Having Fun in the Warm California Sun
For Svalin getting two new weapons at the same time was like a kid getting toys at Christmas and not knowing which one to play with first. Vigfrior was one of the most perfect weapons Svalin had ever picked up. The sword was...well perfect. The grip fit her hand with perfections, the balance was unlike she had ever seen and it the ability to change into different weapons. Svalin no longer had to worry about carrying a small arsenal with her.

Then there was the Bat'leth. Her brother had done excellent work and she truly didn't deserve such a gift. Svalin had been practicing almost non-stop with the two weapons when she wasn't doing other chores around the compound. At first the Bat'leth felt clumsy and awkward, but Svalin was a warrior and she practiced religiously and took to weapons like no other. Now her movements were fluid, almost graceful and she knew she could now use the weapon in combat.

Maybe soon she would get her chance to use both weapons in combat.

She thought about Vernique as she went through her afternoon training routine. She had left a message with her inviting her out to visit for a few days. Svalin may have said something about wanting some new Migard clothes. If anything brought Vernique out, it would be the promise of shopping and the chance to dress Svalin up.

She hadn't heard back from Vernique, but she had used Sydney's phone because she didn't have one of her own. Though she knew Syndey would tell her if Vernique had called. That she was sure of.

She continued to go through her forms and Zoey mirrored her movements. She could tell the child had been practicing while she was away and had improved. After practice they would see to their horses and then Svalin promised Zoey she would take her swimming.

	"A little while." Vernique does a little counting in her head. One week, two weeks, three, four... "So, tired, huh? From all the workouts Zoey's been giving you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A Bat'leth? Oh, that must be fun. You know, Klingon formal dresses are just gorgeous, even if I don't get why they carry a Bat'leth to their own weddings." "Fruit juice would be great," Vernique says as she takes a seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-04 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, it is," Svalin said with a grin. She fetched a glass from the cabinet and filled it with orange juice. She placed it on the counter in front of Vernique. Sarah placed a plate of fruit and cheeses near the two women, smiled and then went back to working on baking bread. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
