Anya entered the luxurious suite they had in The Four Seasons Paris and dropped her bags near her bedroom door. She walked over and fell on the couch. Paris was their second stop on their weekend shopping trip. They had spent a day in Milan (Vernique needed Italian shoes), now a day in Paris and then the last day in London. Having a teleporter on call to get them from one city to another in the blink of an eye sure had made traveling easier and allowed more time for shopping.

Shop they did.

Anya had bought a lot in each city and had most of it shipped home already. There was no way she would have been able to carry even half of it. It was a good thing she had gone through her closets before they had left. At least she would have room for it all.

"Okay, Vernique. It's time for you to dish about your adventures. Meet any hunks? Get lucky with said hunks?"

Aridis had stayed back as her sister got used to being 'home'. It was not her way to demand attention from her family. She thought it was best to let them do things in their own time. But it had been long enough. Aridis had decided it was time to see her sister.

She made two very large mugs of hot chocolate and went to seek out Svalin.

"Mine sister. I wouldst speak with thee. Art thou free," she calls just outside the door to Svalin's room.

Imagine Asleif's surprise when she had heard her sister had returned from her travels (farther than she knew though they might have been).  Zooey's contact to tell Asleif had been a pleasant surprise, however, and she had told the girl to pass on to the others that she would be making a brief stop to see Svalin (and perhaps a tea party with the budding young sorceress before she left).

So it was that Asleif found herself outside Svalin's door, knocking.  She intended to make no excuses, though she knew her handling of things was not strictly within what Svalin had set before her.  But she would not be of the lineage of Loki if she did not sometimes seek loopholes.  Her own affairs had overtaken those goals and she had set right what she could.  She apologized not.
