Welcome to the Defenders, Brandr. Hope You Survive the Experience (open)
They returned to Migard and Svalin and Vernique got Brandr settled into a room. When he had his things all put away, they started the grand tour of the grounds. First stop was the main house. Hopefully some of the Defenders were around to meet him.

Iona had kept mainly to herself for days now. She had returned to Midgard, to the Defenders compound - and had stayed there and stayed mostly on her own ever since. But even she had to come out for food every once and while and she froze, caught with a plate full of food ontop of a bowl of popcorn when she saw Svalin and Vernique...and...someone new.

"Hail and welcome home..."

Having never been to Midgard before, he'd packed the same things he'd brought back from his last post. Which, unfortunately, had been in the farther reaches of the realm where it never seemed to be anything but cold. Hence the thick clothing, layers, and the furred cloak.

He was really not prepared for L.A.

But at least these Midgard residences were quite impressive. Though this was the first of the residents he'd met. "Hail and well met Lady Iona," he smiled with a small bow. "Aye, my duty ist to protect the young lord and milady here. You need not worry, I shalt not be in thine way."

	"Thank thee for the offer," he nodded politely. "But what ist that food? Some type of corn and..." He can't say it looks particularly appetizing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He almost says this great North American convention was looking less edible than troll trail mud but...on duty. He had to keep it on the more polite side.

"I hath never had neither this corn nor the 'chocolate'. But Hjordis hath recommended it to me. I expected...something...different?"

At Kael's entrance he stops. Then instantly makes note of where the door nearest to the path to Solver would be and places himself in a position so he's in between the dark elf, the door, and Vernique if he can. His sword hand rests discretely on the hilt of one of his swords, mostly hidden by his cloak.

"Greetings." Was this a test? Bringing in a particularly large dark elf who was also a prince? He should have expected it. Duties were never doled out quite so easily.

	An Aesir playing at subtlety? Kael almost wanted to laugh Almost. "Take your hand from your blade, Aesir. I am unarmed, as you can see. I am a guest of the Defenders due the political climate of my people. I will not insult them by starting a fight, but I will no have a blade drawn against me either." Kael turns to Iona in concern. "Lady Iona?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He glances to Svalin for confirmation this was indeed not an enemy. But still, it did well to be prepared. He'd never met a dark elf like this.

"I wouldst not do thee the disrespect of drawing mine blade Prince Kael." His hand moves from the hilt and instead he rests his elbow casually on the pommel, using it almost as an arm rest, and shows his hands in an 'I'm unarmed' sign. "I art here to fulfill mine duty of protecting young lord Solver and the Lady Vernique. It simply does well to be cautious in the face of the unexpected. Whether they may appear unarmed or not." He would ask about this dark elf later, no reason to draw his blade when both miladies were unthreatened.

	A Marlow popped in to see what the fuss was about. Her illusion gazed at them curiously and with some disappointment. Why did only Asgardians ever showed up? And they never went anywhere else. Well, at least there would be more fangirls to practice on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-09-28 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	She hadn't quite gotten the illusions to talk yet, so Marlow transported herself in to say hello in person. The illusion faded as soon as she appeared. "Hi, Vernique." She turned curious eyes to Brandr. "Take really good care of Solver. If he flies to high, let me know and I'll catch him. I have a butterfly net spell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough. Word of advice, don't underestimate Midgard's dangers. It has threats that could humble even the Aesir. Excuse me," Kael says as he moves to the refrigerator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow thought that maybe the new Asgardian wouldn't be too bad. He seemed nice. He probably would save kittens in trees, too. And he spoke directly to her. That was a change. She kind of shrugged, grinned and decided to check the cookie jar while she was here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brandr notices the brief exchange between the women but looks away and says nothing about it. It wasn't his to pry. Instead he moves on and changes the subject. "Does the 'chocolate' always look like it was on Lady Iona's...pop corn?" Surely this couldn't be the delicacy Hjordis was recommending. Or at least there must be a more appetizing version. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-09-30 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Nay. Chocolate cometh in many forms." Svalin went to a cupboard where she knew some chocolate was kept. She grabbed a few truffles and then offered them to Brandr. "Try these." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Brandr takes on and examines it curiously. It didn't look too appetizing but then again, he didn't know much about this sort of Midgard food. So he pops the truffle into his mouth for a taste.

It was...quite good. And far different from what he expected. He takes another truffle. Hjordis had been right, this was a Midgard delicacy.

Just to be sure this wasn't a one-time effect. He had to check.

"I like this...chocolate. It shouldst be made in Asgard."

	"It makes a really good present for birthdays and holidays too." Marlow thought it would be good information for him if he lasted long enough to be here for Christmas. "And we give out lots of it for Halloween. People come on buses just to see our decorations and get candy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2012-10-03 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	That was interesting. "There art occasions on Midgard nearly exclusively for the consumption of this chocolate?" He'd clearly underestimated its importance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-03 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Candy in general," Svalin said. "Halloween ist about dressing up in costumes to get candy out of people." (Reply to this)(Parent)
