Martyred Saint's Day
Marlow had never celebrated Valentine's Day. She knew about it and why, but it didn't really register. There was extra chocolate around in brightly wrapped foils, and heart shaped cookies available in the kitchen, but given how much the compound residents ate every day the extra goodies didn't last long enough to give her a clue they were for a reason other than the usual one.

She thought the valentine Zoey gave her was lovely and told the little girl so. It was on the mirror in her bedroom along with the Christmas card Zoey had given her. In return, she drew on Zoey's cheek with her fingertip and bit of magic to give her a sparkly red heart that would fade within a few hours.

	Quinn totally didn't mind being stuck in this world for Valentine's Day. He had beautiful women around him and he was going to let them know they were appreciated. He had made a special trip into LA to buy Godiva chocolate and flowers for each of them. He knocked on the door to the bungalow Marlow shared with Svalin. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marlow was making tea in the tiny kitchen when she heard the knock. She opened the door and the vague air about her vanished. Quinn was very amusing and she liked to watch him. "Hello." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hello, pretty lady," he said with a smile. "I come bearing gifts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled back, unable not to smile at his cheerful mood. "Come in. I'm making tea. Would you like some?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tea would be smashing, luv," he said. "These are for you." He offered her the chocolates and a bouquet of white roses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow took them from him almost shyly, for her. She had never received flowers from anyone before. "Oh. Thank you. They're very nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome, luv. It's the least I could do." Quinn smiled. "I got a valentine from the wee one. She's a cute kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-13 08:45 am UTC (link)
	Marlow led the way to the tiny kitchen and took down a water carafe to hold the roses. "Zoey gave everyone cards. She's very sweet. Mine is on my mirror." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's a cute kid," Quinn said as he took a seat at the small table in the kitchen. "Bet she keeps all of you on your toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marlow fussed with the delicate blooms a bit more before turning her attention to preparing two mugs. The gently boiling kettle sat on an unlit burner.

"Zoey and Ohu keep Sydney very busy," she said with a tiny smile. "The Asgardians are very good to her as well. I'm not sure they don't realize that she's not a pet. Not that it's a bad thing, they take excellent care of their animals."

	Quinn chuckled. "I bet. Kids can be a handful. My Dad and Mum said I was quite the handful. Isn't Ohu supposed to know better?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gods are different," she said with a shrug. "Have you had much contact with gods?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-14 03:01 am UTC (link)
	"Only Thor and Hercules when Dr. Strange worked with the Avengers," he answered. "We don't have as many gods running around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-14 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"I wonder why there are so many around now," she mused, looking into her mug. Water. She'd forgotten to pour the water. She went to get the kettle. "There does seem to be more out of the closet. That really can't be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Apparently the gods here are more into the pleasurable things in life," Quinn said with a grin. "Though I'm still unsure of how I even got here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-14 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that you were meant to be here for a reason, or you need more pleasurable things in life. I've noticed Earth is sort of an adults' club for a lot of beings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-14 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"I like the latter myself," Quinn said with a wide grin. "I could use a little pleasure in my life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe Halbjorn found much in the the way of pleasure at some bars up the road. Argo seemed to find it every where he went." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-14 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Quinn smiled. "What about you, luv? Where have you found pleasure here on Earth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-14 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Marlow seemed to stick on the question. She knew what he was asking, but he didn't realize that she was sharing a compound with three Asgardian goddesses. She faded into the background even without the competition. "I enjoy working on magic down by the water." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that all, luv? Surely there has to be other things a pretty girl like you enjoy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-14 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I really don't get out much," she murmured. "Cream and sugar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a bloody shame, luv. Perhaps you'd let me take you out? Black please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-15 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Marlow slid his mug of tea toward him. "I...uh...okay." She immediately dumped extra sugar into hers. Did she just agree to go out with Quinn? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-15 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Quinn grinned broadly. "It's a date. Don't worry, we'll have a smashing good time. Promise." Quinn took a sip of his tea. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
