got a new necklace while looking around today. She really liked the shape and all the beads.
Dorthe
thinks
it looks pretty cool~
agrees. There were some other necklaces that were nice too. Small beads are great to make complex-looking necklace.
Dorthe
wonders
if she could check it out with her something. A girl could never have enough jewellery to be happy.
or*
guesses the other could if she wanted too...
Dorthe
hopes
she wasn't intruding or anything though! She was just bored. Really bored.
doesn't really mind. She was rather bored too. It's why she started looking at jewelry.
knows that feeling quite well. " So~ Anything else in mind lately?"
“Not much really. Things have been a little slow as of late.”
hums. " Really? Must be cause of the good weather." She nods to herself and laughs.
“Does seem like a few things like slowing down in good weather... At least it's good for looking at stars.”Which she seems to be doing a_
lot of lately.
nods. " Ja, star gazing is great these days. I'm thinking of taking my boat out for some of that." She grins.
nods lightly. “That sounds nice.” A bit different at least.
shrugs. " I could take you out to star gaze of you want." She smirks.
pauses half in a thought before shaking her head slightly. “No, I won't want to trouble you.” Though she does kind of want to...
stretches. " Ah, no worries! It's decided then~ We'll go star gazing after shopping." She winks.
pauses again before nodding. “Okay then.”
smiles. " Ja. You looking for anything in particular today?"
"No, not really. Just looking around."
tilts her head. " Hm~" Her eye catches a necklace from the window. " What do you think about that one?"
looks at it. "That one looks rather nice. The fleur-de-lis is rather nice on jewelery."
nods. " Ja but it doesn't seem to fitting." She pouts.
"Maybe a different charm could work. Silver-colored jewelry is always a good type though."
nods. " Well, it's technically not for me..." She laughs nervously.
hums. "Who's it for then?"
smiles a little awkwardly. " Just a birthday present for a friend. A guy friend..."
raises a brow. "Really? And who, may I ask, might this guy friend be?"
blinks and reddens a bit. " Ohumhe'sjustacertaintulipcountryyouknowNetherlandsandyeah." She said it in a rush and smiles awkwardly again.
Evelin
was
able to catch most of that surprising. “Really? Netherlands, you say?” She manages to smiles a bit. It wasn't hard to figure this out. “You_
like him?”
shakes her head quickly. " Nej Nej, just a friend. I insist!"
hums. "Of course. Though your acting a bit weird for him to a be 'just a friend'."
covers her face to hide her blush. " Just help me out please...I'm not good at this stuff..."
kind of thinks it's cute how the other is acting as she knows. "Sure. If you do want to get him a necklace, usually slightly longer cords_
are better. Darker colors too."
nods as little as she tries to recover. " I see...I wasn't really sure what to get him in the first place..."
"Do you know what he likes then? A necklace could be good though depending on what you get."
tilts her head a bit. " Well him being a bit of an enigmatic person I guess. He does like his flowers and his rabbit." She nods.
Evelin
thinks
about that for a moment. "Maybe something more like that could work..." She points over to another necklace she sees.
nods a little. " That looks nice but seems a bit dark..." She tried imagining it but shook off the thought.
"More of a light gray then would be nicer?" She really didn't know what the male Netherlands looked like, so she was guessing a bit.
nods. " Maybe." The female Holland was actually quite similar minus a couple details.
tries to think of the woman then. "Maybe more cream colors would work better."
nods and looks around. " I hope it works for him..."
"It should as long as it's not a really bright shade."
Dorthe
thinks
for a bit. " Let's keep looking I guess." She nods.
agrees trying to see if she could find anything.
Dorthe
is
actually quite happy she found her. She didn't know who else to ask about helping her with the task.
guesses she is glad to help. Now only if something would show up that could be a good gift.
Dorthe
hopes
they are able to find something. Then again, there was an entire month to search.
A month? Well, that probably would help. Maybe they could find something almost right, and the other could find something similar somewhere_
else later.
Dorthe
is
a bit confused by what she means...
Evelin
thinks
she was trying to say get ideas now and then find the actual gift later.
(Though the plurker may have just been distracted and went the long way about writing things.)
totally understands that part. So it means that now she had to think of the perfect gift.
((No problem xD))
agrees. Now what to give a mysterious guy who liked flowers and rabbits. She laughed a bit as she looked at a few cell phone straps though._
They were kind of cute... Though maybe not exactly something to get. Even if they were bunnies.
