Summary: Tyr and his daughter, Tina, go visit Sif over the weekend.

Kevin had to admit he was anxious as they got closer and closer to their destination.

His ever perceptive daughter caught on quick. "Are you sweating, Daddy?

"What? Oh yeah, a little, hon. I'm just a little hot."

"But you have the air conditioner on." She seemed to think a minute. "Are you worried about seeing your friend?"

Sometimes she could be way too perceptive. He sighs. "Yeah, honey. I am a little."

Again she seemed to think. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Kevin nearly coughed in surprise. "What? No, Tina. Amber is an old friend who I haven't had a chance to sit down and talk with for awhile, that's all."

Tina raised a screwed-up eyebrow at him, totally not convinced.

Tina didn't know what it was about this woman, but she felt safe and comforted by her. Somehow she KNEW she was telling the truth and that she'd keep her promise. She gave a shy little smile before taking a bite from one of the muffins.

With Tina's blessing, Tyr now felt comfortable putting his hand on top of Sif's.

Sif curled her fingers around Tyr's.

"Now... Why don't we all have a lovely breakfast, and then we can do some fun things around town?" Sif suggested.

"That sounds good to me. What about you, hon?" Tyr asked Tina.

The little girl nodded, though she clearly seemed more attention to the muffin than to the conversation going on at the moment.

He gives Sif's hand a little squeeze. "What did you have in mind?"

"Well, there's the waterfront, the zoo, museums... What interests you?" Sif suggested.

"Um, well, anything would be nice really. What about you, Tina?"

She stopped eating just long enough to say: "Can we see the animals!?"

"Of course you can," Sif replied, smiling indulgently. "What would you say to a picnic lunch, and a day at the zoo?" she suggested.

She nodded happily. "That sounds fun! Can we, Daddy?"

Oh geez, the face, the pouting..more powerful than a hundred Fenrirs. "Sure, hon. We can do that."

Sif laughed.
"Sounds like we have a plan. What sort of lunch should we pack in our picnic?" she asked.

Tyr smiled. "You've led us straight so far, Amber. I think we can trust you to know what's good to eat," he teased gently.

"All right. Sandwiches are usually good picnic food. Have you any favorites? Grilled cheese? Peanut butter and jelly? Ham and swiss on rye?" she asked.

"Tina likes PB&J, I'm a grilled ham and cheese man, myself."

"I think I can handle that. Perhaps some lemonade to go with it?" Sif suggested, "And, of course, dessert. Can't forget about that."

"Sounds good to me. No we can't be forgetting dessert." He whispers to Amber. "Nothing too sugary please. That stuff sends her off on a mile a minute."

Sif chuckled.
"Nothing too messy... Maybe some homemade fruit bars? How would that be? I have some lovely strawberries from the garden yet."

"Fruit?" Tina asks with a scrunched up face.

"Young lady you know full well you need more fruit in your diet." Kevin cut any potential objection off.

She proceeds to mutter to herself.
