#svala-interactions-viktor

Viktor had invited Svala to release some steam she had been keeping inside. After she had revealed everything too him about the woman that had snuck into her office and the list Henryk had given her and now that Jakovan had it seemed right to accept to not worry for once. Viktor could read her about as well as her family and he could tell she just needed a moment. Because she did.

She rode astride her horse catching up to Viktor and shaking her head at him, “you shouldn’t push him so hard.” She smirked, before tilting her head, “what exactly are we hunting for today?” Her back straightening more as she slowed to a walk, her bow and quiver slung across her back. “I suggest boar, maybe a feast would stifle the growing worry in the court?” Her brows raising gently. “just be sure it isn’t a Petrov boar.” She smirked, “Jakovan wouldn’t take kindly to you taking advantage of his family’s livestock for an easy kill.”

Svala knew this was customary when weddings took place within the courts. It only prepared them for the day that Tatiana would wed really and yet somehow she still found it flashier than usual for the Night Court. “You never can expect what they are going to do next can you.” She smiled sliding in beside the high lord. “If it wasn’t for your sister I’m fairly certain I would have been the most undressed person here.” She chuckled taking a drink from her glass as her eyes watched the fae that danced. Widening with interest and then settling to investigate the sorroundings.

She put on a brave front, she wasn’t one for weddings but being at this one made the fact that Tatiana would be in these circumstances soon. It made her nervous and her throat dry, so she took another drink to steady herself. “I hope we can only give Tatiana a rivaling extravaganza. I’m sure she is taking notes for herself.” She chuckled before eyeing her dear friend, “have you been enjoying yourself at least? Not staying too caught up in your thoughts, I hope.”

Svala shook her head at Viktor and smirked, “we don’t really have time for games. I do believe you have enough on your shoulders without worrying about sparring with me.” She shrugged, “but I’m not one to turn down a challenge.” She said sighing and putting down the clothes she had been mending from preparing others for what may come their way. She had been away from Viktor and Tatiana for a while now seeing over her own homestead. Svala was a warrior at heart but her family’s safety, including Viktor and Tatiana came first always with her.

Preparing those at home though had become a priority for a couple weeks after she requested the time away from the court. Now with her return Viktor was wanting to spar? As if her journey and the immediate start of training soldiers wasn’t tiring enough. “Well, choose our weapons then while I finish this patch and name the terms.” Her brow raising as she went back to her work. “We can discuss future plans while I teach you that a weary soul is not to be underestimated.”
