Keep Me Company
Solver had been fed and cleaned and still was a bit fussy, so Vernique had taken him outside for a walk before it was time to put him down for a nap. Let the baby sun god soak up the sun.
She spotted her supersexy brother-in-law. "Halbjorn!" She said cheerfully.

	"So if he's on the up and up, he's... not very observant?" Pause. "Any idea why he's so tall? I mean, I realize most people here are taller than I am, but the elves, of whatever colors, are a little closer to what I'd consider normal size. I'll be careful, Hal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The dark elves art renowned for their illusions and trickery. If he ist telling the truth, then he, and his mother, hath merely encountered someone e'en more duplicitous. Tis their way, and unsurprising. As for his height, I hath no idea... but mixed bloods art common here. He mayst hath some distant Asgardian or giant blood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahhh, okay." She nods, then pauses. "You going to be okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 05:00 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "I wilt be fine. I am simply unused to such cowardly foes. We wilt get to the answers, in time, and I wilt hath blood, one way or another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 05:08 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." She hefts Solver a little as he squirms slightly. "Don't worry, sweetie. If -- aw, let's face it, When the Bad Guys come, Mommyone and Uncle Hal and Aunt Aridis are going to give them a good thrashing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hal reaches out, resting one hand on the child's shoulder for a few moments. "Aye, thou hast naught to worry about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...You feel comfortable holding him, Hal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:00 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Aye, briefly, at least. I wilt be most careful." he replies, reaching out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique'll hand Solver over gingerly, unobtrusively reaching her hands to press against her lower back a little. Whew, her son was heavy for a newborn. Not that this was unexpected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:14 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn hefts his nephew easily, grinning at the baby. "And thee... how'rt thou holding up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"I'm doing just fine. He's a bit fast, from what I can guess, in terms of neurological development compared to the baby books." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:43 am UTC (link)
	"Tis little surprise. Both of his mothers art so intelligent, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 06:45 am UTC (link)
	Vernique giggles. "Why thank you, Hal." She lets herself stretch just a little. "Your dad say when we're going back to Earth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:47 am UTC (link)
	"Nay, but 'ver soon, methinks. I am looking most forward to the return. Twas good to see home, but I am yet enjoying exploring the wonders of thine homeworld." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 06:49 am UTC (link)
	"And plenty of those wonders enjoy being explored, I'm sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:51 am UTC (link)
	He grins at that, getting comfortable enough with holding the baby to bounce him a little. "I try to make it enjoyable, aye. Ist there aught we can do for thee, to make thee more comfortable until we leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"It's just good to talk with you, Hal. Is there anything I'm forgetting about the proper Married Lady schtick around here. Been looking after the baby, been looking terrific in the outfits. Just checking to make sure I'm not overlooking anything they can kick me out of the union for." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 06:59 am UTC (link)
	"Thou'rt taking good care of mine sister and her child. I hath no doubt thou hast seen to her finances and made sure she wilt be taking back sufficient resources to see to all of thine needs... and... kick thee out? There ist no such procedure. Our law wouldst allow thee to divorce Svalin, wert it truly thine wish, but not the other way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique chuckles. "Aye, verily, the Money Stuff will not be a problem. We'll be in the style to which we're accustomed for a very long time. And... I didn't mean legally, actually. I just ... I don't want it to ever go beyond a few stares as people wonder what the heck a mortal's doing here. I've tried to keep up with enough to adjust culturally, but I know how different things are here from what I'm used to, and I don't want to do anything that makes it look like Svalin doesn't know how to pick 'em, know what I mean?"

	He considers that a few moments, then nods. "Then thou wouldst do well to attend the women's council. Thou needst not speak... but tis where most of the laws that pertain not to war or hunting art discussed. Thou couldst learn a great deal, and as a princess of the realm, thou'rt entitled."

	"Very good idea. If there's any more of that before we leave, I'll definitely go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "Ask mine mother, she ist a regular attendee, thou couldst go with her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Great. I'll talk to her. So what about Iona. Are we bringing her back, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "She wishes to see some of Midgard before she ist married." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-10-21 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, we'll definitely make it interesting for her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-10-21 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. She wishest to witness great tales and legendary heroes. If the past years hath been any indication, there shalt be no shortage of stories." (Reply to this)(Parent)
