Dinner with a friend
Svalin shouldn't have been surprised when Mr. Denning and Rory showed up out of the blue because Mr. Denning loved to see his grandson and Rory was usually with him. Svalin offered to watch Solver if Mr. Denning wanted to go out and spend some time with V, but he said he wanted to stay here and spend time with V and Solver. Rory asked Svalin if she wanted to go out to dinner and she accepted.

Now it was time to leave. She was dressed in a blouse, jeans and a pair of boots her wife insisted would make the outfit.

"Ist there anything thou wouldst like me to bring back?" she asked her wife and Brandr who were sitting in the small living room of the bungalow Svalin and V shared.

	"If it's not too much trouble, hon, we're out of pineapple." A pause, then, admitting. "Again." She was a fruit fiend, okay? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Nay it ist no trouble if Rory wouldst not mind stopping," Svalin said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No trouble at all, ma'am. We'll get some pineapple for you. Is there anything we can get you?" he asked Brandr. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Brandr had no idea who this Rory was, but if he'd caught the eye of Lady Svalin then he must be a formidable warrior or perhaps he was Solver's father. If it was the former then he'd be the judge of just how much of a warrior the man was. Unfortunately it was frowned upon to challenge the suitors of your employer so Brandr puts on his on-duty face and concentrates on being a professional. At the end of the day, that was what mattered.

"Thank thee Lady Svalin but nay, I require nothing," he nods then addresses the same thing to Rory. "I art fine, the offer ist appreciated though." Not that he would've asked if he did need something.

	Svalin nodded. "We wilt see thee anon," Svalin said. With that her and Rory left for dinner and to pick up pineapple. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great! You two have a fun!" And once they've left, she smiles at Brandr. "Really nice guy, Rory." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If he hath wooed Lady Svalin then I shouldst expect it," he nods politely. "Why does he not visit more often?" Because this was the first he's seen, and heard, of the man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, for a given value of woo. He's a lovely dinner companion and a heck of a sparring partner, but nothing serious there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-21 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, I see," he nods, but privately thinks that for someone like Svalin he couldn't see a human being much of a sparring partner. "Doth he see Solver often?" After all, his own father was famous as a swashbuckling adventuring womanizer so the idea of Solver having a father who didn't come around often was not an odd thing to him.

	Vernique blinked. How did Solver come into this. "Only a couple of times. He's one of my dad's employees, and a friend now, not a babysitter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-21 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Clearly there was some miscommunication here. "Apologies, I art simply asking if he comes to see the young lord often. Mayhap his duties keep him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-11-21 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"...I think we're having too different conversations here. My dad, she says, gesturing to Paladin in the next room with the baby," comes to see Solver when he can, and sometimes drags a couple of his operatives along. Via this, Rory and Svalin beat each other up a bit and occasionally have dinner. Rory is distinctly Svalin's friend more than the baby's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-21 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, understandable. A warrior often lacks the time for a family," he nods understandingly. One couldn't fault Rory if he attended his duties as a warrior first over family. He could be faulted for being a mediocre warrior but that was a whole nother thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Since Brandr still hasn't asked rather than assume, Vernique ends up taking that in the wrong direction entirely, and bristles. "My dad, and by extension his operatives, make time for a family when they have one. Just because he isn't baby-crazy doesn't mean he won't do right by his own kids if ever has any." The defensiveness, obviously, is more on behalf of her father by associaitiotn, but she'd stick up for anybody in the face of overgeneralizations.

	Brandr blinks and bows to Vernique. "Apologies milady if I hath offended you. I simply thought that his duties kept him from his son just as mine own father's duties did. I art not looking for fault in his actions," he clarifies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-11-21 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Vernique blinked. "Rory's not Solver's father. That's one of the reasons he and Svalin aren't in a relationship; she had a bit of a crush, but he was too considerate and level-headed to rush things when she was on the rebound from losing Solver's father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-21 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Well that cleared up the confusion of this whole conversation. "Ah. I hath thought otherwise." Brief pause. "It ist good Lady Svalin hast found someone...on her level." Not that he necessarily agrees with the last bit, but whatever made the lady happy he could live with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mhmm. I'ts a shame I'm not up for a proper rotation these days, since they're probably going to stay just friends, handsome guy like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist not my place but...why doth ye say that Lady Vernique? If Lady Svalin ist interested I see no reason why any man shouldst turn her down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-11-21 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Because Lady Svalin does not maintain a rotation. She only maintains that kind of interest in one guy at a time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-21 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"I art aware of that but he ist one man, not many last I checked milady." It seemed simple to him. The lady was interested in this Rory for whatever reason, and he was the only one she held interest for, therefore no reason it should remain only as friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh. Well he wasn't dense but...as much as he might flirt at times, and even though he was interested in the lady...there were duties to consider. She was his 'employer' as some might put it, and he hadn't yet determined if pursuing her would conflict with his duties or be inappropriate.

"She ist a formidable lady and any man would be lucky," he nods a little formally, not really knowing what to say for once. There wasn't a lack of interest but...duty could rear its head at the worst times.

	"Yeah." She noted his expression. "There rules or anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-11-23 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"None ever stated so clearly milady." At least that he'd heard of. And given his mother's position...he was pretty sure he knew most of the official rules. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckles. "Aye milady. I art to protect you and the young lord first, and it it doth not conflict with that, then I am yours to command as you wish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She lifts a foot. "It's a kind of shoe, Brandr. I nearly destroyed a shoe in the process of getting Svalin and Solver's father to have a date alone together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Could they have not managed that themselves milady?" Okay, perhaps not Svalin but surely this warrior could have managed it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
