in the same book store hunting for a rare copy of a book he's collecting. He just about stumbled into the other nation was he was trying to

get a good look at a top shelf.

had been reading the titles at the back of some books, barely noticing him in the last second. He started slightly and stepped out of his

way, simply staring at him.

realized that he was there and instantly apologized. "I'm sorry about that." He didn't recognize him at first.

shook his head, having recognised him once he'd have a look at him. "It's fine, England."

blinked at that and finally clued in. "Ah, Norway... How are you doing?"

shrugged lightly and glanced up to the top shelf. "Holdin' up." He reached up and rested his fingers on the shelf, looking at the Brit. "A_

book y'wanted up here?" He figured he might as well help him if he did, being somewhat taller.

glanced up at the shelf again and shook his head, "no. It's not here. I'll have to check back again." He shrugged a bit, "that's good to

hear."

looked over the books on that shelf, finding nothing of interest, he put his hand in his pocket and looked back to the other. "Ah. 'n how_

'bout yourself?"

stepped back a bit to look at the shelf bellow it but still didn't see what he was looking for. "Ah I have been... surviving."

nodded calmly. "Sounds good.." He glanced at the next shelf, then back to the other nation. "Y'know, I'm sure the cashier'll know if they

have this book."
