Bow to the Crown
Svalin wasn't quite sure how it happened, but she found herself along with Aridis on a road trip with Frances. Vernique had gone shopping with Brandr and Solver, saying that Solver needed more clothes. Though Svalin was quite sure their son had enough clothes and shoes and everything else a child could need. Svalin was of the mind that he could have used a few more wooden weapons, but her wife was quite keen on limiting the number of those.

Aridis and she had been in the training room when Frances found them. The next moment they were in the car and heading somewhere.

"Where art we?" Svalin asked as they climbed out of the car.

	"Aye. Perhaps the United States is filed with smaller kingdoms," Aridis supposes out loud. "And they elect one of the kings to act as... High King? For a few years." That is so wrong but Aridis didn't really understand democracies or elections. She didn't care to as it wasn't important to what she did like doing as well as her duties.

"Well, uh, no, technically those kinds of titles are revoked in the US, we don't have the feudal system," Frances starts, slowly dawning to the problem. "They may not let you into some fights, you know Midgardian knights versus Asgardian goddesses?" The fights are probably choreographed, one of the knights going up against either of them might end up putty and then there was the insurance claims.

	"Art they visiting dignitaries?" she asked. "A true knight wouldst face a challenge no matter how great it ist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye. Svalin would not injure them. Only bruise a little," Aridis commented. The point is to beat them not to nearly kill them. "If they yielded in a match if they are clearly in a losing position then it ist no dishonor on their part."

Aridis doubts that Svalin would lose any tournament on Earth personally. She also thinks that archery would be a fair competition for herself. The bow she would be using has no magic to enhance it. She would be using no spells to make her shots strike true either.

"Well, they're king and queen of here, but I don't think the President recognizes them as a sovereign ruler. They probably rotate the position around, just os everyone gets to have a crack at it." As fun as it sounds to be queen, wearing royal regalia in this weather probably sucked.

Shrugging to Aridis, Frances had to agree that Svalin probably wouldn't beat anyone to a pulp. Wouldn't, not couldn't. "Maybe they have some participatory fights, the jousts are probably off limits. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, after all."

	"I must see if I canst join," Svalin said. She was itching to fight some of these warriors. "I doth want to see how these warriors fare." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And when ist the archery competition," Aridis asked. She did not want to be late. "If there art forms to signed I doth not wish to be late to do that. I must make sure to fill out things in English." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can split up?" Frances offered and looked between the two. "The archery will need a few permission forms signed, and that will give you time to... request an audience? We can meet up to see how things will go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin said. She was already planning on heading over to see if she can join the melee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Aridis echoes looking happy. She loves a good contest. "Then later we can hast beer. I doth enjoy some of Midgar's drinks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, so was a plan and hopefully they'd get their questions answered. "Yes, beer! We play, kick ass, take names and then reconvene for lots of beer. Okay so," Frances looked around and pointed in two directions. "We go that way and Lady Svalin goes that way, and best of luck follow all, cool? Cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin said. "I wilt see thee later." Off she went toward the melee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I wouldst wish mine sister luck but she doth not need it," Aridis said simply.

"She ist very skilled. If she is beaten then I wouldst be shocked.... Either way this ist for fun." She follows after Frances.

"Would thou be willing to check mine paper work? Speaking English is... a skill I art acquiring but writing is much more difficult." There is no shame in asking for help.

	"Your two training must have been intense- and plush," Frances mused, waving her hands between the two blondes. "Like apprenticing with what, gods and names from legends?" "No problem, mostly this is just you saying you won't sue if you poke your eye out. Not much fancy-legal stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)
