Mandatory Fun
Svalin was a woman of her world. She would do anything to keep her word once she gave it and she had given it to her brother when they made their wager. Now she had to do what she agreed upon. Tonight was a night out with Brandr.

Svalin pulled her hair back into a thick braid and dressed in a pair of pants with loose blouse. Her sword was at her side and she wore her favorite pair of boots. She played with Solver while she waited for Brandr.

	Brandr was wearing much the same thing, taken from his midgard clothes, all approved beforehand by Lady Vernique (who'd picked them out really), except with two swords. He smiled when he walked in and bowed his head in apology. "Apologies milady for making you wait." Though he was still curious about what had caused this change of heart for her.

	"Well met, Brandr," Svalin said with a half smile. "There ist no need to apologize. Thou'rt not late and I doth not mind the time with Solver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then mine apologies to the young lord for interrupting," he smiled at the boy and gave him a short bow of the head too. "Art thou ready to leave milday?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, I art ready," she said. "Go find thine mother," she said after kissing Solver on the cheek. "I love thee." "Love you, Mommy," the toddler said and flew off to Vernique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr smiles at the boy as he flies off. "I art pleased ye changed thine mind milady, did thou have a plan for today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled as she watched Solver fly off. She turned to Brandr. "Mayhap we canst try mini-golf? Zoey didst maketh us go once and it wast fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They made it the mini golf place and Svalin paid for the both of them. Lady Sydney had instructed them well when it came to Migard money. They got their clubs and headed for the course. "Ready?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Aye but..." He held the golf club up before him like one might grip a sword. "How doth this work exactly? Would a club or similar weapon not be better for hitting things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-08 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"Like this," she said as she held the club the proper way. "Thou put the ball down, hit it with the club and try to get it into the hole down the green." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap a demonstration milady? I shalt follow thine example," he nodded as he adjusted his grip to mimic hers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "I wilt go first." Svalin put her ball down on the small rubber mat. She put the ball down and then lined up her shot. Very gently she hit the ball and it rolled toward the hole. It stopped short. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-16 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. "I art only two strokes behind and canst win this." She took her shot and had the ball stopped a few inches from the hole. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I art afraid I canst not let that happen milady," he said as he shot his ball, which skimmed hers to knock it slightly away from the hole. "It ist a duel of sorts after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-16 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Svalin's jaw set in determination and she lined up her next shot. Despite her ball rolling away from the hole from being hit by his, it rolled toward the hole and fell in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-04-16 12:23 am UTC (link)
	He smiled at that, expecting nothing less from her, and lined up his own shot, knocking his ball neatly into the hole. "The final verdict?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-16 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"A moment," she said adding up the scores. Svalin took a deep breath. "Thou didst win." Her mouth went suddenly dry and a lump formed in her throat at the thought of kissing him. Butterflies danced around in her stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They finished their ice cream and took a cab back to the Defenders' compound. Svalin stopped when they were on the small porch of the bungalow. "Thank thee. It wast a nice eve." Much better than the last time they went out. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-04-25 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"It wast. And thank thee milady for spending it with me," he smiled and bowed his head slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-25 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	"It wast mine pleasure," she said with a smile. "Mayhap we canst do this again sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-04-25 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, we canst," he smiled back, pleased that maybe she wouldn't need a mandatory fun thing as an excuse. "I look forward to it." He bowed as he spoke and took her hand to give it a kiss, not letting go as he glanced back up at her, still partly bowed. "Ist thine offer about shouldst fancy strike still there milady?"

	shield_maiden 2013-04-25 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "As do I. Aye. The offer ist always there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And in her own chair, with the words just onthe edge of hearing, Vernique leaned back and smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	dashingly 2013-04-28 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Always good to hear." And she'll get a kiss for that. Because one always made good on those sorts of offers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
