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.

	Ohu meets them at the door, damp towels over one arm. "Greetings, travelers!" He offers a towel to each. "Please, wash up. We will have food and refreshments shortly." He glances at Marlow, and his brow furrows in curiosity, but he says nothing. "You must be tired after your long journey. Come in. Come in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow met his gaze directly as she accepted the towel, felt a ping of awareness, then looked around. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Sydney said as she accepted a towel. She motioned for Zoey to do the same. "Thanks! I'm Zoey!" she beamed as she took a towel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif regarded the mortals with the same basic expression she regarded all mortals with: disinterest. She gave Svalin look that said, Did you know of this? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hail and well met," Svalin said as she appeared in the doorway. "Mr. Stark didst say that you wouldst be arriving. Welcome." She did tell her siblings, right? There had been so much happening in the past day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Griffen hadn't gotten used to being around the godlings yet. He was trying hard to not be rude but through out the day he had found things that had needed to be done away from them. Some of them did really need to be done though! Really guys. "Um," his head pokes around the corner and hiis glasses slip down on his nose. "We have company?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow's gaze swept the others, dismissed Asleif, nodded at Svalin's friendly greeting, and peered more closely at Griffen. Something was still coming. They might be part of it, but they weren't it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are travelers, friend Griffen!" Ohu announces. "Go get them something to eat... and drink! Quickly!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd looked at each of them and got a feeling that they weren't expected. Talk about a little awkward. "You weren't expecting us, were you? Mr. Stark hired me to help a few people get adjusted to living in the States and said to come to this address." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh! This would be Ms Ashcroft. He had forgotten about her in his need to hide away from the world so to speak. He steps out with an embarrassed smile.

"I'm sorry Ms Ashcroft. I forgot. Mr Stark told me to expect you," Griffen explains while fighting the urge to tug nervously at his clothing. "And yes that's what they need. It's a little more complicated though. What has he told you about them? And may I get you and the others something to eat or drink? Coffee? Iced tea? Maybe some juice for the little lady."

	"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)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-29 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-29 04:53 am UTC (link)
	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)

	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)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-29 05:24 am UTC (link)
	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)
