For every season
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.

	"Enter, sister mine," Svalin said as she took one last look at the photo in her hand and placed it on the nightstand next to her bed. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It takes some care but Aridis enters the room bearing both mugs. She notes evidence of --- changes in her sister. Aridis is concerned but will get to that soon enough. "I made hot chocolate for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "Most wonderful. Thank thee," she said and motioned for her sister to sit on the bed. "How fares thee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I recalled the praises thou sang of this treat," Aridis murmurs with a pleased look. She does take a seat looking rather calm. "I art well. We hast had some most interesting battles. Has our brother told thou of them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin sipped her hot chocolate and the smile on her face was bittersweet. She loved hot chocolate, but now it made her think of Jon. "Aye. He didst mention the things thou hast face whilst I wast away. Most interesting battles. I art sorry I missed the battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"What of thee," she asks seeing that look. "I hast seen that thou hast come back... different. What aid can I give thee sister?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"We hast many adventures in many times and places. There wert vampires, knights and I slayed a dragon." Another sip. "We met many interesting people on our journeys." Svalin went quiet for a moment. "Aye. Mine trip changed me, but I art still Svalin, thine sister." She gave Aridis a small smile. "I doth hath a question for thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Aridis smiled broadly. "That ist good. I am glad you enjoyed thine journey. I hope that you made friends. It ist not good to be alone in a crowd of people." Aridis inclines her head after sipping from her mug. "Ask. I wilst answer to the best of mine abilities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, I didst make friends. Vernique and I hath become close. I doth miss her and the rest of mine companions." Svalin tilted her head. "When thou art involved with someone, how doth thee not...get so close? Ist there a trick I doth not know about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That ist... Complicated." Aridis didn't know how to start.

"Thou knowest that I hath slept around a great deal." They all knew it.

"I hath ne'er truly been in love Svalin. I hath always held some affection for whoever I choose to share mine body and bed with. It ist not kind to do so otherwise. One shouldst try to be open to the possibility of love. There ist no true trick to not falling in love though, sister. Not one I hath found."

	"I see," Svalin said and then was quiet for a moment. She looked at her twin. "I fell in love with someone we met on our travels," she admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh sister," Aridis aid with a touch of sorrow. That was indeed bitter news. "I art sorry. That can not be easy. Wast he a fine warrior?" At least she can ask. She has a feeling she won't be able to help Svalin see that man again. And she is assuming it is a man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"It ist not easy knowing I may ne'er see him again," she said. She fought back the tears. She didn't want to cry. "Aye, he was a mighty warrior." She turned and pick up one of the photos from the nightstand and handed it to her sister. "This ist him. His name ist Jon Kent. Known in his world as Superboy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	"It ist better that you knew him though, sister. I know it hurts thee now but it ist better to have known and loved him and not known him at all." She looked at the picture and smiled. "Thou hast a good eye sister. Was he following in his Father's foot steps?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "Aye, he ist," she said. Her voice was thick with emotion. "I doth wish this didst not hurt as much as it doest. It doth feel like there ist a hole in mine chest where mine heart ist without a weapon touching me." She couldn't help it. Tears fell from her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	And so Aridis puts aside her mug so she can embrace her sister.This is a time for comfort; not for talking when words will not fix this wound. "I am sorry. I can not fix this for thee but I will be here for you my twin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin set her mug down and hugged her sister. The tears started in earnest. "It ist not thing fault, but thank thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I know. But I love thee and wouldst rather not see you.... Heart sick." She would take it into herself if she could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin cried for a little longer and then lifted her head. She wiped her eyes and offered her sister a small smile. "It wilt not hurt as much with time, but thank thee sister. I doth love thee." She kissed Aridis' cheek. "I art glad thou art mine twin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Ariis was gentle and made sure to try soothing Svalin. She knew her sister was hurting and wished to be there for her. "As art I. I am proud of thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Why for?" Svalin asked as she picked up her mug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-29 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Because despite everything, you came back stronger than before. Both in body and in mind. It ist worthy of pride," Aridis said with a smile smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-29 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled at her sister. "Thank thee. I must tell thee! I doth lifted Mjolnir!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-30 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Truly?" She can't help but grin. "That is wonderful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-30 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"Truly?" This is a cause for celebration. "This ist wonderful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-30 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "Aye, truly. Father didst give me the choice of where I wanted to be. I picked Migard because I didst want to see thee and the others, but I wilt do mine duties to Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-30 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"I art grateful you chose to come here. There is much I still wish to learn here and there is much good we can do here." She clasps Svalin's shoulder. "I know thee sister you wilst not fail in your duties. Not now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-30 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"Migard needs hope as much as Asgard doth." "Thank thee for thine faith. Now, tell me what thou hath been up to in thine personal life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Aridis giggles softly. "I hath been seeing a young actor. His name ist Jason. He does not get much work in actual acting but does the work of a.... Stunt double? His sword work needs improvement."

Her eyes twinkle in amusement. "But he ist good at what I sought him out for. It ist not serious or else I may hath introduced him to our brother so that he may learn a thing or two of how our people dight. Our brother ist a good teacher, you know. Friend Griffen hast turned from just a scholar into a warrior from his help."

	"Aye. Halbjorn ist a good fighter. I wouldst like to meet him if thou wouldst permit." "Mayhap he doth know someone who canst help me learn to use my Bat'leth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldst like that," Aridis smiles. There is a sense that Aridis may be fond of this Jason. "He might. It ist an unusual weapon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ris a fine name for your weapon," Aridis says after testing it out in her mind. An awesome name she all but said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-30 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded and then finished off the last of her hot chocolate. A yawn escaped her. She had been feeling more tired than usual and she attributed it to trip-lag. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-30 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Art thou tired," Aridis asks curiously. Svalin did seem to be well, sleepy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-30 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin said. "I didst not sleep much during our adventures. Mayhap I art still recovering." Svalin knew it could be due to another reason, but she wasn't going to bring it up. "Mayhap I wilt nap." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2011-01-30 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"A sound idea." Aridis had no reason to think Svalin might be with child. Their mothers had explained many things to them after all. "Then I will allow thee to do so. Rest easy, sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-01-30 02:27 am UTC (link)
