spots him jogging and pauses to watch, having nothing better to do.

doesn't realize he is being watched and stops to take a break in a small park. He bends down and ruffles Freyja's fur.

continues to watch, lately he felt like he was completely out of the loop.

sits down and rests against a tree, setting Freyja in his lap. Everything felt strange with the counterparts running around; He wasn't sure_

he liked the change.

has to agree on that one, he was weird-ed out by all the... others... There were just so many. He picked out a bench close by and continued

to observe.

wouldn't have noticed the Turk if not for the fact that the second he relaxed his hold on Freyja the small dog darted out towards the bench.

was snapped out of his momentary daze as a dog came running up to him. He frowned a bit down at it before he knelt to pat it.

frowned as he chased after the small puppy. "S'rry…" How embarrassing.

blinked up at the man and shook his head. "Don't be, she... he? is cute."

was relieved that he hadn't seemed upset by it. "She… Freyja."

nods as he rubbed her between the ears, he didn't mind at all.

gave a small smile as he watched him with the dog. "Sh' l'kes y'." Though she seemed to like most people that gave her attention.

blinks a bit at that and looks up at him. "Oh, well she's adorable... So how are you Berwald?"

has a feeling that the dog knew she was being complimented as she barked excitedly and continued to demand his attention. "Ah… 'M okay…" He_

shrugged awkwardly. "How're y'?"

continued to lavish her with attention as he nodded, "ah, I've been better."

"Ah…" He nodded and sat stiffly besides him, making sure to leave a few inches between them.

glanced over at him for a moment as he continued to lavish the puppy with pets. "You alright?"

nods, unsure of whether or not he should inquire as to why the other man wasn't doing well. "'M f'ne…"

gave him a questioning stare for a moment before nodding. "Alright, if you say so."

shifted uncomfortably under the stare. "Eh… How're th'ngs goin' f'r y'?" He asked, unsure of how to even inquire what was wrong.

shrugs a bit as he looked away again. "Fine I guess, just a bit hectic."

rested his hands in his lap and nodded. "Ja…"

picked the puppy up and put her in his lap as he continued to pet her. "You seem quieter than usual."

was surprised by this comment and looked at him with a perplexed expression. "Eh? Do I?"

shrugged a bit, "I think so, though I think the last time I spoke to you you were drunk."

flushes and looks away. "Ja…" He tried to forget that.

nods a bit as he chuckled softly. "I rather enjoyed that."

frowns, his cheeks turning a deeper shade of red.

smiled at that, "don't worry, I wont tell anyone else."

hardly finds that to be relieving. The fact that anyone had seen him like that was mortifying. "Th'nks…"

nods as he leaned back into the bench, still petting the puppy. "No problem."

tries to shake off the awkwardness. "H'w's w'rk?"

shrugs as he watched him for a moment. "It's work... you?"

nods. "S'me." So much for that conversation.

gave him a curious look at that, "how are you and um... what's that little scary one called... Finalnd?"

Finland*

blinks. Finland? Scary? "H'ven't seen 'im l'tely." He admitted. He was somewhat worried about the other nation.

had only seen the other drunk... for some reason that seemed to be a common thing for him. "Ah, I see."

"'M s're 'e's f'ne." He shrugged. At least he hoped he was fine. "H'w's… Greece?"

frowned at that question, "Greece... he's a stuck up little brat, nothing has changed."

"Ah…" He didn't know Greece well, though he didn't seem like a stuck up brat, but to each their own.

thought he was, he acted enough like one.

"'S y'r count'rp'rt h're?" He asked curiously, changing the subject.

shakes his head at that, "ah no... she disapeared shortly after she came."

disappeared*

"Ah…" He nodded, he supposed that might be normal. He wasn't sure.

nods a bit, he wasn't sure either.

looks at Freyja and smiles slightly. She seemed happy in his lap at least.

returned his focus to the puppy. "So what kind of dog is she?"

shrugs. "N't s're… got 'er fr'm a sh'lt'r."

nods a bit and continued to pet her. "That's a good thing you did then."

nods in agreement. "Sh's a good d'g."

laughed a bit at that, "she seems like it."

"Astr'd l'kes 'er." He said. That was the real reason he'd gotten her, though he had a feeling that he probably kidnapped the dog more than_

he should have.

nods a bit with that "I see."

"H've y' met Astr'd?" He asked curiously, unsure of how many people she had met from his world.

blinks at that and thinks about it. "I think... I have.

nods, unsure of what else to say so he goes back to looking at the park around them.

smiles a bit at that before he moved the puppy to Sweden's lap.

took the dog with a polite smile. "S'rry."

shakes his head. "Why would you be sorry?"

"D'n't w'nt her t' b'ther y'."
