Håkon
is
standing in a pedestrian street, tuning his fiddle.
hums as he walked down the street, smiling as he saw Norge.
places the instrument between his shoulder and chin before he runs the bow over the strings. Satifsied, he starts playing an old folksong.
stays back and listens for a while. He liked the music...
closes his eyes, swaying to the tune as he plays. A few people stops to listen to him while others continues on with their shopping.
liked to see Norge out and with his people. Not that he hadn't seen it before, but he liked it none the less.
opens his eyes to see some children jumping and dancing around to the cheery melody. He smiles gently at them while their parents observes,_
clearly amused.
couldn't help but find that cute. It was nice to see a nation such as Norge bringing joy to his people.
Håkon
wants
to see his people happy.. Although he declines when one of the older kids tries to make him dance with them, causing some parents to laugh.
expected as much. He couldn't imagine Norge dancing with kids... He slowly walked closer after.
blinks as he spots the Dane through the small crowd, before he turns his eyes down to the fiddle as the melody grew more complex in the end.
kept quiet so he could play and concentrate.
finished the song, nodding slightly in thanks to the small applause. He held the instrument by his side as he waved to the other.
waved back and g0t closer. "Ye play pretty amazinly'.
nods, smiling a bit. "Takk."
looks as the kids walked away. "And they seemed to really enjoy it."
pulls a bit on the strings."They did.." He politely shakes his head when a woman tries to give him money for it. "I haven't played much for_
anyone before, besides the royalty, so I'm glad they liked it."
smiles and nods. "I'd have given ye some money. But I know ye better than that. Now if it was me, I'd probably play for money."
absentmindedly plays a little melody while he talks. "Money wasn't what I came here for.. What do you play ?"
shakes his head. "Nothin'. But I've been thinkin' of learnin' the violin... "
nods. "'s a fine instrument. Not too different from this one.."
nods a little. "Ja... at first I thought it was a violin." He laughed a bit.
shrugs. "They make different sounds; fiddles've more strings." he pauses, "Either way, if you ever got hold of a violin, I could show you_
the basics."
smiles. "That'd be great! I'd really appreciate it." He wanted to get one for sure now.
nods. He begins to pack the fiddle and bow back in its case which he'd placed against a wall earlier. "So what're you doin' here?"
shrugs. "I just felt like walkin'. Then I heard ye play so... I'm here."
.."Obviously." he looks around a bit. "Want to go get some coffee?"
nods. "Ja, sure. S'till early."
nods and grabs the case. He leads the way into a small café before going to stand behind the small line of people up to the counter.
hummed as he looked to see what they had. He wanted a treat too..
paid for two cups of coffee, waiting for the other to pick out his treat.
kind of wanted a cookie... and he could pay for his things!
bought a cookie then, and he was just making up for earlier when the other had paid for their lunch.
appreciates it... He quickly started to nibble on the cookie.
hands the other his coffee and goes to sit at a table by the window, putting the fiddle case on the floor beside him.
sat across from him and sipped his coffee. He was in a good mood~
curls his cold fingers around the cup for its warmth. Next time, he'll play when it's warmer outside.
Søren
thinks
that'd be a good idea. It was difficult to do anything with cold fingers...
sips from his coffee. "'ve you done anythin' with the fur from yesterday?"
shakes his head. "Nej. I was gonna make some kinda clothin' out of it... but I dunno."
taps his fingers on the cup. "Well, y'could make boots. I've seen the Sami do it."
smiles a bit. "That'd be nice. They'd be better at keepin' my feet warm than what I have now."
nods, "Most likely." He drinks some more, absentmindedly people-watching.
hummed as he sipped his coffee and nibbled his cookie. "This is nice."
looks up, shrugging. "'s just brunch." Or whatever it was England called it again.
shrugs. "Even so, just gettin' out is nice. I need to do it more often."
nods. "Ja, it is." He probably won't go out more than he does already, though.
had been getting bored at home, so he has been trying to get out more...
had noticed. He drinks the rest of his coffee, looking out the window.
