Louise
has
been feeling really lonely.
doesn't know who she is (yet), but since she looks lonely, he wouldn't mind bringing over a cup of tea for her. J-Just because he made an_
_extra cup!
looks up at the male who looks a lot like her version of england. She notes the cup of tea and tilts her head in curiousity.
looks back down at her. Germany. A sigh as he held it out towards her. "I-I made an extra cup so here."
blinked in surprise and offered a small smile, gently handling the cup and murmuring, " Danke." She took a sip, liking the taste.
nodded and gestured towards the empty space beside her. "Do you mind if I sit here?" H-His legs were just tired!
looked up and nodded, murmuring, " Nein... not a problem." She took another sip, enjoying the hot liquid.
smiles just the slightest. "Thank you." He sat down beside her. "O-Oh. How completely rude of me. I am Arthur, Arthur Kirkland."
blinked at the words but figured Arthur was being a gentleman. She nodded and murmured softly, " Hello Arthur, my name is Meika Beilschmidt.
It is nice to meet you."
*is* a gentleman. "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance." He looked to the cup of tea. "I hope that is to your liking?"
looked back down at her cup and murmured, " It is, danke. I do like tea, though I drink it, beer and coffee fairly regularly."
does not like coffee, but as for beer... "You drink beer? Maybe we should go and get a round some time."
smiled quietly and murmured, " Ja... I think I'd like that. German beer is my favorite. Especially during Ocktober fest."
chuckled. It would be interesting... To have a female as company for drinking. He could only hope he would not end up doing anything_
_foolish. "So, what were you doing all alone here?"
shrugged and murmured, " Thinking, trying to find something to do. It's been hard, and while I enjoy my dogs' company, some human contact is
_important as well." She wouldn't mind drinking with Arthur, and while it took her a while to get drunk, she was a bit more... loose when
_drunk.
nodded, somehow understanding. It was the same with his fairies, unicorns, leprechauns and whatnot. Although, with them, he never really_
_needed any form of human companionship, or so, he likes to think. "Well," He was assuming that the relationship between the alternate_
_Germany and Italy is the same between the one's of his own world. "What about Italy?"
sighed sadly at the and just stared into her cup of tea. She fiddled with it, murmuring, " I haven't seen Italia in two to three months. I
_think she somehow went back to our world."
frowned now and looked away. "I am not exactly clear on how all this happened but wherever she is, I am sure she would be fine." He then_
_thought back on those... Odd occurrences. Specifically those times when Roma Antiqua appeared. "Italy always makes it through, no matter_
_the circumstances." That is, of course, assuming that whatever that had happened to them before, happened to their alternate versions as_
_well.
sighed and ran a hand through her hair, murmuring,
" It is true... During the wars Italia always did manage to make it through. Though the Second War always did bother me."
"Ah yes." His frown deepened. "But what happened in the past is in the past, she survived and that is the most important thing." A small_
_smile of reassurance. "She will come to you. She always had, hadn't she?"
fiddled with her mug and murmured, " I suppose... she did normally come to me so I figure she'll be back... eventually."
"She will." He could tell that she was upset by this and quite truthfully, he had no idea what he could do to cheer her up. He was no good_
_when it comes to these things. And so, he did the next best thing he could think of... "How about we go get that round now?" He suggested._
_Well, that is what *he* does when he is upset. To get wankered.
chuckled quietly and nodded, murmuring, " Ja... sounds good. Any where you want to go?" She finished her tea, thankful to it.
offered to help throw her cup to the nearest dustbin. He then shook his head. "The lady get to pick, hm?" And it was also because she was_
_upset, so he wanted her to pick somewhere where she is comfortable with.
blinked and smiled softly, feeling quite happy to be treated like a lady. She tossed out her cup and murmured, " I know a good bar a few
_blocks down. So if you want to we can head there."
