Vernique had had flying time with Solver and was now trying to get him to settle down in the afternoon sun. Sometimes she thought things would be easier if she kept him inside more, but most days she willing to get a little exhausted.

She spotted her brother-in-law. "Hal!"

"She ist in a difficult position. You see her family's devotion... but her position ist much debated in Asgard. Many doth not wish to follow a female warrior as the heir, and others wouldst test her constantly, regardless of her gender. If she shows sign of weakness, the ambitious and the doubters wilt try to topple her and let someone else take her place. For all its wonders... Asgard ist a warrior society, and strength hast a greater value there than gold."

	She listens. Oh brother, the whole place-for-everything hierarchy schtick didn't even get Svalin out of the dog-eat-dog garbage? Stupid Golden Realm. "Ah," she said quietly. "Damn it, I wish I knew how to be more helpful, Hal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Good, because only thou'rt in a position to help her. She wouldst listen to none else the same way. Thou needst to tell her, as her wife, that she needeth to get out of thine home and find her solution. Thou wilt help her, but the answer wilt not be found within walls. Be it magic, technology, or aught else... thou needst to remind her that she ist not yet ready to retire and must be on with it, in as direct of terms as possible. I know tis not thy way... but tis what she needeth to hear and who she must needs hear it from. Only thee can kick her out of her moping quarters."

	She listens. "I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that that's the most ridiculous way of being supportive ever, but okay. If that's what she needs, I'll give it a try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She ist Asgardian. If given quiet solace, she wilt accept it, and respond with quiet in turn. Given a challenge... she hast trained her life entire to rise to it. But she needeth step out of her quarters first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods. "Okay. I'll get on it. I appreciate the frankness, Hal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hath ne'er been aught but honest with thee, fair one." Except for the stories at the wedding - but there he was supposed to exaggerate, of course. "Besides, methinks hadst thou wished quiet comforts and support, thou wouldst hath found Aridis or Lady Sydney." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique smiles. "Always good talking to you, too, Hal. And you're right." And she'll bundle up Solver's things and inside it is. (Reply to this)(Parent)
