Vernique had a package.

Between school and the massive free battle royales, I figured you could use a little something.

Love,
Dad

Eight pounds of cocoa-dusted Belgian truffles.

As she carried them happily to her room, she stopped to knock on the door next to hers.

	There was a moment before the door opened and Svalin filled the doorway. "Greeting, Vernique. How fares thee?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 12:09 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique stands there with the box, smiling. "Pretty well. And facing a decision between risking wastefulness and risking my waistline. Daddy sent me some snacks, and I thought I'd see if you wanted in on the snacking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin eyed the box and then looked at Vernique. Was this some strange Migard custom that she was unaware of? "What doth this snacking entail?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	She flips open the outer box and pulls out one of the bags. "Eating some of these truffles. In a controlled and shared manner so I don't end up just gorging myself on impulse. That's not healthy, you know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 12:23 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled brightly. "Ah. Chocolate." One of her favorite things about Migard so far. "Aye, too much chocolate 'tis not healthy. I wouldst love to have some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 12:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Great." And the bag will be opened. "You settling in okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. I art settling in well enow. Master Jarvis hath shown me around the kitchen and mine room ist adequate. The training room doth provide a challenge and a space to practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, it's nice and versatile." She pops a truffle in her mouth. "Mmm," she soon says. "This is why they invented Belgium." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 12:44 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "'Tis nice to find another person who appreciates chocolate. E'ery night Marlow and I wouldst have hot chocolate and some truffles before we retired for the night. It wast a time...what is the word...bonding I believe." Svalin carefully removed a truffle from the box and popped it in her mouth. "Aye. Most delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 12:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Mmm now that's some good bonding time. When I'm not splurging or receiving sudden packages from Dad, I tend to go for chocolate covered raisins." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye it was." Svalin tilted her head. "I hath ne'er tried chocolate covered raisins. What art they like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, as it sounds, they're raisins coated in chocolate. Solidly coated, not the melted kind, although fruit in melted chocolate is great, too, just a lot messier. Anyway, they're chewy and fruity and sweet with an overarching smooth chocolatey-ness. It's nice. Big thing at movie theaters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	"They sound interesting," Svalin admitted. "I wilt have to try them at some point. The Lady Sydney didst not keep much sweets in the house due to young Zoey." A pause. "And Ohu." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique chuckles. "I guess you can't be too careful with first graders and...what is he again, Ashanti?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. Ashanti trickster god. Which didst make things interesting." Svalin remembered Disneyland and Area 51 with some fondness. Her brow furled in thought. "What do the Avengers do when they art not fighting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, many of us go to normal social activities, some of us attend classes, and exactly one of us tries to talk her mother into letting her attend more Nevell board meetings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin thought about that for a moment. "What art normal social activities?" She had to ask. The Defenders were her siblings and others not so normal so what they did for social activities were bound to be different from what the Avengers did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Movie nights, shopping, lunches with people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin frowned a little. "Art there no battles or training?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-20 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course there's training. Plenty. I'm talking about the strictly social stuff, in which the closest is pick-up basketball games, and I don't really play." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-20 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin was processing this. "I doth see. I art not one for social stuff. Though the Defenders didst go to Medieval Times and Disneyland. They wert fun times." Svalin smiled as she thought about the victory over the Kraken. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I heard about that." It has been established, by Vernique's standards, that Asgardians have a funny sense of fun, but that's okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'Twas much fun. Halbjorn and I defeated the kraken at Disneyland. I doth hear there ist a Disney World. Doth it possess the same kind of challenges?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-03-21 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"Disney World has a lot of similarities, but I don't think they're likely to end up with a kraken situation themselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-03-21 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"I see," she said a little disappointed. It would have been fun to battle the kraken again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