...would fawn over how adorable they were but it was really awkward for a guy getting something like that.
guesses she agree with that.
looks around. This was a lot harder than she had thought it would be...
Evelin
thinks
'the perfect gift' might not be the easiest thing to find.
Dorthe
is
going to try her best and consider it a challenge then~
Evelin
thinks
that might be a good way to think of it.
continues to look around. She was thinking of getting him a music box...but it would seem pretty random.
Evelin
wonders
why she wanted to get a music box?
*.
thought it seemed cool...
doesn't think it sounds like a bad idea. A music box could be a nice gift.
doesn't know where to get one though.
Evelin
thinks
thinks one could get them online and at those stores that sell knick-knacks.
doesn't really use her computer much unless it involves work or watching videos online.
|They could at least look up a place that sells music boxes. She could do it from her phone even.
didn't know her phone could do that! She pulls it out her new phone...the one she had to replace her old one with after a dunking incident.
nods. "There is usually a feature somewhere if you have it. Make sure the wireless is on though."
blinks as she followed her instructions. "...like this?" She was pretty surprised at the functions on her phone.
"Mm hm. Just online and go to some search engine and type in what you are looking for."
pressed a couple buttons on the touch screen. " I just put in like music box into Google." She blinks at the first entry. " Wikipedia?"
"You probably want to be more spefic and use 'music box dealers' and maybe click the 'maps' link at the top. I don't think Wikipedia would_
be helpful at the moment."
*specific
nods and goes according to her instructions again. " Oh. There's a lot."
"Just find one that looks good then. And we'll find out where we need to go to."
pouts. " Are these legit though? I heard a lot of weird things about being scammed and what not."
“Well, it's a bit harder to be scammed this way. Scamming is usually using false information to obtain money. Since all we are doing is_
finding places to walk over to, the most likely way we would get scammed is placing an false order at the store we go to. Usually, the_
worse thing to happen is we just find a place that doesn't exist or isn't in a good area.”
nods a little. " I see...oh this one isn't too far from here! There's even a picture of the store." She nods.
"Okay. Lead the way then."
awkwardly follows Google Map cause that's what cool people do. Not really buuuut she stops at a store that looks weird.
follows slightly behind. "Is this the place?" she asks.
looks up from her phone to the sign and then to Evelin. " I think so."
(wondering: good kind or bad kind of weird?)
((I actually have no idea...let's go with good. Cause it sounds nice? :'D ))
hums looking in the windows seeing a person or two. "It seems open."
((Awesome. Though now, I'm imagining one of those stores with the weird things in the window and/or the shop's pet cat.))
((Whatever works for us? I think o A o ))
nods and opens the door for them. " Let's check it out I guess."
walks in. It was sort of an interesting little shop. "This seems to be a good place." A little dusty here and there though.
Dorthe
is
right behind her and takes a glance around. " I wonder if they have something nice..."
Evelin
thinks
a place like this probably would have at least interesting to see. "Could be possible. Maybe we should look to see where they may have_
music boxes."
nods. " There's still plenty of others we could check."
looks around trying to find book-sized boxes. "Mh hm. Just a process of elimination."
agrees. " Yeah." She checked a couple but the sound wasn't very nice...
frowns a bit at the sound. Maybe they should try the next one.
checks the next few but frowns as well. " Seems a bit off even for my liking..."
nods. "Probably be good to find the next place then."
shrugs and checks her phone again. " The next one's a bit farther from here but still within walking distance."
hums. "Well, that's good then."
walks out of the store holding the door for her. " I wonder if there are places that you can make them from scratch."
follows. "I'm not sure if they have places like that, but you could find those DIY kits for making songs. Could probably make a box around_
tthe instrument too."
blinks. " Really? I've never heard of such things."
nods. "I haven't really tried it, but you can find them. They use a slips of paper it seems to make them produce songs. Though it's also_
possible to buy the instrument itself with a song on it already."
just stares at her. " ...That sounds really long...and hard."
nods. "Probably is. Unless there is a guide or something."
rubs her neck. " I think a custom made one would be a good idea but I don't think I'll be able to DIY myself."
"You probably could find other ways to get a custom one as well. I don't know other ways though."
nods a little. " Tak, I'll see what I can do then."
nods a bit in agreement. "Okay."
puts her phone away. " You hungry or anything?"
