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.

	"Thank thee all for coming," Svalin said. "I art not one for speeches or many words so this wilt be short. During mine travels with the Avengers I didst meet someone. Whilst we only hath a shot time together, we became close." She paused a moment almost as if gathering her courage. "I art with child." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The number of times Asleif has truly been surprised can be counted on one hand. Her jaw worked, but no sounds came out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't see why. I don't think it would if this Jon wasn't a god," Griffen reasons out loud. He isn't sure how to feel about a baby. "I could contact the Fantastic Four about a reinforced crib for him or her though? If you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique can't help but smile a little at some of the reactions. "Yeah, they do that. I think one of the Xavier's students married an Asgardian." "That might be a good idea, Griffin, but there's plenty of time. She's only a month along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin said and returned her brother's hug. "That may be most wise, friend Griffen." She looked at Asleif. "Sister, I wouldst ask a boon of thee. I must return to Asgard and speak to Lady Frigga," she said. "Wouldst thou take me there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn eyes those discussing godhood.

"If Odin accepts the new prince or princess as a god when they come of age, they wilt be a god, full as any. There art a number of the pantheon of mixed blood. Indeed, most of the Vanir, equal gods, hath he blood of the Elves in their line, and some of the Valkyrie hath mortal blood. For the Greeks, one is born a god or ist not, for the Asgardians, the blood must needs be there in part, but then it canst be earned, if one ist willing to accept the ways of Asgard."
