A Little Practice
The training room at the Defender's compound had been designed to withstand all that the inhabitants could dish out. Today Svalin was inside and pushing the room and the program to its limit. The enemies she faced were just holograms, but force fields gave them the ability to hit and be hit. It also allowed the creation of unlimited enemies at unlimited power levels.

Sweat ran down Svalin's face and soaked her clothes. Her arms felt heavy and Vigfrior seemed to weigh more as time passed. She didn't know how many enemies she had face or how long she had been in the room, but she didn't feel like she was ready to stop just yet.

A troll charged at her and she ducked beneath the swing of his club and jabbed at the back of his kneed with the end of staff-Vigfrior. The troll stumbled and Vigfrior shifted into a war hammer and Svalin brought it down on the back of the troll's head. The troll went down and Svalin spun on a heel and swung the hammer at the troll that had been coming up behind her. It connected with the thing's stomach and it doubled over. Svalin spun the hammer around and brought it up in an upswing connecting with the troll's chin. The thing was lifted off its feet and went sailing through the air.

With the brief pause Svalin glanced over at the control room. Solver's carrier sat on a shelf next to the control panel and he was fast asleep sitting inside of it. Svalin smiled and turned back to a new batch of enemies.

	Vernique sashayed into the control room, running to quietly over Solver for a moment. "Hey, hon," she says over the intercom. "We've got visitors." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin lopped off the head of a troll and then gave the command to end the program. She sheathed her sword and headed toward the control room. She was wiping the sweat from her face with the back of an arm when she entered the control room. "Who ist here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled. "It wilt be good to see thine father again," she said. Svalin respected the man as a warrior and enjoyed talking to him about battle and adventures. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth enjoy talking with thine father about his adventures." Svalin eyed her wife with some suspicion. This sounded like a setup of some sort, but Svalin stayed quiet on the subject. "Mayhap. Shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-01-09 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique smiles as she gathers up Solver and off they head to another part of the compound. "And here's the Little Guy!" Paladin says cheerily as he comes over. "Good to see you, Svalin. You're certainly keeping on your toes," he said, noting that she's working fresh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist a pleasure to see thee again, Mr. Denning," Svalin said and respectfully bowed her head to him. "Art thou in town for business?" Svalin asked hopefully. Maybe he would invite her to go along with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin grinned. "I art looking forward to it. I wilt inform Sarah that we wilt have thee and thine men joining us for dinner."

Svalin hardly noticed the other two men until now. Both were tall, for mortal, both over six feet tall and one was even close to Svalin's height. Both had the look and body language of warriors. Svalin wondered what kind of tales they could tell.

	"But where are my manners?" Vernique says after nodding. "Nolan, Rory, this is my wife, Svalin. Svalin, these are Nolan and Rory. They work with Dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-01-10 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"Nice to meet you, ma'am," Nolan said with a nod of his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rory nodded in turn and smiled. "Don't do anything by halves, do you, Vernique? Heard a lot of nice things about you and the kid, ma'am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-01-10 12:48 am UTC (link)
	Svalin returned the nod to Nolan. "It ist a pleasure to meet thee." She turned to the second guy. She returned the nod and while her head was down she looked up at him. He did have a nice smile and Svalin found herself giving him a small one in return. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pal says this place has got some pretty impressive workout equipment. You all done for the day, or could I be intrusive and ask for a try after supper?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course she would! I interrupted her a minute ago, so she's hardly all exercised out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin looked at her wife and raised a brow. Her wife was up to something. She knew it. "It wouldst be mine pleasure to show both of thee the training room if thou hath the time." She looked at her father-in-law and Svalin knew the man wouldn't pass up more time with his grandson. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Long as Solver gets to hang out with me, the boys can do what they like," Paladin said as he picked the little guy up. Vernique just smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nolan smiled. "I'll take that as we have the time," he said. "I'm looking forward to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Solver may try to fly," Svalin warned Paladin. "He hath discovered he cans do it and wilt try at e'ery chance he canst get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fortunately, I got him a harness." Vernique hands it over to her dad. "Navigating him in three dimensions can be tough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds like he's keeping you two ladies busy," Nolan said as he tickled a spot on the baby's belly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If thou all wilt excuse me, I wilt inform Sarah there ist company for dinner." With that Svalin gave each of the men a nod and went to talk to Sarah. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They do. And when dinner happens, it will be accompanied by Paladin's rather rousing story of their recent mission in the pacific. Vernique may, in fact, make knowing eyes at Nolan and Rory a little when their parts in the operation are touched on. After the food is finished and the dishes are put away, Vernique beams and leaves her dad with the baby. (Reply to this)(Parent)
