Call to Duty (Odin, Halbjorn, Svalin)

Sigurdur Hogunson returned to the Golden City the moment the messenger found him. The All-Father demanded his presence immediately and Sigurdur's mind raced with the implications. He was not a wise man, and therefore did not know why the Lord of Asgard needed him. Questions arose in his mind during his ride to Odin's hall, but no answers presented themselves.

He hoped that he had not displeased his lord and master.

He arrived at the hall and was admitted without further word. No one spoke to him, but their glances asked the same question that stuck in Sigurdur's mind.

Why?

When he reached Odin's throne, Sigurdur stopped at a respectable distance and slammed his fist to his heart, taking a knee and kneeling before his liege.

"I, Sigurdur Hogunson, present myself to thee, my King. How may I serve Asgard this day?" he asks in greeting.

"Thou art welcome to it!" Sigurdur says. "But thou must bring a bowl for ice cream. I do not believe thine parents would wish thou to hath quite so much as the rest of us." he laughs.

He pauses to take in another spoonful of ice cream and notes that Halbjorn had a point about the sweetness.

"Tell me, Lady Zoey, what dost thou know of pizza? What is thy favorite flavor?" he asks.

	"Ice cream for thee," Svalin said and put a bowl of ice cream in front of Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you, Svalin," Zoey said. "Pizza is awesome! Only the best after ice cream and candy. I like pepperoni the best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Personally I like a bit of everything on my pizza," Griffen supplies as he makes his way in. He has a pair of safety goggle pushed up high on his head. There is also the faint hint of burnt ozone on his person. He has been tinkering away with the gauntlets he uses for his kinetic shields.

"And I'm a fan of German chocolate when it comes to ice cream." He peers over.

"We have company? Er. Hello there. I'm Griffen O'Niell."

	"Aye. This ist Sigurdur Hogunson. He ist mine and Vernique's protector." Though if Svalin knew her wife, he would be more than that to Vernique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well met, friend Griffen. What ist the helmet that thou wears upon thine head? It seems to only cover thine eyes." Sigurdur says, a bit confused. Midgard clothing was certainly strange and varied from human to human. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin knew her wife so well. "Glasses. They serve as vision correction and, occasionally, eye protection. In Califonria, the kind that shield the eyes from too much light are particularly handy. I have plenty myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And these," he taps the goggles on the top of his head. "Are safety goggles. I was doing some work with some heat and wiring. I didn't want to cause myself an injury while I was working."

He definitely dressed differently than the girls. In a geeky way not an overly manly way. "Your protector?"

He tilts his head looking thoughtful then nodded at them. "It makes sense. If we need more safety precautions on the technological side, talk to me. I can work together some new devices I'm sure or ask Mr Stark what he would advise."

Actually on a second thought Griffen thinks he would ask Anya, Ms Stark is very bright.

	"Aye," Svalin answered. "There ist concern for our child's safety. Sigurdur wilt see that he doth not come to harm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-05-27 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"Harm wilt not come to Lady Svalin, Lady Vernique or their son." Sigurdur says, correcting Svalin gently. "Friend Griffen, perhaps I wouldst speak with thee on keeping these lands secure in order to protect the people within, as well as Lady Svalin and her family." Sigurdur says.

	"Griffen do you want some ice cream?" Zoey asked before shoving some ice cream in her mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur eats his ice cream while watching the interplay between these people. They seem like a family of sorts, talking, laughing and joking with each other. It reminds him of his father's stories of traveling with the Warriors Three and Lord Thor. He looks to Svalin. "Lady Svalin, art thou well? Doth thou need to rest or walk?" he asks.

	"I art fine, Sigurdur," she replied. "If thou wouldst like, I canst show thee to where thou wilt be staying so thou may settle thine belongings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd be happy to. My Mother resides here and I don't want any of the other mortals like myself who reside here need to be thought of. I know ways to ah, up security the mortal way," he rubbed the bridge of his nose. Zoey brought him out of his thought and he nodded. "Yeah. I'll get myself a bowl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. I wouldst like that very much, Lady Svalin. It wilt also allow me to make certain that thou dost not exert thyself too much." he says, finishing his ice cream and rising from his seat to put it in the sink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If thou wouldst follow me," she said and would lead him out and to the bungalow where he would be staying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-04 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	Sigurdur follows Svalin to the bungalow and looks around approvingly. "I needst only to memorize the direction from mine space to thine. I wilt take up watch this night and make certain you rest safely, Lady Svalin." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin would normally argue about not needing him to keep watch, but he knew she would not talk him out of it. Like herself, Sigurdur was duty-minded and a bit stubborn. "This way," she said and led him upstairs to her bedroom. "I must warn thee so thou art not alarmed, I oft wake from nightmares." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-05 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Sigurdur stops a moment and reaches out to take Svalin's hand. "Lady Svalin, what afflicts thee that thou hast nightmares?" he asks gently. And then he realizes what he's done and lets go of her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Had it been anyone else Svalin would have chastised them for daring to touch her without permission, but she had known Sigurdur since they were children. She smiled at the concern.

"I oft dream of mine son and what couldst be. If it ist to come to pass I wilt haft to kill mine son."

"Sigurdur, we hath known each other since we wert children and thou used to just called me Svalin. I wouldst like thee to call me that again."

	"Aye, Lad--aye, Svalin." Sigurdur says, correcting himself. "Take heart, Svalin. While I know nothing of thy son's father, I know of thee. Thou art the Goddess of Hope and a warrior of Asgard. There art a small, small few who couldst be a better of example for thy son. Dreams tell us many things, but not all things." Sigurdur says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thou'rt most kind, Sigurdur. I doth appreciate thine words of confidence and assurance."

She smiled at him and then continued to lead him up to her sleeping chambers. "These art mine sleeping chambers." The room is spartan in decoration. No pictures on the walls, but there was one on the nightstand next to her bed. Various weapons leaned against one of the walls and a pair of boots stood at the foot of the bed.

Sigurdur did his best not to look at the picture on the nightstand; he didn't want be accused of prying, but he did step inside and take a look around, just to make certain he knew how the room was laid out. Someone might think it best to try to attack Svalin /in/ her room, though he smiled as he imagined the fate such a person would likely receive.

"Thou keeps a room after mine own heart. Little needed or asked for and can be readily moved at notice." Sigurdur says in appreciation, as he looks around again, this time, his eyes lingering on the picture before turning back to her.

"With thy permission, I wilt begin mine watch now. Please rest and alert me if thou hast need of anything. I wilt be outside the door." Sigurdur says.

	Svalin smiled and a little red touched her cheeks. "I art not one for trinkets or possessions outside of mine sword, mine armor and mine horse. I hath a wife to deal with the rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. I feel the same. When we die, there wilt be no need of anything other than thine weapons and armor. When Ragnarok comes, all that shalt matter is who stands beside thee when the All-Father's horn is sounded. It wilt be glorious." Sigurdur smiles. "I wilt not take up thy time further, Svalin. Sleep well." he says, turning to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
