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.

	Frigga walked over to Svalin, giving her a warm smile. "Rise mine granddaughter," she said, embracing Svalin. She made a gesture for Vernique to rise as well. "Why didst thou feel the need to request an audience with me, mine granddaughter?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin rose and gave her grandmother a hug. "Lady Frigga, we cometh to ask for thine blessing to marry. I art with child and I doth not wish to give up the sword. A wife ist need to see to mine home and the child that doth grow inside of me. I care for and love Vernique and doth wish her to be mine wife here in Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique got up when indicated and just smiled politely when Svalin covered it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frigga processed what her granddaughter had just told her. She turned her attention to Vernique. "Wilst thou care for mine granddaughter and great-grandchild, and take good care of thine home and child? There ist also the concern of thou's chosen bride being mortal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Ma'am. I fully intend to." And then the last part. "Is that going to be a problem, ma'am?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	"If I may speak?" Svalin asked. When Frigga nodded she continued. "The father of mine child ist a mortal. Mine child wilt be one of two worlds, Asgard and Migard. Mine child wouldst benefit from having one parent be from Migard and be able to learn their ways as well as learn the ways of Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2011-02-06 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Frigga nodded again. "I understand," she said. "All I needed to know wast if thou would take care of mine granddaughter and her child." She stepped forward, taking both of their hands and joining them over her wrinkled one. "This marriage doth have mine blessing. When didst thee plan to wed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you, Ma'am." She holds Svalin's hand and looks up at her. "I don't know. It definitely has to be before May. May's bad luck for weddings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank thee, Lady Frigga," Svalin said and bowed deeply. "I doth not knoweth. Mine mother must speak to Lady Janet Van Dyne about dowry and we must get the lady Janet's blessing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2011-02-06 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Frigga nodded. "Aye," she said. "Surely, thou will inform me of plans for thine wedding, once thou obtains the blessing of Lady Janet Van Dyne?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, of course Lady Frigga," Svalin said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique nods. "Of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	"With thine leave, Lady Frigga," Svalin said and bowed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2011-02-06 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"You have mine leave, mine granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law." She gave Svalin one final embrace, and this time, she embraced Vernique as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique accepts the hug, deciding Lady Frigga is one of the sweetest old ladies ever. "Thank you. So nice to meet you. Goodbye." And she'll follow Svalin out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"What do thou think thine mother wilt say?" Svalin asked as they walked out. Svalin took them on a route that would take them around the Great Hall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"She'll be surprised, but she's a flexible person. Dad'll be more shocked, because he wasn't around for your parents' wedding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Wilt thy mother object?" Svalin asked. "What wilt she think of the child?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-06 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll need to talk about how serious this is -- I'm not supposed to be serious, after all. But she's not going to object. And she'll probably go crazy about a grandkid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-06 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. We doth need to discuss expectations and what the arrangements art going to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-07 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah...starting with East Coast/West Coast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-07 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, that wouldst be one of the things that doth need to be discussed." Svalin paused because she didn't know how to even mention another issue that would need to be discussed. It was a delicate subject to say the least. "There art other things to be discussed as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-07 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	And Vernique knows what it is and goes right there. "And I can keep my usual rotation of boys on Midgard, right? I'm taking Halbjorn off of it as part of a no Asgardian guys policy. I don't understand the culture here enough, and I don't want to do anything that could be used against you or the kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-02-07 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "Aye. Migard doth not matter and thou canst do what thine want. Asgard, there art certain proprieties to stay with due to mine station." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-02-07 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	She nods. "What about you? Think you'll be ready to consider guys again someday?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
