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.

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"Then I shalt. Seems like quite the battle is to be had." He places the cloak over he shoulders and adjusts the fur parts as needed. "Nay, mine father simply taught me to be courteous to a lady. Though certain ones deserve the extra effort." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin bowed her head and blushed more. It felt like her cheeks reignited and were on fire. She couldn't speak for a few moments. "I battle a different dragon each eve," she said when she regained her voice. "Tomorrow I plan to battle a balrog. After mine workouts I go for a swim in the ocean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldst enjoy thine company for both," she said. Heat still burned his cheeks. Especially after envisioning him swimming. Asgardians didn't do bathing suits or swimwear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In fact, he hadn't even heard of the existence of swimsuits yet. There would be no reason to even consider wearing one. "Then I shalt. Tomorrow mayhap thee shalt show me what this Balrog ist," he smiles over at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I canst show thee," Svalin said with some excitement. "It ist from a Migard movie. If thou wouldst like, we can go back and watch them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-29 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, I wouldst like that very much," he grins back. This sounded like quite the movie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art three," she explained. "They art long, but very good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap we shouldst try these battles in that training room," he grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A broad smile appeared on Svalin's face. "Aye. That wouldst be most enjoyable." "Shall we?" she asked and motioned toward the bungalow that Svalin shared with Vernique. Svalin had copies of the movies there and it would allow them to stay in close proximity to Vernique and Solver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-29 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," he smiled and followed her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-29 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	They headed up to the bungalow. Svalin threw on what Vernique called sweat pants and a tee shirt and joined Brandr on the couch. "This ist the first one," she said as she started the movie. "It doth not have the battle scenes like the other two, but it ist a good movie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Brandr settled on the couch and occupied himself with examining the remote while he waited. "It ist nice to see they have these movies as a way to watch great battles on Midgard. E'en if the people here seem to walk about unarmed. What ist this for?" He indicates the remote he's holding and trying to figure out what it was for. It was just a block of some sort really, with odd designs on top.

	"It ist called a remote," Svalin said. "It controls the television and the movie player." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By magic?" He tries randomly pushing some buttons to try and get some response. "And ist this balrog in all the movies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-29 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Electronics," Svalin said. "The television and remote work on electricity. In this movie and the second." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
