Honoring the Heroes
The Great Hall of Odin is awash with people and noise. The fallen heroes have been honored and it was now time to celebrate their victory. It was also time to celebrate the acts of courage and bravery in the heat of battle. Mead flowed freely and the tables were pregnant with food of all kinds.

Stories about the recent battle were exchanged as well as stories of previous battles. Songs passed down through time were sung as well as new ones.

The air was light and merry and it was a festive time in Asgard.

	His expression darkens. "Mayst I speak freely, sister?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thou'rt a leader, thy people look to thee for guidance. Brood on thine own time. Aye, thou hath failed once... but this ist NOT thy party. Tis Asgard's. A victory was won, people hath lost loved ones, boon companions... they need something to celebrate. There wilt be many days for Svalin Sifsdottir to think of Svalin Sifsdotir... there art but few days we art all Asgardians united in victory. Thou hast health, thou hast a blooded blade, thou hast most of those close to thee to drink with thee. Be a leader in peace as well as war, and raise a cup to yesterday, for there mayst be no tomorrow. Thou'rt a princess and a commander... Asgard's victories shouldst be thine as well."

	"I art not brooding," she said. "I hath raised cups to celebrate and honor Asgard's heroes. Mayhap I art not loud or boisterous enow for thee, but 'tis my nature to be reserved." One of them had to be the responsible one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou hast not yet raised a toast, and thou'rt avoiding thy reserved place near the center. I doth not ask that thou be as I wouldst, but if the people art to follow thee in war, they shouldst know thou'rt proud of their service, proud to be among them. E'en Aslief looks to be in finer spirits than thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, thou art correct. I hath yet to raise a toast. I wilt correct that anon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He sighs. "Tis not simply that, sister. These people look up to thee. And they shouldst. We hath much to face, dark times layeth ahead. Enjoy this night, if not for thineself, that so many hath more days ahead to enjoy. If thou shouldst allow thyself, I am sure there ist yet a smile in thee, or thou wilt find one in the bottom of thy cup, when it hast been emptied a time or two more."

	"Thou'rt almost impossible to satisfy, brother," she grumbled before finishing off the last of her mead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nods. "Aye, I hath the easy job. I told thee, mine job ist to die in thy service. None expect me to do more than roar and look fierce before I find myself with one too many holes in mine chest to keep breathing." he responds with good cheer.
"Tis to thee to lead... but that ist as much in peace and celebration as war. Truth, I am in no mood to party either, the smell of so much blood drives me nigh to madness yet. If I couldst move so quickly, and father wouldst forgive me, I wouldst be on the hunt for two-legged, armed prey tonight. But I must needs be here, so I make the best of't. Thou shouldst as well."

	"Aye, I shall. I doth seem to be out of mead." She peered into her cup. "Canst I get thee more?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye, thou canst, we shalt share in a cup of mead, and toast to one another and a chance to return to our passions in other times. And then thou wilt leave thy ailing brother to whate'er comely nursemaids wish to offer him sympathies whilst thou go and find thy peers and share a few more drinks and tales and jokes of the blackest nature and whate'er else the night hast in store for thee."

	She didn't expect less of her brother. He loved mead and women almost as much as battle. She was surprised he wasn't trying to push warriors at her to share her bed. "I wilt return with mean anon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He darkens some when she moves on. He loves his mead and wenches, but they're crutches, like a lot of things. Something to use his energy on. Right now, the recent battle, and the fact he can still smell it, almost taste it, combined with barely even being able to move is driving him to distraction. But for Svalin, he'll put a good face on it and pretend he's enjoying this, or that he could even do anything with a wench if he had one without a few more days of recovery.

He just wishes she could find some joy in all of this.
