never wants the snow to melt after making this masterpiece.
Eduard
wants
it :|
isn't sharing it. :|
Eduard
will
will make his own one then. Out of material that will last past winter. :|
Greenland
thinks
it won't be as awesome since it's not a snowman. But he's still a copy cat.
frowns. The takes a picture of the snow man, he may or may not macro it later with the caption. 'In Greenland... you have too much time on_
your hands.;'
huffs, walking over to him. "Hey! I didn't say you couldn't take a picture! Delete it!"
puts the phone in his pocket. 'Please may I take a picture of your wonderful piece of art?' he asks, with a smile.
raises a brow. Flattery fail. "What are you going to do with the picture. You need my permission after all since this is my property."
Eduard
says
, 'I'm going to make it my phone screensaver. I would have done it already if you hadn't told me to delete it....'
nods, satisfied with that answer. "Okay, you can do that. But I don't want the picture uploaded anywhere."
smiles, 'Thank you Miss Greenland.' He *might* not macro it.
Greenland
is
still a bit suspicious. "No need for the miss, it's just Greenland. Do you really like it?"
... nods, 'It's good.' And he means that sincerely, 'I imagine you're really cold now though.'
shrugs. "My hands and feet are a little cold but I'm used to this weather after all. Want some hot chocolate."
takes a moment before his gentlemanly instincts kick in. 'Well, I'm not sure where the cafes are around here, but if you point one out I'll_
buy you a hot chocolate.' He could do with some coffee himself, he had a late night gaming.
shrugs. "We don't really have one, plus it's more in town. But I can make it, it's that hard to do."
... gives a small nod, 'Sounds nice.'
leads the way up her big lawn, a few big dogs bounding over to greet her. "So I take it from your nice compliment of my art you like games."
tries not to run away from the dogs. :S 'Y-yeah, of course I d-do!'
turns to look at him, patting the biggest dog on the head. "They won't hurt you. They're well trained. But they do see you as a threat."
... makes a face. That doesn't reassure him. 'Ri-right,' he murmurs, pushing up his glasses.
smiles. "Don't worry, I won't let them inside." She makes her way to the door and holds it open for him. "You'll be safe with me."
.... blushes a tad at his foolishness, walking past the dogs with his eyes on the door. He sighs in relief once he makes it to the door.
whistles, shouting a quick command in her native tongue and they disappear out back. "So do you want coffee or hot chocolate?"
sighs once again in relief, 'Coffee please.' He was afraid hot chocolate would put him to sleep. 'Thank you very much.'
goes through the routine of making it. "So what were you really going to do with that picture?"
Eduard
says
, 'Use it as my screensaver.'
raises a brow. "Really? I was actually expecting something more.. sinister I guess. Like a prank."
nods, keeping a straight face. 'I didn't expect you to have such a low opinion of me.'
laughs. "Everyone plays pranks on me, it's something I've come to expect. I'm not exactly everyone's favourite nation."
doesn't really have many relations with Greenland. 'Ah- well, maybe they're jealous that you can ski all year?'
stares for a moment then bursts out laughing. "T-that's a good one! I like it." She grabs two mugs from her cupboard. "Would you like
anything in it?"
flusters, flushing. He hadn't meant to be funny. 'A milk and a sugar, please.' :T
puts what he asked in and brings it over to him. "You can take a seat, I swear there's no dogs hiding behind the couches."
takes a seat since he's been invited to, 'Ah, thank you.' He sips his coffee, humming. 'It's good...'
smiles, taking a seat as well. "Warm drinks is our specialty here. So what brings you here? Did one of my uncles send you?"
shakes his head... pushing up his glasses again. 'My spider senses were tingling,' he says, with a small sly smile.
grins. "That somewhere in the world a nation was doing something incredibly nerdy?"
nods, a tad enthusiastic. 'Yeah... at first I thought it might have been Canada. He likes games afterall, but I was led here.'
sips her coffee. "Well I'm glad you were led here, I like the company. And I like not being laughed it for my nerdy ways."
smiles, 'I promise never to laugh at your nerdy ways.' He feels bad for considering the macro now.
laughs. "Although building a snowman of Master Chief is a bit too much, but I thought it would be fun."
shrugs, 'So's sitting on a computer all day.'
gestures to her tv. "I sit here and play games all day if I'm not out with the dogs."
sighs, sinking into the couch. 'You could be spending your time worse, I suppose. There's not really much to do here.'
nods. "That's true. Besides cultural stuff of course. Is there much to do in your country?"
Eduard
thinks
for a moment before flushing, 'Well drinking is cheap in Estonia... England comes over a lot.' He girmices, 'And we're still really into_
our culture, so you'll still hear about oral traditions and singing's really popular. We have the country blanketed in wi-fi too.' >w<
*England and Scotland
clasps her hands together. "Oh! You guys also have that wife carrying competition! Uncle Finland beat you last year!"
