But It's My Day Off!
It pained him to admit it, but Vincent had been somewhat remiss lately. In spite of their decision to date one another exclusively, he'd hardly been able to make any time for Asleif. It wasn't as if she'd been hounding him for it, as she seemed thoroughly absorbed in her world travels, but it bothered him, and rightfully so.

A painstakingly thorough clearing of his schedule for a day had been arranged, along with putting together an itinerary of things to do together. He'd even gone the extra mile and asked MacKenzie the favor of being on standby for any F4 related emergencies in his stead (with a caveat that if magic was involved, he should be contacted immediately).

And so, crafting the most precise veil he knew how to, he will slip up behind the object of his affections as she thinks she is off and alone.

"My lady." Comes a whisper over her shoulder, as he manages to keep the tone soft in spite of his grin.

	Asleif bit into one as well, her tongue teasing a few stray drops of juice from her lips. "Yes, well, they typically are not invited to the reunions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly the reaction she had hoped for. "Nothing of any significance," she assured him. She carefully placed a finger in her mouth, removing the last traces of fruit and juice from it as she drew it out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time he was ready for it. He simply smirks appreciatively at her and sips his own juice. "What do you want to do today? Name it, and I'll find it for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know," Asleif reflected, "I have never actually been to a beach? We had one, of course, at the compound, but I spend no time upon it" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "Now that, my lady, presents a delightful option for the day." He chews his food slowly, looking her over quite thoroughly, clearly forming an image of something most pleasant in his mind. "Yes... I believe that will do just fine.." He speaks quietly, showing teeth as he smiles, before wiping his mouth delicately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I cannot deny that. Rest assured, I'll let you know when we have a bit more seclusion." He smiles and flicks his eyebrows up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose I am, at that." He grins. "Sometimes I'm not even sure what I'm up to." You know nothing of who you really are. Shut up. They occupy themselves with idle chit-chat over the rest of breakfast, then depart for the beach. Vincent takes Asleif's hand as they walk.

	Re: Rio de Janeiro godlierthanthou 2011-07-27 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Asleif pretended to give this a great deal of thought. "Lately...? I suppose it depends upon how one chooses to define the term." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Allow me to elaborate." Vincent said, just as their feet were beginning to find sand beneath them. He turned and placed his hands on her hips. "Be very still." He leaned in and kissed her, as his fingers drew patterns on her clothing, which soon glowed to life. In moments, they were each dressed in clothing more appropriate to the beach.

	Re: Rio de Janeiro godlierthanthou 2011-07-28 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Well, this was... different. Asleif could not recall a single instance of being quite this unclothed in public before. It did, she would admit, serve the purpose of making them more inconspicuous. She resisted the urge to conjure herself an umbrella. Her gaze fell over him instead, a gaze most appreciative. "You have... excellent taste," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Rio de Janeiro quitethecharmer 2011-07-28 12:09 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "I'm not only a demi-god, I'm also European." He smooths his hands over her hips, before taking her arm again, as they walk towards the beach. The ground begins to rumble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, for Hel's sake...." Asleif snapped. "What on Midgard is going on now?" Really? Another location with trouble? It was like one of those terrible mortal television programs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent looks ready to murder someone with an icepick as a volcano, an honest-to-goodness volcano, rises up a few hundred feet offshore. Some sort of shuttle-craft seems to be circling it, a familiar woman hanging out the door with a camera in hand, as a loudspeaker blares.

"As you can see, prospective buyers, the A.I.M. Portable Magma Induction Array will let you rewrite the landscape wherever you please, with that perfect measure of shock and awe that ballistics cannot match and none of the nasty clean-up of radiation or chemicals."

Vincent's jaw locks as he recognizes the figure('s figure), even at a distance.

	"Is she... attempting to sell something?" Asleif asked, incredulous. At this point, she'd actually passed the point of murderous rage. No, now she was simply too stunned to rage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Rio de Janeiro quitethecharmer 2011-07-28 12:59 am UTC (link)
	Vincent manages to form a coherent sentence, after a few false starts. "Asleif, I am going to turn my gaze away from you and evacuate any endangered civilians. I am sure you will resolve the problem." For good measure, he puts in a call to Kristoff as he starts moving. This is science beyond his level. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A.I.M is apparently shooting an infomercial. They've raised a volcano off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. I'm evacuating people, but I need a resolution to the technology itself while Asleif runs offensive duties against the operatives."

Vincent feels no need to tell Kristoff about everything else that had gone wrong. Not now anyway. Peach brandy and banitsa may be necessary before that can be laughed over.

"Negative. The volcano rising's initial seismic activity seems to be fading, but magma is beginning to surge. It will reach land very quickly." Vincent begins levitating people out of the water and hurrying them towards shore.

"Should I open a Gate for you, or can you get access a teleporter? I believe Dr Pym installed a dimensional door for Reed on his last visit."

	Asleif was walking towards the hovercraft, stepping on air as if gravity was currently rather meaningless. A magical blast turned the camera into a frog. "You have exactly three seconds to convince me not to turn you into something unpleasant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The woman grabbed the frog and placed it in a utility pouch. She'd figure out how to retrieve the archived footage later. Another camera came flitting out from the craft.

"Plenty of time." She reached into her backpack and then hurled herself off the platform, swinging what looked like a plain oak staff at Asleif. If there were time for closer inspection, minute markings would be identified. A Banal Stave; used in ancient Greece for keeping powerful beings of mixed blood in line. Intended for your average demi-god, but a mixture of Aesir and Jotun would probably fare just as poorly against it.

Though she was not as predisposed to physical combat as, say, her siblings, Asleif was more than confident in her ability to deal with anything that a mortal could dish out. She barely even bothered to raise a hand to block...

And that was her mistake. Arrogance, as always, was her error.

The blow knocked her back, and out of her air-walking, sending her crashing to the waves below.

In point of truth, it was worse than that. If things had been otherwise, she would have been fine. But Asgardians were far more dense than mortals... and worse... she did not know how to swim.

Panic overtook her, preventing her from casting a lifesaving spell...
