Translation needed. (For Hal)
Still reflecting -- and fuming, yes, some fuming -- on what she had overheard, Vernique this time just doesn't bother trying to confront her wife to start with. She stalked outside to where her favorite brother-in-law was.

"Hal, I need help."

	"Always a pleasure to aid thee." Hal responds, ceasing practice for the moment. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I once more have a problem with how Svalin is handling something, and I don't know the best way to talk to her about it. I don't... I don't want things to get... like they were... again. So I want to go into this with as much perspective as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-03-03 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye." he agrees. He doesn't get mortals a lot of the time, so why should anyone expect others to get Asgardians? Just makes sense. "What ist the problem?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She just turned down a chance at a second date by, in part, citing having to take care of me and Solver. Probably only in part, but still, and with a lot of sadness and clearly actually-being-interested. Let me start by being very clear that if Svalin ever had to give some guy a brush-off and needed to be polite about it, and used me and Solver as an excuse, I would be cool with it. I'm her wife; I've got her back; it's not that." A deep breath. "But it's different when she's using us as an excuse to pull her masochist Heavy-the-Head-that-wears-the-crown schtick when she doesn't have to."

	"Aye, tis most odd. And I had begun to think she wast learning to relax more. There art others to aid in looking after the both of thee. She needeth to take some time for herself as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-04 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah this... I... I don't want to talk to her first about this, Hal. Not this time. Can you talk to her first, during a workout or whatever?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-03-04 04:50 am UTC (link)
	"She ne'er listened to me before, so I canst promise naught this time... save that, for thee, I wilt try. Aye, during practice next." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-04 04:55 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks, Hal. I appreciate it, and trying is all I'm asking. I just... I need to not be the crazy mortal coming out of apparent nowhere to her, this time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-03-04 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"Thou'rt most welcome. And most assuredly not crazy. Mine sister ist just too attached to e'ery responsibility she dedicates herself with holding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-04 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Vernique smiles. "Thanks, Hal." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:10 am UTC (link)
	And eventually, she finds Brandr. "Hey. Can we talk?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Brandr bows when she approaches. "Aye milady. What of?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"Svalin. Let's get some wine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Brandr nods and follows along, not one to turn down wine or a request by Lady Vernique. "Very well, wine it shalt be," he smiles slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:24 am UTC (link)
	"Great." And they'll settle in somewhere quiet, and she'll pour a couple glasses of a decent Cabernet. "So. I accidentally went for my bag in the control room when you two were in the practice room. I'm sorry about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:25 am UTC (link)
	He raises an eyebrow and smiles slightly. "There ist no need to apologize for that milady. It ist thine home after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:30 am UTC (link)
	" 'Tis still polite to express regret for overhearing thy discussion, Brandr," Vernique says with a dry smile. "...And boy, do I regret it. I... am not comfortable with what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:32 am UTC (link)
	He paused and nodded slowly, not entirely sure where she was heading and not wanting to jump to conclusions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"...I'm not going to call what Svalin said what I want to call it, because it would make you uncomfortable. So I just... want to ask you, as a friend, to not take it as a reflection on you or her opinions of you, or anything else that should be set in stone, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:44 am UTC (link)
	He couldn't say that was what he'd expected her to say, but one learned to go with anything. "Aye, I promise I shall not milady." Pause. "I take it thou doth not agree with what Lady Svalin hast said?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"No, I don't agree with being used as a pretense for --" And Vernique cuts herself off. There's a time and a place for her rants about Svalin's masochism, and this wasn't it. She can say it to Hal; Hal -- and she said this with all love and with fair certainty that he'd understand -- didn't count the same way. "--for whatever happened in there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Brandr nods and says carefully, trying to measure his words, "Lady Svalin...ist very good at putting others before herself." He's not sure how else to put the masochism streak even he can recognize, so that's about as polite a way he can find to say it at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"Yep," Vernique says, and drinks her wine, a little faster than she normally would. "A lesson hard learned, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm too mortal for that stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 05:09 am UTC (link)
	He takes a drink of his wine when she does and shakes his head a little. "It ist not a bad thing to be mortal, though likely frustrating in understanding some of our ways," he smiled slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Vernique smiles back. "Thanks, Brandr. And Solver's part mortal, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I art aware. I doubt thou wilt allow him to end up with our very... tunneled perspective?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2013-03-05 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"With all due respect and affection, preventing that is my dearest wish. Oh, he'll know his duty; I won't bother trying to stop that. But he'll know some other things, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-03-05 05:24 am UTC (link)
	"None disrespect taken milady. I art aware of our rather...focused ways, though mine duties hath much clearer boundaries than do those of Lord Thor's children. Mayhap that ist what Asgard needs, one who knows...the other things." (Reply to this)(Parent)
