Svalin was outside brushing Tryggvi who happily grazed on the grass around the mansion. Master Jarvis had been most helpful in providing Svalin with hay and oats for Tryggvi and brushes to take care of his coat. The day was warm, the sun was bright and it was nice to be outside the building. The air was thick with pollutants and Svalin did notice.

Svalin had never been one to sit indoors much.

Tryggvi side-stepped and nudged Svalin. She pushed back and he pawed the ground. "Stop that," she said. He too was not used to being inactive.

When Natasha retired from S.H.I.E.L.D. she thought she'd have to find things to do to keep her occupied, but it wasn't the case. She had been kept busy enough that she wasn't feeling antsy from sitting in one place for long. Between her family (having four kids and a husband still blew her mind) and the Avengers, Natasha was going nonstop.

Home life had fallen into a routine for a short while until the most recent shake up with Eliza showing up and school ending. Before those the routine was breakfast with the family in the morning, alone time or time at the mansion during the day while Tony was at work and the kids in school, dinner with Tony and the kids and then the evening hours spent catching up on information sent by her nephew. Now they had another person in the house and the kids were home during the day, making things seem a lot busier.

Avenger life had been busy as well. The appearance of Thor's four kids (all same age no less) created quite a stir and has made life more interesting around the mansion. Natasha, Steve and the other adults were trying to get them adjusted to life on Earth and Earth culture. It was a difficult task, though the Young Avengers seemed to be facilitating the process. The mansion was a little short on space and occasionally a temper flared.

The early evening hours found Natasha in the lower levels of the mansion going over the current security protocols and updating the database files with new information. She never minded doing this.
