Mira was dressed as a proper Viking shield maiden in white leather and fur. At first, she declined to wear white but she was assured that this was not a wedding attire. It was just winter clothes. Then, the women in the village went crazy on braiding her hair, half up in braids and with wild curls hanging down her back.

She had to do a double take of herself at her change in her appearance. Walking out to join her uncle, there was whispers of her being Freyja because of her clothing, Mira thought. Thor stood up and hugged her. Mira was surprised how much she needed that hug.

There was a large tree decorated. The mistletoe was hanging in every arches way give people the reason to kiss and a Yule log burning in the center fire pit with a whole pig roasting on the fire pit.

There was a huge Viking named Odin dressed in red and white and an eyepatch with a long beard that the children were called Father Christmas. Mira was happy to just sit on the bench and not tell Odin what she really wanted for Christmas. Slipping off her gloves, Mira started to eat the food placed in front of her.

Thor smiled. "All right, who has you coming here to brave the cold?" He popped some meat in his mouth waiting.

Mira sighed, taking a sip of the mead. "Our last mission put me in the way of an Andorian delegate named Sheris. I have been ordered not to have any contact with him by my captain. I am just trying to follow that order, Uncle."

See, that didn't sound so bad, she thought, and not a lie.

"So if Andorians show you here, we can beat the crap out of them and send them packing?" Thor asked, then added," but Sheris, we kill."
Mira's eyes widen. "That wouldn't be good. He is part of the Imperial Guard and earth....."

But Mira was cut off. "Did he touch you?" Thor asked in a serious tone.

"Uncle, I am a grown-up and....: "Mira told him only to be
cut off again. "Did you want him to touch you?" Thor asked

Mira just shook her head no. Taking a sip of mead as an excuse not to talk. Thor always had a way of making her feel like a kid.

"And you let him live?" He turned his full attention on her.

Mira sighed, putting the glass down, then went into details of what happened.
