Vernique had a package.

Between school and the massive free battle royales, I figured you could use a little something.

Love,
Dad

Eight pounds of cocoa-dusted Belgian truffles.

As she carried them happily to her room, she stopped to knock on the door next to hers.

	"Well, all the best processing tends to happen in Belgium and Switzerland and other pretty Northish places, but the plants mostly grow in the tropics. Not sure if that'd work. Might be better to import when you can.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art rather warm places in Asgard, but they art far from the city." Svalin's mind was working to solve the problem. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do they get enough rain? Anyone there to hire to look after the plants?" Vernique's happy to speculate. ...She should look into chocolate production as a potential investment for Nevell, the more she thinks about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique listens and nods with a slight frown. "Sounds like the better move would be to buy in bulk on the rare visits, and then keep the chocolate in the wine cellars so it stays good longer." Pause. "I assume there are wine cellars in Asgard; you always hear about plenty of wine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not so much wine as mead. 'Tis the drink of Asgardians. Surely mine brother hath introduced thee to mead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 08:05 am UTC (link)
	"Well mead's kinda like wine, but with honey instead of grapes. Yeah, I had a little of what you brought at New Year's. It's good, but I think I'll always be more of a wine kind of girl. I'm a big fan of grapes in all their forms." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 08:09 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "I doth not partake in either oft. I doth prefer to keep mine wits and reflexes. If I return to Asgard anon, I wilt bring thee back a bottle of Asgardian wine for the kindness thou hath shown me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 08:22 am UTC (link)
	Vernique smiles. "Oh, that's sweet, thanks! And yeah, sensible policy not to overindulge much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 08:24 am UTC (link)
	"Thou'rt welcome. Aye, I leave the over indulgence to mine siblings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure they manage to pick up the slack there. Halbjorn always seems like he's trying to be a poster boy for joie de vivre" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 08:38 am UTC (link)
	"He and Aridis doth love to indulge in mead and pleasures of the flesh," Svalin said with some disapproval. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 08:48 am UTC (link)
	"Welll, I haven't got much room to talk there, I have to admit. There's a time and a place for everything, and I like to find those opportunities myself." A smile. "Going by Halbjorn, though, they might find them awfully quickly by most standards." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled a little. "Aye, it doth not take either of them long to find entertainment. 'Tis for some and not for others," Svalin said. She was definitely the latter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 09:00 am UTC (link)
	Vernique hmms affirmatively around another mouthful of chocolate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 09:02 am UTC (link)
	Svalin took another truffle. "When wouldst thou like to visit mine brother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've got time early next week if you do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 09:05 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. We shalt travel to California early next week," she said with an air of finality. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 09:06 am UTC (link)
	"It's a plan, then!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 09:09 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. It ist a plan." Svalin smiled. "I thank thee for the chocolates. I must see to Tryggvi. 'Tis time to feed him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 09:10 am UTC (link)
	"Have fun." And Vernique'll smile and pick up her box and move on to her own, letting Svalin proceed. (Reply to this)(Parent)
