A Night's Rest
Apparently fighting off vampires and cultists earned a person a stay at the city's palace. The local king was most appreciative of having his city emptied of the vampires and cultists and had invited the Avengers along with Red Sonja and Conan to stay for the night in his palace.

Svalin cared not where she stayed, only that she had a place for Tryggvi and someplace to sleep. Hard or soft, it didn't matter. She was used to sleeping on the ground as much as she was used to sleeping in a bed. The girls were shown to one suite and the guys to another. In the middle of the room that connected to the two bedrooms was a large bathtub put into the floor. Servants filled it with steaming water. The same was in the guys' room. They were all expected at dinner in two hours.

Svalin carefully checked her weapons and equipment and laid the out one by one on a table in the room. Getting clean was not the highest priority for her.

	After leaving the gardens Svalin headed for the stables to check on Tryggvi. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Ryan was getting ready to head down to the local tavern glad to be leaving the castle. He never felt comfortable in fancy places like this where everything was so formal.

He headed down to the stables to check out the horses he had never ridden one so he figured he would just walk down anyways, but the horses had been offered for their use and it felt impolite not to at least look.

	Svalin turned at the sound of someone entering the stables. She nodded once when she saw Ryan. "Hail and well met, Ryan Spector." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Hey, it’s nice to see you too, Svalin,” Ryan said with a smile, “And you can just call me Ryan if you want. That’s a very cool, er,” he said trying to think of what exactly to call the winged horse before finally settling as saying, “Horse you have there.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "Thank thee," she said. "His name ist Tryggvi." Svalin ran fingertips lightly over the velvety nose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Well he’s a very handsome horse,” Ryan said, “Though I must admit I don’t know much about horse or ones with wings.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They art smart, loyal and brave animals," she said as patted Tryggvi's nose. "Thou ever ride one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“No, I’m from New York City so there wasn’t much for opportunities for that, I never even had a pet,” Ryan admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art sorry to hear that," she said. "If thou wouldst like to go for a ride sometime, I wilt take thee." Tryggvi pushed his head forward and nickered at Ryan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I will have to take you up on that, thank you for the offer,” Ryan said. “Hey there,” Ryan said to the horse holding his hand out to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt welcome," she said and pulled an apple out from a pocket. "He ist looking for a treat." She offered the apple to Ryan. Tryggvi sniffed the hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Thank you,” Ryan said taking the offered apple from Svalin before holding it out to the horse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-05-23 01:34 am UTC (link)
	The horse took the apple and began to crunch it. "Thou performed admirably during the battle," she said as she ran a hand along the horse's neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But thou wert effective and that ist what matters in battle," she said. "Where didst thou learn to fight?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-05-23 01:58 am UTC (link)
	“Mainly from my Father, but I learn some other stuff from my Mother and Uncle too,” Ryan explained. “What about who taught you how to fight like that?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-05-23 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Mine mother, father, the Warriors Three and the Valkyries among many," she answered. "I hath been training since I wast five." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“My dad’s been training me for fun since I was six,” Ryan said, “He liked to turn training into games especially the throwing weapons.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-05-23 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Thou take training as a game?" she asked. "Thou do it for fun?" Mortals were definitely confusing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Well he wasn’t training me to really use all of that stuff,” Ryan explained, “and if he did Mom would have kick his ass. But training for a fun hobby she was fine with.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I admit that mortals are oft confusing to me," she said. "Asgardians art expected to fight for Asgard and if we art lucky, die in battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-05-23 02:57 am UTC (link)
	“I can understand that,” Ryan said, “I think gods and mortals just confuse each other. I know Dad could never figure out what was up with Khonshu back when he was his avatar.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-05-23 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "The Heliopolitans art a most peculiar pantheon. I hath only met Horus once when he doth visit Asgard, but he seemed strange." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Never actually met Khonshu only person he ever talked to was Dad but Dad, Mom, and Uncle Frenchie meet Set when they fought him and took him down. Mom said he was an asshole,” Ryan said cleaning up his mother language (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-05-23 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "Seth or Set? There ist a big difference. The Avengers and Defenders didst fight and send Set back to his dimension last year. Father hath fought Set and Seth in the past." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
