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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	"I hast my assignment, Vernique. Svalin was also attacked because I wast not there. If she had been injured or her child hurt, that would hath been mine own fault. I cannot take that risk." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Let me parse that sentence for a moment. Svalin was attacked because you weren't there. Okay, hotshot, let's sort this out. Let's ignore the fact that Svalin and the baby were fine, because she was with Hal. Do you really think the vampires would have said 'oh gosh, we'd better not attack, because Sigurdur is there' and not attacked? Oh wait, we know they don't think that way, because they attacked us. But if you seriously think you brought danger on Svalin by enjoying my company for a minute, fine. I say that making sure you don't have fun isn't going to keep Svalin and the baby any safer, but that's just one mortal's opinion."

Sigurdur may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even he can tell when a conversation is not going well. He has heard his father misspeak to his mother and pay the price for it.

He takes a deep breath.

"I didst not meant to infer that thy company is not welcome or fulfilling, Vernique. I only mean to say that I intend to fulfill my task and bring honor to my family. I wast lucky to be chosen for this task, considering that mine brother ist a traitor to Asgard.

I cannot fail and disgrace mine father further." he says quietly.
