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 not going to let you fall." She wasn't shy about hanging on, which was a good thing in his book. He would continue being very respectful, but there had to be an option of grasping hard if necessary.

The face plate slid closed and the internal screen displayed the fact that he was 425 pounds heavier. She didn't didn't look it, but it didn't surprise him. He put his arm around her waist and held her as close to his side as he could. The boosters fired and he slowly lifted into the air to get a sense of the weight distribution before applying a little more speed.

	Like almost everything in her life, Svalin stoically dealt with the situation. She wasn't afraid of heights or falling, but this was a new experience. If she had to admit it, it was a little exhilarating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not a peep out of his guest. Usually by now, the few people he'd taken for a flight might've squealed a little, or oooh'd and ahhh'd. He put on a little more speed as they flew straight up over the Avengers mansion. Once at a suitable distance from the ground, he flew them toward the harbor and Liberty Island.

	"The view ist most impressive," she finally said. Asgard was an impressive city in itself, but it had nothing on New York. Especially from the air at night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The New York skyline at night always looked like handfuls of sparkling gems tossed out on a background of black velvet, until you flew too high and realized you were in a layer of smog. Misha made sure he didn't fly too high so the effect remained impressive. He wanted the city to impress their visitor. "Glad you like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, I do," she said. "Asgard ist nothing like New York or other Migard cities. Whilst it ist is impressive, it ist not the same." Though New York and Migard was exciting and there was a lot to see, a part of her missed home. She missed her family and her Valkyrie sisters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If it was the same, there would be nothing new to see and talk about when you go home again." He brought them to the top of the statue's crown, finding his footing on a level enough place they could sit and enjoy the view across the harbor. "Be careful," he caution as he loosened his hold on her waist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Thou doest have a point," she said as she moved carefully and found a seat. "Thank thee for bringing me here. The view ist most wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha didn't remove the helmet. One wrong gesture and it would fall off the statue and he'd never hear the end of it from Anya. The face plate moved aside so he could see the lights without the sensors analyzing them for display. "My pleasure. I don't get to share this with too many people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She titled her head in thought. "Why not? This seemeth like something that many wouldst enjoy." Svalin was really clueless when it came to dating a special relationships. She had other things on her mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Many would," he agreed. "My identity is still protected, though. If it got out that I'm a mutant and a member of the X-Men, that wouldn't be good. We're not public like the Avengers. I don't get to ask normal girls if they want to see the view from here, or go on a flight, or even join me in the training room for combat practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They can be downright lethal about it," Misha said with a grim note in his voice. "While I'm pretty sure I'd be okay, if I open that door someone else could get hurt. Even the Avengers keep their kids off the public roster." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's always hope." He patted her hand without thinking. "In the meantime, I can share the view with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The city ist large, but not like Migard cities. Most, if not all of my people live there. The surrounding land ist plains and it ist always summer."

Her voice took on a distant tone as she got lost in a memory. "There art many different areas. Some where it ist always winter, mountains, plains and forests. Then there art the other realms such as Muspelheim, the fire realm of Surtur, Niffleheim, the realm of the dead and Jotunheim the realm of the giants. Each different from each other. All haft many dangers."

	He didn't recognize any of the names, but his information on Asgard was limited to Dad's stories of Thor and drinking contests. "You miss it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds frustrating." He glanced from the view to her profile in the faint light. "I haven't met your sisters or brother yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'Tis the nature of Fate. Only the Norns canst know what ist to come and the rest of us art to accept what cometh." She studied the city and all the lights. Such lights were not present in Asgard and in the sheer numbers. "They art at the mansion. If thou visit again, I wilt introduce thee to them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm in and out of the mansion. My place isn't too far away. You might like to bring Tryggvi out to the Xavier Institute. Plenty of grounds for him to wander around, and kids to feed him sugar cubes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
