Getting Ready For School (open)
School shopping with a very opinionated five-year-old was an experience Sydney would like to forget, mutant power aside. It had been a constant battle for the past three hours. Zoey loved being out and loved going shopping, it was just her taste in clothes. Everything the child picked out had been black. It wasn't any place strange where she picked up her taste in fashion, but did everything have to be black?

It just made school shopping VERY difficult.

In the end most of Zoey's clothes were black, but Syd had managed to get the child to agree on some clothes with other colors in them.

Syd sighed as the front door closed behind her. She dropped the numerous bags she carried in the foyer. First something cold to drink, then she'd come back and grab the bags to put the clothes away. This year Syd had bought her at least double what they had bought last year. It was nice to have a good paying job and to be able to provide for her daughter. Zoey's birthday was in a week and Syd would be able to make it the best birthday of Zoey's life. She just had to find time to go shopping without Zoey.

She made her way into the kitchen in search of that cold drink.

	"Aye. Wouldst not do the child well to be like Asleif and those princesses," she agreed. "Methinks the Lady Sydney wouldst prefer her daughter to be strong and independent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Indeed, and a'ready, she imitates mine sister quite closely. They only just returned from procuring her clothing for school... twas nigh all black. Regardless... I shalt get to work designing a sword and shield... thou wilt need to learn their crest for the shield. I wouldst offer, but such research ist beyond my knowledge of letters. But I wilt prepare much of the crafting so that thou canst concentrate on thy training, and seeking a proper spring foal."

	"Thou'rt a good brother, Halbjorn. E'en if thou refuses to learn to read letters." Svalin shook her head. She knew he was capable of learning how to read, but he refused to learn. "Perhaps for Yule, I wilt get proper clothes for young Zoey. Black ist not the only color for clothes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I canst sign mine own name. But I am neither sorceror nor woman... I hath no need to crawl through dusty tomes, nor to ponder the law. I hath most of the great stories memorized and am working on the others whene'er I canst hear them told. Though this world seemst to carry no such tradition... at the local pubs and bars, e'eryone keeps to themselves and muses silently o'er their weak drink."
Most disappointing discovery, that.

"Agreed. There ist time enow before Yule, we couldst procure her a full and proper wardrobe."

	"There'rt many more interesting stories in books. Thou wouldst enjoy them if thou knew how to read." "Aye. She doth need proper clothes." Asleif did not wear proper clothes. Ever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I hath ne'er the patience nor the interest. I know our ways and tales, tis what ist expected. I hath three sisters, and all of thee wert trained in letters and law."
This is another of those discussions that usually ends about the same way. At least they agree on most things.
"Most surely. Mayhap at least light chainmail, in case she hast no sorceror's gift, or wishest to learn thine arts instead."

	They couldn't agree on everything all of the time. "Aye. I shouldst start now and there would be enow time to finish before Yule." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Woudlst not hurt thee to wear armor," she said. "I wouldst like to see thee at mine side during Ragnarok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He scowls. "T'will ne'er happen. Mine totem wouldst abandon me. I wouldst no more give up being what I am than thou wouldst toss aside thine weapons and armor for an apron and stewpot. If I am at thy side for the final battle, t'will be because no foe until that day canst better mine strength and courage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins and shakes his head. "We shalt see, when the day comest. Until then, tis always a joy to fight by thine side. In any case, for now, I wilt aid thee with Zoey's armor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "Thank thee, Halbjorn. On the morrow we wilt find a horse for young Zoey." (Reply to this)(Parent)
