To The Nine Worlds (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

After passing out everyone's drinks she takes a seat next to her husband, "So, do you want to start us off on the toasts my love?"

"Putting me on the spot, eh?" Thorgr asks, after taking a sip of his lemonade. He raises the tankard. "Here's not only to my lovely wife, but to the best friends and battle companions a warrior could ever ask for. Many a young Frijian is taught to rely only on his weapon, but being with you has taught me to be open, caring and other unmanly things that I will certainly be teased for should I ever go home. My home is with you all, whether we are relaxing or fighting. May the gods always smile on you."

Wiping her eyes with a napkin she leans over and gives him a kiss, "If anyone teases you, I'll beat them up. Okay...I guess it's my turn now." Taking a breath to steady herself she begins, "I never imagined when I got on that boat that I would meet the love of my life. When I left Odenheim, I was running away from something. Meeting you and the rest of our wonderful friends, having this child with you....it might have started out as running away, but I ended up running to exactly where I needed to be to meet the one that would change my life in so many beautiful ways. Mere words could never adequately express my love for you, or what you mean to me Thorgr Finnisson...just know that from this day forward, whatever you face, I face with you....always." She ends her toast by giving him another kiss before wiping her eyes again with her napkin.

Jerrica looks around before taking a drink of her ale. "My turn, I guess? Umm, you two are great and have really been there for me. I feel a little less homesick when you're around and you've really saved my butt when it needed saving."

She pauses. "I'm not good at this stuff, but I'm happy for you."

She puts an arm around Jerrica and gives her a little squeeze, "We're really glad you're here with us too, and thank you Jerrica. Your guys support means everything to us since you're basically the only family we have left."

"You know we love you and Thorgr," Jerrica says.

She nods while wiping her eyes again, "Yeah...I know."

Sig raises her glass, her voice ringing out clearly around the room.

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years. May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth."

She blows her nose, "Oh Sig....that was beautiful. Thank you....at some point I'm going to stop crying, I promise. I can't think of anyone that I'd rather share this moment with than all of you." She says before a thought pops into her head briefly that has her smile falter momentarily before she's able to shake off the thought and puts the trembling smile back on her face.

Thorgr puts a hand on Frostine's shoulder. "I know we'd all like to be home, but I couldn't agree more with my wife."

Putting an arm around her husband she leans her head against him, "I am home my love, because wherever you are...is my home."

"Let's finish our drinks and head back," Jerrica says after a second ale.

On her second lemonade still she looks over at Dagmarr, whom she thought must be missing Hel. She wondered if celebrating with them was making her feel worse. Giving Jerrica a nod she sighs a little before looking over at Dagmarr, "Dagmarr....are you okay? Did you want another drink or anything?" She didn't feel sorry for her or anything, but she hoped that Dagmarr knew that they were there for her if she needed to talk.

Looking up from her drink Dagmarr nods. "I'll be fine." she says with a quiet smile.

"I believe it's my turn to toast now," she says raising her drinking horn. "I hallow this horn of mead,To Gods and Goddesses, High and Holy, Aesir and Vanir, First known in the North, Frigga and Woden, Thor and Sif, Freya and Freyr, Balder and Nanna, Disir and Alfar
Bless this Wedding.
Wassail!"

She tries really hard not to cry at the beautiful toast, but she just can't help it. Lifting her tankard of lemonade she takes a drink before setting it down and smiling up at Dagmarr. Trying not to feel like she's sloshing around all over the place she goes to the Cleric and puts her arms around her, "Thank you Dagmarr....for joining us on this crazy quest, for being so much more than just our healer...for being our friend and sister....and...and for being here with us. I'm...I'm sorry, I said I was going to stop crying, but I can't seem to help myself and now...now I feel like a giant water skin that's sloshing all over the place." Letting go of the cleric after giving her a squeeze she tries to get some semblance of control over herself. Looking at the others she says, "I hate to feel like I'm the one breaking up a party....but like Jerrica said, we should finish our drinks and go. I don't think I can get anymore liquid in here if I tried." Going carefully back to her seat she finally finishes her lemonade and slams the tankard down on the table as if she'd just finished the best ale in the world...then laughs a little lightly. Who knew she could feel so much for so many people in such a short amount of time...but with everything they had been through together....this...these people, more than her own blood had ever been....were her family.

Thorgr chuckles and puts an arm around Frostine. "Alright, let's back to Galdur and Bruldora's and see what this surprise is."

Jerrica leans on Sig. "We'll need some time before we think of getting married. I'll need a better toast ready."

Frostine looks over at Jerrica and Sig and smiles before leaning into Thorgr and sighing happily. She nods and waits for their friends.

Giving Jerrica a kiss on the cheek , Sig smiles. "Oh we've got time. I'm not going anywhere." she says with a smile.

You make your way back to the dwarves' home. On the table sits a small little cake. With Galdur beside her, Bruldora smiles at the group. "Welcome back. It isn't much but I hope you enjoy it."

