A Night's Rest
Apparently fighting off vampires and cultists earned a person a stay at the city's palace. The local king was most appreciative of having his city emptied of the vampires and cultists and had invited the Avengers along with Red Sonja and Conan to stay for the night in his palace.

Svalin cared not where she stayed, only that she had a place for Tryggvi and someplace to sleep. Hard or soft, it didn't matter. She was used to sleeping on the ground as much as she was used to sleeping in a bed. The girls were shown to one suite and the guys to another. In the middle of the room that connected to the two bedrooms was a large bathtub put into the floor. Servants filled it with steaming water. The same was in the guys' room. They were all expected at dinner in two hours.

Svalin carefully checked her weapons and equipment and laid the out one by one on a table in the room. Getting clean was not the highest priority for her.

	"Ohhh, Baths! Beautiful, hot-watery things! Svalin, what are you doing? Can't those wait?" Vernique was perplexed. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I art checking mine weapons. Ist there something I should be doing instead?" Did she forget to do something? All the vampires were dead along with the cultists. Tryggvi was stabled and had been fed. All that was left was checking her weapons and equipment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, dinner's in two hours. It's going to take me at least that long to get decent. I really think the weapons can wait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Two hours to get ready for dinner? The thought perplexed Svalin. How could one need that much time to bathe and dress? Mortals were most strange in their customs. She nodded her head and gave in. She could see to her weapons after a bath. "I wilt bathe now at thine insistance." She set her sword down and started to undress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I appreciate that." And then there's a little sigh as Vernique sinks into the water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie cleaned up, got dressed, grabbed his shield, and made his way down to the local tavern. "Hey," he said, grabbing a seat next to Ryan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin had returned to the lush palace gardens after dinner. The food had been most delicious and abundant. There had been meat, potatoes and vegetables. Her brother would have enjoyed the meat and potatoes, not so much the vegetables. Svalin missed him and her other siblings. She looked up at the stars overhead. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hail and well met, Eli of the Eternals," she said with a smile. There may have been the slightest blushing at the compliment. "I art well and thank thee." She bowed her head once. "How fares thee? Thou didst very well in the battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely something I will leave to you proper fighters," Vernique said as she came back out into the garden with her glass of wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli turns to face Vernique and now his smile brightens even more as he sees her. "Hello, Beautiful Flower. You look beautiful this evening. You fought well today. Are you all right?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After leaving the gardens Svalin headed for the stables to check on Tryggvi. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin turned at the sound of someone entering the stables. She nodded once when she saw Ryan. "Hail and well met, Ryan Spector." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Hey, it’s nice to see you too, Svalin,” Ryan said with a smile, “And you can just call me Ryan if you want. That’s a very cool, er,” he said trying to think of what exactly to call the winged horse before finally settling as saying, “Horse you have there.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "Thank thee," she said. "His name ist Tryggvi." Svalin ran fingertips lightly over the velvety nose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Well he’s a very handsome horse,” Ryan said, “Though I must admit I don’t know much about horse or ones with wings.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