... makes a face, still rather sore about it. 'Don't worry, I'll win this year,' he says, pushing up his glasses.
Greenland
gives
him a look. "I don't know.. Uncle Finland is really good. You know what I don't get? If you win the woman's weight in beer, why isn't there
more bigger couples in it?"
smiles, 'I doubt a lot of 'bigger' couples wouldn't make it to the end of the race. They won't be very fit.'
hums. "Two body builders would be. You know, I can't picture you ever doing the race."
frowns, 'I do it.'
tilts her head. "Hmm no I don't see it. Maybe it's because you look too intellectual. Could you even pick me up?"
stands up, feeling his manly pride being questioned here. 'Why don't we see if I can?'
looks concerned. "I don't want you straining yourself."
huffs, 'I'm not going to strain myself... maybe you're just scared.'
stares. "Of being picked up? Well I am scared you'll drop me."
picks her up by the waist and puts her over his shoulder, 'Well you had nothing to be worried about. I've picked up bigger girls than you_
before.'
clings onto his shirt. "You know, being able to pick me up doesn't mean you can run the race."
... rolls his eyes, leaning forward so that she can land back down on the couch. 'You're acting as though I need to prove something to you.'
laughs. "You caught me. I was just seeing if you were any good, so I could give Uncle tips. Hmm do you run around picking up girls then?"
... blinks, 'Eh? I usually just ask a girl on the day if she'd mind being my partner for the race.'
stares. "No wonder you lost! You're supposed to train for it!"
Eduard
says
, 'I do train, with a bag of potatoes.' He might have slacked last year though... with the new patch of WoW out.
face palms. "It's not the same. I used to watch my uncle train all the time. You have to prepare for trips, falls, lost grip. A sack of
potatoes can't adjust to that! Does free beer and bragging rights mean nothing to you?"
Eduard
gives
ives her an odd look. 'You should enter, you seem rather passionate about it.'
pouts, looking away. "I want to, but no one is into it so I can't find a partner. Plus I didn't weigh enough for awhile."
... ahhs, 'Well... how about you be my partner. We can practice together.'
looks a bit shocked. "I want half the beer though. And to beat Uncle, he forgot my birthday this past year."
laughs, 'You can half of the beer.'
tries to give him a very serious look. "And if you drop me.. I'll hack your WoW account."
Eduard
gives
ives an amused smirk, 'Okay.' He seriously doubts that she can, however.
starts listing off items he has in his inventory. "I did it over Christmas. You, Alfred's, a few other nation's."
twitches slightly, 'Right.' He'll need to bulster up the protections attached to his account.
notices it, grinning. "Yours was the most challenging. Took me almost two days. It'll be fun being partners!"
... 'fun... uh huh.' He's not happy. This girl would probably prove as bothersome as Russia... :|
smiles. "I wouldn't really do anything to it. Gamer's honour after all. I just did it for the challenge."
... sighs, 'Please don't do it again.'
nods. "I won't, it's not any fun anymore once I've done it."
smiles a bit at that, 'I atleast know that's true.'
holds out her pinky. "I promise."
... takes her pinky in his. He can't help but note how childish she is, and the thought brings a smile to his face.
smiles back. "But this means you can't hack mine back. That wouldn't be never nice. I'd probably cry.." She forces herself to tear up a bit.
flusters a tad, 'I promise not to hack into your WoW account.'
immediately grins. "I'm sorry, it's really fun teasing you. I wouldn't cry. So when do you start training?"
... looks conflicted before just smiling. This was Finland's niece, he had to be nice for his BFF. 'About a month beforehand.'
raises a brow. "Uncle starts training as soon as the competition ends. If you want your decade streak back you need to take some tips from
him. What were you thinking of before you smiled? Is my teasing getting to you. I'll stop."
follows half of that, 'I'll ask him for some tips.'
shakes her head. "No no, he'll never tell you. That's where I come in. He'll tell me, he's pretty bitter about losing for a decade to you."
...nods, 'Ahh, that's dishonest though.'
tilts her head. "How is it dishonest? I'm not lying unless he asks me why I need to know. He tells me most of this stuff readily."
Eduard
says
, 'But you're asking for dishonest reasons...'
sighs. "I'll tell him why I want to know then."
Smiles brightly. 'Thank you Miss Greenland!' ((Pretend that's estonia ))
makes a face. "Just Greenland, or Mettalise. Should I call you Mr. Estonia?"
Eduard
thinks
about this, 'Whatever makes you feel most comfortable Mi- Greenland.'
hums. "You seem like one of those guys that are super polite. Maybe I should call you sir, you seem so much older than me."
twitches, 'I'm 17...'
raises an eyebrow. "You seem more like 37. You don't look it, I mean that you're extremely mature."
...smiles slightly, 'Or you're immature?'
goes to retort but nods instead. "A little, when it comes to my family. I grew up alone for the most part so I'm pretty self sufficient.
