About a Boy
The recent trip to New York had been fun, but it meant time away from chores and practice. She missed her nightly sparring session with Brandr. Not only because he helped her improve her skills, but because she missed him too. The man had caused her a lot of confusion lately and had spent a lot of time in her head.

She was lost in thought as she groomed Tryggvi.

	"So," said her wife, flitting up from behind her. "Now's as good a 'soon' as any." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin actually startled a little, which was rare for her and an Asgardian. "Pardon?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin tilted her head and paused grooming Tryggvi. "What didst Brandr do?" she asked. "I wast not aware that he didst something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou wanted to talk because I gave him a ten?" Svalin asked. A pause. "How wast he an idiot about Rory?" Svalin was getting a little more confused about this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He ist...hath he told thee that he ist interested in me?" He had never shown interest in her outside of their sparring matches. Or had he? Svalin would be the first to admit that she wasn't good at dealing with people outside of battle and the practice yard. Aridis was the one who could talk to people and knew what they wanted.

	"Not explicitly. He's worried about duty conflicts. And that's fine. If you two decide you can't date because of duty conflicts, don't. If you decide you want to, and obviously there's no rules against it, do. I just want to sort of establish that this sort of thing is allowed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Okay, it's not really my strongest suit either when it comes to someting that could become a serious relationship. But you two need to hash out whehter you're for something.

	Right now Svalin would rather fight a dragon than talk to Brandr about this. She wasn't good at /talking/ to people. "Mayhap," she said. "I doth not know how to broach the subject." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin sighed. "I wilt talk to him." Svalin knew better than to argue with her wife. Her wife would always win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin pondered different ways of approaching the subject with Brandr, but in the end she couldn't come up with anything outside of telling him that her wife thought they should talk. It was direct and do the point. Just what Svalin liked. She went to find Brandr. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Whenever he wasn't around Lady Vernique or Solver, Brandr could usually be found in the training room. The thing fascinated him and gave him the opportunity to fight whatever he wished.

She arrives just as he's finished a fight with a hoarde of orcs and he turns with an grin that's clear he's still riding on the high from the battle. "Lady Svalin! Well met," he bows, still smiling.

	"Excellent milady. Did ye wish to join?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-11-26 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, but mine wife doth think we shouldst talk." It felt like her stomach did a flip. Why was she so nervous? Probably because this was more difficult than fighting a dragon. At least to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-26 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye?" His smile shrinks a little, wondering what Lady Vernique had told her to talk about. He turns briefly to retrieve a long knife he'd used in the battle. "And what doth she think we shouldst speak of?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-11-26 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	"She doth think we shouldst talk about any feelings we hold for each other," Svlain said. Her voice was a bit shaky. This really wasn't easy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was a good thing he was turned away because it gave him a chance to collect his thoughts. This was new territory for him too,no relationships of any sort while he was on duty was his norm. Off duty was fine, but on duty and with a lady you were supposed to be serving? Entirely unfamiliar territory. "Mayhap," he nods but doesn't know how to start talking about this sort of thing.

	Svalin took a deep breath. "I find mineself liking thee more than a friend and a fellow brother-in-arms. I hath not felt anything for a man since Solver's father and didst not think I e'er wouldst again. I wouldst understand if thou doth not hold any feelings for me outside of friendship and thine duties." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was a little surprising to hear it out loud and put so certainly, but a small amused smile creeps onto his face at the last bit. "Lady Svalin, it wouldst be difficult for me to see a woman such as thineself as only a good friend." He then stops abruptly and bows. "I assure you milady that this has not, and shalt not, affect mine duties to thee or Lady Vernique and the young lord."

	"I wouldst not expect less," she said about the last bit. Svalin smiled. "I art not sure what doth cometh next, but mayhap one eve we couldst go out to dinner?" Svalin wasn't quite she understood dating. There hadn't been any time with Jon and her wife didn't do traditional dating, to hear her tell it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-26 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	His duties usually hadn't allowed for dating of any sort, and his father wasn't the best example of it either. A new experience it'd be then. "It would be my pleasure milady," he says with a smile and a kiss of her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-11-26 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Heat touched her cheeks when he kissed her hand. She smiled. "The pleasure ist mine, Brandr." In a bold, for her, move she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "I doth look forward to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-26 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	"As do I," he smiles back at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