“A bit.” She really hasn't eaten much today, but then again, it's rather usual for her.
hums a bit. " You wanna grab some food to eat before we head to the harbour then?"
nods. “Sure.”
nods as well and stretched. " Uh, you like anything in particular?"
"No, not really."
Dorthe
thinks
of a good place they could eat. "...What craving am I having now...?"
just follows not minding where ever she may be taken to.
takes them to a fast food restaurant. She hasn't eaten hamburgers in a while.
guesses a hamburger sounds pretty good.
nods and orders for them both.
Evelin
wonders
why she is ordering for both of them.
wanted to thank her for helping her out. So why not?
guesses that she'll accept the thanks then... and will thank her for the food.
finds it no problem seeing that they were friends right?
|... Yes, no problem at all.
brings her the food and seats at a table nearby.
sits down across from the other before looking at the food for a moment and taking one of the hamburgers.
digs in happily. " Hope you don't mind me." She laughs.
shakes her head. "Not at all." She take small bites of her food.
nods to that and continues to eat. " Have you seen Fin lately?"
nods. "Not too long ago, and I'll be seeing her next weekend too."
tilts her head curiously. " Really? Do you mind telling her I said hi then. I haven't seen her for ages!"
nods. "Sure. I'll make sure that I remember that if I can get that in."
grins. " Tak! I seriously owe you one." She laughs.
smiles a bit before taking another bit of her hamburger.
hums and finishes her food quickly. She liked hanging around another girl.
isn't as quick to finish her food. She never really ate fast anyways.
didn't mind. They had plenty of time to relax, she was just hungry. That's all.
Evelin
is
glad not to be rushed then.
stares out the window looking at her own reflection. Maybe she should trim her hair or something.
Evelin
thinks
the other's hair is fine unless she's worried about split ends or her hair in her eyes. Though it reminds Eve she'll probably have to trim_
her bangs again soon.
usually just clips her hair to the side to avoid it getting in her face. She just wondered if it was too long.
doesn't think it is. (Says The Former Miss Rapunzel.)
...just wonders how long Evelin's hair used to be then...
|... The longest was around her ankles, usually it was a bit past her knees. It wasn't til recently that she had short hair.
Dorthe
is
quite surprised by that. Even she couldn't grow her hair that long...her own achievement was down to her butt.
doesn't know why she's surprised. She already had it down to her thighs when they first met in the 1200s. Then again to the ankles was a bit
extreme. It took decades to pull that off.
gets surprised and wowed really easily. Seriously. Anything can be really surprisingly to her...
laughs a bit inwardly at that as she talks the last few bites of her meal.
hums a bit while waiting. The weather was really good today~ It made her really bubbly.
finishes up. "Should we get going?"
nods and takes her tray for her to toss out the garbage. " Anytime~" She grins.
gets up then ready to leave.
leads the way. " Let's walk off the food and then head to the harbour. It's pretty nice out."
follows. "Alright. Sounds pretty good."
nods. " So any place you want to go walk around?"
"Somewhere with a few plants maybe. Doesn't matter much though."
taps her cheek thinking. " How about the park then?"
nods. "Sure."
smirks at that and continues walking towards the park. " Hm~"
follows a step behind the other.
nods as they reach the park nearby. She inhaled the air and heaves out a happy sigh. " Not sea air but it's still good~"
nods in agreement. The air around parks was rather nice.
takes a glance around. There were some children on the playground and some other people but overall it was like any other typical park.
takes an interest at looking at the plants.
smiles at that. She stares up at the sky for a bit.
admires how the flowers look this year. It reminds her of something, and she wonders if the flowers she pressed came out well.
Dorthe
thinks
the flowers from everywhere came out to be pretty nice. Even her tiny garden grew to be very nice.
Evelin
is
glad all the flowers seemed to be so nice then. Flowers were so delightful~
Dorthe
thinks
so too even though they had a tendency to remind her of someone.
would guess that someone would be a certain Dutch man then? Just a guess though.
...thinks she's too good at this guessing game...
Evelin
has
always been good at guessing? Or she just was able to narrow down easily.
Dorthe
thinks
that ability to guess things right was still pretty amazing...
|So, the 'someone' was the Netherlands then?
reddens again...it was.
smiles a bit. And did the other like him?
would insist they were friends...even though Evelin was on the dot again.
really wouldn't believe the other's insistence. She thought it was nice that the other likes someone.
finds liking someone just awkward...she didn't have a single clue about that kind of stuff!
doesn't think she really needs to know much about it. It's really something someone needs to find out by oneself anyways.
