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?

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-03 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"It ist not blood," Svalin immediately said. Best to get that out of the way right up front. "A waitress tripped and spilled her tray. On us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-04 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Lady Vernique," he bows when she opens the door. "Aye, it ist not blood. Midgard dining ist more lively than I had expected, it ist just a spill." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ack, that's bad. I hope you can salvage the evening. And that I can salvage the blouse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We wert going to change and eat our meal on the beach," Svalin explained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A reasonable plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr had no idea if the blouse could be salvaged, but then again, to him they were just clothes and were not of too high an importance. "Aye, mayhap our fortune shouldst be better there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-05 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin said. She went up to her room and put on a pair of jeans and a clean blouse. She tossed the stained blouse on the floor. She came back downstairs and smiled at Brandr. "I art ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When she returned he'd changed his own shirt and gotten any remaining bits of food out of his hair. "Aye, thou art," he agrees with his charming grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right then. Evening out: take two. Have fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-02-07 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Aye. We wilt have fun." She grabbed a blanket to spread out on the sand. Svalin wasn't much of a fan of sand. It was nice to walk on, but she didn't like getting it all over her. "Art thou ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-02-07 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"As ever milady," he smiles back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They left the bungalow and started heading down toward the beach. "It ist unfortunate that happened, but dinner on the beach ist not such a bad thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
