A Not So Quiet Day
It was a rare occasion when most of the Defenders were out of the compound and elsewhere. Today that happened as most were out shopping or doing other errands. Christmas and Yule were coming and some still had gifts left to purchase/make. Svalin had been done for days since she knew she wouldn't be here. She was taking advantage of the quiet to get some chores done. There were stalls to clean out, horses to groom, saddles to oil, weapons to sharpen and other chores.

Right now she was grooming Snowflake outside while he grazed.

	"Very well..." Kael takes the tea, sipping at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin sat down across from him and sipped her tea. She didn't talk, but would wait for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After a minute of sitting and drinking, he finally speaks. "The dark doesn't bother you, does it?" Yeah, avoiding the subject always helps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay. The dark ne'er didst bother me. It maketh fighting more difficult, but I ne'er wast afraid of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dak elve aren't supposed to fear it either. Fighting in the dark is something we're taught from the moment we can hold a blade." He takes a bigger gulp from the gulp. "Then one day when I am twelve years old, I wake up just in time to see an outline in the dark. The blade's quick, I barely feel anything..of course that was before I felt the blood pouring out," Kael said, his mind clearly back at that day, a hand once more reaching for his neck.

	"I art sorry," she said. She grew up in a place where the threats came from outside, not inside. She never had to worry about someone inside of Asgard trying to kill her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing for you to be sorry about." He takes another drink. "I nearly died that night. The healer said the only thing that kept me alive long enough for treatment was my father's divine blood. ..at the time I wasn't sure if I was grateful because it saved me, or angry that I would still live amongst a den of vipers."

	"I art sorry that thou hadst to grow up in an environment where thou needest to be concerned for thine safety and hadst that happen to you. I cannot fathom growing up as such." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael seemed to come out of his recollections a bit. "Thank you..but I've come to accept it..or at least I thought I had." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She reached across the table and put a hand on his. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "We art here to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was not going to let him go without asking what he was going to say. "What wert thou going to day?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael closed his eyes, taking a strained deep breath. "What if Lady Sydney had been here? Or Marlow or Vernique? Or..Solver? They came for me..if..." Kael tries to get up again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The outcome wouldst hath been the same," she said. "We wouldst hath fought them and sent them running. Those here wouldst hath sought safety or helped fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is not Ragnarok! Events are not guaranteed here!" Kael did get up now. "Sorry..I just need to be left alone." He turned and left the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin made no move to follow. She would let him be for now. (Reply to this)(Parent)
