Fresh air and sunshine (Open)
It was strange that when Svalin first came to Migard she didn't want to be here or stay, but the place had grown on her and now she enjoyed it. She missed it and the people when she was in Asgard. It was good to be home and back into what was now considered normal life.

The sun was just coming up in the east and Svalin was already up and outside. She had seen to Tryggvi and Snowflake and decided to get a few hours of practice in before the other residents of the compound woke. Vigfrior wasn't in her hand, but instead it was at her waist. She had her Bat'leth in her hands and worked through her forms.

	"Thou'rt growing quite skilled with that weapon, sister mine." comes the call from the path. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "Mayhap, but I have yet to test mine skill with it in battle. How fares thee, brother?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, but when thou hast Vigfrior, why wouldst thou? I fare well enow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ne'er hurts to master more than one weapon or have more than one at thine side in battle. Mayhap one day this blade wilt feel as Vigfrior doth in mine hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-27 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, mayhap. Though Vigfrior ist, itself, more than one weapon. And tis good to master many. I didst not make it for thee for't to go unused, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Worry not, it will be used. I art rather fond of the weapon. A regret is that Vigfrior cannot assume the shape." Svalin swung the bat'leth. "Wouldst thou care to spar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, drawing his sword instead of the Bloodaxe, and stepping closer to her. "Aye, tis a pity. But it wilt serve the well enow as a secondary blade." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-10-27 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said and launched into an attack. The bat'let dipped and one end was brought up in an upward strike toward his mid-section. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He swings the sword down, not quite as quick as she is, the bat'leth still catching his abs, first blood to her - but blocked enough to not dig too deep. He rolls away from it, swinging the flat of his blade at her hip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin brought the bat'leth down at an angle to catch the blade. Metal rang loud against metal. Svalin stepped back and lowered her weapon. "Thou attacks with the flat. Why? Mine enemies wouldst not be so kind and neither shouldst thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-27 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	He grins. "Because, thou'rt quicker than I, I knew thou wouldst parry. I wast trying to lock weapons with thee and drive thee downward... and the flat ist better for brute force. Hadst thou not retreated now, thou wouldst be on the ground." He may not be the brightest, but he knows one on one combat. Method to his madness now and then. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It doth make sense," she said. "I wast concerned thou wert holding back." She smiled and brought up her bat'leth again. She made a feint to the right and changed up mid-attack to come at him from the left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-27 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Hold back? I wouldst ne'er insult thee so!" he replies, responding to the feint, and taking a firm hit in the side, the blade biting in and her force enough to drive him back a couple steps before he can respond with a backhand towards her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not long after Vernique had finally gotten Svalin to rest, Solver woke and fussed until he got to go outside again. So Vernique was hefting her massive baby boy in her arms and walking about. "Hi, Kael," she told Tall Dark and Easily Confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked up to see Lady Svalin's mortal wife. "Lady Vernique," he greeted politely, though unenthusiastic. "How do you and the young prince fare?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-28 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Well enough, thanks. Solver's desperate for a tanning regimen, as usual... Blast it. My shoe's come untied. Could you hold him for a sec, please, Kael?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2011-10-28 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	Kael looked just dumbfounded. "You want me to hold the baby? I..I don't think Lady Svalin would approve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-28 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"If Svalin were here, I wouldn't need to ask someone else to hold the baby. Logically, therefore, Svalin's not here. Come on. You keep your sword-arm like this and your off-hand like this. It's not that hard, yes, he's heavy, but you're Asgardian; you're /all/ heavy. I just need to tie my damn shoe so I don't trip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2011-10-28 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Kael looks uncomfortable, but does as she directs. His nose scrunches up a bit at her words. "With respect, Lady Vernique, but I am not Asgardian. I am Dark Elf." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-28 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry. It's not that you all look alike to us mortals, but we don't really have a good catchall term for 'from a place that ends in 'gard' or 'heim' that isn't Midgard.'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2011-10-28 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, well..it's okay, Lady." He held Solver awkwardly, but carefully. He didn't find the babe heavy as Vernique, but..he was a dealer in death. Holding a baby was out of his comfort zone. Then again..this whole world was out of his comfort zone. "How old is he?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-28 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, feel free to take Solver before His Highness panics," Vernique says, chuckling as she ties her shoe. "He's a month and a half old, Kael." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2011-10-28 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I am not..panicking," Kael insisted. Still, he didn't hesitate to pass Solver over to Iona. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
