Having Fun In the Warm California Sun
It had taken a little effort and a lot of talking and explaining, but the Asgardians, Ohu and Griffen O'Niell were moving to California. They were going to act as the Avengers' west coast team and would go by the name of The Defenders. Their headquarters would be at the former West Coast Avengers base Avengers' Compound located at 1800 Palos Verdes Drive just outside of LA.

The 15 acre estate featured one main building, five bungalows, garage, hangar, tennis courts and a private beach. It would be a good base for the Defenders and keep the collateral damage out of city.

Today was moving-in day.

	"Refreshments first! Business second!" Ohu insists. "This way," he gestures towards the kitchen. "Come, make yourselves comfortable!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif followed after, largely for lack of anything better to do and to gain more information about their apparent new houseguests. More than likely this had been explained to her, but she had tuned it out. Most things with mortals, she ignored. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Sydney said to her hosts and new roommates. Zoey, having no fear of the very tall women, let go of her mother's hand and ran up to the tall dark one. "Are you a goth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh... A small mortal was speaking to her. Asleif looked down and wondered how a child would know of the Goths. Apparently, mortal education was more advanced than she suspected. "Nay," she said. "I art Asleif Thorsdottir, of Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Griffen's mouth almost dropped when he saw that. It was a good thing Aslief wasn't quick to get upset of course she might think the kid called her something else.

"Uh. Right. We have pizza? Svalin likes it well enough so we ordered enough to last us through the day. We're still getting settled as you can see. You are welcome to it," Griffen got out some extra plates as he searched for drinks.

"We don't have any soda, I'm afraid. I was going to come up with another list of things we should have in the Compound. But we have some juices and plenty of milk." Oh my God he can't shut up. This situation has him a little nervous he has noted.

	"I'm sure we can have whatever soda our guests would like," Ohu replies, getting glasses out for them. "Is there anything else we can get you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey looked up at the woman and tilted her head in thought. "Where's Asgard? What's it like there? Are there princesses and princes? Are there dragons?" Syd smiled. "Juice is fine and if someone would be kind enough to show us to where we'll be staying I'd appreciate that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Water, please. Just water." Marlow wasn't a short woman, but she was definitely dwarfed by the others. It didn't bother her. She found herself swaying back and forth and made herself stop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-29 05:13 am UTC (link)
	Asleif stared at the little girl for a moment and quickly came to the unfortunate conclusion that she was not going to be rid of her any time soon. "Asgard art past the Rainbow Bridge, where few mortals have ever tread. And there be princes and princesses... mine siblings and I, art such." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-29 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Zoey's eyes went wide. "You're a princess?! A REAL princess!" she squealed. "Do you have a tiara? How about a big frilly dress? Is it pink? Can I see it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was highly amused. Watching her sister deal with young mortal was worth the trip to Migard alone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Asleif had a spell for silence (though it would probably prevent everyone in the compound from making noise for some time), and could likely hypnotize the child into not speaking. However, despite what her siblings thought of her, Asleif had never used spells or coercion on anyone who had not deserved it (even if her definition of "deserve" was a bit... flexible).

"I do not have a tiara," she told the girl. "Nor have I ever worn pink."

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-29 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Zoey looked confused. "Why not? All princesses wear pink and tiaras." Her face lit up and you could tell the child had an idea. "Would you like to play dress up? I have a tiara you could wear. And we could have a tea party! Please!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-29 05:40 am UTC (link)
	That did it. Svalin started laughing and quickly left the room least her sister cast a spell on her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And a sand castle," Marlow murmured to Zoey. "A tea party at a sand castle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-06-29 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Ohu swoops in to Asleif's rescue. "Would you like a tiara?" He brushes the little girl's hair out of her face... and leaves a jewel-studded tiara in her hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-29 06:36 am UTC (link)
	Asleif was trying to decide if the universe disliked her or if this was some specific test which she needed to pass. Neither option was a favorable one. "I art... not one for "dress-up" child," she told the young mortal. "But I see little harm in tea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-29 06:39 am UTC (link)
	"Ooooh! Pretty! Thank you!" Zoey was practically bouncing by now. "We can build a sandcastle and have tea there!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course now there was another blond in here to see what the fuss was about. She tilted her head as she listened to what was going on. Ah, she thought she knew what was so amusing to her twin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-29 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	Be wary, siblings. Asleif knows where you sleep. And has numerous spells at her disposal. Asleif snapped her fingers and a large parasol appeared in her hand. She would require it if she were to be out in the sun. "The beach, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I shall assist in the making of the most fabulous sand-castle you have ever seen," Ohu tells the young woman. "When we return, your fellow travelers should be well-rested and refreshed, and we can discuss business then." A new bed can wait. There is a child who wishes to build a sand castle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-30 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"Yay!" she said as she grabbed one of Ohu's hands and one of Asleif's hands. Then she remembered she hadn't asked her mother. "Can I go?" Syd smiled and nodded. "Yes, but remember to listen to the adults and do what they tell you do to. Got it?" Zoey nodded. "Yes, Mommy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-30 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Asleif looked down at her hand as though she thought she might have to chop it off later to prevent herself from catching... whatever it was one caught from mortals. "...What exactly be a 'sandcastle'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-06-30 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Marlow hid her amusement behind a bland expression. Apparently the young apprentice could be just as dismissive of the Asgardian witch as Asleif could be of mortals. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldst like to see what such a thing is," Aridis says with a very curious tone. "It sounds like a pleasant thing to construct. May I join thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