people watched as he finished his cookie and coffee a bit later, glad for that refreshment.
sits thinking for a while, looking at nothing in particular. "Austria probably knows..."
blinks and looks at him. "About what?"
snaps out of it, looking over at the other. "Oh, well of violin. I can only teach you the basics, so you'll have to learn the rest_
from someone else."
nods, thinking that over. "Ja... I guess..." He hadn't seen the Austrian in a while, so this might be nice.
pokes his cup a bit.
looks to him. "Ye okay?"
looks blankly at him. "Ja, 'm fine." he shakes his head, "You worry too much."
shrugs. "I gotta worry a lot 'bout my best friend."
huffs. "'n what of your other friends, y'should worry about them sometimes too."
(( I don't know English today, I'm sorry OTL ))
nods. "Ja... but I dun have too many friends."
((It's okay, I seem to have that issue every day. -w-; ))
"Ah.." he frowns a bit, slightly uncomfortable.
wondered why he felt uncomfortable...
shrugs, looking up. "We're in the same boat then." He'd leave it at that.
smiles a bit. "Maybe that's why we're such best friends then."
just stares at him for a little while, before doing a weird movement between a shrug and a nod.
chuckles and leans back. "We should get some more friends though... that way if one of us are busy, we have a fall back."
((I'm goin' to bed... Talk to ye tomorrow~ ))
doesn't really feel the need to socialise more than he does already, but nods all the same.
doesn't think it'd hurt. Maybe him and Austria could play together~
(( Okey, sleep tight~ I won't be so active Thursday-Sunday since I'm going to Oslo, though ;c We'll see~! ))
((Baw~ Lucky! Be safe and have fun then! ))
picks up his case from the floor, drumming his fingers on it while he thought about it. He shrugs, "If he's willing."
smiles. "It'd be nice to hear ye two together... I'd totally come watch~"
nods... "I'll have to ask him.. I don't talk to him much outside competitions."
nods a bit. "I could ask him if I see him before ye. But I doubt that'll happen since I gotta learn the basics..."
leans a bit on the table on his elbows. "The first step is gettin' the violin, then we'll take it from there."
nods. "Ja~ I'll look into that soon." He wanted to start.
taps his empty cup, looking at the other. "So... Anythin' new ?"
shakes his head. "Nej... unfortunately. My life isn't as excitin' as it use to be."
nods slightly. "Some might say it was too excitin' before, though."
shrugs. "I don't care. It was perfect for me. I live for the thrill of hunts, raids, bloodshed..." He smirked a bit at that.
shakes his head. "Nei, that was then, not anymore."
sighs. "I know. Now it's just... nothin'. We gotta sit back, and let humans do what use to be our job..."
shrugs. "I guess you've got to find more joy in lesser things. You were the one tellin' me to be happy, so it's only fair for you to listen_
to your own advice."
smirks a bit at that. "I'm pretty happy normally. Just when I get too much time to myself I go right back to the past. It's hard to let go."
keeps tapping the cup. "'n now we're back to the gettin'-more-friends subject." He grumbles a bit, "What an evil circle."
chuckles and pokes his forehead.
swats his finger away.
sticks his tongue out.
glares a bit and pinches his nose.
makes a sound and pulls back. "Ye're so grumpy."
takes his hand back, maybe a bit smug. "Everythin' is relative." he shrugs.
rolls his eyes. "If ye say so."
smiles slightly, amused. "Yes, yes I do."
sticks his tongue out again.
just pokes his hand, chuckling a bit.
rolls his eyes. "Wanna get outta here?"
sighs, without really meaning anything by it. He was in quite a good mood, for once. "Fine." He grabs the fiddle-case before getting up.
hummed as he headed out. He liked being around the other.
followed him quietly out on the sunny yet chilly street. He'd grown to .. not mind .. his presence as much as before.
Søren
was
glad~ He put his hands in his pockets as he walked. "Ye gonna play some more?"
shrugs."I'd be happy to."
smiles. "I'd like to listen to ye more and watch the passerbys.
