The next morning Sigyn was abruptly awoken by the shrill ring of the telephone in the hall. She waited for a moment, one ring, two rings, on the third ring she sat up and stumbled out of bed when it became clear nobody else was going to pick it up.

When she reached the hall the phone lay shaking in anticipation for someone to seek the secrets it held. On the other side she was meet with the voice of her aunt. Her father, Iwaldi had been the eldest of his siblings followed by John and then Jane and Imogen who were twin sisters. It was Jane on the phone now. After a quick greeting the conversation came to it's obvious point when Jane spoke; "My dearest is your mother awake?" She asked "I'm afraid not" the teen replied "am I any use to you?" "Yes, yes you'll do wonderfully, I wanted to talk about dinner tonight" Jane continued.

"Dinner" Sigyn repeated "Tonight.....yes right" "I just wanted to clear up the guest list with your mother, as far as I know it should be me, Imogen, John, Odin, Frigga, Thor, Loki, Jackson and Louis and Father".

As well as knowing each other through the Kings council, the Odinsons and Iwaldisons had a blood relation as well with Sigyns mother being one of Friggas many sisters. Jackson and Louie were Jane's children, with an absent father who no one really knew the whereabouts of, and finally, Iwaldi's father who was some how still alive, he usually slept through these things.

Sigyn scrambled for a pen and scrawled the names in a messy font on a note pad that lay on the table by the phone. "Is that every one?" She asked once the woman had finished. A quick conformation ended the phone call with a sigh of relief form the girl. It was then that she realized that the list was not complete, Marshall Turner would still be coming too. At least now she would have Jackson and Louies constant bickering to distract her.

Sigyn descended the stairs wearing a white dress decorated with a bluebell pattern that her mother had forced her to wear sh she would look, quote in quote 'delicate', to see Oliver waiting at the bottom step. "When do you think he'll come?" He asked, referring to Turner. "I don't know, hopefully never" Sigyn replied, Oliver replied his eyes "you're so dramatic " he told her "you're not the one who has to marry him".

The conversation, ir rather argument was intrupted by a sharp knock on the door. She siblings glanced at each other before simultaneously approaching the door. When they opened it, they were meet by a tall man with blonde hair and a large smile dragging a case behind him.

"Hello" said the man "I'm Marshall".

~~~~~~~~~~

Loki glanced over the stone edge of the roof top and down at the man standing in the lawn. "He doesn't seem that bad" the god commented, he ducked back down to where his cousin lay on the terrace floor sighing dramatically every thirty seconds.

Sigyn shook her head. "No he is definitely that bad Loki, he is rude, arrogant, self centred -" "have you actually had a full conversation with him yet?" "I - no". Loki rolled his eyes and threw himself down next to her. "You could at least try to get to know him if you have to marry him anyway" the man reasoned. Sigyn let out yet another dramatic sigh and threw her hands up in the air " I thought the whole point of this is that I get out of the Marriage!" She exclaimed "yeah but how likely is that, really" she simply huffed and declared "I am not marrying that man".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loki was dragged away eventually by Imogen to listen to her woes about how her husband had left her. A decade ago. Sigyn decided she would tale his suggestion to heart for once and try to get to know her future spouse a little better. She walked out to the back of the house and saw Oliver sitting with Marshall making awkward conversation. Oliver jumped up when he saw where and formerly introduced her to Turner.

Marshall pulled a sleek silver cigarette case from his pocket and flipped it open offering one to both brother and sister. Oliver had never really liked smoking, only doing so in public out of politeness. Sigyn had never much been bothered with it but not by it either. Remus smoked sometimes. They accepted and made even more awkward conversation when Oliver stood up and walked away from the group, now doing laps around the small dining set.

Sigyn watched him as he continued to talk to Marshall. From what she understood he had taken the newcomer out as far as the gates and back. He now stood looking into the empty pool as he spoke, eventually he
made his way back over from the pool to Sigyn and Marshall Turner. "You'll never guess who we meet on the way in" he said, balancing his cigarette lazily between his middle and fore finger. Of course Sigyn knew exactly who he was referring to but indulged him by asking "who?" "Killian Creed, I invited him to join us for dinner this evening" the second part of this sentence was what caught his sisters attention, immediately abandoning her laid back position for a straighter one of full attention. Oliver smiled at this sudden change in posture. "You did not" she exclaimed "what's wrong with him? You've been terribly apprehensive of him all summer" he raised his eyebrows suggestively at that to which his sister rolled her eyes in response.

Oliver's expression turned to concern as he considered that perhaps Creed had done something to cause her to avoid him. "Is he bothering you?" Sigyn stood up, deliberately dropping her cigarette as she did so and crushing it with her shoe. "Your bothering me" she told him, walking back over towards the open porch doors and disappearing inside.
