Happy Birthday Charlie!
Asgardians didn't bother with birthdays and birthday celebrations, but since spending some time on Migard Svalin had come to understand that celebrating the day of one's birth was important. Svalin had made a note of her teammate's birthdays when she had read their files not long after joining the Avengers. Today, at least she thought it was today, was Charlie's birthday. It was a little difficult to keep track of exactly what day it was when one was hopping through time.

She mentioned Charlie's birthday to Vernique and Plans were made. The rest of the Avengers were let in on the plans.

One tradition of celebrating one's day of birth was to give them a gift. Svalin hadn't time to make him a dagger, but she had managed to purchase one from a pilot who seemed to be following her around along with a jacket that was called a bombadier jacket. Svalin had removed the name patch and had stayed awake all night removing the embroidery of the pilot's name and stitching Charlie's in it.

	And Vernique frowns a little in turn, and speaks quietly. "Hey, not your type, that's fine. But Svalin, when the time comes, you are not going to need to get yourself drunk your first time. It's much better sober." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth not let mineself get too far into cups," she said. "I mayhap have a drink or two, but ne'er more. I doth try to keep mine wits about me. Hal hath oft tries to get me to drink more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Mine brother ist fond of drink and thinks others should be." It had nothing to do with him thinking Svalin was uptight of course. "Shall we find a table?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let's!" Vernique sashays towards one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin followed and was amazed one could move one's hips like that. It was almost memorizing to watch Vernique walk. Svalin stared back at the men who were staring at Vernique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique takes a chair at a table and sets her wineglass down. She flashes a quick cordial smile at any of the onlookers she notices, but doesn't pursue anything. "Isn't it an interesting city?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe shield_maiden 2010-11-20 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye it ist," she said as she set her glass of beer down and took a chair. "The market ist quite interesting. It doth remind me of the one in Asgard." "One day I wouldst like to show thee Asgard. It ist unlike any Migard city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist not always cold in Asgard," Svalin said with a smile. One misconception people had that it was always cold in Asgard. "It hath seasons and the summers art quite nice. Though not as hot as it ist here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe butterflybullet 2010-11-20 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, that's very good to know." Vernique smiles and sips her drink. "So what's the appropriate summer style in Asgard? What does your other mom tend to wear in the summer? The one who's a woman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Einmyria wears short sleeved dresses made of light fabric in the summer," Svalin explained. "She sayeth that chores doth work up a sweat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahh, smart then." "It must be so weird for Charlie that we keep seeing versions of his dad. The other version of Mom was certainly strange." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, Einmyria ist most wise and smart," Svalin said with pride. Svalin loved Einmyria as much as she loved her own biological mother Sif. "Aye. I wouldst imagine it would be most strange. Though I must ask, ist this Captain America another version or is actual father? It ist hard to keep track." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't know. It's really hard to tell. Everything seems to be like we know it to have happened -- up until Kang's interference. But what is it the science-types say, Kang's Third Law? It's practically impossible to truly change your own timeline, and the future timelines you might see things from will never be exactly the same as you get? So maybe it's just a really similar alternate version."

	Svalin's brow furled. She was good at tactics and battle strategies. She even knew Asgardian law and how to read and write. This was /way/ over her head. "Thou couldst be right. It ist an area I hath no knowledge about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe butterflybullet 2010-11-20 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, it's all pretty weird. The important thing, I guess, is not whether they're our /exact/ past, but just doing as right by them as we can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin agreed. The whole thing made her head hurt. "Ist there any guy in here who ist catching thine eye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are some hands you just don't want a lightsaber in," Vernique agreed. "But they do look terribly stylish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin agreed. "Thou they art most effective weapons. Though I doth admit to liking swords from a show called Star Trek. I wouldst like to get one one day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
