Wish I Could Be There to Share the Moon (open)
The new Asgardian God of the Sun was also a night-owl. Solver didn't like sleeping much, which didn't come as much of a surprise to Svalin. He was half Asgardian and as a race they didn't require much sleep and she believed Jon's people also didn't need much sleep. Svalin could go about a week of not sleeping before she had to have some. It seemed like her son was trying to match her at his young age. He napped a little during the day and slept just a little more at night. He kept his two mothers quite busy.

Vernique couldn't pull twenty-four hour days so while she slept at night, Svalin took over Solver duties. Most nights they walked around the compound enjoying the night air and the stars. Tonight was a little on the cool side, which meant a little more comfortable for the Asgardians, and the moon was almost full giving off plenty of light to see. A very large tiger silently followed them as they walked.

Solver rested against her chest sucking a thumb. Every so often Svalin would drop a kiss on soft, dark hair and smile.

It was a perfect night save for Jon not being there. Svalin wasn't moping or brooding, but she did think about him quite often. Mostly when she looked at their son. Even at this young age Svalin could see Jon's features in him. The child would never know his father and Jon would never know his son. Jon didn't even know he had a son. It had been a cruel twist of Fate.

Solver stirred a bit and Svalin patted his back a little.

	Iona hadn't been able to sleep either. A song had been plaguing her for days. Quietly, she wandered the grounds, humming under her breath, every once and awhile stopping to jot down a word, a phrase. Svalin was almost upon her before she even realized it and she quickly stood from the rail she'd been leaning agianst. "My lady....my prince...is all well this eve?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Well met, Iona," Svalin said with a smile. "Aye. He ist well, thank thee. Sleep doth not agree with him it doth seem. How fares thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am vexed..." But she smiled all the same, gently stroking the back of the baby's head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-09 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"What vexes thee?" Svalin asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-09 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Only a song. It stays just out of my reach. It is most...vexing." but she smiled despite herself. "But hardly worrisome. Is there aught I can do to ease thee or the princeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art sure thou wilst find it," Svalin said. "Nay, he ist fine. He doth not sleep much. I wilt be fine. How art thee finding Migard?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-09 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"'tis different...The people, the clothing...even the food. But I find it pleasing. Espicially television. The movies art most wonderful...I couldn't imagine some of the tales in my widlest dreams, there is a wonderful one about a great ship, a damsel and a young ruffian named Jack...It doth not end well for the boy, but the maiden's tale is most thrilling."

	Svalin smiled. "Movies art rather interesting. I favor the ones with fighting and battles." "Have you tried chocolate yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-10 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes my lady...hot chocolate, with a white cream, it was a truely godly expierance!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-10 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye it ist most wonderful," Svalin said with a smile. "Chocolate doth come in so many different ways. Hath thou found anything else thee particularly found wonderful?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-12 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Everything thus far suits me...'tis a wonderful place..with many wonderful things to expierance. I'm exceedingly greatful for the oppertunity.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "That ist good. There ist so much here it canst be o'erwhelming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-13 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"In a very good way. I hope we may be here for a long time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap, we wilt see what doth happen. We hath been called back to Asgard a few times already." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-13 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	She dug her toe into the ground, trying to push back the petulance knowing it to be childish and useless. "Aye...has anything been discovered yet about the fiend's that attacked our Elvin Prince?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-14 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin shook her head. "There hath been no word from Asgard regarding the attack on the prince. I doubt we wilt hear anything soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 01:26 am UTC (link)
	She nodded a little, reaching out to tickle the baby's foot. "Your brother..you're very close to him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. "More so than mine own twin." Solver started to fuss and Svalin bounced him in her arms a bit. She had much practice with babies when her younger siblings were born. Skari had been a handful. "If thou'rt referring to Halbjorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 03:38 am UTC (link)
	She turned rosey at that. "Aye...Halbjorn..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Svalin tilted her head. "Thou doth fancy him?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"He is most pleasing, I can say with all honesty...in deed and look. And my lord is most...flattering..though I think mayhaps he is so with all laides.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"It is no secret that mine brother doth enjoy the company of women," Svalin said. "But I doth not have much experience in the matter of having an interest in men. Mayhap thou shouldst talk to mine wife?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't wish to be a nuisance..nor would I ever dare to make a...a presumption, about the Prince of Asgard.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Mine brother wouldst welcome thine affections," Svalin assured her. Svalin's voice took on a bit of a distant feel to it as it always did when she talked about men and relationships. It was easier to distance herself from the subject. "What about the man thou'rt pledged to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Her smile immediately faded. "...'tis not of my choosing....and we are most ill suited, though my mother doth dote on him like he is the beloved son and I the new commer to the family..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"Mayhap thou canst bring thine case to the Lady Frigga and petition her to not bless the union," Svalin suggested. No one in Asgard married without the blessing of the Goddess of Marriage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-19 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"I've thought of it...I've thought of every possible out, I must confess..I thought of pleging my virginity to the goddess Gefjon but I cannot imagine living in such a state for eternity....and 'twould break my mother's heart to break the match.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thou must do what maketh thou happy and not others," Svalin said. "Thou cannot be unhappy to make others happy. Thine mother may be unhappy with breaking the match, but she doth love thee and happiness for their children ist what all mothers want."

Svalin didn't think of her own situation and what she had to sacrifice. Responsibility and duty were heavy burdens to bear. Thankfully she had broad shoulders and the love and support of her family and wife.

	"Thou art most wise...and very blessed..." She reached out to gently touch the baby's hand before stepping away. "'tis a long way off...longer if I drag my heels. Mayphas an affection can be formed..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-19 05:12 am UTC (link)
	"Mayhap, but it wouldst best be honest with him and tell him how thou doth feel about the match. Mayhap he doth feel the same. I wouldst not like to be mislead about intentions." Solver was picking up on his mother's discomfort talking about the subject and start to fuss more. "It ist not easy, but it ist better to be honest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-20 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Wisdom to be sure...But I fear I don't possess the courage...yet." She smiled at that. "I was thinking of going to a place when the sun rises, 'tis called "A Mall"...I understand it is filled with wonderful food and all manner of shops, perhaps thee and they wife would care to join me, should you desire? and thy sister, of course.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-20 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"I thank thee for the offer, but shopping ist not something that I care to do. Mine wife ist most fond of shopping and canst show thee around," Svalin suggested. "Aridis and Lady Sydney art most fond of it as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wonderful! I doth hope to make many new friends here, I shall ask the ladies in the morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-20 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"Thou wilt make many friends," Svalin assured her. "Thou wilt have fun shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is there anyway I might be of service? Does thou, or the young prince require anything? I saw commercials for a wonderful place, Babies-R-Us.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-11-21 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I doth not require anything and as for Solver, mine wife wouldst know what he needs." Svalin smiled. "Thank thee for asking." (Reply to this)(Parent)