Plus you can have an immature person running a dog team as large as mine. So sometimes I am a bit."
shrugs, 'I'd age you at about 15.... with the way you act with me, at least.'
grins. "I'm older than that. I'm just not good with people. You should see me focused. Oh, I'll take you for a sled ride one day!"
blinks, 'Ahh... if you want?' He actually really likes the sound of that, it's exciting.'
nods. "Yea, next week I'm working with Nuuk off the line, that'll be a perfect time to take you since I'm not going too fast. Some people
get sick the first time on a sled."
nods, blanching a tad at the mentioning of becoming ill. 'Well, if it's not too much of a problem I'd love to.'
shakes her head. "No, it'll be good to have another set of eyes. It's hard for me to focus on the path, the team and Nuuk all at once."
'Then I'm glad to be of help.'
smiles. "I'll even lend you some warmer equipment to wear. It'll be a lot of fun!"
Eduard
says
, 'I think I'll be covered...' Maybe, 'I get cold winters in Estonia...'
stares for a second before slowly smiling, chuckling a little. "Sure you will.. how cute, cold winters in Estonia aha.."
... looks peeved, 'We get a lot of Snow!'
blinks. "There's always snow here. Always. Twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five days a year, snow."
Eduard
says
, 'I know, I'm just letting you know I'm not a stranger to it. I can cope.'
pats his arm. "I'll bring some stuff just in case. It gets really cold in the North, especially on dog sled."
... 'Okay.' He'll wrap up warm though 8|
Greenland
is
pretty sure he'll be begging for warmer clothes once they got going. "If you survive I'll even treat you to some berry crisp."
blinks, 'Berry crisp? What's that?'
gasps. "The best dessert ever! You've never had it before?"
shakes his head, a small smile on his face, 'No, never!'
smiles. "Then I'll have to make double sure you survive the trip then so you can try it. It's really good!"
smiles, 'I'm glad you have a reason to make sure I stay alive.' He's tempted to stick out his tongue.
laughs. "I said double sure, I do want to compete with you after all. But you'll deserve it after facing polar bears, ice, freak blizzards."
... looks a bit frightened, before shaking it off. 'I'm sure I'll survive,' he says, smirking a tad cockily.
nods. "But first.." She goes to the back door and whistles, bringing in her biggest dog inside. "You have to be friends with Nuuk. This is
who'll be protecting you."
tenses, watching the dog. 'Ahh, are you sure he won't eat me?'
gets down on her knees and hugs the dog. "I'm sure.." She whisper's in his ear with a small smirk and the dog barks loudly.
jumps clear off the couch, moving towards the window. He pushes up his glasses, 'W-what did you say to him?'
laughs. "To not be rude and say hello since we have a guest. He's just a big softie." She ruffles the dog's fur, leaning into him. "You can
pet him, he only nipped as a pup."
... looks at the dog and swears he sees a glint in it's eye... 'Does he like me?'
shrugs. "If you're nice to me. You have to show him we're friends."
nods, 'What do you suggest?'
smiles. "Talk in a low voice, make sure you don't raise your hands to me. I've had him since he was born so he's very protective. I'm the
pack leader after all. Come here and pet him, it's a very good start."
keeps his hands low, making his way over slowly. He kneels down by the dog, whispering okay as he pets it... >>;
laughs. "You don't have to whisper. See, Nuuk is a good boy. Aren't you~" She coos, nuzzling into the dog's side. "He'd make the trip hell
if he disliked you."
pouts, scratching behind the dogs ear. 'Then I hope he likes me.'
smiles. "He likes you. If not he wouldn't have let you in the house. I just wanted to see if you would be nice to him."
... hums, 'I don't have a reason to be bad to him... he's a rather nice dog.'
shrugs. "Some people don't like dogs. That's why I have ten now. I started my team with 4. There's some people who respect the dogs and
there are asses who don't at all."
looks sad, 'That's horrid... they're gorgeous.' Even if he was scared of them.
smiles widely. "I know! And they're so fluffy! They all sleep on my bed at night and I never get cold, ever. You should get one."
shakes his head, 'I don't think my current... pets would like them;
tilts her head. "You have pets too?"
Eduard
thinks
about this, 'I think they're pets.'
nods. "What are they?"
... 'Have you ever had Mochi buns?'
shakes her head. "No, what are those?"
stares at his phone. "Is that.. a type of cat?" She's never seen one before...
isn't sure. He doesn't answer the question, 'They're cute, no?' =w=
nods. "They are pretty cute, but I still think my dogs are cuter. They might like a dog, they can ride on it's back. I don't see legs.."
Eduard
says
, 'They hop around.' =w=
blinks. "They're rabbits?"
shakes his head, 'No. They're like mochi-buns?'
doesn't remembering seeing them on National geographic ever.. "What did you name them?"
((I think he calls them Gohan... 'Rice?' But I'm not sure ~.~;;; ))
((me either =w=))
