Victory Celebration
Tomorrow the warriors of the fleet will return to mourning, begin preparations to return home without a lot of their original number and set out longer range patrols to make sure they've dealt with all of the threat. For tonight, however, there's a celebration. There's limited supplies, certainly, but they've done their best. Typical for their traveling fleets, there's boiled meat and fish. There's also plenty of mead.
Entertainment is a combination of a couple of skalds recounting stories from the history of the tribe, and then bragging and stories exchanged around a long table. The heroes are given esteemed places around the table, with Svalin at the head.

	Vernique listened a little to all the stuff involved, then raised her glass to Svalin with a wry smile. "Hail the Conqueror-conquering heroine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ryan was enjoying himself having some food and trying out the mead, he really liked hearing the stories though. It probably was his favorite thing going on. When Vernique made her toast Ryan of course raised his glass to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A serving wench filled Svalin's mug and Svalin raised it with a smile. "Thank thee. Hail Avengers, Ulf and Ulf's warriors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The chieftan smiles, standing and raising his tankard. "No, lady. Though I thank you, and shall hope to lead these fine men and women to many more victories, the victory today was under your plan and your leadership. The glory is yours." Sometimes being a leader has its benefits. The men raise their cups and drink to the goddess in their midst. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin translated for the Avengers. "Nay, it ist a victory for e'eryone and the glory belongs to all," she said and then translated for her teammates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli enjoys some of the food, so as not to seem rude, but seems to be deep in thought. He, too, wonders where they will be sent next. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The fish isn't bad," Vernique comments to him quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie raised his mug in response to the toast, before taking a sip and going back to his dinner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli smiled at Vernique. "Yes, it was good. I tried a little bit of everything, so as not to offend. Are you all right? You were not injured were you?" His expression is currently one of concern, as he knows that Vernique has had issues with the way the Norsemen do things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, no harm. I'm glad we got the job done with low casualties. Looking at the aftermath, you were really impressive, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I only aided my comrades to the best of my ability. Svalin's plan worked to maximum effect, and you all carried out the attack efficiently. I am only saddened that I did not get to see you in action, Vernique. That alone would have been worth fighting thousands of Kangbots." Eli smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-27 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique smiles back. "When it comes to action, I just do enough to manage. I do my best work when the fighting's done, I've got admit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2010-06-27 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	"You do good work in action, Vernique. I find myself learning something different about you every day." he tells her. "I am glad we were able to help the Norsemen. Kang's treachery has been very subtle in some ways, blatant in others. I hope we can find him before he can ruin other lives with his machinations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In the meantime, however, there is something I would like to speak to you about in private, if you have a moment." Eli says, gesturing outside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-28 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Certainly." And she'll follow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eli leads Vernique outside, making sure that she has a coat or such to keep her warm. Once they are outside, he faces her and pauses a moment, then kisses her lips gently.

"I apologize for being so forward, Beautiful Flower, but I have been wanting to do that for a little while now. I did not get the chance to wish you luck before the battle, and I realized that around the time the Kangbots decided to swarm me." Eli says with a small smile.

"I know; my timing could use some work." he says.

	Vernique smiles. "Eli, when it comes to bad timing, you're not even in the semifinals. I've seen a lot worse." She there'll be another kiss, a bit more thorough this time, as she leans up. "Very thoughtful of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2010-06-29 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Eli enjoys each kiss, savoring it as if it might be the last one. He doesn't think he'll ever forget Vernique, not even if he lives to be 10,000 years old. His eyes close as the second kiss breaks and Eli smiles. "Yes...definitely worth battling a legion of Kangbots for. Being hailed as a hero is nice, too." he quips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-29 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"Mmmm. Very sweet of you. And you make a very cute hero." A slight pause, still standing close to him. "We need to talk about something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2010-06-29 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Eli smiles, then nods at her request to talk about something. "What should we talk about?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-29 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"I think we're becoming good friends, Eli. And I," she says slowly as she stays nice and close. "--am having...fun. But I've got to tell you, I'm not exactly the classic example here. I think we could have a lot more fun. But it'd be as good friends, and not as a proper steady relationship. The last thing I want to do is mislead you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I agree that we are becoming good friends, Vernique, and I enjoy this. This...fun you speak of is intriguing to me. I do not seek to bind you into a relationship, either." Eli tells her. His reasons for doing so are many and varied, the least of which is the difference in life-span between them.

"I would like to spend time with you in whatever way I can, as long as we both enjoy it, Vernique. And then someday, we can laugh about all the fun we had since we met." he smiles.

	"That does sound nice. So does the idea of a little more privacy. Just the slightest bit. Like that provided by my tent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"More privacy is good. Yes." he says, his mind not exactly following her meaning for a moment.

When he does "get it", however, the young Eternal does something very human: he blushes.

"Vernique...I would love to go with you to your tent, but...I need to tell you something important.

I am unskilled." he says, looking away. It was a source of teasing and shame for him, almost as much as his disability, which he'd only ever told Kal about.
