Meeting of the Minds
Griffen had decided he was going to start ordering parts for new computer upgrades. It wasn't his thing but it had to be done. That was when he had noticed someone was already doing his job for him. That was a little surprise.

He smiled a little as he picked up one of the boxes to check out what was being installed. He gave a low whistle of geek approval as he wandered into the computer room. He looked up and had a moment of surprise.

"Miss Stark?" He blinks again then offers her a smile. "It's good to see you again. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

He doesn't seem as shy as he once was but then again the first time they met was in the middle of a crisis and the next time they were around each other was when the Defenders got called in. Griffen notes that they never really got to talk before.

	"Thank you. I could definitely use it." It didn't take long for their food to arrive. Anya's stomach rumbled as soon as she smelled the food. Surfing and sword play worked up an appetite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn's five meals take up quite a bit of space, but its ultimately managed, sides, extra bread and all. Any check on the Defenders' compound will reveal this is pretty normal. Fear when he really works up an appetite.
And then there's the matter of table manners - sure, his mother was a kitchen witch, so he's not totally incompetent, and he does use a knife and fork, but his manners are very 'Asgardian tavern'.

That whole 'what you see is what you get' thing. "Then tis my pleasure, to be sure."

	Anya has seen worse when it came to table manners. Halbjorn actually had better manners than she expected. Though he was the son of Thor and Asgardian royalty. Anya ate slowly as to not rush him. "I'm glad I was able to spend time with you today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's a quick eater in any case, and his appetite is showing no signs of slowing down. "And I thee, it hast been good to get to know the woman behind the suit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled and nodded. "We'll probably be seeing each other quite often. Best to get to know each other. Which makes me think we should do something with both teams. Maybe a training session or even just something fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope we wilt be seeing each other quite oft. And if our teams come along, that ist a good thing as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. I'll give you my cell number. I'm sure Ms. Ashcroft, Griffen or Simon can show you how to use a phone to call. Then when you want to see me, you can just call." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-17 10:55 am UTC (link)
	That gets a small grin. "When I want to see thee? Tis a most dangerous offer." he replies with some amusement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-17 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Anya chuckled and blushed more. "Yes, if I have the time for a visit. School starts at the end of the month and will take up a lot of my time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahhh, yes, thy further education. Though with thine speed, and mayhap our own occasional visits, surely it canst be worked out. Leaving but one question." he adds, with a grin. "How canst I best persuade thee to wish to come back soon?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-17 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	"No persuasion necessary," she answered. "Good team relations and all that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-17 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	He laughs and shakes his head. "Thou'rt difficult to flirt with, truly. No wonder thou'rt to inherit the business, tis always back to teams and good relations. I had thought thou wouldst hath more of the Stark spirit in thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-17 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Anya wasn't quite sure exactly how to take that. She was mostly sure he didn't mean it in the way she was thinking. One of the problems of being Tony Stark's kid was that people expected her to be like her father in all ways. She smiled. "I've been known to be difficult, but team relations are important. They're not the only reason why I would come out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-17 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	He grins and shakes his head. "I didst not mean to imply so. But truly, if thou wish'st to discuss business, tis not me thou shouldst be talking to. I bear thee and thy team nothing but best wishes. But I didst not ask them out to dinner, no matter how oft thou keepst mentioning them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-17 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," she said. "Okay. No more mentioning teams. Promise," she grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-18 12:13 am UTC (link)
	He grins a bit wider and nods. "Fair enow. So then I repeat my question, aside from the fine surf, what canst I do to better persuade thee to wish to return soonest?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-18 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Like I said, you don't need to persuade me. All you have to do is call and if I am able, I will come." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ver' well, then what art thou doing after dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-18 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. What would you like to do?" She placed her knife and fork on the plate. The place did make a damn good steak and the garlic mashed potatoes were to die for. Anya was stuffed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-18 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I know not. As yet, mortals art most confusing." he replies, honestly. He's through most of his dinners, and still going strong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well then, I guess we'll have to see what happens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, at home, I wouldst drink and share stories til late hours, then invite thee to share mine quarters this eve. But I hath been told I am not able to patronize the taverns here. Tis most odd." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-18 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"That's still possible. There are places where you can buy alcohol and take it home," she said. "We can have a few drinks and swap stories." Not going to touch that last bit. At least not yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahhh, a fine idea indeed. I knew not of this. Simon and Syd didst not inform me. It soundeth like a fine even indeed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya handed her credit card to the waiter and smiled at Halbjorn. "Then it's a plan." It didn't take long for the waiter to return with her card. She signed the receipt and added in a very generous tip. "All set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