Dorthe
has
been trying to find out herself...but she's absolutely clueless. England's advice was not helpful either.
Evelin
wonders
what kind of advice England gave?
Dorthe
was
called 'Love Sick'...whatever that means.
|“Love Sick”? That was a bit more like desiring to be loved or something like that... Kind of a weird way to give advice if that was it
though.
still needs to get back at the Brit for insulting her cooking.
... is trying to get past the fact that England insulted someone else's cooking.
should pay him a visit now that she's reminded of that. She could bring her sword or borrow Den's axe.
... doesn't think that would be a good idea quite now. Maybe later?
Dorthe
will
still make a visit in the future. Just not anytime soon since she promised to take Evelin sailing.
Evelin
is
okay with that then.
Dorthe
will
still remember to get back at that damn Brit though...oh hey those kids look really cute play tag.
might be laughing at that nice display of short attention span theater but only inwardly. Kids are cute of course, so it was bound to happen
.
thought kids were always so adorable...
agrees with that.
would love to have kid but she didn't think nations were capable of that.
doesn't think it's impossible. Just not exactly easy to accomplish.
guesses that would make some sense. There was Greenland and Scania that could be technically her kids.
would guess that would be one way then.
shrugs a little at that thought. She did miss them though.
guesses that they were not here yet then.
Dorthe
hopes
they could manage without her. She had been worried about how they were doing.
Evelin
thinks
they probably are fine. Since many nations were gone, someone had to think of something to keep everyone okay.
Dorthe
hopes
so too.
doesn't think worrying too much would do anything either. It never seemed to work for her (no matter how much she may worry). The best thing
to do was to hope for the best.
guesses that she is right. " Should we start heading to the harbour?" She looks over to the other.
nods lightly. "Would be good to get there soon."
smiles. " Alright~ To the harbour then." She laughs.
smiles lightly ready to follow the other towards the harbor.
leads the way. She was kinda happy everything was within walking distance.
Evelin
thinks
that it's rather nice. Being able to walk from place to place was pleasant especially on a nice day.
agrees with that. It allowed her to relax and enjoy the other things in life.
does think that too. It was hard to enjoy some things when one is moving past them quickly in a bus... It did interest her every once and a_
while though: the blurs out the window of a moving vehicle.
thought that was pretty cool to watch once in a while. Yeah Dorthe gets amused too easily...
doesn't blame her. She was rather interested easily.
shouldn't mention the time she had fun with a colouring book Netherlands had in his house...
|… Maybe that would be good not to mention.
just shrugs and sees the harbour up ahead in the distance.
pushes out the thought of why Netherlands had a coloring book at his house when she sees the harbor too.
Dorthe
thinks
it'll take a long time to explain it...so she doesn't bother. She could smell the nostalgic salty air on the other hand.
could smell it too. It was kind of comforting.
smiles at that and looks over to the other female. " This is my kind of air~" She laughs.
nods in agreement.
hums a little as they approach the docks.
follows rather closely now a bit excited.
leads her over to her sail boat. " Well, here we are. You need any help climbing in?"
shakes her head a bit. "No, I'm fine." It wasn't like she hasn't been in a boat before... though she might still have trouble anyways.
nods and hops into the boat, doing the usual checking procedures and keeping an eye out for her.
gets up onto the boat slipping for a second but otherwise fine.
Dorthe
was
nearby and nods lightly. " The wind is good today~" She smirks as she checked the wind.
nods. "That's good," she says as she sits down.
smiles as she finishes up with the preparations before raising the sails.
spends the time waiting just looking out at the water. It looked so nice.
hums as she takes the boat out of the harbour towards the sea, slowly picking up speed.
looks over as the harbor slowly becomes distant.
laughs as she watched the harbour pretty much disappear not long after. " Gotta love sailing~"
nods lightly. "It's nice to be out on the water."
lets the boat drift around a bit as she leaned on the railing. " Ja, I just find it so invigorating~!"
smiles. "I find it to be a place to be rather content. There are so many pleasant memories out here."
chuckles at that as she gazes out to the water. " There are and I would never forget any of them."
nods in agreement. "Yeah, good memories shouldn't be forgotten anyways."
shrugs a little. " I like remembering them both. Good or bad."
hums a little not exactly sure that she agrees. There was a bad memory or a few that she rather forget.
nods as she continues to stare out into the sea. She had always been an odd one to remember all sorts of things.
