Father-Daughter Time
Avery followed the directions from his GPS to the mansion, not sure what he was expecting. The place was huge, he knew, but what he could see from the gate was....epic. There really wasn't another world for it.

He'd called ahead to let Sydney and Zoey know he'd be coming, but he still wasn't sure what to expect when he pulled up to the front gate. He didn't see any dragons or, heavens forbid, any Mongolian Death Worms, but one never knew with these types, did they?

He just hoped Zoey was still interested in being around him even after all the awesome she was currently surrounded with.

	"Oh, of course it's Eyhvatr." Avery says, having no issue pronouncing the name. "But maybe next time, kiddo. I kind like my hand where it is. You know, attached to me." He laughs nervously. "Where's your mom?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He won't bite." To demonstrate Zoey wrapped her arms around the tiger's neck and scratched behind his ears. The tiger had a look of pure pleasure on his face. The two dogs sat near by wagging their tales. "She's in the kitchen," Zoey answered. "I can take you in there!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Take me to your leader." he says, speaking in alien monotone for a moment as he follows Zoey. He still can't get over the tiger not trying to eat the girl, but maybe this Halbjorn guy knows how to train a tiger.

I'll make sure to call him when I need my tiger trained. Avery thinks.

Avery sees Sydney and offers her a smile. "Hello. So...are you sure there are no Mongolian Death Worms around? We've got tigers already, and there's at least one flying horse on the premises, right?" he asks.

	Syd returned the smile. "Hi. Not right now. Svalin and Tryggvi are in New York with the Avengers for awhile. So we're down to two dogs, a tiger and a horse. And thankfully no Mongolian Death Worms." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll go get my backpack!" Zoey said and ran out of the room with the animals following. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles, watching Zoey run out of the room, then looks back to Sydney. "Okay, so Zoey and I are going to have lunch, then see 'How to Train Your Dragon'.If there's time, I may take her to the park, and then bring you home an exhausted six-year old." he says. "That sound okay?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-30 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Sydney nodded. "She'll love it," she said. "But she won't be exhausted. You will be." Syd was totally talking from experience. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Around that time Aridis pokes her head in. "Sydney. Doth thou know where there ist some more of that pie Lady Sarah baked earlier today?" Aridis is in the mood for a snack. Some pie should work out quite well for her. She just has noticed sometimes food just wanders off here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery is about to dispute Sydney's assertion of Zoey's endurance when the new face wanders in. He offers the woman a smile, but notices her speech pattern immediately. So this is where Zoey's picking it up from. "Hi. I'm Avery Crittenden." he says, starting to extend a hand to shake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think Ohu found the last of the pie," Syd answered. Which meant that there wasn't any left. "Aridis, this is Avery, Zoey's father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well met," she greets before clasping his hand. "I art Aridis Thordottir. It ist good to meet thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-03-30 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Well met, milady." Avery says, bowing slightly. Why did I just do that? He stands up and offers Aridis a bigger smile. "So, you're a friend of Sydney and Zoey? That's excellent. How is your night going, aside from Ohu eating all the pie?" Avery got the feeling Ohu ate the last of a lot of things from Sydney's tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are in luck though. Sarah made another pie and hid it from Ohu." Syd opened a cabinet and pulled out a wrapped pie. The hiding spot where they hid stuff from Ohu changed about three or four times a day. It was the only way they managed to get baked goodies after Ohu. She placed the pie on the counter. "Enjoy."

"It ist a good day. I hath found some new things to take up mine time between battles nd training," Aridis says trying not to linger on that for long.

"You do not need to bow to me Avery. I have no desire to be treated as if I am better than anyone else," she says after a moment coming back to the present so to speak.

Sydney gets a wide smile. "She ist a most crafty chef. I shall give her my thanks."

	"That's good to hear." he says, remembering that he likely was not talking to another mortal, but a goddess. How did Zoey and Sydney keep up each day? "It was nice to meet you, Aridis. I hope I'll see more of you." he says, before turning back to Sydney. "Is there anything Zoey shouldn't have or is allergic to?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will pass your thanks on to Sarah when I see her," Syd said with a smile. "She takes very good care of us." "Sugar. Candy. Soda. Junk food. She's not allergic to anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to know. I'll make sure only to get her a bit of popcorn." then, he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow wandered through and stopped to smile at the stranger. "Hello." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery turned and smiled at the newcomer. "Hi there. I'm Avery." He extends a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Avery is Zoey's dad," Sydney explained. "He's getting the meet and greet today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She scrutinized his hand before taking it in a brief touch. "Marlow. It's nice to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery wonders if he's accidentally offended the woman by offering a hand shake. He's only met two of the many people who live here. "Yes, I'm getting to know everyone in Zoey's life, and it's been enlightening so far." he says neutrally. "Did you come looking for pie, too? I hear Ohu's not around." he says, trying a joke.

	Clearly, someone has not heard of the power of pie. "Pie?" he says, ducking his head around a corner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-31 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Do you have the kitchen monitored or something?" Syd asked. She was beginning to believe just that seeing how Ohu always showed up when food was brought out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery felt bad, suddenly. He'd said the words and Ohu showed up out of the ether. Now Aridis and the rest of the house wouldn't get any pie. "You're the famous Ohu, then?" Avery asks, turning to extend a hand. "I've heard a little bit about you." he says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
