Svalin smiled as she lay on her side against Jon while her fingers trailed lightly over his chest. A thin sheet covered them from the waist down since body heat provided sufficient warmth. A satisfied tiredness made her limbs feel heavy and a yawn escaped her. The day had been filled with training sessions and the night with a different type of physical exertion. One that put a satisfied smile on her face.

"Art thou asleep?" she asked barely above a whisper.

	"I've kind of tried not to, for the most part. Easier to kind of figure things out, and work on what needs to be done without trying to figure out who doesn't see beyond the big red S, or expects my father, or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I canst understand," she said. "It ist always good to have someone see thee for thineself and not other reasons." Svalin kissed him. "But it canst lead to loneliness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He considers that a few moments, then nods. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Really, in your own way, it was kind of nice to see you dimensional travelers... aside from the obvious, just meeting someone totally different and unfamiliar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist always nice to meet new people," she said. "We dist meet our fair share on this trip. The Hyborean age wast quite an experience as well as the time of King Arthur. Of course mine favorite wast during the time of the vikings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "Aye. It wast easy for me. Not so much for the others. There wert certain things that didst not sit well with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We arrived in that time during a funeral for a chieftain. A thrall sacrifices herself to accompany her lord into the next life. It wast not what mine companions wert used to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not what he was expecting either, taking a few moments to consider that. "Yeah... I wouldn't have seen that coming either." Nor is he sure what he'd do there, much as he tries to be sensitive to different cultures, especially after his alien worlds tour. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes it ist hard to accept others customs and not interfere." She shrugged. "Migard wast oft confusing and quite shocking for me when we first arrived." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-03-28 02:45 am UTC (link)
	He nods just slightly, still considering all the implications. "You getting used to it? Anything that still catches you off guard?" Best to change the subject a bit, perhaps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. We have a mortal to help us adjust. Lady Sydney ist most patient and doth make things easier. There wert problems in the beginning. We art still banned from Disneyland." She smiled and pink touched her cheeks. "Thou caught me off guard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gives her a one-armed squeeze at the latter comment, but can't help but get a little curious on the first bit. "Banned from... Disneyland? Really?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye. Lady Sydney's daughter Zoey wanted to go and we accompanied them. There wast some mishaps with magic and the...characters for lack of a better word came to life. Including the kraken and the small evil dolls from a ride. Mine brother and I slayed the kraken and chopped up those annoying little dolls. The other Defenders dealt with other things. It wast not our fault the things came to life, but we were banned none the less."

	Svalin blushed a little. "Mayhap. She doth have a way with the animals. The dogs and the tiger follow her all o'er and Tryggvi and her horse love her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Mine brother's. He found it in Disneyland and brought it home with him. I trained Eyhvatr along with Zoey's help. I art waiting for the day when Marlow doth bring home a hellhound she keeps mentioning that she wants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
