Moving Meditation (open to Defenders)
To say Svalin didn't deal well with inactivity was a big understatement. She was not the type to sit still and do very little which made this pregnancy into a very taxing thing. The blood of warriors ran her her veins and it wasn't easily stilled. It made her irritable and restless.

Svalin was awake before the sun had risen. A nightmare, one of her son destroying Asgard and Migard and Jon accusing her of letting it happen, woke her and she found sleep elusive afterward. The words spoken to her by her grandfather on her wedding day weighed heavily on her mind. She could not easily ignore the possibility of her son being the cause of the destruction of two worlds.

Svalin made her way up to the main building and to the training room. Some exercise and practice would help calm her thoughts and help her center herself. She programmed the room to a low level setting and had it create some robot opponents. Svalin knew they were a creation of light and force fields, but they would serve her purpose well enough.

Vigfrior was a sword and she started hacking through the fabricated robots.

	Svalin blinked and then it hit her. It was /snowing/. She smiled and looked around. "Thank thee," she said with a tired smiled. "'Tis most refreshing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, I art fine, thank you," Svalin said as she straightened up. "It wast a good workout." She grinned. "Mayhap some water wouldst be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can do that!" Marlow disappeared around a doorway and returned with a two bottles of water from the cooler in the gym. She handed them both to Svalin. "It's interesting to watch you practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-08 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank thee," she said and opened one. A moment later the water was gone. "Wouldst thou care for lessons?" Svalin asked as she opened the second bottle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-05-08 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Lessons? You mean, learn to fight like you do?" The idea had never crossed her mind before. With magic at her fingertips, it had never occurred to Clea or Doctor Strange to have Marlow trained in physical combat. It fascinated her, she couldn't deny it. "Do you think I could learn?"

	Svalin smiled. "Aye. I couldst teach thee and thou wilt learn. It ist wise to learn many types of combat instead of relying on one. The same doth apply to weapons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would like to," Marlow said decisively. "Magic is good but it would be nice to know how to do something else. What do I need? A sword? I can conjure a sword." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-09 12:47 am UTC (link)
	"There ist no need," Svalin said. "I have wooden practice swords. They art better for starting and lighter for thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-05-09 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Happy, she nearly bounced on her feet. "When do you want to start?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-09 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Now ist fine," she said. "I can instruct and it wilt give me a rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-05-10 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you sure? I don't want you to get too tired." Wouldn't it surprise Clea and Doctor Strange if she could do something else? Neither of them had taught her any non-magical skill and this was big. "I can come back tomorrow if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-10 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I art sure," Svalin said. "Thou wilt be doing most of the work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-05-10 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	That settled it. Marlow wasn't going to argue. "What should I do first?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-10 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Let me go get the practice swords and then we wilt start," Svalin said. "I wilt only be a few moments." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While Svalin was gone, Marlow created small illusions of mystical dragons and monsters, and different types of swords. Her forays into fantasy movies had seized her brain and poured out in her excitement. She was holding a combination of lightsabre broadsword and waving it about when Svalin returned.

	"Here ist a training sword for thee," Svalin said and offered the sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2011-05-11 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Marlow's illusions disappeared in swirls of sparkles, unnecessary but she liked the lights. She took the sword in both hands. "What now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-12 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Now we wilt work on grip, footwork and balance," Svalin said. And they will do just that. (Reply to this)(Parent)
