Svala sat next to Etta helping her meticulously turn her marshmallow so it was perfectly golden brown. Unlike Adrienne, Etta did not like a burnt mallow in her smore. Her brows raised at Adrik and Adrienne as their marshmallow went up in flames. "You two are destructive." She laughed and about that time Etta sounded that hers was done pulled it out of the fire only for it to not be done. Svala leaned in to whisper but was loud enough for Rik and Adrienne to hear, "you know they aren't very patient so this is killing them."

"Hey, those are tears of joy right?" Her brows raised as she stood close to Iris during the ceremony. "You deserve to be happy for this, you raised them both to be good people. Very different people but good people. They're loyalty to you alone makes me question if I'm as devoted to you as I should be." She smiled her brows raising gently, "If you need it I'll hug you after this. I think you deserve one."

She waited her turn to pull Hale aside, all the praise they were getting, she knew she would get a chance. "I have some gifts for you. Congratulatory gifts." She smiled at them, holding out a box, "Not from me. The girls wanted to send you something." She smiled waiting for them to open the box before explaining, "Adrienne wanted to give you one of their practice swords, as a show of your strength and also because she hopes you'll drop by sometime and practice with her. Under supervision of course. Etta sent you a flower crown, she loves making them and believes flower crowns fit the Forest better. She makes them all the time for Iris." She lowered her gaze and shook her head before handing over the envelope, "listen, I didn't need you ripping me a new one because I gave you a shitty gift. I had a really nice dagger necklace picked out but I don't really know what you like so this way you can spend it on whatever you want." Her gaze leveled with their's again, "I'm proud of you, Hale."

It wasn't often that Svala sat out situation like this but with the twins in tow and Adrienne dying to watch the joisting tournament she was more than happy to be a spectator. Etta was with Rik, joisting not really being her kind of event to spectate, Adrienne though was leaned up against the railing her eyes unwavering from the competition in front of her. She smiled when Dom joined them and offered the seat next to her, "Congratulations are in order, but also I'm happy to see you here."

After Nik had returned home everything, for the most part seemed to fall back into place. So adventures with the girls were in order, something to get their mind back to where it belonged. So the giggles as the girls delightfully skipped rocks across the icy surface had the valkyrie smiling wider than she had in a while.

Before long though, Adrienne was up to her usual mischief and throwing snow balls at her sister and then Svala. The three hadn’t noticed the other that had walked up on the snowball fight until Etta’s snow flew threw the air hitting them. Svala’s brows raised at the other and she rushed over slightly breathless and worried, “Are you alright? We didn’t know had an audience.” She smiled hearing the girls giggle and smirking over her shoulder at them before reaching out her hand to the other.

The knife throwing competition had definitely been holding Svala’s interest but seeing Isadora though definitely made it ten times better. She had seen Isadora more times than not in action, but it was always amazing to see her even now. She was amazing and one of the best second in command she could ask for. At times she even missed Isadora. She understood though, and once Isadora had demolished her competition she smiled at the sight, “that isn’t a shocking result. You would easily give several people here a run for their money.”

Training accidents among the Valkyrie’s were not uncommon. Someone always got a little bit more into it than necessary or even just requested a competition. It wasn’t uncommon for Svala to seek out her future daughter in law for healing as a result. She also didn’t want to bother Daphne with something as mundane as a Valkyrie getting a little battle hungry. She winced as she entered the room but it quickly turned into a smile, “it’s not as bad as it looks.” She said with her hand on her bloody shoulder. “Just tapped in the right place is all. I’d rather the Valkyries be accurate than swinging blindly. Don’t tell Nik about this until after I’m bandaged.” 

She didn’t see the need in worrying her son more than necessary. She sat down and removed the bandage she had made for herself and sighed, “how have you been? Hopefully not staying too busy?”

Svala had known Idalis for some time. Seeing her around wasn’t a shock at all but seeing her around when she was dealing with the twins didn’t sit well with her. Especially when they were being a bit rowdy. Her brows raised at the other with a smile, “I’m willing to sell them to you... or even pay you to take them.” Even though she never would, as they clung to her side and quieted down from their argument, “how have you been? Hopefully your travels haven’t been to strenuous.”