(( I'm on my phone, so I'll blame anything I write wrong/ post to early on that ))
((Haha, it's alright~ I know how phones are with plurk. -w- ))
nods, "Okei." he walks further down the streets till they came to a good spot before he unpacks his fiddle and bow again.
went to lean against the wall nearby so he could watch and listen to him.
leans the instrument on his shoulder and rests his chin on it. He starts playing a calmer song than the one from earlier.
smiles and closed his eyes as he listened.
((Buuu, I gotta sleep now. Niiight~ Have fun! ))
(( Aaw, you too =w= ))
sways slowly to the music, partly watching as people pass by or stops to listen more.
watched the look on the humans faces, smiling at how happy they looked. It was so nice to see them like this.
continues on, backing up to the Dane as the song drew near the end. "D'you have a request ?"
shakes his head. "Not really. Just more happy and up-liftin' beats."
nods, smiling a bit. He walks further out on the street again before he starts playing the instrumental of 'Fairytale'.
almost flails. He was kind of hoping he played that song...
smirks slightly at his reaction while he has fun with playing. Some of the little audience that has gathered rolls their eyes at the_
well-known melody, but cheers all the same.
didn't think he could ever get tired of it. It was so catchy and... almost seemed to fit him.
chuckles a bit as some teens stars dancing in the middle of the crowd. He doesn't understand the others insight, seeing as it's a love song.
Søren
thinks
certain parts apply to him. Regardless, he liked watching the teens dance.
.. could agree with that, especially when some girls starts singing it and he deftly makes the instrumental part longer for them to finish.
Søren
thinks
that was nice of him. And thought that the singing was cute~
finally ends the song, a bit exhausted. The crowd cheers and claps while the dancers gets up and laughs happily.
claps with them before patting his back. "Ye wanna keep playin' or call it a night?"
some of the people smiles amused at the obvious Danish, while he just bows to them to say 'show's over'. "I think that'll do, it's still_
cold out." He shifts the instrument in his hands to stretch his fingers.
nods. "Wanna go back to yer place and have some hot cocoa~?"
packs his things together. "Hm.. Ja, sounds good."
smiles and waited for the other until he was all packed up and started heading to his place.
walks with him. He was happy with how his little experiment had turned out.
wondered what that was?
(( Uh, we're leaving the café now -n- TTYL ~ ))
((Kies~ Be safe!))
shrugs. "It seems I can make my people happy, an' I'm glad to it."
smiles. "S'a good thing then. Ye bein' happy, them bein' happy... it's a great thing."
nods. "I'm beginnin' to believe in this year." He swings his case a little as they walk.
smiles widely. "See! This are goin' well already! If it stars off well, it should be good the whole year, ja ja?"
frowns slightly. That was certainly not what had happened last year.. He shrugs, "If you say so."
pats his back. He's sure things will be better now...
shrugs just slightly away, nodding. He unlocks the door when they eventually reach his house and steps inside.
walks in and goes to the kitchen. "Do ye use milk or water with yer hot cocoa?"
places the fiddle-case on a dresser. "Milk." He takes off his shoes and jacket before following him into the kitchen.
nods and goes to heat up some milk for them
finds a pack of powder in a drawer and two cups, placing it all beside the stove for the other.
stirred the milk lightly.
leans on the counter, rubbing his cold hands together.
hums as he worked. He liked this.
What, working ?
liked making warm cocoa after a chilly day.
"Ah." He nods, going to sit at the table.
waited for the milk to be hot and poured it into the cups, mixing them both fully before handing one to Norge.
took it, curling fingers around it. "Mm.. Takk."
smiles and nods as he sat across from him.
sips warily of the warm drink.
rolls his eyes and takes a few sips. It was good, and helped warm him from the inside.
Håkon
was
just værsko because cocao tends to be scolding at first. He drinks more of it now.
(( careful** wtf weathershoes ?? ))
((... Pfffffft. That made my night.))
Søren
was
use to burning his tongue on pastries fresh out of the oven...
(( Bfah >.< I've gotta find the English autocorrect on this thing.. ))
... stares at him.
looks over at him as he sipped more.
