Enjoying the outdoors (open)
Svalin was outside brushing Tryggvi who happily grazed on the grass around the mansion. Master Jarvis had been most helpful in providing Svalin with hay and oats for Tryggvi and brushes to take care of his coat. The day was warm, the sun was bright and it was nice to be outside the building. The air was thick with pollutants and Svalin did notice.

Svalin had never been one to sit indoors much.

Tryggvi side-stepped and nudged Svalin. She pushed back and he pawed the ground. "Stop that," she said. He too was not used to being inactive.

With a name and the picture still in his phone, Misha decided to visit the Avengers mansion and see if their files could help him get a little more information on Tessa. If the name was fake, hopefully a match could be made by facial recognition. He couldn't blame her if she was hiding. A mutant alone was vulnerable.

He entered through the side gate to go into the kitchen, because the kitchen was where the food briefly lived. A glance toward the back lawn made him pause. A horse? Was Jarvis turning green to maintain the lawn.

Svalin made Tryggvi spread his wings and did a quick check before grabbing the water bucket. She dumped out the remaining water and went inside to fill it. There was an unfamiliar man in there, but she wasn't startled too much.

"Well met," she said as she placed the bucket in the sink and turned the water on. Indoor plumbing was a wonderful invention. It beat having to bring water up from a well.

	It would be years before Misha could startle anybody at first glance like Dad could, if ever. Somehow he inherited all the friendly, personable traits his parents weren't using. "Hi. He's beautiful. Would it disturb him if I took a closer look?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thank thee," she said. She smiled. "Nay. Tryggvi ist friendly and likest others. I art Svalin Thorsdottir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was encouraging. Misha learned the hard way as a kid you didn't assume that the animal sunning on the patio was really an animal and not a shapeshifter who wouldn't really appreciate an enthusiastic ear scratching. He moved closer and a lifted a hand to the horse's neck to stroke the soft hair. "I'm Mikhail Romanov, Misha for short. Just arrived?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tryggvi sniffed the man and then nudged him with his nose looking for treats. "Aye. Mine siblings and I just arrived on Migard a few days ago. We arrived in New York with Ohu not long after that. Art thou an Avenger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-12 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Misha chuckled at the nudging. "Sorry boy, I don't have anything, but I will next time I visit." He patted Tryggvi's nose and smiled at Svalin. "Not unless they need an extra hand. I'm officially with the X-Men, but since my mother and sister are Avengers, I'm happy to help wherever I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here," she said and removed a sugar cube from a small pouch. "Give him this." She offered it to him. "Who art thine sister and mother? I hath heard of the X-Men. Mine father and mother didst mention them. Fine warriors they be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks." He held the cube out in his open palm for the horse to take. "My mother is Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow. Anya Stark is my younger sister."

The horse's mouth tickled a little as he delicately took the sugar. "My dad is known as the Wolverine. He's why I'm with the X-Men. He has a few stories about everybody's parents. Mostly fighting and drinking stories."

	"I hath met thine mother and thine sister. Doth thou not have another sister? Eliza?" She smiled. "I hath heard tales of Wolverine. Mine father doth mention him as well as Volstagg in his tales of Migard." Tryggvi nudged him looking for more sugar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-12 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Eliza. She's so new I'm not used to including her in the sister category yet." He smiled back. "And James. I can't forget James. Mom has quite a zoo going at their place. You arrived with brothers and sisters?" The friendly nudge from Tryggvi made him move half a step. "Any more sugar for my new friend here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I hath met Eliza, which is why I asked. Aye, six of them. Three, who art mine age, came with me. The other three art at home with father and the mothers. They art too young to come to Migard on their own."

She laughed. "Aye." She pulled another sugar cube out and handed it to him. "He liketh thou." Svalin was quiet for a moment. "Wouldst thou be interested in a ride sometime?"

"Eliza fits so well into the family it's almost scary. Wow, I can't imagine having six at home. It was me and Dad at home, and me and Anya whenever I stayed with Mom until this last year. Then the family grew fast."

He took the new sugar cube and offered it to the horse. "I'd love to ride him sometime. In return, I offer a ride on my motorcycle. It doesn't have as much style as Tryggvi, but it's a lot of fun."

	Svalin was outside waiting at the stroke of midnight. Tryggvi immediately demanded attention and she passed the time waiting by brushing him. She enjoyed quiet moments like this. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Since he was carrying a bag of sugar cubes and organic carrots purchased that afternoon, Misha didn't use the stealth option when flying into the Avengers backyard. Much easier to explain a flying armored suit than a floating bag of an unknown substance. He landed far enough away that if Svalin or Tryggvi were startled by his appearance, no one would get hurt.

	Svalin put a calming hand on Tryggvi. The horse was accustomed to the chaos and sounds of battle, but the strange things on Migard terrified him at time. He would get used to them, of that she had no doubt, but it would take time. "Well met," she said to the armored figure. Her other hand was on the hilt of her sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The face plate slid away to reveal his identity. "I hope I'm not late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-16 12:34 am UTC (link)
	The slightest smile appeared on her face. "Nay, thou art not late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-16 12:41 am UTC (link)
	He paused, putting the bag down on the ground by his feet, and removed the helmet. He definitely wanted Tryggvi to recognize him because an animal would be harder to reason with. "I brought carrots and sugar as suggested," he said as he picked up the bag and walked toward them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tryggvi did calm down a bit, but he did paw at the ground with a hoof. "Thou art most kind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-16 05:15 am UTC (link)
	He took a carrot from the bag and offered it to the horse. "Hopefully it'll work. He won't be able to go and there should be a treat involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-16 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"Thou art spoiling him," she said. Tryggvi eagerly ate the carrot and looked for more as soon as he was done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-16 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Misha laughed and gave the horse another carrot. "I learned about spoiling from an expert in the practice. A little spoiling goes a long way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-16 05:41 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. It doest." Grandfather had been known on occasion to spoil the four of them and get them to do what he wanted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-16 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Mom was the spoiler. Dad provided discipline. It seemed to work. He was a reasonably adjusted guy. "Are you about ready?" This time he offered sugar cubes to Tryggvi. "The flight won't take long. You should be warm enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
