First impressions
It had taken her awhile, but Grace had managed to locate Defenders HQ. Granted, she got lost a couple of times on the way there....but she was there now.

Her heart was beating loudly and felt like it would fall out of her stomach. Her palms were sweaty and her feet felt like blocks of cement.

She could do this. She wanted to do this for seventeen years. Well...granted, she didn't know who her father was until recently, but she'd still wanted to meet him just the same.

Inhaling and gathering her courage, Grace walked up to the door and pressed down on the buzzer.

	"Thank you," Grace said, her face still a lovely shade of tomato red. "I'm just here to see Simon...and I'm not really sure how long I'm staying, exactly." She took his extended hand and shook it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He lifts Zoey effortlessly, and turns Grace's hand gently in his, bowing slightly before her, the size difference putting his face close to hers when he does so. "Then this compound ist brightened by e'en thy brief presence, fair Grace, and surely thou'rt welcome as long as thou shouldst wish, and we shalt keep thee well entertained whilst thou wait. What business hast thou with Simon?"

	"Thank you," her face settled on a shade of pink, "I have a hotel room not too far from here, though. I wouldn't want to crowd anyone." She paused. "Simon's an old...associate of my mom's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey held on to Halbjorn and giggled when the tiger nudged her feet with his nose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace looked over at the tiger. "It it...safe for him to be that close to her?" Or safe for him to be near humans in general, for that matter, baby or not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Fear thee not, lovely one. We hath very large and comfortable accomodations here. If thou'rt a family friend, then surely thou'rt welcome here." This is his version of subtle around the six year old.
Carrying Zoey now, he glances to the door. "So thou wert going to go see the stables? Mine sister keeps them well. And aye, mine sister and I hath him well trained. Zoey helps Svalin in training him some days."

	"I appreciate the offer. Everyone here seems really nice." She smiled warmly, before looking curiously at the tiger. "May I pet him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2010-01-28 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Of course!" he agrees enthusiastically, while the tiger looks up at Grace with a little baby play-mewl, tilting his head to one side curiously. He knows when he's being talked about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's very friendly. He likes behind his ears scratched," Zoey advised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-28 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Grace took her advice, scratching behind the tiger's ears. "Yes you're a very nice boy, aren't you?" Grace cooed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The oh so fierce tiger play growls and rolls over to get his belly rubbed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey giggled. "Svalin and I just taught him to pounce on command." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're just the king of the jungle there, aren't you?" Grace giggled as she playfully rubbed his belly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kitten playfully swats at her hand in turn, keeping his claws in. This is playtime, and a new person he likes. He playrawrgrowls a few more times. "One day he wilt be a fierce warrior. For now, he ist learning to stalk and hunt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-28 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Zoey nodded. "He chases the dogs and then pounces on them. It's funny to watch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-28 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Grace laughed as the tiger swatted at her. "I'm sure he'll be a hunter worthy of being called the King of the Jungle." She looked back at Zoey. "Now...we were going to go see your horse, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn is still carrying Zoey, and heads for the door at the indication. The tiger falls right back in line - Svalin is a master trainer, after all, he's not worried about the tiger going anywhere. "Aye, right this way, lovely Grace." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-28 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"YES! And you can see Tryggvi as well and meet Svalin if she's there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That'd be lovely, lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Still carrying Zoey, Halbjorn heads for the stables. He's pretty sure his sister will be there. If anyone is more regular about their schedule than he is, she'd be it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-28 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Zoey happily rode along in Halbjorn's arms. Giggling at the tiger as he followed and tried to pounce on things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace followed after the pair, laughing at the tiger's antics. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn reaches the stables, opening the main doors. "Svalin, we hath a guest, sister. Zoey hast brought her new friend to see Trygvi and Snowflake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin was in the middle of checking Tryggvi's hooves when she heard her brother call. "I wilt be right there," she said and released Tryggvi's hoof. The horse affectionately headbutted her. "Stop that," she chided. She placed a kiss on the animal's head and left the stall.

"Hail brother and well met. Who ist our guest?" Svalin asked. She was typically dressed her in battle gear, but her face was sweaty and dirty.
