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.

	At the sound of his name, the horse nudged Vernique's arm looking for a treat. "Does it bother you at times not knowing what ist going to happen to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know if bother is the right word. Is it terrifying sometimes? Yeah. So are roller coasters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-29 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Svalin tilted her head. "What art rollercoasters?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-29 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Structures that strap people in and hurl them around in twists and turns at high speeds. One of the ways many American civilians who'll never see action get their adrenaline rushes; rollercoasters are built to be thrilling, which often means they're built to be scary. Hence my analogy."

	"This doth sound interesting," Svalin admitted. "Wilt thou show me this rollercoaster when we return?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-29 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"Sure." Vernique smiles. "We'll start you on the Cyclone. But let me tell you in advance, it's probably not going to up there compared to Tryggvi rides and battle-highs. But I'd love to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-29 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Thank thee. I look forward to it. It giveth me something to look forward to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lovely. In other news, what do you think of Eli?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Svalin's brown furled in thought. "He ist a good warrior and the Eternals doth make good allies. He ist also nice to talk to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-30 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Vernique smiled. It figured. "Yes. He's very nice to talk to. I'm correct in thinking that his also being handsome, and the only single boy in our little gang, is not very relevant to your interests?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 12:45 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "Nay. I doth not think of males in that way," she admitted. "I hath not met one that catches mine interest enow to take to mine bed." There was a small smile. "He ist pleasing to the eyes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"Reasonable. Just checking, as it never hurts to be sure. And yes." Vernique smiles. "He is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"I believe there ist someone out there who will catch mine interest. I may hath dreamed of him." She smiled. "Didst thou express your like for Eli to him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-30 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"Best of luck." Vernique smiled and nodded. "I'm a firm believer in getting down to business when the other person seems ready to deal. Different situations have to be handled differently of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"I wish thee the best of luck in your endeavors," she said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you very much; I plan to have a lot of it and make good use of it." "Your sisters big into taking charge and taking the field? I know one of them's into sorcery, but I don't know much about them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I art happy for thou." She shook her head. "Nay. I wast the oldest and responsible for mine siblings. They doth not like leading or battle as much as I. Asleif ist deep into her magical studies and Aridis, whilst a fine warrior and archer, doth like to pursue activities that art more pleasurable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-30 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"Fun and ranged weapons. Aridis sounds great. And anyone who can really get her head around magic is impressive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, she is the most easy going of us. Though she hath yet to learn responsibility." Svalin smiled a little. "Aye, Asleif ist impressive. She hath spent many years learning her art and ist very smart. She ist very dedicated and I doth admire her for that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-06-30 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"Now, it's hard to keep it straight. Are Aridis and Halbjorn, twins, and you and Aslief?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-06-30 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"Nay, Aridis is mine twin. Asleif and Halbjorn art twins. It ist most unusual. Our mothers oft remark how unlike we art like our twin." "I art the oldest. Then Aslief, Aridis and then Habjorn. We wert all born within minutes of each other. Aridis and I art the only children of Sif and Thor. All the others art children of Einmyria and Thor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh. Gotcha." "Yeah, I can see too many pregnancies not fitting in well with professional obligations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-07-01 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. "Mine mother only had mine sister and I. She laid her sword aside long enow to produce an heir for Asgard." Svalin still held on to a few insecurities about not being a male when it came to the succession of the throne. "Einmyria ist the one who had multiple pregnancies. We hath three younger siblings making seven total." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sif's line counts more for technical political purposes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-07-01 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she answered. "It wast part of the marriage arrangements that the issue of Sif and Thor wouldst be the heir to Asgard. Though there wouldst not be talk of favoring one of mine brothers o'er us if mine sister or I wert a male." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
