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.

	"I'm just fine. This is great!" He leaned with her when she did, just as he would if he were on a motorcycle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I fight with them, and learn from them and the Avengers. I'm good, but I still have a lot to learn. I imagine you have the same expectations with your parents?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. They doth expect me to be the finest warrior I canst be." Svalin guided Tryggvi toward the distant statue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds an awful lot like he thinks you have more training ahead," Misha lifted his face to the sky and let the wind wash over him. It felt good, different than flying with the suit.

	"Aye, it doth sound like that." They reached the statue, circled once around it and then landed. The landing was a little rough, but they were on the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The National Park Service generally appreciated people arriving by ferry after purchasing a ticket, but for the most park New York liked their heroes well enough. A flying horse captivated enough attention and most assumed the horse and rider were part of the Avengers. Misha dismounted with only a little difficulty and waited for Svalin.

	Svalin dismounted with ease and walked up to the front of the horse. She placed a kiss in the center of his head. "Thank thee my friend," she said softly. She turned to Misha and smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was about to explain and decided to let it go. A Mountie would have kissed his horse's head too, if the horse had wings. Pictures were snapped by the tourists wandering the grounds, but he ignored them. "What do you think of Lady Liberty?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She ist most impressive," Svalin said as she looked up at the statue. "We haft nothing of the like in Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-13 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"She is," he agreed. "It'll be a few weeks still until visitors are allowed at the crown level to see the view." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why? Why art people not allowed there now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You know, I have no idea. This is a national park, run by the Federal government and not the state of New York. I think it has to do with the age of the statue and the number of people it can reasonably accommodate." He looked up at it, lowering his voice and leaning a little closer to Svalin. "Personally, I've flown over after dark and sat on the crown to see the view. At night it's especially nice with the city lights."

	"Aye. I wouldst like it, verily." She smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What a great smile. She was very easy to get along with. "Midnight on the back lawn? I'm afraid Tryggvi won't be able to land up there. I could bring him something special instead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-13 05:35 am UTC (link)
	"Midnight," she agreed. "Aye thou mayest. He ist fond of carrots and sugar cubes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-13 05:49 am UTC (link)
	"Carrots and sugar cubes," Misha repeated, looking back at the horse. A kid was growing bold and walking slowly toward them. "We've got company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-13 05:57 am UTC (link)
	"Aye." She smiled and waved at the kid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-13 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Misha smiled as well as the kid stopped. In awe, Misha thought. Svalin was very tall and blond, and the kid at the right age to be hormonal about Svalin and fascinated by a winged horse. "You'll be getting a lot of attention around New York until you start blending in," he offered. "Has Anya tried to take you and your sisters shopping yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
