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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	Brandr looks at Vernique expectantly. As if the rest of that sentence should be 'and then he ran into a troll'. Granted, he was thinking of 'puppies' in terms of certain denizens of the Enchanted Forest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, he's not killed! He at first avoids the consequences of his actions, but ends up having to go to bed without any food! It's a story for human babies! Which Solver sometimes qualifies as, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin almost asked what was so terrible about going to bed without dinner and how that was a serious consequence, but wisely did not. She could tell her wife was getting vexed and it was best not to push Tiny Human or there would be Tiny Human Rage.

She just shrugged. "If thou think this ist appropriate for his age, then we wilt read him such stories." Left unsaid was 'full of such nonsense'.

	Brandr has to restrain himself from asking if going to bed without food was all. Because that was hardly a punishment. Thankfully he manages. "Aye," he nods. Mostly to the unsaid bit though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique smiles a little as she sighs, knowing they're biting their tongues and appreciating it. She'll let them focus on watching Solver for a bit while she went to grab a new nightgown. She wasn't going to try that on in front of company. Especially company with whom Svalin's attitude was such that they'd need to talk in private later.

But for some reason, there is a dude in the lady's nightwear section of the store. A dude who approaches Vernique. An exchange is had, and as the dude finally turns away.... Vernique will start laughing. And laughing. And laughing.

	Svalin held Solver and was singing him a song her mother had sang to her when she watched the exchange. Then bewilderment at her wife's laughing. It had to be a Migard thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr in the meantime has found an umbrella rack and is disappointed that they were not weapons. He spins one casually then stops when he hears that much laughter and stares. "Ist Lady Vernique alright...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-19 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. Though I doth not know what ist so amusing about nightclothes." She would have to ask her wife about it later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-10-19 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	She won't haveto wait long. As Vernique adds the acquisition to the to-be-purchased pile, she's still giggling. "He was ... and I shot him down... so he called me a.... it was hilarious." Okay, not superclear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-19 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Brandr just looks a tad confused. "I hope he did not insult ye milady?" Because while that did not warrant a sword, at least he could test what this umbrella could be used for. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-19 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"What didst he call you?" Svalin asked. She wasn't too concerned. Her wife was laughing, which was a good thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