((Maybe I'll learn Norwegian from this. 8D ))
(( I thought you wanted to learn Danish. 'Cause if that's the case I'll make Nor say every word in Norwegian, for your education~~ ))
((I do wanna learn Danish, but if I grasp Norwegian I might have a better chance at it But I'd totally have to rely on google translatorXD))
just shakes his head, reminding himself to never bake while Danmark's around.
Søren
was
an awesome baker! He was just too eager to try his own treats.
((In the beginning. You'd eventually pick up the words 'n sentence formulations tho'. We could try but I dont think it's the best way..))
prefers not to need band-aids to eat.
((I dun think it'd work well... I've found two sites that I'm gonna focus on. They even pronounce everythin'.))
just rolls his eyes. He just needed to have an iron tongue like the Dane!
Håkon
thinks
that just sounds unpleasant for several reasons.
(( sounds good ~ ))
doesn't care. He liked his cocoa hot and steaming~
shrugs, sipping more of the now cooler cocoa.
licked his lips a little after. "This is good..."
snorts, "Braggart." He had to agree, though.
sticks his tongue out at the other. "I can make awesome cocoa~"
huffs, nodding in defeat.
smirks at that as he leaned back and sipped more.
drinks the rest of his cocoa, leaning on the table after.
smirks. "I should make this for ye more often~"
certainly wouldn't complain, though he's slightly suspicious. "Why?"
shrugs. "Why not? I'm awesome at makin' it.
.. just leaves it at that then, since he liked the cocoa..
smirks. He took that as victory.
Håkon
thinks
he shouldn't get used to it.
Søren
wonders
why?
because he won't give up so easily next time, that's why.
would still totally win! He always did.
looks blankly at him before getting up and putting his cup in the sink.
finishes after and goes to was his cup after.
(( Had I been home I would've stayed up all night, but I'm not so I have to go to sleep now =n= Natta <3 ))
leans on the counter, wondering what to do with the rest of the cocoa...
((Okies, niiiight~ Be safe. >w< ))\
Søren
thinks
they could make more maybe...
would just heat it up again later.
shrugs and washes his cup, after sipping the very rest out.
leans back, crossing his arms. He didn't have much to talk about.
didn't either... not much changed from the last time he visited.
((I'm goin' out again, see ya~))
((Bye~ Be safe! ))
sighs. He goes to sit in the couch, picking up a magazine on his way and starts reading it after he's seated.
dried the cups after then followed him into the living room, sighing.
turns to a new page. "What's up?" he says in response to the sigh, without taking his eyes off the page.
shrugs. "Nothin'. S'just sad when we got nothin' to do."
keeps skimming an article. "I'm not keepin' you captive, y'can leave whenever you want."
nods. "Ja, I know. But with ye I at least have company."
shrugs. "...We could.. watch a movie or... play a game, or-" he stops talking, realising he sounds like a little kid.
smiles a bit. "I'd not mind playin' a game. Ye got any in mind?"
blinks. He barely remembers what he had of games. "..Station or board?"
hums. New school, or old school... "Uh... board?"
"Right." He drops the magazine and walks over to a shelf, pulling out various old games stacked on top of each other.
looked over the names and hummed. "... Twister?"
(( Ooh... xDD ))
pushes the other games away. Nods, "Okei, I don't remember it though.." He unpacks the game, curious at its contents.
smirks and lays out the mat. "Easy. One of us spin at a time, then whatever colour it lands on we put our hand or foot there~"
((I don't know why, but I always see Den liking Twister...))
(( Interesting head-canon))
... "..Okei.." He sits down and places the needle-thingy between them.
smirks and flicks it, getting left hand red. So he did that. "See? Easy~"
nods and spins the needle. He got up and put his right foot on one of the yellow spots, as instructed.
hummed as he flicked again and put his left foot on blue.
bent down to spin it before placing his left foot on a red beside Denmarks hand.
spun and got right hand yellow, so he turned to do that.
crouched down to put his right hand on green as he got that.
pouts a little as he got right leg red. It was already getting fun for him.
