Shopping
It was a perfect autumn day in Los Angeles and perfect for shopping, at least according to her wife. Vernique didn't miss the fact that Brandr had all Asgardian clothes, what little of those he had, and no Migard clothes. There was a statement that bodyguarding couldn't be done if one stood out. So shopping it was.

Svalin was on Solver duty for shopping. She knew next to nothing about Migard fashion or clothes in general and someone had to keep Solver from flying around the stores. Vernique was the expert shopper in the family and Svalin was more than happy to let her take point and say where they went and what they bought.

With toddler in arms and distracted by animal crackers, Svalin followed her wife and Brandr.

	Svalin blushed a little more and then headed into the changing room. She was more than happy to change into pants again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chuckling, he gives Solver the 'thumb up' gesture he'd been told was one of approval. "Aye, ye all match and art...stylin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin emerged from the dressing room and handed her wife the dress and took Solver from her. She kissed a chubby cheek and settled him on a hip. "What store is next?" They had only been shopping an hour. They weren't close to being done since Brandr only had few articles and not nearly enough (in her wife's opinion). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...There art more stores we shall visit?" Were they not done already? They'd already found enough clothes in his opinion. But clearly this opinion was not shared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The list's only half done, Brandr." Vernique is much more herself than she has been in many previous days. So to Brandr, who met her when melancholy, she might seem manic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. We have many more hours," Svalin said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-18 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Many more hours? Well this was an ordeal one warrior here had never encountered. "...I see. Ist there anything I can help with milady?" To give him something to occupy himself with at the very least and, hopefully, speed things along a bit. Though this slightly manic Lady Vernique was something he'd need to get used to.

	"If you could hold some of the bags, that'd be great. I realize you're security and have to keep one hand free and all, though." And off they go to the next store. A bunch of things for Solver. Some new gloves for herself, and "Brandr, Brandr, try on this shirt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin kept Solver occupied. The story now was about one of the battles of Asgard. Svalin was currently telling him about when she leaped from the wall and killed a Frost Giant by driving her sword into the top of his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dutifully, Brandr carries all the bags in his left hand and is perfectly okay with playing the pack mule for this outing.

Apparently experience in training Asgardians for shopping pays off, it helps that he's good at following orders too, so Brandr just puts on a smile and says, "Of course milady." He's getting very good at that. After trying on the shirt, he emerges from the change room and tries not to look too uncomfortable with this new clothing style.

	"I must tell it accurately," Svalin said. "Or there ist no reason to tell it." Svalin looked at Brandr. "Nay. It doth fit well and it ist a good color. He ist ver' good looking in it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-19 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Brandr smiles lightly and gives a small bow. "If the lady says it doth work, then it ist not mine to disagree." No stories with brains? Well that reduced any he could tell... If she objected to stories with severed limbs then he'd have a big problem in the battle story department. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thy mother doth seem to want to maketh story time much less interesting," Svalin said to Solver. "I doth suppose I couldst tell thee about Disneyland since that didst not involve blood letting or spilling of vital organs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-19 12:27 am UTC (link)
	After changing back, Brandr returns the shirt to Vernique and has to ask, "If not tales of battle, which would ye prefer milady?" Even his childhood adventures would probably need to be censored if bloodshed and battle were nos. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What ist Pokey Little Puppy?" Svalin asked. There were still things about Migard that were really weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-19 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	If Svalin was confused, then Brandr was even more so. "Aye. What ist?" Puppy? Was this some story about one that grew to be a giant wolf that could be trained to fight in battle alongside its master? If not then it certainly didn't sound too interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
