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 had some of his mead while he waited. Yes, it was certainly Asgardian mead. Nice thing to have so far from home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Doth thou miss Asgard?" she asked as she pulled a bag of microwave popcorn out of a cupboard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some days, aye. But I art used to being away for duty, though this is farther than before. It ist not something I think about much. The experience here hath been an enjoyable one so far," he smiles at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin automatically returned the smile and nodded. "Aye. I didst miss it greatly when we first came here. I still miss Asgard, but not as much as I used to. Migard ist...unique." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," he chuckles. "It ist unique. I still art not used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth not think one e'er gets used to it," she said as she pressed the correct button on the microwave. Thankfully there was a Popcorn button. Otherwise the bungalow would smell like burnt popcorn in no time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He watches the microwave curiously, things were so odd here. "What hath been the best part of Midgard for thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldst say the technology," she said. "Otherwise I wouldst not be able to fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's the briefest glance at her hand as he replies. "Aye, ist most impressive they art able to do so. And most fortunate, thou art too impressive a warrior to lose needlessly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin blushed at the compliment. "Thank thee," she said as she bowed her head to keep him from seeing her red cheeks. The microwave dinged and she removed the bag. She dumped it in a bowl and returned to the couch. "Try this." She held the bowl out to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr reaches out to take some popcorn, examining it for a moment first before popping some in his mouth. "Mmm, yet another midgard delicacy it seems. Ist it usual to put the liquid chocolate on top of it?" That still seemed odd to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Nay. I hath ne'er seen it with chocolate on it. Strawberries with chocolate on them art most wonderful though." Svalin grabbed a handful of popcorn and tossed it in her mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh? It sounds interesting. Mayhap I shalt have to try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Aye. They art most delicious. Mayhap if we go to the mall again. There ist a store called Godiva there that hast amazing chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That you, hon. I smell popcorn." Vernique came in sleepily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin turned to see her wife coming from her room. "Aye. Brandr and I art watching a movie. I apologize if we woke you. We wilt talk more quietly and turn the television down." With Asgardian senses they didn't need the volume to be high. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-10-30 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	She looks at Svalin. Looks at Brandr. Reflects on lots of little indications over the weeks. "Oh, it's no problem. But you know... I think i'll go back to bed." And she smiles at Svalin. Didn't even have to break a heel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-30 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	When Vernique enters, Brandr stands to give her a short bow, which of course means he doesn't see the smile. "Apologies for waking you milady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin knew that smile on her wife's face and shook her head. She suspected she would have to go through A Talk later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-10-30 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Absolutely no problem at all, Brandr. you two enjoy your film." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-30 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	He nods and stands upright again. "We wilt stay quiet milady," he assures her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, we wilt be quiet," Svalin said. She grabbed the remote and turned down the volume so it could barely be heard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-10-30 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay! good night!" Vernique says very, very cheerfully and heads to bed smugly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-30 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin sighed. She knew there was going to be /meddling/ after this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-30 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Brandr doesn't know Vernique that well yet, he suspects there's more to this awfully cheerful demeanor but can't say what just yet. "Lady Vernique ist...in a good mood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
