{Hvalset Fjord, Greenland}

While talking about the Andorians and weapons, Mira noticed Thor’s mate…..wife she corrected herself, because humans got married.

The woman was looking very impatiently at them. “Thor your being …….called or about to be.” Mira told him.
Thor looked behind him then shook his head no. “ That’s her disapproving glare and it would be directed at you.”

Mira’s eyes widen “Why? What did I do?”

“Look at your clothes.” He told her with a laugh.

Looking down she was a mess. Between the competitions and the Trill toss her white leathers weren’t very white anymore. But, in all fairness, she had warned the women that she wasn’t the type of person to wear white very well. “What do I do?” she asked him in almost a whisper.

Thor chuckled at the worry in her voice. He then leaned down to whisper back “Tell her is was all Odin’s doing and let her fuss over you.”

It was about that time Helga came over and flicked her with a towel “You child are….”
Mira jumped when the towel flicked her leg then smiled “Sorry Helga it was all Odin’s doing. He tossed me in the slush and Loki slipped we fell.”

The woman crossed her arms “ That man is awful. Come with me, and we will put you to rights.”

Mira wasn’t sure what that meant, but she looked to Thor. “Will it be safe? I mean with Sheris around.”
Thor nodded “That part of the long house is shielded. They should not be able to beam ya away “ he says as he touched his beard in thought.

Oh, that was reassuring they shouldn’t be able to beam her away while changing her clothes. That was not something she wanted to hear or for it to happen. Ah yes, she thought as she followed Helga. She imagined standing on an Andorian transporter pad in nothing but her birthday suit. “Vaytoc” Mira called at least the cat would be close to her. Tagging along ,Vaytoc lifted his lip. “What is it, big guy?” he didn’t look happy about something, but he wasn’t sending her any images so Mira just followed Helga.
That’s was about the time she found out this was more then just changing her clothes. Seemed Helga had enlisted a few other women because that was a Viking thing.

It would Seem that Viking women weren’t any more modest then their male counterparts. Mira went though it all with her eyes closed most of the time. There seemed to be a small argument about what color to put her in. Mira said black but the woman thought that was too warrior like and that she needed to go for a softer color.

That was when Mira just tuned them out and it became a whatever moment for her.

A royal blue top got pulled over her head. Mira realized tuning them all out might not have been her wisest choice. Because someone was putting junk on her face and they were adding brown leather, paints, fur vest and fur with leather boots on her.

Helga was frowning, “Your covering up her spots. Don’t do that.”

“Hold up I never agree to makeup.” Mira told the women trying to find all her weapons she came in with. By the time she found them she saw herself in the Mirror. They had added more braids but….. “oh no! What have you done?”
A woman laughed. " The men won’t be able to resist ya.”
“But I want them to not even notice me” Mira told them making them all laugh.

“Child, they are going to notice you no matter what ya do.” She was told this by Helga. “Female Star Fleet officers do wear makeup. Mira who told you that you should not?”

Mira frowned “Klingon women do not”

“Well, that settles it. You’re not Klingon and its just a little bit. It makes you look softer.”

Mira shook her head, feeling all the braids move. How was she going to get them all out when she got back to the ship? “I am an XO of a star ship. I don’t want to look soft. This isn’t going to help with Sheris.”

“Mira Rodale, stop that, right now! Leave it on.” Helga told her as Mira went to wash her face. She sat Mira down as she finished her hair into a low ponytail. “It’s only a little bit to add some color to your cheeks. Don’t make more of it than it really is.”

Mira was fairly certain Odin would say something then….. come to think of it he had been picking on her like they were brother and sister. Mira was certain Odin was older then Thor and they both could be her father.
