Happy Anniversary
Svalin had been very busy for the past two days. Vernique and she had traveled to New York to see Dr. Vernard and Mr. Stark to have Svalin's artificial arm attached. It had gone well, though it did take longer than expected due to some complications with the nanites working with her Asgardian physiology. In the end they got it to work and Svalin was able to use it almost as if it were her real hand. They had told her to ease into using it, but Svalin didn't have time. She had a wife and a son to protect.

It was awkward at first, but hours spent using it with her sword paid off and it was almost as if she hadn't lost most of her arm. It even looked exactly like a flesh and blood arm and Svalin couldn't see any difference between her natural arm and the replacement. She spent hours practicing and felt more comfortable with it.

All of her time was not spent practicing, however. There was the matter of her wife and their anniversary to attend to. In Asgard they didn't really keep track of anniversaries or birthdays for that matter, but Svalin knew on Migard these things were important. With that in mind she had made sure she had gifts for her wife to celebrate their marriage a year ago.

Svalin knew her wife loved butterflies and brooches so she had one specially made for Vernique. From Solver her wife would receive a pair of matching earrings.

With gifts in hands, Svalin went to find her wife.

	Svalin blushed a bright red. "Aye. Vernique didst say asking one out for coffee ist a good way to let someone know that you like them. I doth not know if beer wouldst be the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Flattered. And I like you too. You're beautiful, engaging, and a hell of a fighter. But I just can't picture you being comfortable sitting in a little coffee shop and being relaxed. I'd prefer going and doing something casual that you'd enjoy, where you'll be more at home being yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin turned a little redder at the compliments. "Thank thee. I wouldst not mind since it ist the company I art interested in. If thou wouldst prefer beer we canst go for beer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-23 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"I always prefer beer to coffee." he agrees. "And whatever we do, I want you to be comfortable just being yourself, and not trying to figure out how a mortal would do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The heat in her cheeks cooled a little and she nodded. "Thank thee for the consideration." An idea came to mind, but could she be so bold to suggest it? She pondered it for a few moments. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A brow raises at the quiet. "Well of course. But you look like you have something else on your mind. Distracted?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-23 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Nay," she said. "I wast just thinking that we doth have beer at the compound and desserts as well. Wouldst thou be interested?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you're comfortable with that, I certainly am. Yeah, sounds great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-23 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, I art." Svalin smiled brightly and a hint of red touched her cheeks. "It wouldst please me greatly if thou came back with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good. I... ah, kind of promised your wife I'd take things a little slow with you, since there's been so much chaos and all. But hanging out, having a couple beers and getting to know each other better is still being good, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-25 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. She doth mean well and ist looking out for me," Svalin explained. "I doth not have much experience with this kind of thing." The thing with Jon was way beyond the realm of normal. Even by Asgardian standards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-25 06:00 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I know she is. And I totally agree with her. I'd rather take some time, get to know you... seeing as I don't know many Asgardians, even, and see where things go than rush into anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-25 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "I wast not going to invite thee into mine bed just yet, but I wouldst like to kiss thee if it ist permitted." There may have been a small hopeful look on Svalin's face for a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-26 04:29 am UTC (link)
	He can't help but grin a bit at that. "I'd like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-26 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. Was she supposed to kiss him now that she asked, or was there a specific time for it? Migard customs could be confusing at times. Asgardian approaches were a bit more direct. She stopped walking and turned toward him. Thankfully he was almost her height and she didn't have to lean over to kiss him. Her lips brushed against his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-27 01:19 am UTC (link)
	He really had no idea whether she meant now or when they got to their place. He definitely doesn't seem to object to the direct approach. He returns the kiss, gently at first, letting her set the pace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-27 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Svalin kissed him for a few moments more. It had been awhile and she had forgotten how nice it was. When she pulled away she was smiling. "Thank thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-27 05:21 am UTC (link)
	He's likewise smiling when the kiss breaks. "No, thank you, beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-27 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"It wast quite nice," she said. She was definitely looking forward to more kissing. "Shall we go back for those beers? There mayhap be some pie that Sarah baked this morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_wildpack 2012-04-28 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"Beer and baking? I can get behind this plan. Long as I'm with you, though, I think I'm good with a lot of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-28 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Svalin couldn't stop smiling. She enjoyed being with him and he was so nice. "Aye it ist the company that ist the best part. Pies usually last a little longer than other foods since Hal wilt not eat sweets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"His loss. Your brother isn't going to... you know, have any issues with you bringing guys around? I don't know enough about Asgardians to know if he's the overprotective big brother type." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin shook her head. "Nay."

It was the opposite. Hal wasn't too concerned about guys with his sisters since his sisters could handle any man and put them in a world of hurt if need be. Also Hal always said that Svalin needed to relax more and enjoy life. Even she would admit that she was serious almost all of the time.

"I wouldst say he wouldst be glad to see me taking an interest in someone. He hath on many occasions said I need to relax and enjoy life more. He ist also aware of mine abilities to protect and defend myself if need be."

That Hal would be glad to see her taking an interest in someone after knowing how she had felt about Jon was left unsaid.

"I art also older than he. It ist mine duty to look after him."

	"Sounds good then, just figured I'd check. I've heard all sorts of stories on the Avengers and all from your wife's old man. Never know how much is true with him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-28 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"I wouldst love to hear some of those stories. Mayhap the next time he visits I canst get him to tell me. Father oft told us stories of the Avengers and Migard. It wast one of the few times mine brother wouldst sit still." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
