You know that feeling, when someone is supposed to be home at a certain time, and they are not? How it gets worse, the next day, and you have checked every logical explanation for where that person may be--

And they are still not there?

So, if anyone might know where Archie may be- since he did not come home last night after his shift, and there were no notes in the Security Office- if they would please tell the panicking former Valkyrie.

Or, you know- finding out that he is missing also works.

She puts her hands on her hips (at least she still has them).

"Why?"

"... its Tradition. But I didn't tell him. Hel did."

"What kind of tradition?"

"From Midworld. The vikings." Svava smiles wryly, humorlessly.

"The groom, before the wedding, goes out on a quest to find one of the swords belonging to his ancestors."

"...Well. How curious."

"... Hel told him. I didn't." Eyes on her hands now.

"Was I wrong, for that?"

"Depends on why you didn't."

"I thought I had lost Archie- not once, but twice. I didn't want to risk him again." She shakes her head slowly.

"Things are different here, so... I thought it wouldn't need to be done."

Bianca thinks that Svava should have told him, but she has Marius' lies echoing in her head and doesn't say a word.

Svava looks up at Bianca, eyes still worried.

".. Either way, what I should have done or no- he's gone, now. And my duty to wait for him, until he returns."

"Do you want some company?"

"..... please?"

"As long as I can sit."

Svava blinks, looking back to Bianca-

And not that she did not notice the other woman's state, it just did not quite register.

"... But you should be sitting- I am sorry."

Bianca gives her a wrily amused look.

"I didn't know." She smiles faintly, standing to get a chair for Bianca. "How long?"

"Five months. We are staying in Haven at the moment, so time moves faster there then here."

"So it will happen sooner." She nods at that. "At least for us here."

"Exactly. Times three time."

"So... A month for here, perhaps?" Svava blinks, eyeing Biana.
