Sparring Session
Svalin had seen to Tryggvi and Snowflake as she always did in the mornings around sunrise. She put the two horses out to graze after feeding them. Once she was done she grabbed her Bat'let and went outside on the lawn to practice before the sun got too hot.

The blade felt as comfortable in her hands as Vigfrior did. Svalin could use it with as much proficiency and ease as she did the weapons she grew up with. The air whooshed as the blade moved through the air.

	"Aye. I hath learned to appreciate e'ery day and what I hath." She smiled. "I hath learned to appreciate the heat, but I art getting hungry." She loved walking along the surf, but her growing son was demanding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well. Let us return to the main house so that thou may eat." Sigurdur says. He can always come back here later, but if Svalin didn't eat, she would likely forget and find a reason not to later. "I art ready when thou art." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Shall we?" she said and motioned toward the stairs with her hand. She wasn't looking forward to going /up/ them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The lady first." Sigurdur says, moving into position to support Svalin as she goes up the stairs. An accidental fall would not be good. However, if he notes she has any true hesitation or difficulty, he will suggest that he carry her up the stairs to easy her burden. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She put a hand on his arm for balance and started toward the stairs. "I art planning to spend most of the rest of the day inside reading or watching some movies. Thou'rt welcome to join me or go with Vernique or another Defender and explore more of Migard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap I wilt join thee for a time, before seeking somewhat else to do. My sword must be sharpened, I must bathe and also walk the grounds again." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou must also have some fun and relax," she urged. "Or we shall be calling thee Sigurdur the Grim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well played, Svalin. You earn a rather big smile from the man and possibly a hint of embarrassed blushing.

"I doth not believe my actions on Midgard wilt earn me mine father's title. Thou continued teasing and jests wilt keep me from becoming grim for a long time yet." he sys, continuing to help her up the stairs.

"I must tell Lady Sarah that the food here ist wonderful. There ist always so much and they hath ice cream as well." Sigurdur says.

	"We shall see," Svalin said with a smile. "Worry not, mine friend, I wilt not let thee become Sigurdur the Grim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I wilt not let thee face another dragon without aid, Svalin Dragonslayer. I art still in awe and envy of that task. Dragons art hard to find, even in the tales." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-25 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	"One day we wilt face a dragon together," she promised. "I wouldst be honored to be by thine side." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mayhap there wilt be more than dragons to see as well. I wouldst also like to face several more enemies at thine side if thou allowed it." Sigurdur says.

As soon as he said it, though, he kicked himself mentally. That would never happen, as his service was to protect Svalin during her pregnancy. It was very likely that he would have to return to Asgard after the babe was born and go back to his duties. Sigurdur doesn't want to think about having to return to Asgard and watching Svalin disappear from his life again.

/That/ would serve to make him Sigurdur the Grim.

"What doth thou wish to eat this day?" he asks, forcing a smile back to his face.

	Svalin smiled. "I wouldst like that. There wilt be many more adventures after mine son ist born and I wouldst like thee by mine side." Svalin liked the idea of seeing him after the baby was born. She liked having him near. "Mayhap some light fare. I doth not like to eat heavy in the heat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur nods. "Bread and cheese, mayhap? That sounds amazing at this time. Possibly a nap afterward, before nightfall and duty." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-26 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "That doth sound good." She smiled. "With some chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-27 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Sigurdur blinks a bit at the request, then figures she must be having a craving. "Ah. I hath yet to try this 'chocolate' you speak of. Lady Vernique mentioned it hast great healing properties. Ist it an herb or somewhat else?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-27 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Nay, but it ist quite delicious." She tucked an arm around his and patted his arm. Very muscular arm, she noted. "I wilt introduce thee to chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-27 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"I gather that thou shalt introduce me to many things I hath not know, Svalin." Sigurdur smiles, leading her to the house, walking slowly to allow her to keep pace with him. He liked the feel of her arm in his. It felt natural and right, which both elated and troubled him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, mine friend. Aye," she said with a smile. "Vernique, Lady Syndey and young Zoey as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-27 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Lady Zoey ist already teaching me a game she called 'Uno'. She made me play against the Titan the last eve. I did not fare well, but I shalt try again on the morrow." Sigurdur says. "I believe I hath a strategy to defeat him this time." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "She doth maketh all of us play. Usually she doth play for candy and wins a lot in the end. Though I doth know mine brother loses intentionally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist a clever strategy Halbjorn has." Sigurdur smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-28 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. He doth not like sweets so for him it ist a way to rid himself of them without wasting." "Zoey ist quite good and doth wins a lot without us trying to lose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-06-29 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"And what ist thine strategy, Svalin? I wouldst hear it so that I might add it to mine own when it ist my time to play against Lady Zoey." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-29 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "To have fun. It ist not about winning or losing, but playing the game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
