Fresh air and sunshine (Open)
It was strange that when Svalin first came to Migard she didn't want to be here or stay, but the place had grown on her and now she enjoyed it. She missed it and the people when she was in Asgard. It was good to be home and back into what was now considered normal life.

The sun was just coming up in the east and Svalin was already up and outside. She had seen to Tryggvi and Snowflake and decided to get a few hours of practice in before the other residents of the compound woke. Vigfrior wasn't in her hand, but instead it was at her waist. She had her Bat'leth in her hands and worked through her forms.

	He hits the ground behind her hard, leaving a shallow Halbjorn-shaped impression in the ground and cracking a couple of rocks with his skull. He rolls over, pushing back up to his feet with a grin. "A fine counter!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, I wilt need be more wary. That worked the last few times we fought." he replies, before moving straight from complimentary talking to a lunging attack, making good use of his reach advantage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, which ist why I wast expecting it," she said as she side-stepped the lunge. She brought the backside of the bat'leth down aiming for the back of his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He finally avoids one, smacking the bat'leth's flat with his hand to knock it off course, just scraping his shoulder instead, as he swings his sword for her leg, not using the flat this time. Unable to really turn into the swing, it might not be his most powerful blow, but he's strong enough to still put some force behind it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The force drove the blade into flesh and Svalin grimaced as the pain registered. It was deep enough to cause blood to flow freely. She hopped out of the way, keeping most of her weight off her injured leg.

She shifted one hand down as far as she could on the bat'leth and swung it toward him. There wouldn't be much force behind the attack, but her reach was greater.

He's turning right into the swing, too, helping drive it an inch deep in his midsection. Indeed, when he realizes, he pushes more at it, lunging onto the blade to try and keep her from parrying when he swings a fist, reinforced by the handle of the sword, for her face.

Few others actively try and use their guts to trap an opponent's weapon, but this, too, is vintage bear-sark.

	Fist meet nose. Nose meet fist. There was a loud crack as his fist broke her nose. Blood gushed out of it. Svalin sucked in a mouthful of blood and promptly spit it back out, aiming for his face. With the distraction of blood in his face and eyes she followed with a swing of the bat'leth bringing the unsharpened side down on his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The metal dents against his skull, vibrating in her hand as he takes a step back. He opens his eyes, feeling the sting as he sees red. A low growl builds in his throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin took a step back and lowered her bat'leth. The growl was a warning that her brother's mental state was deteriorating. "Mayhap we shouldst stop, brother," she said calmly and without fear. Her hands gripped the bat'leth and her muscles in her arms tightened ready to move quickly if he attacked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blows to the head and blood, especially the mix of the scent of his own, and someone else's, can do that. But its early yet, and he snaps back to his senses. "Aye, a good fight. Methinks thou couldst take many foes with thine bat'leth." he replies, lowering his sword and carefully forcing himself out of a combat stance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-10-27 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Aye it wast a good fight." She placed her bat'leth on the ground and hobbled over to him. She put her hands on his shoulders. He was more injured than she was and she couldn't heal herself. But he could help her back to the main building to get patched up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully, most of his wounds are shallow, there's just a fair number of them. He sheathes the blade and picks her up when she puts her hands on his shoulders, starting back towards the house. Thankfully, both of them heal fast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I canst walk," she insisted as he started toward the main building. "I doth not need to be carried." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, then just helps support her as they walk back towards the complex, bleeding as they go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth believe mine wife ist going to be most vexed about our conditions," she said with a bit of a chuckle. "It wast a good sparring match. Well worth the injuries." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They wilt be gone in but a day or two. Easily worth it." he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. We must do this again anon." If felt good to fight again. She still wanted to go hunt a dragon. Maybe the next time they were in Asgard again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She may not. It doth depend on how vexed she wilt be. We may have to wait more than a few days. I doth not want to worry her or face Tiny Human Rage."

Despite being married for nine months, Svalin was still getting used to answering to someone else other than whomever sat on the throne of Asgard. There was always a period of adjustment for things and this was no different.

	While there is not yet Tiny Human Rage as they come in, there is Tiny Human Consternation. "WhatwhatWHAT? Bleeding? What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If tis so, then better to hath a happy wife and home. Fear thee not, I wilt be waiting for the rematch whene'er tis permitted." he begins, before hearing Vernique. "Merely a bit of sparring. She wilt be sore tonight, but mended by the morrow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wast just a bit of sparring. Our injuries art not serious." This was coming from the woman who had blood trickling out of her nose and a sliced up thigh. Thankfully Hal's stomach wound had been healed. There would have been Tiny Human Rage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
