Asleif and Kael's Adventures in Babysitting
 This was a nice, quiet day. Most of the more rowdy Asgardians were elsewhere, so this meant a time of relaxation and peace. Kael sat in the library, calmly reading a book. Hmm, perhaps he should ask Asleif if she wished to take part in this quiet.

Asleif was elsewhere on the grounds, in the living room, watching Solver play with some of his toys.

She was not entirely sure how this had happened. And she was reasonably certain she had not actually said "yes" to anything. But apparently, everyone else had somewhere to be today. And the Goddess of Secrets and Deceptions had somehow been unable to come up with a lie for what she was doing that required her not to be doing this.

On the other hand, this was, perhaps, the longest she'd actually spent in her nephew's presence.

Kael had decided to seek out Asleif to join him when he suddenly noted the odd situation.

"Greetings, beloved. Where is everyone?"

"Out," she said, "committed to their own responsibilities. T'was naught to do but to leave Solver with me. Too quick for me to spin my words and discourage such duty."

Kael raised an eyebrow. "All of them? SO..it's just us..with the Prince?"

"Aye," she said. "The perfect storm of circumstances."

She allowed herself a small sigh. "I suspect it was not their ideal choice."

He sat down beside her, taking her hand in his. "Do not sell yourself short, love. If they did not trust you, they would not have left to begin with."

"Remind me to show you what else it can do when we have time to ourselves," he teased. He looks back at Solver. "..Is he supposed to be up the tree?"

The dangers of a flying child.

"No," Asleif said quickly, getting to her feet. "Solver! Get down from there immediately!"

Oh dear. Kael quickly followed after Asleif.

"Solver..your mothers wouldn't want you in the tree."He holds his hands out. "Come on, fly down."

Asleif held out her own hands. "Come now, child. Come down."

And Solver looks at the pair and starts giggling.

"..We are being mocked by a toddler, aren't we?"

"Aye," Asleif said.

She took a breath, and drew herself to her full height. While not as tall as Svalin, she could cut an imposing enough presence.

"Solver. If you do not come down immediately, there shall be consequences."

[info]olympian_elf

And Solver will just look at Asleif with curiosity.

Kael looks over at Asleif. "Does he know what 'consequences' means?"

That caused Asleif to blink in surprise.

"...I do not know."

This did not bode well. "Have you ever seen Svalin or Vernique discipline him?"

There was really no good way to answer that question.

Instead, Asleif floated up toward the top branches where Solver was.

"Solver," she said, "it is time to come down."

Kael had been about to say something contributing, he really had, but then he caught a glance up Asleif's dress and just froze.

"Forgive me, beloved..but could you remain there for a moment."

Asleif was rather distracted by Solver for the moment, and missed any of the implications involved. She'd probably realize them later.

"Solver," she said, more firmly, "the time for games is over. Come to me."

Solver seemed to study his aunt a moment before deciding to cut her a break and floated over to her. Kael on the other hand was still frozen below, though he quickly composed himself when he saw Solver fly over to her.

"Good child," Asleif said, getting a firm but comforting grip on him before she floated down. "That wasn't so hard, now was it?"

She shook her head as her feet touched ground again. "I had heard mine sister speak of how roaming he couldst be, but I did not expect that."

Kael was almost disappointed, but didn't dwell on it.

"Doesn't Vernique have some manner of harness she has him wear?"

Asleif's eyes widen slightly, then she smiled. "You are correct. we should see where that has gotten to."

"I believe I saw it last in the living room. Not sure if it's still there," he admitted.

Asleif nodded. "Then let us go see if we can find it."

"Very well." They were on their way to the room before Kael couldn't help himself, chuckling.

As they walked back, Asleif was at both times amused and annoying by her nephew.

"Solver, please stop pulling my hair. Solver. Now."

"Do you want me to hold him for a bit?" Kael offered.

Asleif let out a sigh of relief, carefully removing Solver's hands from her hair.

"Mine thanks," she said, offering the child to him.

Kael took him, smiling at Solver. "Hello, little prince. There we are, no need to fuss."

Asleif was beginning to remember why she was not good with children. She hadn't even been especially good with children when she was a child.

"Blast it," she said, searching, "where is it?"

Kael bounced Solver a little as he looked around until...

"...Is that it?" There the leash was, half-buried in a garbage can. Kael looked over at Solver with narrowed, though not malicious, eyes. "You little scamp."

A half-smiled pulled at Asleif's lips. "Mine nephew has some measure of craftiness about him. This pleases me greatly."

She picked the leash out of the garbage can.

"What other surprises might he hold?"

"I suppose we have to wait and see," Kael said with a half-smile as his own, tickling Solver stomach, drawing giggles from the boy.

Asleif smiled slightly. Kael certainly seemed to have a way with Solver.

"He certainly doth seem to like you," she said.

"Aye," Asleif confirmed. "Thou seems to have a way with him."

[info]olympian_elf
2013-10-16 11:35 pm UTC (link)
Kael seems to think a moment. "I relate to him. He is a child thrust into a situation he did not ask for, one with abilities born of a foreign parent that makes him a target to many."

"Thine words ring true," Asleif said. "Thou art both children of Asgard, but children of other realms as well."

She smiled. "And perhaps thou has just a bit of thy father within thee. By all accounts, Hercules was always quite good with children."

That causes Kael to pause for a moment. While he no longer hated his father, his feelings for the man were still mixed. Still..a possible connection...

"I.." Kael blinks a couple times, determined not to embarrass himself in front of Asleif and Solver. Solver seemed to look at Kael with a child's compassion before hugging his neck. Kael's expression just froze, looking at Asleif with conflicting emotions.

Asleif moved to his side, stroking his cheek gently. "Thou art a good man, Beloved. Wherever that may come from, it be a part of what draws me to you so."

He rests one of his hands upon hers while holding Solver easily with his other arm.

"My thanks, Beloved."

"Tis naught but the truth," Asleif said. "And you, nephew?" she asked Solver. "Do you agree?"

Solver just gave an impish smile, nodding his head. Kael laughs warmly. "I cannot argue with such a definitive statement."
