From the back door storms the Valkyrie. Its been wet and cold and rainy and overall miserable outside- all the better for trying to work off a temper. And given Ace's good advice, she's totally forgotten she's wearing the space agey red and black armor.

What? It fits well and she can move around easily. You're not going to make her self-conscious of it again, are you?

Mwaha.

Anthy staaaares.

Svava doesn't notice right away. To the bar, getting a towel for her hair, drapping it over her shoulders and then ordering a cup of hot chocolate. With a bit of a grump, she still manages to thank the bar when it appears, and she turns around to look at the room, taking a sip.

Then she spots the staring Anthy. A blink.... and a bit of a wave to her.

~~Though Svava's seax blade is worn across her back, and is not in her clevage, say thankya.~~

Anthy blinks back, and then cautiously returns the wave.

"Nice armor," she says, after a moment.

~~Silly Svava. Breasts are for weapon-storage!~~

"... oh." A bit of a sigh, and Svava looks down at the outfit. "You remember, we found this with all the other clothes in the wardrobe?" She shrugs, and sips her hot chocolate. "I left my other armor in Nevada, I really need to write a letter to Kitt and PeeJee and see about getting it back."

"Oh, right." She has not stopped staring. "Well, it looks . . . comfortable."

Funny how familiar the armor looks. Anthy's sure she's never seen it before in her life, aside from in the wardrobe.

"Much more than you'd think, at least from how it looks." She nods. "I've been out running around the lake, and if you couldn't test something out that way, I'm not sure how else you could." A faint, rueful chuckle.

"Running around the lake?" Anthy glances at the window, and instinctively reaches for her nice hot tea. "For any particular reason, or were you just testing the armor?"

She frowns faintly, and sips her hot chocolate. "... Working off my temper, and a bit of stress. Thinking. That sort of thing."

"Your temper?" Anthy bites her lip. "Did anything happen . . . ?"

"Just a bit... not happy with a friend of mine." She mutters. "And he's a difficult person to talk to at times."

"Oh dear," she says, vaguely. "Who is it?"

Svava sighs. "Hannibal. He's been staying in the Realm of Delerium." She mutters a bit.

"Hannibal?"

Anthy blinks. "Oh, the saber-toothed tiger? Well, he seemed happy . . ."

"And as a giant talking plant, and as a..... four armed... little... Alright, I have no idea what that thing is that he was." Svava boggles.

"A four-armed little . . . ?" Anthy echoes.

"Oh dear."

She reaches for her tea, and drinks a little, frowning thoughtfully. "I wonder if he's ever been a cow?"

"... I don't think he has." Svava just blinks at the idea.

"Oh dear," Anthy says again. At the situation in general or at the sad fact that he's never been a cow? Who knows. She spoons some sugar into her tea, and stirs it gently. "I can see how that would be stressful."

"Well... its not so much that that's stressful." A bit of a sigh, sipping her hot chocolate.

"A good portion of my friends seem to enjoy threatening Archie."

Anthy makes a sympathetic face.

A pause.

"Who's Archie?"

Svava blinks, then blushes faintly, smiling. "Oh. Archie? Archie Kennedy. He and I... are sort of seeing each other? I think that's what they say, isn't it?"

Anthy is a little more careful not to stare at Svava's shiny red chest. "Is it? I don't know. 'Sleeping together'?"

Of course Svava would be taking a sip of chocolate right then. So now she's coughing and sputtering, trying to breath.

"No! ack. No, we're not sleeping.... Anthy!"

Anthy looks at her in confusion, and with a touch of anxiety. "I'm sorry -- I didn't mean to . . . what's wrong?"

"We haven't slept..." Svava blushes. "I'm not allowed.... Its a Valkyrie thing." Hopefully that explains it all.

The confusion hasn't lessened.

"You haven't . . . then what did you mean?"