Evelin
has
a rather good memory too, but she wishes she didn't sometimes.
Dorthe
wonders
why is that. Having a good memory is a good thing in her opinion.
|Again, she rather not remember somethings or more like not remember certain details.
won't bother her about it then. She was just a tad curious~
Evelin
is
grateful that the other would bother her about it.
wouldn't poke into someone's business unless it concerned her about it...or Norge.
understands that.
seats herself on the railing and just watches the scenery after. There really wasn't much to say.
really doesn't mind not talking as she waits for the stars to come out. It was really nice and calm.
waits for the sunset. It was one of her most favourite things to see while sailing.
|The sun reflecting brilliantly] against the sea... Yeah, it probably be one of her favorite things to see out on the water too.
*brilliantly
sighs a little. If she brought her viola, it would've been even more amazing. Then again, she didn't want to make it awkward for the other.
wouldn't have mind. She does love music. It would have actually been rather lovely to hear.
just hums a bit then, hoping it suffices. She'l bring her viola next time if that's the case~
guesses it does a might be humming along a bit. She'll be glad too hear the viola then next time.
wasn't the best at the viola but she was taught it from one of her bosses a long time ago, so she just plays it once in a while now.
Evelin
thinks
that it nice that she plays it anyways even if it isn't the best. It's good just knowing how to play and to still play any instrument. Or to
sing too. Any music was rather wonderful to her.
could sing. She didn't think she was the best but she loved to sing.
rather loves singing too. It's amazing what voices can do.
think's it's pretty awesome too.
|Especially with all the variations between singing styles and singers~
remembers how different it was back in the day compared to the present. It has really come a long way.
agrees with that. Most things seemed to have come a long way though.
nods a little. Too much time has passed though...it seemed like a big change in a blink of an eye.
Evelin
thinks
it seems that way when looking back. Everything seems so much more condensed when thinking about the past.
heaves a content sigh as she watched the sun beginning to set. She was glad it was something never changed.
watches too. The sun shining across the surface of the water was a pleasant sight.
could never find any words to describe the sight. It always left her baffled and speechless no matter what.
turns her head looking at the darkening sky following the sun.
smiles as she saw the moon appearing.
looks down back to the sun looking at all the colors. It was nice how clear the ssky was.
*sky
Dorthe
was
really glad she went sailing today. She could've missed all this!
agrees with that.
stretches as bit as she watches the sun slowly dive into the horizon.
Evelin
is
watching out to see the first stars show up. It was almost dark enough.
smiles a bit looking out for the stars as well
spots one shining weakly due to how it wasn't quite dark enough yet.
waits patiently for the other stars to appear. She preferred to stargaze when all the stars were visible.
just looks at the one star for a while waiting to see when other would appear around it.
hums a little and decides to grab a beer from the storage while waiting. " You want any?" She raises the bottle to show her.
nods slightly. "Sure."
hands her a cold one before opening her own bottle and taking a swig.
opens her bottle to take a drink. Not exactly what she was used to drinking, but it was good.
shrugs. It was Danish beer though~
just doesn't drink much beer. Though, she does rather like it all the times she has had it.
Dorthe
is
glad she's okay with it then~
Evelin
is
glad too. She hasn't had a drink in a bit anyways.
Dorthe
has
other things besides beer if she wants.
winders what she has then.
Dorthe
has
pop and juice in case she went sailing with the younger nations like the Icelands.
... will stick with the beer then. (And not mention that she is the same age as the Icelands.)
knows Thora likes beer but she is for sure Eyvindur doesn't drink.
knows that male Iceland doesn't drink... However, she still wonders why he saw him one time at a bar...
never heard about him being at a bar...
just saw him there once. For what reason? It seems he just likes going to random places.
wouldn't stop the kid from drinking if he wanted to though~
hums to that and goes back looking at the stars.
Dorthe
wonders
if she could recognize any constellations...
can recognize a few so far.
remembers just the big dipper the best...cause of the Northern Star.
Evelin
thinks
that is definitely a good one to remember.
couldn't remember the last time she forgot about that star. It was by far her favourite.
doesn't really have a favorite star, but the Northern Star was surely the most memorable.
still thinks that pretty awesome though~
