Svalin knew she'd have a hard time dealing with the events of the solstice and had avoided sleeping for a few days afterward. Even she needed to sleep at some point and she had finally drifted off. The nightmares started almost instantly. She didn't dream of dying. That never scared her. She dreamed of what happened after Nidhogg killed her.

The world burned and her son was responsible. He ruled Migard and Asgard with such brutality and such destruction. Solver stood over her while she knelt on the ground in surrender. His dual maces came up to strike her and Svalin screamed.

	"Aye," Svalin said. "It ist not so much the dying, that ist easy to deal with, but having to watch Migard and Asgard being destroyed by mine son ist too much to bear." The smile faded from her face and tears welled up in her eyes. They spilled down her cheeks and shudder shook her body. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thou knows the young lord shall never do such a thing," He removed one hand from her shoulder and sat down beside her, the remaining hand moving to wrap around her shoulder as she began to cry.

It felt wrong to see the lady cry, but he pulled her closer. "Aye, great destinies may end in great harm, but he hast thee. And Lady Vernique. I doth not think that between the two of ye, he shalt be anything less than the finest protector of both realms." He tried to give her a comforting look. "Dreams, milady, nothing more. Only sent to trouble thee."

	Svalin leaned into him, seeking warmth and the physical contact of another living person. She didn't believe it. Solver could be the destroyer of two worlds instead of their savior. "I pray to the All-Father that thou'rt correct," Svalin said after the crying abated a bit. For being the goddess of hope, Svalin had little of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He held her close throughout as he thought the same thing she was. Brandr gave her a small smile as he voiced the thought. "Thou'rt living up to thine title, my lady Goddess of Hope. Ist it a new duty of mine to be the optimistic one now?" He teased her just slightly. He hadn't exactly fulfilled the duty he'd been brought here for. The one related to this solstice situation...which made him feel even worse about it. Lady Vernique had turned down his offer of resignation, he hadn't wanted to leave but after a failure like that, he had to offer it. She deserved the option of choosing someone else to fulfill this duty.

	"Nay," she argued. "How canst I giveth hope to others when I hath none mineself." She stayed close to Brandr. The warmth and support he offered was just what Svalin needed. The nightmares were horrible and almost too much for her to bear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thou wilt find it. Titles such as those are not given without reason behind them. If thou ist and shalt be the Goddess of Hope, then it ist thine fate to one day hath some and spread it," he reassured with a more somber expression, and believed every word he said. "That ye doth not have it just now doth not mean it shall ne'er come."

He leaned his head against hers, keeping his voice in low soothing tones as he spoke into her hair. "And it ist mine duty to take some of thine worries away so ye may focus on the rest." Though he felt guilty saying that one, especially since he hadn't lived up to that duty just recently despite his best efforts. Failure had not come to him before like this, but if the Ladies kept him on then he wanted that chance to show he could fulfill his own duties.

	Svalin lifted her head and looked at him. "Thou'rt wise beyond thy years, Brandr Fandralsson. Thank thee." Svalin's eyes closed as she dropped a light kiss on his mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And thank thee milady," he bowed his head slightly to her with a smile again. He returned the light kiss with a firmer but affectionate one of his own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin smiled when the kiss ended and regretted the fact that it did end. "Thou'rt one of the kindest men I doth know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin blushed. "Thou doth hath the sweet tongue," she said. "It ist not me." "I doth appreciate the comfort." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gave her a soft smile. "And it ist mine pleasure to be of comfort to thee, milady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin leaned in and kissed him again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pulled her in to return the kiss. He was glad to see she was feeling better, and he'd never turn down a kiss from the lady. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin deepened the kiss, craving the warmth and contact. It had been two and a half years since she had even thought about getting close to another man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returned it in kind. This was new territory for him, duty was usually duty alone, and that was it. But he had no complaints about this change. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin put a hand on his cheek as she kissed him. This was nice and just what she needed right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-07-04 12:50 am UTC (link)
	It wasn't exactly where he saw things going when he'd first heard her scream, but this was marked improvement, and one he liked. His own hand tangled in her hair as they kissed and he had to say he didn't quite want it to end. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-07-04 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Svalin was a little surprised he didn't pull away, but she'd never complain. She rather liked this and liked it enough that her kisses got a little more demanding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-07-04 01:31 am UTC (link)
	He'd point out that he had no reason to pull away, and why would he right now? But he of course wouldn't break anything off to voice those thoughts. And while mixing duty and pleasure was rather new to him, demanding kisses were not, and he reciprocated in kind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-07-04 01:34 am UTC (link)
	The kiss ended and Svalin smiled. It made her happy that he returned her kisses with equal intensity. "Thou'rt a wonderful kisser, Brandr Fandralsson. Though I doth suspect that thou hath oft heard such." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt much skilled in flattery," she said as she blushed. "Wilt thou consider sharing mine bed this eve?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He paused then gave her a wide smile. Straightforward perhaps, but he couldn't say that was ever a bad thing in these matters. "It would be mine pleasure, milady. And hopefully thine too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-07-04 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled and relief flooded through her. She had feared that he would refuse. "Of that I doth hold no doubts," she said and kissed him again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
