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.

	Vernique is thoughtful, trying to decide. "...Probably not. I'm not sure if I can be sure of anyone who looks worth it. I may just ask Eli. He's a dear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing that's going to be a formal relationship, but yeah," Vernique admits, smiling. "He's a great guy, and he tries so hard. He's going to do some great stuff some day. Of course, everyone in this little gang is. Besides saving the world, I mean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, thou all wilt do great things," Svalin said before downing her drink in one gulp. "I hope to fight many glorious battles before I die in Ragnarok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you will. Is Asgard ever short of glorious battles?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe shield_maiden 2010-11-22 09:57 am UTC (link)
	Svalin blinked and then laughed. "Nay it ist not short of battle. There art always threats and enemies that must be defeated." "There art some who doth wish the ne'er ending cycle of violence wouldst end, but it wouldst mean Ragnarok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hal's looking forward to it, in a way, isn't he?" Vernique hated it. The Choreography. But that was how they were. It was a part of them, and in a sense, part of what she loved about them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe shield_maiden 2010-11-22 10:06 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "Aye, 'tis the way of the bear sarks. They doth live to die on the field of battle. I doth suppose we all do, but they art more eager for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe butterflybullet 2010-11-22 10:10 am UTC (link)
	Of course he was eager. That sweet, sweet idiot. Vernique raises her glass. "Here's hoping it's long past my time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe shield_maiden 2010-11-22 10:17 am UTC (link)
	Svalin raised her glass despite it being empty. She motioned for a waiter or waitress. "One canst hope he doth live a long time." Though with her brother the chances of that actually happening are very slim. "I doth miss him and mine other siblings. I hath ne'er been separated from them for this long."

	"Well, he's got ...Official Ragnarok Plans, doesn't he?" Vernique mutters. "It's gotta be hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I doth believe so," she said. "He hath not spoken of Lord Odin's words of prophecy to me."

She nodded. "E'en though we art all verily different from each other, we wert ne'er far from each other. It wast always the four of us and we wert as close as full-blooded siblings."

"Children must grow and stand on their own. This time with thee and the other Avengers hath taught me this."

	Probably because it was inordinately depressing. Svalin was a tougher girl than she, dealing with that stuff, that was for sure. "Yeah. But that whole saying that you can't go home again isn't true. You just don't come back a kid anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Inside the Cafe shield_maiden 2010-11-22 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Aye. We wert all sent to Migard to finish growing up. Some of us doth learn lessons a little slower than others." (Reply to this)(Parent)
