Cookout
There had been an invitation for Excalibur to attend a cookout with the Defenders for Independence Day. Quinn was a Brit by birth, but he had spent half of his life in New York. He considered himself a Yankee as well as a Brit.

When it was time he teleported all from Excalibur who wanted to go to the Defenders compound. Quinn was looking forward to a day in the sun, on the beach and watching girls in bikinis with a lot of good food on hand. Not to mention Asgardian mead. It would truly be a wonderful day.

They arrived in a flash right outside the gates to the compound. It was rude to arrive inside the gates and Quinn didn't feel like fighting. He was a lover, not a fighter.

	Svalin blinked. Okay he got her there. "I meant hovering as in staying close and checking up on me. Mortals call it hovering. Go have some fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Svalin, with all due respect...the All-Father didst not send me to Earth for pleasure, though there is much to be found. He bade me watch over thee. The last time I did not do so, thou wast attacked by vampires. If anything had happened to thee...I wouldst be called upon to explain mine failure.

Since then, I hath vowed to redouble mine efforts to see thee safe. Thou art important to me. As in...thy safety. That ist what I mean." Sigurdur says.

	"Sigurdur, I art here surrounded by not one, but two superhero teams. I assure thee I art quite safe and if it wilt make thee feel more at ease, I wilt not leave this chair. Thou needst to interact with the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Trying to hone in on my turf, handsome?" Vernique says as she comes up to the two of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay, Lady Vernique. I art simply trying to live up to mine tasks. I hath not done well by either of you thus far. Mayhap I should take this time to consider how I might do better in my tasks in the future." Sigurdur says. "I shalt return." he says, turning to go. He decides to take a walk and ponder how best to fulfill his role and return when the food is ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He ist most vexing at times," Svalin said with a scowl. "I wast only telling him to socialize." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The boy is Serious Business," Vernique agrees wryly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," she agreed. "He doth need to learn to have some fun once in awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin scowled a bit. "I hath learned." She had proof of it as well. Proof that was trying to use an organ for target practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-07-05 03:43 am UTC (link)
	She squeezed her hand. "Yeah, you have." And then that proof gets a look. "How's it going little man? Getting envious of all the attention little the little Irishman's getting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-07-05 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	"He must. He ist trying to kick an organ in." It had been getting harder and harder to be comfortable and her son kicking her insides didn't help any. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"V'ry true, but it doth not seem reassuring as it ist meant to be." "I art worried about Sigurdur," Svalin said. "He ist taking the vampire attack personally and thinking he failed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After a talk with Griffen, Sigurdur can be found near Hal's forge, sharpening his sword and thinking on the situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-07-06 02:26 am UTC (link)
	And soon those perfect little heels can be heard clicking a little behind him between sharpening noises. "Hello." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-07-07 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Sigurdur does not immediately look up from his sword, but he recognizes the sound of her heels. Few women on Midgard sound the way Vernique does when she walks. "Well met, Vernique. Thou art far from the party. Is aught amiss?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-07-07 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Something's amiss. I have this friend who seems like he's beating himself up about something really stupid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_of_winter 2011-07-07 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, I art sorry for thine friend. Hopefully is mistake was not so grievous that he cannot make amends." Sigurdur says, the reference going right over his head. "Art thou enjoying the party?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-07-07 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"It's a lovely party. Why aren't you at it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art not here to make merry, Vernique. I wast entrusted with a task by the All-Father. I canst not do my duty while making merry." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