Håkon
has
trouble understanding the purpose of it yet. He spins it and places his left hand on yellow.
reached over and spun, putting his left leg on green, beside Norge's hand.
smiles slightly, amused at the others posture. He huffed as he got right hand red, crossing his arms awkwardly to do so.
got left leg blue, which he more so got easily. After some wiggling.
pressed his lips into a thin line as to not laugh. He spun the needle, reaching his left hand under the Dane to get to a new yellow.
cursed as he got right foot yellow... and some how contorted himself to get there. He hoped he didn't fall on the others hand.
managed to awkwardly spin it to left foot green. He leant on his hands to keep his balance.
shifted his left hand to the blue, laughing a bit. "See? This is fun!"
snorts, "Yeah, we look ridiculous." He struggles to keep himself up when he spins next, getting right hand blue and moves to it.
chuckles as he got left foot red, almost having to go over the other to get it.
gets right hand blue, shifting to one under Denmarks leg.
shifts to get his right hand on blue as well, just a few inches away from Norge's. He was glad he had long limbs...
huffs, because he doesn't and it seems to be to an advantage in this game. He moves his right foot to a red, balancing better now.
groans a bit as he moved his right hand to green. "S'gettin' hard now..."
"Keep up old man." He spins it before shifting his left foot to blue, struggling himself.
huffs. "I'm not an old man!" He brought his right hand to red, keeping up still.
smirks slightly. He moves his right hand to a green, flailing a bit but still managing.
laughs at that as he tried to move his right foot to blue, but ends up falling. He tried not to squish the other too much.
flails before falling with him. He groans ... before starting to laugh.
laughs with him. "That was fun..."
wheezes, rolling away from under him and continues laughing.
just stays on the mat, laughing some more.
crawls over to him after having calmed down a bit. "T-that was ridiculous. S-stop makin' me do such things." He pokes his side lightly.
chuckles and wiggled at that, looking over to him. "Oh come on, ye know ye had fun!"
tries to sigh, but fails because he's still laughing. "Fiiinee, it was."
smirks widely. "I knew it."
rolls over on his back in defeat while he tries to calm down completley. He really wasn't used to fits of laughter.
just smiled and looked at him. He looked so different like this. But happy.
sits up after a while, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "Right..." He's still smiling, not noticing to do anything about it.
just kept smiling. "Ye look so different when ye're laughin'."
shakes his head, "I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not."
chuckles and sits up. "It's nice. I like seein' ye smile."
... "Hm." He didn't know what to say to that. He rubs the back of his hand over his mouth as if to wipe off the abnormal grin.
smirks and pats his back. "S'okay to laugh and smile, silly."
just shrugs. He tugs at the mat for the other to get off, wanting to pack up the game.
made a sound but got up and helped him with it.
got it packed up quickly with the others help. He sat leaning against the wall after, sighing contently.
smirks and ran a hand through his hair. "We should do that again some time, with more people."
frowns a bit. "That'd easily get uncomfortable.." Not that it had been comfortable to start with.
shrugs. "So? It's fun!"
sighs, "Alright, sure." He doubts it'll happen, though, so he doesn't really think over his answer.
Søren
thinks
once they get friends it'll be better..
gets up and gathers the board games, putting them back where he found them.
hummed. "Oh! I know someone who'd play!"
blinks, looking over at him. "Uhm... Who ?"
smiles. "Belgium!"
leans sideways against the wall with his hands in his pockets. "Belgia ? Isn't that a bit random, even for you."
shakes his head. "Nej, I've kinda seen her on and off as of late."
smirks slightly. "Oh, really now."
blushes a bit. "Ah! Not like that... just... visitin' her."
just smirks more at this. "Really ? Doin' what ?"
pouts. "Eatin' waffles and playin' with her new pet ferret..."
"Cute."
rolls his eyes. "The ferret's adorable."
just shakes his head, amused.