A look of surprise comes over her face as she takes in the lovingly made little cake, followed by her eyes becoming damp again at how thoughtful their hosts were. Trying her best not to start crying again she takes a breath and says in a somewhat trembling voice, "Thank you...so much. We appreciate...everything you've done for us. It's just...it's so sweet of you." Letting go of Thorgr for a moment she steps over to Bruldora and gives her a hug, then turns to Galdur and hugs him as well while wiping her eyes for what feels like the millionth time that night.

"We can't just do nothing on your wedding day," Galdur says. "We pride ourselves on being good hosts."

"That's right," Bruldora chimes in. "You may be here only for a short while, but we'll treat you like family until you leave us."

The corners of Thorgr's eyes get a little damp, but he puts on a manly smile and offers his hand to Galdur. "And we thank you for that."

Taking a deep breath she smiles up at her love, "Looks like we have more family than we thought we did, huh love?" She says, her voice thick with emotion as she takes in everyone around them. Going to the cake she picks up the serving knife with a shaking hand. Taking another breath she looks up at Thorgr through teary eyes, "Honey...would you help me with this please?" She asks, not wanting to mess up the cake that Bruldora and Galdur had taken the time to make for them.

Thorgr helps Frostine hold her hand steady to cut the cake.

With Thorgr's hand over hers, she manages to cut a piece for all of them and serve her friends and family before slicing a piece for Thorgr and herself.

Thorgr takes the fork and offers the first bite to Frostine.

Smiling she takes the bite from him and closes her eyes as she enjoys it. After swallowing she she likewise takes a small portion of the cake and offers it to him.

Thorgr eats the bit of cake. "That's pretty good."

She nods and gives him a smile before sitting down at the table to enjoy the rest of her slice, "May I have some milk with it please?" She asks Bruldora before wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Bruldora nods and fetches a pitcher of milk and some tankards for everyone. Galdur then hands Sig a map. "Here you are. It may not be 100% correct, but it should help you find the dark elves."

"Thank you Galdur, this should make things easier, well the finding them part at least." Sig replies, looking at the map.

Dagmarr keeps up a happy smile, both for the benefit of her friends and herself. She was genuinely happy for Thorgr and Frostine, but she had to admit to herself that seeing the happy couples left her with a pang of loneliness, she hadn't felt before her brief time with Hel. She'd somehow managed to get herself into an unimaginable situation, longing for the immortal goddess of death in her arms.

She would just focus on the task at hand, and deal with each day as it came.

She pours herself some milk to have with the cake as she sits at the table. Looking over at Dagmarr she takes in her body language and the smile she seems to have plastered on her face and sighs a little. She knew their friend had fallen hard for Hel and she didn't know what to do or say that would make Dagmarr feel any better about the situation, so she concentrates on eating the yummy cake and drinking her milk and tries not to think about how lonely she must feel right now. She really hoped that Dagmarr wouldn't have her heart broken, but how many times had relationships between the Gods and mortals worked out or ended well? She wanted happiness for her friends above all else and just hoped that if for whatever reason Dagmarr couldn't be with Hel, that she would find someone else that could make her happy and love her the way she deserved to be loved.
Shaking her head she tries to clear it so that she doesn't start looking sad. She didn't want anyone thinking she was sad on her wedding day, but she couldn't help but worry about their friend.

Jerrica eats her cake, glancing at Dagmarr before sighing inwardly.

Sig glances over at Dagmarr as well, noting the battle cleric's stoic resolve. There really wasn't much that any of them could do but be there for her if she needed.

"I suppose we should take the rest of the day to relax and we'll set off tomorrow morning," Thorgr says.

"That sounds like a solid plan. You deserve to enjoy the rest of your wedding day." Dagmarr says with a smile.

"I'm not sure what we should do," Jerrica says to Sig. "Not like this is a bustling city."

Swallowing another bite of her cake she takes a drink of her milk before wiping her mouth with a napkin and looks from Thorgr to the rest of her family, "Yeah...I think we could all use a day to just sort of relax before going at it again. Then we can head off first thing in the morning to find and deal with the dark elves." She says giving his hand a light squeeze before finishing her piece of cake and milk. "Mmmm...that was really tasty Ms. Bruldora, thank you so much. It hit the spot just right." She says with a smile, her eyes sparkling happily with a look of contentment in them as she looks adoringly up at her new husband. Rubbing her belly a little she says, "I don't know what you guys would like to do...but I think I might need to take a walk after all that indulgence. What do you think love?"

Thorgr thinks for a second. "Sounds like an idea."

Excusing herself, Frostine gets up and takes some of the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Turning towards Bruldora she asks, "Would you like some help cleaning up before we go for our walk?"

Bruldora shakes her head. "It's fine, dear. Enjoy your wedding day."

She nods, "Thank you again so much...for just everything." Going to Thorgr she takes his hand, "Ready for that walk?"

Thorgr nods and they head out the door.

She takes his hand and leans into him as they walk, "I love you so much."

"And I love you too," Thorgr says.

She just smiles as she enjoys their time together while they walk around.

"So is there anything you want to look at while we're strolling?" Thorgr asks his wife.

She kind of smiles while looking up at him, "You mean besides you?" She asks with a giggle.
