Sitting on the Beach (open to Defenders)
Marlow sat on a blanket on the private beach one morning not that long after the battle with Dormammu, staring out over the waves with her knees drawn up to her chest. She wore a button down shirt Sarah found for her, probably one of Griffin’s, over swimsuit bottoms. The wound she’d sustained from the Mindless Ones laser blasts was healing slowly. It made lifting her arms over her head hurt and pull on the healing flesh, so wearing her own tee shirts was out of the question for awhile.

She really wished she could heal herself. It was by far the worst thing that had happened to her up to now. Even with the odd magic boost, she couldn’t manage the most simple healing spell on herself.

Dawn was in desperate need of a shopping trip. Her separation from Asleif following the battle against Sutur had come as a relief, Asleif's decision to leave and charge her with watching out for her siblings and the others less so. In order to do so, Asleif had empowered her, an act that had left her in what even she would admit was the best shape of her life, but also a good six inches taller and more... built. Along with cramming an immense amount of magic--largely elemental--into her head.

So she was on borrowed and ill-fitting clothes for the moment, until she was ready to face people again on a shopping trip.

"Oh," she said, as she stepped onto the beach. "Didn't know you were out here."

	Marlow blinked up at Dawn. "Do you need to be alone?" she asked politely. The new Dawn was still an unfamiliar entity to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled and shook her head. "Nah, it's fine. Just didn't expect it. How're you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay." She smiled briefly and shifted over on the blanket to make room if Dawn wanted to join her. "You are adjusting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn took a seat next to her. "Managing. Everything's all out of whack and I need to replace practically my entire wardrobe, but... managing." "Glad, in a way," she went on. "Didn't know how I was going to keep hanging around here otherwise. I'd have missed you guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We would still need a keeper," Marlow said with a glimmer of humor. "Sydney does very well, but the Asgardians each need one to make sure trouble doesn't find us /too/ quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That got a grin out of her. "That does seem to happen pretty regularly. Have you checked to make sure this isn't, like, an Indian burial ground, or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There is only nature magic here," Marlow said seriously, still looking at the waves. She glanced at Dawn and saw her smile. "A joke, yes." She shook her head at her own slowness at catching on. "It would explain demons and zombies. Have you begun physical training with Halbjorn? I understood that it would help you adjust to your new form." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn smiled and nodded. "A little bit. Mostly just trying to be glad I didn't wind up dead during the whole business with the scary on-fire people." She watched the waves for a minute. "Still don't know how I'm going to tell my parents about all this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At some point in the day, Titan walks along the beach, stopping every now and again to pick up a stone or two and skip it across the water. His stones skip a good ways out in the ocean before stopping. He smiles when he sees Marlow, looking down at her as she sits on the sand. "Hey, Magic Woman. Was that Bookworm Babe I just saw leavin'?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jenny looked /way/ up and smiled back. Titan cast quite a shadow over her. "Hi Titan. Dawn just left, yes. Sit down and tell me how you got Andy to let you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am resting," she said. "It's nicer out here. If I stay in the bungalow they would think I don't want any company." She looked down at her chest when he asked after her injury. Between not moving around much and conversation with Dawn, she'd managed to forget about it for awhile. "Much better. I don't usually get so close to the bad guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was a little worried about ya. I am glad you're okay, though. If ya need somethin' just holler, okay?" Titan says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-24 01:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks." She smiled up at him. Even seated he loomed over her from where he sat. She still didn't think him scary or alarming. "What else are you doing today besides watching the sunset?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No plans, yet. I thought about takin' a swim when it gets dark later tonight, or maybe some ice cream and then a swim, but it's not carved in stone yet." Titan says. "What about you? Breakin' any hearts later?" Titan asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They seem pretty cool. I'd like to spar with Eltin and Halbjorn sometime, and all the ladies seem nice, even to a big lug like me." Titan says, carrying the bag of goodies. "We didn't, uh, drain the junk food reserves did we?" Titan asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zoey is a cute little midget. I might even give her a piggy back ride or two from time to time. Got a date to play Sorry! with her soon. Should be fun." he says, going inside the bungalow. "Okay, where do I set this stuff?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure it'll be good. I ain't had a bad meal since I been here." Titan says. "I'll get those pillows, but you should probably put the movie in. I don't wanna break any of your stuff by accident. I can be clumsy sometimes." Titan says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. You get comfortable, I'll put in the movie and then I'll mix you up something to drink. Sound good?" She smiled up at him. Playing hostess was still a new experience for her. The only other time she had was with Matt Walker and that wasn't social. "If you're ready for ice cream or popcorn, just let me know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-07-30 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds good." Titan smiles. "Hey, you look great, Marlow." he says.d (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
