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.

When Vernique gets around to finding him, Halbjorn is out on the beach, working on his surfing. He's kept up with it ever since Anya taught him how - though unlike most of the surfers around, he far prefers to surf during the middle of thunderstorms and bad weather. More of a challenge.

Today, though, he's just enjoying the weather, and the beach being mostly left to just him, since its still rather cold by most people's standards.

	Vernique's a bit more bundled up when she goes to find him. "Well met!" She calls out from across the beach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-04 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	He bounds over, dropping his surfboard along the way so he has both arms free to pick her up and whirl her around. "Vernique! Well met, indeed! Tis good to see thee, and I hear I hath thee to thank for seeing mine sister through trying times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique hung on when whirled and laughed happily. "We did our best to look out for each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique smiles sheepishly. "I made a few mistakes there. Got her on a date with a very nice looking boy, but while some good came out of it, some of it backfired." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-04 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Mine sister hath no regrets. Thou shouldst not either. Sometimes, what hast been must be accepted, and the good that comes of it appreciated. Besides, thou hast accomplished a great deal - now she hast agreed to celebrate victories with the rest of the warriors, not simply win them and move on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad to hear it. She really missed you." Vernique leaned in. "So'd I, for that matter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-04 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	He lifts her higher to give her a firm kiss. "And I hath missed the both off thee, but I am glad thou hast had such an adventure!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kisses him. "Thank you. Y'know, some people present aren't part Frost Giant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why yes, how kind of you to notice." Vernique smiles. "I hear you're an actor now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He's happy to continue to carry her, once he fetches his surfboard. He heads back towards the house.

"Aye, though it hast presented me with a most vexing problem. There ist some awards show or other than Simon's agent ist insistent I must attend. Apparently I am...'up' for some award or other and shouldst be on hand to acknowledge such accolades. But I needeth dress properly, and come with a date. Knowst thou anything of the...oscars?"

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique's happily perched with her arms clutched around his neck. She listens, happy for him and ready to accept going to anything. Then, "The Oscars? Yes, I'm familiar, Hal. Well done being nominated. Film industry people consider it a great honor. And I'd love to go. I'll have to think of just the right dress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, some sort of supporting actor... thing, I believe. Mayhap thou couldst also help me get fitted in appropriate garb?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	A Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nomination. Somehow, Vernique felt sure that he was playing a large, boisterous, sweet-scary barbarian. Call it a hunch. "Of course. There's got to be some way to find a tux that'll fit without driving you crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She'd be right, of course - his first leading role doesn't come out for months, but he's been 'the big guy' in a couple of period and fantasy pics already.

"I hath been given a ver' large budget to work with, at least. They art insistent I wear a tuxedo, howe'er. Thine aid ist most appreciated. Normally, on the sets, they worry not of such things, even at cast parties."

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course. Being picky about it on set would just be rude. To you and most of the female cast members." Vernique smirks and cuddles a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-04 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	He leans his surfboard against the back door, then heads inside, still carrying her as he ducks through doorways. "Now, wouldst thou care for some mead? T'will help in warming thy blood whilst we art talking, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-04 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-04 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	He takes her to his room, still pretty spartan, aside from a few changes of clothes, weapons hung on the walls, and the very large, fur covered bed. He heads for one of the chests, finding the mead he's looking for and pouring them both a mug, likewise drawn out of his alcohol storage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's no shock to her that Hal's not much of a decorator.She'll accept it with a smile, and finds a spot to sit as she kicks off her neat little heels. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-05 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"Of course." he agrees, settling in with her on the only real place to sit - the bed, which is at least spacious and comfortable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-05 12:25 am UTC (link)
	She sits among the fur and sips her mead lightly. "I've missed you." A pause. "So what did Svalin tell you about Jon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-02-05 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"Ver' little, and I didst not pry. Tis enow that mine sister found a young man she fancied." he begins, then replies to the first statement after a deep drink from his mug. "And I, thee as well, fair one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
