Bittersweet Homecoming
The view from the highest tower in Asgard was the same as she remembered it, but this time it didn't offer the calm and peace it usually did. Svalin's heart and mind were heavy and the beauty of the Golden Realm didn't offer the solace she had been seeking.

It was good to be home and good to be back in Asgard, but at the same time she was sad to be home. She'd probably never see Jon again. He had been right when he said they each had duties to see to and she would do hers. She just wished it didn't hurt so much.

Momone had been happy to see her return and Sif being Sif was proud Svalin had proved herself worthy and would take her proper place in Asgard. Momtwo had practically smothered here with TLC and had noticed she wasn't herself. Svalin had told her about Jon and the time spent with him. It got her a good dose of home cooking and a generous amount of mead. Nothing helped heartache than some TLC from Momtwo.

She swore Astrid and Eir had grown a few inches in the months Svalin had been gone. Skari had grown a lot. Soon he would be taller than Svalin, but she would still be able to kick his ass if needed.

Svalin had made a quick stop to pay respects to Lord Odin and Lady Frigga, but for the most part she kept to herself.

	Dawn came out of the main house. She recognized Svalin, of course, from the team pictures and the handful of Asleif-memories still rattling around in her head. But she hunt back, letting the others who knew her better greet her first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Grace! Well met!" Svalin said with a smile and hugged the girl. "Thank thee. It ist good to be back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There was the sound of running feet before a very loud yell. "SVALIN!" Zoey yelled and launched herself at the Asgardian. "I hath missed thee! I'm so glad you're home!" Zoey gave her a bear hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art glad to see thee, Zoey," she said as she hugged the girl. "I hath missed thee as well. Thou wilt have to tell me all about thine adventures whilst I wast away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Also running, not that far behind Zoey, but coming from further away - the forges specifically, Halbjorn bounds in. "Welcome back, sister mine! Thou hast been sorely missed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Brother mine!" she said with a large smile. She hugged him while still holding Zoey, trapping the child between them. "It ist good to see thee. I hath missed thee greatly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eiltin heard all the commotion and came walking in late with Ruarc. The dog quickly stared Svalin down and determined she wasn’t a threat and just stayed happily with Eiltin. Eiltin had a fairly good guess as to who the Asgardian warrior woman was but stayed back and out of the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well met," Svalin said to the blond and the...Celt? She set Zoey down on the ground and eyed the Celt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound stone_bear 2011-01-24 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	Halbjorn gets out of the way a little so they don't accidentally squish the kid. "A moment, I hath a welcome home present for thee!" And he goes bounding off again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh, hi," Dawn said. "You've got to be Svalin, right? I'm Dawn. Dawn Roberts. It's, um, a long story." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head at her brother. "I art Svalin Sifsdottir. It ist a pleasure to meet thee." She was still eyeing the Celt. The last time they had a run in with the Celts one of them had kidnapped Aridis and tried to marry her. Had they finally succeeded and this Celt was now her brother-in-law?

	Grace noticed Svalin eying Eiltin. "Svalin this is Eiltin, one of our new members," Grace said. "He's also my boyfriend." She had been informed of the Asgardian's last run-in with the Celts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He runs really fast!" Zoey said with a grin. "Ruarc is his dog." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound eagleofthebow 2011-01-25 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Mine sister?" Aridis is just.... in shock. Then brightens a great deal. "I hath missed thee dearly, welcome h--back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound shield_maiden 2011-01-25 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Svalin gave her twin a very big hug. "I art home, sister," she said. "Mine time with the Avengers ist done and Father gave me the choice of what I wanted to do. I hath missed thee greatly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound stone_bear 2011-01-25 02:49 am UTC (link)
	There's a loud, not-at-all-subtle thundering as Halbjorn runs back up to join the others. "I believe thou hast expressed some desire for one of these?" he asks, offering Svalin her Yule present - her own Bat'leth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound im_a_librarian 2011-01-25 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"I've heard good things about you," Dawn told Svalin. "Your family cares about you a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound shield_maiden 2011-01-25 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Svalin grinned. "And I doth love them all," she said. She paused when she saw the Bat'leth. "It ist a truly magnificent gift, Brother." She accepted the Bat'let and then hugged him. "I thank thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the hug. "I wast taught how to use them from some of the choreographers in Hollywood. It still seemst inefficient, but interesting. I shalt show thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tis most lovely a weapon," Aridis says honestly. She thinks weapons can be pretty to be honest. She is certain that her sister feels the same about weapons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eiltin nodded his head. "Well met you to as well," Eiltin said as he made his way over towards Grace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound shield_maiden 2011-01-25 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, it ist beautiful," she said. "It wilt go well alongside Vigfrior." Svalin drew her sword and held it up for her siblings to see. Okay, she was proud she had proved her worth and was showing off her new sword. "Where ist Asleif?" she asked noticing that her sister was not here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound im_a_librarian 2011-01-25 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	Dawn shrugged. "She... pretty much comes and goes, I guess. Off "finding herself," that kind of thing. She was here for Christmas and the New Year. You just missed her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Defender's Compound shield_maiden 2011-01-25 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin frowned. It was something to be addressed later. "I wouldst like to drop mine belongings in a room and quench mine thirst with some mead." She smiled. "And hear what thou all hath been up to since I left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
