Nightly Routine (open)
Things had settled down since their return to Migard and Svalin was more at ease with Brandr around. Between the two of them Vernique and Solver were protected and things between Svalin and her wife were better. The tension was gone and the both of them were better for it.

Svalin had settled into a nightly routine after her wife and son were sleeping. With Brandr there, Svalin could spend most of the night in the training room. Each night she tried a new scenario and it always involved a dragon. The upcoming solstice weighed on her mind and even though she knew she would die, she would fight her hardest before she died. She was slowly going through any dragon she could find, real or in myth and legend.

When she was finished in the training room she would head down to the beach and go for a swim. The water invigorated her and was soothing on her tired and sore muscles.

Tonight was no different from the others. She had just finished battling Smaug from the Hobbit book and had taken a beating. She was tired, sweaty and sore. A swim in the ocean would be wonderful. Tomorrow night she planned on battling a balrog.

She stripped off her clothes and dived into the water.

	Unfortunately Kael had similar ideas. He'd been doing some thinking, as well as being somewhat giddy at his impending dinner with Asleif, that he hadn't been paying attention. No sooner was he in there that he had quickly stripped naked as well. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin had been a way out and came back toward shore when she noticed she wasn't alone. Nudity, for herself or others, didn't bother Svalin and she walked out of the water onto the shore. "Well met, Kael," she said softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael nearly choked upon hearing Svalin's voice, and made the mistake of tuning around. And for a little longer than appropriate he takes in full, glorious nudity before finally tearing himself away to jump in the water. Partly to hide himself, the other to do SOMETHING about his embarassment. "Sv..Svalin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art sorry if I startled thee," she said and watched him with some curiosity. "Art thou okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, yes, quite all right," he blatantly lied. He pointedly looks at the water though nothing is going to get that image out of his head. "I didn't know you were in here. I apologize." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou doth not seem fine," Svalin said. Then it dawned on her that maybe her nudity was bothering him. She picked up her underclothes and started putting them on. "It ist quite okay. I was just going for a swim after mine workout." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I had..a similar notion." Think of something else damn it! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist a nice eve for a swim," she said as she slipped on her underclothes. "I oft come down here after a workout. I art sorry mine nudity didst bother thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif, in general, disliked the beach (she'd have blotted out the accursed sun if she could figure out how), but she did enjoy the cliff. Which was where she ran into Svalin. "It looks as though thou hast been enjoying thyself, sister." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Well met, sister. It ist a nice eve for a swim after a workout. How fares thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-10-28 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well enough," she replied. She looked skyward for a moment. "A Waxing Gibbous moon," she said, after a moment. "Interesting portents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth hear thou hast a date with Kael," Svalin said. Yes, there was a bit of a smirk on her face. "I wast a little surprised." Then she heard what her sister said. "What portents?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-10-28 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Aleif allowed a small smile. "Good then. I wouldst not wish to become entirely predictable." This followed into a frown. "I know not for certain... but something doth feel... out of sorts. As though a great evil is slowly spreading its fingers into this realm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-28 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Thou wilt ne'er be predictable," she assured her sister. Svalin mirrored Asleif's frown. "We wilt remain vigilant and face it when it doth show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-10-28 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I shalt have to see what else can be seen, when I hath the time," Asleif agreed. "But I hath little doubt, whatever comes, we shalt face it as we always hath." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-28 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin said confidently. A smile stretched her mouth. "Thou shouldst bed Kael. He ist quite handsome nude as thou canst see for thineself down at the beach. He ist currently swimming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-28 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Brandr," she said returning the smile. Not at all phased that she was in just her underclothes. "Well met. How fares thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well milady," he says with a slight bow of his head. "It ist quite a nice night out. The view from here ist one to be appreciated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-28 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"It its a wonderful night," Svalin said. "I wast just returning from a swim after mine workout." Heat touched her cheeks at the compliment. Thankfully it was mostly dark and he wouldn't be able to see it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And what didst thee battle today? Thine training grounds here art most impressive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I battled a dragon called Smaug," Svalin said. Her cheeks were cooling off. "It ist a dragon from some Migard literature." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-28 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I wilt have to try it for mineself one day," he smiles then removes his cloak and offers it to her. "If ye wert cold milady." Though he does take a moment to smile and appreciate the view once more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-28 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Thou'rt welcome to join me each eve," she said as she turned so he could settle the cloak on her shoulders. Even though she wasn't cold. "Thank thee. Thou'rt most kind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
