Taking a Stand
The world of mortals was still alien to Kael. He wondered just how much longer he would have to stay here. Had his mother found any clue as to those who had created the shadow army that attacked Asgard? If not, then how long would it take? It wasn't as if it was all bad here. The Defenders were good people. Svalin was at least being more tolerant of him. Haljborn tended to be at least partially hostile most of the time. Vernique,, He turns slightly to the small woman holding her Asgardian son. He was fond of the woman. But still.. what was he doing here?

	"Nnngh," Svalin groaned as she struggled to open her eyes. The sedatives Dr. Demasi had given her had lost the battle against Asgardian physiology. For a second she wondered what happen and then it all came rushing back. The fight. The woman touching her hand and eventually Hal taking off her arm. Then the blackness. "Ugh," she groaned again as she struggled to sit up. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yes?" Svalin said as she used her left arm to push herself up. "How fares mine brother?" she asked. She looked around and realized she was in the medical bay and she wasn't the only one in a bed. "Who else received injuries?" she asked. "Wert others attacked?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think Hal's pretty okay, all things considered. I was out shopping with Kael and Solver when we got jumped. Solver and I are fine, Kael held them off , but he hasn't broken up yet." Vernique looked worried. A pause, and she adds. "And hon, you're twice as good with your off hand as most people are with their better hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin frowned. She didn't like to hear her wife and son were attacked, but Svalin could see for herself that they were fine. It brought thoughts to her mind, but she pushed them back. She could ponder them at a later time, but right now there was something she could do for the man who saved her wife and son.

"Mayhap," was all she said. She smiled and touched Solver's cheek for a moment. They were safe she told herself. They were safe because of someone else. Later she could think about how she failed them, but right now she had something to do.

She ripped the mask off her face and pulled on the IV lines. With them out Dr. Demasi couldn't put her back to sleep. Svalin slid off the bed and walked over to the bed where Kael lay and put her hand on him.

She just hoped this would work.

	What was once just a dark haze around his consciousness, began to disperse. His eyes began to open, but just to slits. "Wha..? Lady Svalin?" he asked, the words strained as they left his lips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin said with a smile. "Thou'rt in the medical bay and art safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique kisses Svalin on the cheek. "You're the best, hon. Kael, you okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-02-28 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Better, thank you." He smiles lightly at Vernique. "I see you made it unharmed. ...good." His winces a little when he sees Svalin's arm. "Just what has been happening?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank thee, Prince of Svartalfheim, for protecting mine wife and son," Svalin said with a formal bow. "I art indebted to thee." She shook her head. "It ist unknown who hath attacked, but it doth seem we have a new enemy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was protecting a comrade and an innocent babe, but you are welcome, Lady." He coughs a bit before continuing. "They were mortals?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I'll be better prepared next time." He nods at Vernique's statement. "Your wife makes an excellent point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap," Svalin said with a small smile. "I must check on the others." A life of training to command had ingrained the need to see to the others into Svalin's bones. She felt responsible for all of them, not just the ones she was related to by blood and marriage. "Rest well, mine friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-02-28 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, hon, but then you get some rest. Solver needs Mommyone in good condition, you know." Vernique takes one of Kael's hands and squeezes. "Thanks, pal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-02-28 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I will. Thank you, Lady Svalin." He squeezes her hand back, smiling. "What is it humans say? It was nothing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough." He coughs again, but manages a smile. "You are very welcome, Vernique. Solver was undisturbed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
