Tales in babysitting..
It had been a perfect storm, where everyone seemed to have something to do upon the same hour, upon the same day. Everyone, it seemed, except the Asgardian story teller, who assured the royal family that she was honored and pleased to watch the baby. She and Solver had gone for a walk on the grounds, taken in an absurdly entertaining episode that had pony's with an impressive amount of sassy and moxy, and she had told him an enthralling and carefully edited tale from the young Prince's homeland while she bathed him.

It seemed so long since she sang in the halls of Asgard, before her friends, parents, even Odin himself. Now she sang softly to the baby, of his people and the great things they were capable of as she rocked him asleep, being careful to tuck a blanket around him to keep him warm before heading down to wait for one of his mothers. A cup of cocoa and People and she was settled in to wait, content.

Svalin hadn't liked the idea at first, but the once a month date thing was rather nice. She and Brandr had one guaranteed night out a month and Svalin found herself looking forward to them. Tonight had been a nice night out for dinner and then a movie. Now it was time to collect her son and head to their bungalow.

She eventually found Iona. "Hail and well met," Svalin said quietly.

	She looked up, closing her magazine before she had to read to much about some young woman's latest twerking scandal, smiling when she saw who entered, "Good evening my lady...The prince is fast asleep...I hope you had as pleasant an evening as I." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, I didst. How wast he this eve?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Delightful. He is a most happy child, and quite content with life." He really was a lovely baby, and mostly easy to take care of - it was fairly obvious she had enjoyed her evening. "Mayhaps I might get thee a drink? Tea or hot chocolate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. Her weakness for chocolate was well known within the Defenders. "Aye. Hot chocolate wouldst be lovely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iona smiled and nodded and went to get the milk and a sauce pan, "You seem most happy..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I art," she said. "It wast a wonderful eve with Lord Brandr and now I art to have hot chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dare she ask for details??? The lady Svalin was her future Queen...on the other hand, they were a couple of young women and there was chocolate present... "And my Lord Brandr...how is he? He seems like he would have a romantic nature..." She got out a large cup and the cocoa as the milk simmered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin nodded. "He ist well," Svalin answered. "He ist most thoughtful and kind." That's all Svalin would say. She wasn't one to talk about personal and intimate details. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She busied herself for a moment to make the drink for Svalin before she carefully set it before the Princess. "Tis good to see you happy, if I may say. None deserves it more." Iona gave Svalin a little salute with her own hot chocolate before drinking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank thee, Iona," Svalin said. After loosing Jon she didn't think she'd ever be happy again, but Brandr had proven her wrong. She was happy. She had an incredible wife, an amazing son and a handsome and kind man to share her bed. "What about thee? Art thou happy here on Migard?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2013-09-18 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	She pondered that for a moment....her happiness had never really entered into the equation, she was here to do a duty and it was an honor to do it. "As happy as I can be, my lady. Tis different in so many ways... But I do miss my parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We wilt be going to Asgard soon near Solver's birthday if thou wouldst like to visit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her eyes lit up at that, "Aye. Tis been a long time. To long..." Since the wedding...The schism between her parents and herself...it had long weighed upon her. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-09-19 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	"There ist no reason to thank me," she said. "We all must return home from time to time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2013-09-20 12:35 am UTC (link)
	"I haven't been home since..." She shook her head a little, still not quite believe what had happened on her near-wedding day, "tis been over long. It will be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-09-22 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin agreed. "It wilt be good to be back in the Golden Realm." (Reply to this)(Parent)
