged Svalin. She pushed back and he pawed the ground. "Stop that," she said. He too was not used to being inactive.

With a name and the picture still in his phone, Misha decided to visit the Avengers mansion and see if their files could help him get a little more information on Tessa. If the name was fake, hopefully a match could be made by facial recognition. He couldn't blame her if she was hiding. A mutant alone was vulnerable.

He entered through the side gate to go into the kitchen, because the kitchen was where the food briefly lived. A glance toward the back lawn made him pause. A horse? Was Jarvis turning green to maintain the lawn.

Svalin made Tryggvi spread his wings and did a quick check before grabbing the water bucket. She dumped out the remaining water and went inside to fill it. There was an unfamiliar man in there, but she wasn't startled too much.

"Well met," she said as she placed the bucket in the sink and turned the water on. Indoor plumbing was a wonderful invention. It beat having to bring water up from a well.

	It would be years before Misha could startle anybody at first glance like Dad could, if ever. Somehow he inherited all the friendly, personable traits his parents weren't using. "Hi. He's beautiful. Would it disturb him if I took a closer look?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thank thee," she said. She smiled. "Nay. Tryggvi ist friendly and likest others. I art Svalin Thorsdottir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was encouraging. Misha learned the hard way as a kid you didn't assume that the animal sunning on the patio was really an animal and not a shapeshifter who wouldn't really appreciate an enthusiastic ear scratching. He moved closer and a lifted a hand to the horse's neck to stroke the soft hair. "I'm Mikhail Romanov, Misha for short. Just arrived?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tryggvi sniffed the man and then nudged him with his nose looking for treats. "Aye. Mine siblings and I just arrived on Migard a few days ago. We arrived in New York with Ohu not long after that. Art thou an Avenger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-12 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Misha chuckled at the nudging. "Sorry boy, I don't have anything, but I will next time I visit." He patted Tryggvi's nose and smiled at Svalin. "Not unless they need an extra hand. I'm officially with the X-Men, but since my mother and sister are Avengers, I'm happy to help wherever I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here," she said and removed a sugar cube from a small pouch. "Give him this." She offered it to him. "Who art thine sister and mother? I hath heard of the X-Men. Mine father and mother didst mention them. Fine warriors they be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks." He held the cube out in his open palm for the horse to take. "My mother is Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow. Anya Stark is my younger sister."

The horse's mouth tickled a little as he delicately took the sugar. "My dad is known as the Wolverine. He's why I'm with the X-Men. He has a few stories about everybody's parents. Mostly fighting and drinking stories."

	"I hath met thine mother and thine sister. Doth thou not have another sister? Eliza?" She smiled. "I hath heard tales of Wolverine. Mine father doth mention him as well as Volstagg in his tales of Migard." Tryggvi nudged him looking for more sugar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-12 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Eliza. She's so new I'm not used to including her in the sister category yet." He smiled back. "And James. I can't forget James. Mom has quite a zoo going at their place. You arrived with brothers and sisters?" The friendly nudge from Tryggvi made him move half a step. "Any more sugar for my new friend here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I hath met Eliza, which is why I asked. Aye, six of them. Three, who art mine age, came with me. The other three art at home with father and the mothers. They art too young to come to Migard on their own."

She laughed. "Aye." She pulled another sugar cube out and handed it to him. "He liketh thou." Svalin was quiet for a moment. "Wouldst thou be interested in a ride sometime?"

"Eliza fits so well into the family it's almost scary. Wow, I can't imagine having six at home. It was me and Dad at home, and me and Anya whenever I stayed with Mom until this last year. Then the family grew fast."

He took the new sugar cube and offered it to the horse. "I'd love to ride him sometime. In return, I offer a ride on my motorcycle. It doesn't have as much style as Tryggvi, but it's a lot of fun."

	"It wast four of us for awhile. We art all the same age. The other three came later." "I wouldst like that." She patted Tryggvi's neck. "I wast just going to go for a ride now if thou wouldst like to come. Tryggvi doth not like being inactive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He had no other plans than to see Mom, so he nodded. "I'd love to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A few moments," Svalin said as she walked over to where she had been keeping the riding equipment. She picked up the saddle and returned to put it on her mount's back. Once everything was fastened, she retrieved the bridle and put it over Tryggvi's head. This was done with a little more fuss from the horse.

She kissed the center of Tryggvi's head and then moved around to his side to mount him. Once she was settled, she offered a hand to Misha. "We art ready."

	Misha was always up for an adventure. He took her hand and used the boost to settle himself behind her on the horse. The perspective was already different. "I'm ready too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Tryggvi!" she yelled. The horse started to run and after three strides he lifting off the ground. His large wings beat steadily and it didn't take long for them to be a good distance off the ground. "Where wouldst thou like to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He had excellent balance, but held onto Svalin at the waist in a most respectful manner for added balance. No guy with any sense ticked off the daughter of Thor without a really good reason. "This is your ride, I'm along for the view," he said. "Where would you like to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where shouldst we go? I art unfamiliar with the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Central Park is that way," he pointed at the swath of green through the city. "Statue of Liberty is in the harbor that way. Tryggvi would be able to land in the park without a lot of fanfare. More tourists taking pictures at the statue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-13 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"Thinkest that I wouldst like to see the Statue of Liberty," she said and turned Tryggvi in the correct direction. "Art thou okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
