Date Night
There were a lot of things on Migard one could indulge in, but Svalin only had two. The first was chocolate. She couldn't get enough of it and loved it in any form. The other was a shower. Svalin loved showers. She took one every day, not because training and working with the horses worked up a sweat and usually left her quite fragrant, but because she loved the feel of hot water falling down on her.

Svalin stepped out of the shower and quickly toweled herself off. She wrapped the large turkish bath towel around herself and stepped out into her bedroom. Now to find something to wear. What did one wear on a date?

	Once the order was placed, Brandr couldn't help but laugh. "Milady, thine ideas art as brilliant as ever." He'd admit to being curious about midgard portions though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin blushed. "Thou'rt quick with flattery. I thought I wouldst giveth us a selection to try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A lady such as thineself needs no flattery," he smiled. "Midgard food ist still new to me. What doth thou prefer of it?" Pause. "Other than the chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"But thou doth giveth it anyway," Svalin said. "Not that I doth mind."

Svalin thought about that question. There were so many different kinds of food on Migard, much more than what was available in Asgard, and it was hard to pick favorites.

"Whilst chocolate ist mine favorite, I doth like the many different ways they prepare meat. There art many more ways than what we art used to."

	"What is often said of these things...ah, 'it ist in the eye of the beholder' I believe?" "I hath heard much of the chocolate before arriving here. Young Hjordis speaks most highly of it. But mayhap I shalt have to try this variety in the meats, though our way ist still good. Art there any thou prefers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-01-31 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"That ist beauty," she said. "Flattery they doth say that gets one e'erywhere." "Aye, Hjordis doth enjoy chocolate almost as much as mine wife. They doth have a wide variety of spices and sauces they put on it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-01-31 03:48 am UTC (link)
	He just shakes his head and smiles at her. "Nay, many things may be in the eye of the beholder, thine beauty is not one of them." The flattery saying has him chuckle a little though, he'd heard that in relation to his father before. "Mayhap some people." "On both the chocolate and meat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin blushed more. "Nay, they doth not put spices in chocolate. They doth put chocolate in many things though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I shouldst hope it ist not on the meat!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-01 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, it ist not on the meat," she said. "They have a wonderful chocolate cake here. It hath chocolate mousse in between the layers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It doth indeed sound wonderful, and made for thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, but thou must try it." The restaurant was quite crowded and busy. All of the tables were filled and waiters and waitresses moved around carrying trays of food. One just happened to be passing by with a tray of food and had a toe catch on the carpet, causing the tray of food to go flying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the tray and plates of food go flying, Brandr uses the butter knife he'd been examining briefly to help him knock away any plates and the tray that comes flying at them. Unfortunately...that doesn't save either from the food splatter. "...Midgard meals art livelier than I had expected," he says as he pulls a green bean out of his hair.

	Svalin had her back to the waitress so she had no warning of what was happening. She wondered what Brandr was doing when a dish of pasta with tomato sauce fell on her. "Aye," she said. "Mine wife wilt be most upset that these clothes art ruined." She picked up her napkin and started to wipe her face off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-01 06:45 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, but they suited thee whilst they lasted. I shalt explain to her thou were't not at fault." Brandr hands her his own napkin and turns to the waiter to request more napkins. Well, certainly not how he expected or wanted this to start off. "I art afraid this ist not how I intended our night to begin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-01 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank thee," she said as she took the offered napkin and used it along with hers to clean up as much as possible. The waitress was apologizing profusely and Svalin put a hand up. "There ist no need. Accidents doth happen," Svalin told her. "Many things doth not go how we intend them to go. It ist the company that doth make the eve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-02 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, mayhap just more of the napkins," he said with a charming smile to the waitress who was clearly in distress. "Verily, that alone shouldst mean this eve canst still be salvaged." He glanced at her clothes and hair, and the food staining them, and had to ask. "Wouldst thou like to leave and find someplace else? It seems uncomfortable to remain like this."

	"Mayhap. Canst we get our food to go?" she asked the waitress. The waitress nodded and rushed back to change the order. "We canst take it home and after we change we canst eat it on the beach?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Excellent idea milady. I wilt enter first so Lady Vernique doth not see the state of thine clothes and get upset." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-03 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Worry not about mine wife. She wilt just take me shopping to replace these clothes if they art ruined." Since their food was ready when the waitress spilled her tray, it didn't take her long to return with their order all packed up. "Thank thee," Svalin said and gave her the money to cover the cost of the food and a tip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-03 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Brandr chuckled. "Then I shouldst worry for thee," he joked. With a nod and reassuring smile, he thanked the waitress too and got up to leave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-03 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin stood and picked up the bag that held the containers of food. "Shopping ist not exciting as battle or slaying a dragon, but it doth maketh mine wife happy. That ist the important thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-03 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	He carefully took the bag with food from her without a word and once again indicated she should go first with a short bow and sweep of his hand. "Aye, I canst see that. I shalt have to get used to the shopping though. It...lasts a surprisingly long time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-03 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye and there ist always another reason to go," Svalin said. "I doth not understand how one needs so many things." They hailed a cab and in no time they were back at the mansion. Now they just had to change and head down to the beach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well," Vernique perks up as soon as the door opens. "This isn't on schedule -- what happened to your clothes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
