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 nodded as she pulled out some bread, fruit and mead. She found a block of cheese as well. She placed the items on the table. "I knowest, but it wilt feel like eternity. It ist hard being inactive. It doth make me wonder how MomOne dealt with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Patience. Thine mother wast far, far older than thee when she had thee and thy fullblood sister. Though she hast oft complained of boredom during that time, twas still but a short time compared to the many centuries of war. And I hath ne'er heard her regret giving birth to either of thee."

	"That ist because thou returned to the Bear Sarks hall after that time we decided to go hunt a dragon." A pause. "And the time we went to battle a Frost Giant. Both mothers wert not happy." Svalin did smile at the memory though. "Though I think it wast more that we didn't invite her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grumbles, but its in good humor. "Mayhap, or that we didst not find the dragon. E'en when she wast not along, she always cheered thy triumphs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, but she doth worry like any mother," Svalin said and broke the bread and offered him some first. "Now we hath to find thee a dragon to battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-11 12:33 am UTC (link)
	He settles in, digging into the bread. "Aye, and no doubt, we wilt, in time. Methinks dragons mayst be the least of the fun in coming times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-11 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"Mayhap," she said as she took a piece of bread for herself. "How ist thine acting? I art curious about how movies art made." Occasionally she watched one with Lady Sydney, but they usually had a battle of some kind in it. Zoey had made her watch a few, but Svalin rarely understood them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know! Twas most odd, I look naught like a Celt... but they told me they needed someone large, muscled, red haired and understanding of great rages... and the benefits wert most impressive. Thou shouldst see the lead actress. At least if I am to play a Celt, I am playing THE Celt, of their heroes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bah, thou needst ne'er thank me. But... I suppose the lady Sydney doth prefer such manners, so good practice, mayhap. But aye... I wilt be certain thou'rt at the first preview of the movie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
