Svalin was stretched out on one of the large couches in the rec room of the main building and was trying hard to enjoy sitting still. Her feet and ankles had started to swell and her wife wasn't going to let her do much besides sit and put her feet up as much as she could. Svalin had tried to argue but it didn't get her anywhere except sitting on the couch with her feet up.

She sighed and looked at the television. To Kill a Mockingbird was on and Svalin was still waiting for the killing to start. Why was kill in the title if there was no killing in it? It didn't make much sense to her, but it was one of her wife's favorite movies and Svalin would watch it.

Svalin focused on the television and was surprised by the sudden kick. She gasped and reflexively put her hand on her stomach.

"Ale, please." Sigurdur requests.

"Would you like pale ale, dark ale or amber ale?" the waiter asks.

"What ale dost thou recommend, my friend?" Sigurdur asks.

"I prefer darker ales myself." the man replies.

"Dark ale it is." Sigurdur tells him, looking to Vernique.

"Why art these people staring at us, Lady Vernique? They hath seen a man of Asgard before, in Halbjorn. Have I done aught amiss?" he asks.

Unlike that fool, Dracula, Frost isn't about to engage Asgardians directly. He has other foes to deal with far more personal, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own minions and his own agenda. As well as his own ways of gaining influence in the affairs of the gods.

"Go." he tells the lesser vampires he's swayed to his control. "Occupy the Asgardian, be cautious. Try to turn the female if you can, if you are unable, injure her, infect her - she is important to one of the foes of the first. Once someone bites her, retreat, whatever the results."

	Dozens of lesser vampires crash through the glass windows, most heading towards the couple, a few distracted by other occupants. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sigurdur hears the glass smash and his head snaps in the direction of the disturbance. When he sees the creatures coming toward them, he stands up, grasping the table in one hand and swinging it at the on coming vampires.

"Lady Vernique! Get to safety! I wilt cover thy retreat!" Sigurdur says, cursing his stupidity.

He would not leave his weapon at home again after tonight.

	"Sigurdur, we've got a lot of civilians around here," Vernique says as semi-compliantly scrambles away from the table and gets further behind him as she starts shrinking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The first few are knocked aside by the table, but get back up as others swarm, the majority trying to fence Sigurdr in, others looking for ways to get past him and closer to Vernique. A few get clever, finding just about anything not nailed down, and using minor super human strength to launch tables, chairs, knives... whatever they can manage.

A couple hear the conversation, and start towards some of the civilians to try and draw the pair out to defend the other people.

Sigurdur swats aside a chair and catches a table, but knows that Lady Vernique has the right of it. These humans lack the ability to defend themselves as he and she do.

As the hardiest person in the room, Sigurdur makes a decision.

"FOR ASGARD!" he yells, and charges the vampires closest to him, swinging massive fists and trying to batter down as many as possible while he can.

	Two vampires go down in the charge, others closing ranks, abandoning the civilians to try and wolfpack the Asgardian. Another staggers back under the stun, with a couple others rushing at her now that she doesn't have the Asgardian's direct protection. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur fights valiantly, but the numbers game is against him. They bite and claw at him, even as he punches his fist through the chest of one and tosses another away like a rag doll. He attempts to push them all away in one movement, looking for any opening he can take to give Vernique enough time to become smaller. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique stays flitting high near the ceiling, looking for the highest window she can dart out of. "I'm going to get help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Five of them, the oldest, turn into bats, following after Vernique as she heads for the window. The push forces the group back, flinging vampires about the room and giving Vernique a head start, but its not long before they're working on wolf-packing it, trying to surround and wear down the Asgardian.

	Sigurdur knows what's happening, but without a weapon to his name, he's going to lose to the numbers game in this battle. Still, he lashes out with a fist here and a foot there, trying to take as many down with him as possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At her smallest size, darting out of the window, Vernique really is like a bullet with butterfly wings. And she's aiming in the direction of Hal's studio lot. "SVALIN!" she screams. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully Asgardian hearing is very good and the two heard the cry. "Brother, go to her aid," she /commanded/. "I wilt be behind thee." Hal had always been able to run faster than Svalin, more so now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hesitates for only a moment. Leaving the heir when Dracula is about rankles him - but he's not going to disobey either. He climbs back to the roof, waiting for Vernique. "Thou'rt distressed. What troubles thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique gasps out enough to talk after travelling at her utmost top speed. "Vampires. Lots. Sig's totally outnumbered and we've got civilians." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tired as he is, he's not about to turn down the fight. Halbjorn leaps off towards the address indicated, trusting his sister's wife to handle the evacuation and make sure Svalin didn't get in further trouble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