"I might go visit again. I like the ferret."
crosses his arms. "I didn't know you liked animals when you're not killin' 'em."
pouts. "I do! I think they're cute! And it's not like ferrets gotta lotta meat on 'em..."
nods. "I don't think it'd be very charmin' of you to kill her pet either."
shakes his head. "Nej, she'd hate me for it..."
shrugs. "Anyway, sure. Havin' her over isn't a bad idea ,then, if she wants."
smiles and nods. "I'll see what she's up to when we wanna play next."
snorts. "I didnt mean for just playin' neccesarily."
((murph, Imma sleep now =w= TTY tomorrow perhaps))
((Ah~ Okies. -w- Sleep well! ))
smiles and nods. "Okay. I'll maybe bring her around some time then, when it's okay..."
nods slowly, "Ja.."
hums. "Who knows? Maybe ye two will become friends!"
shrugs. "Larger wonders've happen'd I guess."
nods a few times. "Maybe ye can become friends with the Pot head too..."
looks at him. "Who ? An' I'm perfectly capable of findin' friends on my own if I'd want to."
chuckles. "Netherlands."
"Pot he- Oh.. Of course."
smirks and nods. It was his little nickname for him. Quite appropriate in his mind.
shrugs. "Whatever." He'd keep to Nederland, personally.
had a pretty good relationship with him. So he liked to have fun~
just hoped he wouldn't get an own nickname. He went to put his fiddle back where he'd found it upstairs.
wondered how he'd feel if he called him Nor-Nor...
would think it sounds ridiculous.
might start calling him it for fun~
might have to harm him every time, in that case.
... hums. "Nor-Nor~"
had come back down in the living-room after putting the instrument away. He glares at the other when he hears him, "What?"
smirks and sways back and forth. "Nor-Nor~"
strides quickly up to him, grabbing his collar with one hand. "Don't call me that."
chuckles and looks at him. "Why noootttt~?"
huffs, his grip firm, glaring. "'Cause it sounds like somethin' a mom'd call her kid, or a love-struck teen her boyfriend. Ridiculous."
smirks and leans closer. "Nor-Nor~"
harshly tightens his grip and so the shirt around the others neck. "What of 'don't call me that' didn't you understand y'idiot." he hisses.
almost liked seeing Norge upset like that. "It's so easy to tease ye." He said quietly.
digs his nails into the others skin at that, glaring heatedly.
twitches a little but just smirks more. "S'just a name, Nor-Nor."
hisses, "My name's Norge." he stomps heavily on his foot, bringing up his other hand to better twist the collar.
made a small sound and shrugged. "S'just fun knowin' how easy it is to upset ye."
huffs angrily. He lets go and backs a few steps away, crossing his arms tightly. "Some friend you are."
rolls his eyes. "I'm just messin' with ye Norge~" He smiled to him.
stares disapprovingly at him. "Don't do it again."
smiles and pats his shoulder. "I only do it to tease ye~"
twitches away. "I don't see a reason for it."
shrugs. "Ye know I just mess around. S'in my nature~"
sighs, "Just wonderful."
ruffles his hair a bit.
swats his hand away, brushing his hair back the way it was.
smirks. "Ye know I don't really mean it..."
looks at him, loosening his arms a little. "If you say so.. Though it's still annoyin'."
smiles and tilts his head. "It wouldn't be mean if I wasn't annoyin'~"
sighs half-heartedly. "That's not really a trait one should be proud over."
shrugs. "S'one that's stuck with me over the years."
just shakes his head. "At least you're aware, I guess."
nods. "Mhmm~ Imagine if I wasn't, eh?"
twitches a bit. "Nei, I'd rather not."
chuckles. He rubbed his neck a bit from where the others nails had been. "I should probably head home."
Håkon
feels
slightly bad for that now.. He nods and let his arms drop, following him to the door.
followed him. He wasn't hurt by it or anything, and had been through much worse.
leant against the wall. "You tell me when you want that bar crawl you were talkin' 'bout to start. I don't have much work this week."
smirks and nods. "Ja. I'll call ye when I've got it planned."
nods, "Good."
smiles and waves as he left.
waves a bit back, closing the door after.
smirked a bit as he continued to rub his neck and leave.