"That sounds jolly good to me." He said before standing up. "Let's go then." He would have to be careful with the amount he drinks later...
nodded and stood, checking she still had her wallet on her and lead the way to the pub. She was comfortable leading the way and slid into
_the bar, a few patrons there greeting the tall woman.
| Louise seems like a regular here... England thought before stepping into the bar as well. As for money, well, he had planned on counting_
_all of it on his tabs.
looked back at England and murmured, " Come on Arthur. I know of a good place to sit." She moved through a few of the stronger men, a few
_reaching out to touch her hands or shirt. They were a mix of german blooded men, so she understood to urge to reach out. She was their
homeland, if not a different gender.
nodded and followed after Louise. As the other pushed her way through some of the burly men, he gulped. She is strong... Then again, they_
_were countries. But still...
turned to see if Arthur was following, hoping the british nation was behind her. It was easy to get trapped in here.
looked at her and furrowed his eyebrows when she had stopped. "What's wrong, Miss Louise?"
shrugged and murmured, " I thought I had lost you Arthur. Come... there's a good spot by the bar." She kept moving, finding one of her
_favorite spots and getting Arthur to join her.
nodded once more and furrowed his eyebrows, secretly wondering if it was easy to lose him. W-Was he *that* short? He sure hoped not. He_
_joined her at the selected area, nodding slightly in approval.
smiled somewhat wryly and murmured, " This is one of my favorite spots to go to. It's in a nice section, and if there's a brawl I can easily
_get out." The female raised a single hand and ordered a large mug of german beer, asking Arthur, " Anything you specifically want? The bar
_caters to all types of beers and alcoholic beverages."
looked around a bit. "A-Ah. Is that so?" He had hardly witnessed a brawl before since, well... He gets drunk quicker than anything. He_
_nodded when Louise spoke again. "A mug of brown ale would be good. Newcastle's, if you have them." He, admittedly, felt a little nervous_
_here since the men were much, *much* larger than he is.
watched the waitress disappear off to get their drinks. She turned her gaze to some of the rowdier men and murmured, " You nervous Arthur?"
shook his head quickly and forced out a laugh. "N-No! Why ever would you have that idea? Ha... Ha."
raised an eyebrow in response before shaking her head at her companion, leaving it be. She smiled as their drinks were brought to them,
_easily curling her hands around the mug in delight. She always had a good time drinking.
sighed inwardly in relief, thinking that she completely bought his reply. They were then distracted by the their drinks and he received it_
_with a thankful smile. When he saw a smile on Louise's face too, he supposed bringing her here was not a bad idea at all. He held up his_
_mug. "Cheers?"
chuckled and murmured, " Cheers... to getting drunk and not caring about why." She clicked her mug against his, taking a gulp with a happy
_sigh.
nodded a little with a smile in return. He was glad to see the other in a much better mood now, or at least, he thought so. He took a deep_
_breath before taking a large mouthful and swallowing it down.
watched quietly and took another sip of her drink, not as large as her first. She looked around and noticed a table of slightly rowdy men.
_They were jostling each other and it looked like it would soon turn into a bit of a brawl.
backed up closer against the wall, seeming like as if he is shying away from the scene if violence... Which he actually is. He took another_
_sip and tried go ignore it. "B-Bollocks..." He muttered under his breath.
((of* violence))
tilts her head and takes another sip, catching the bartender's eye and jerking her head to the side. he spotted the possible brawl and moved
_to end it, not wanting to ruin his good night.
sighed in relief and sank further into his seat. "You do not really seem phased by it." He commented, more than a little impressed.
((*patpat* ))
(-smiles-)
shrugs and murmurs, " I go to Ocktober Fest... nothing phases me when it involves beer and bars." She grinned slightly lopsided and took
_another sip, remembering her beer wench dress she has in her closet.
nodded a little. He had never really been to an Ocktober Festival before. It must be quite rough, given her reply. Although, Louise in a_
_beer wench dress--... Bad thought! Bad thought! He quickly took another sip of his drink.
smirked and murmured, " If you ever want to come one year... All you will need to do is wear lederhosen."
"Lederhosen...?" He thought for a moment, trying to recall before his face turned deep red. "T-There is no way I am wearing that!" A-And it_
_was not like he wanted to go or anything... Really.
hums and murmurs, " I can get you lederhosen for any lover of yours if you want?" She was having a bit of fun with Arthur, still sipping at
_her beer.
flushed even more at that. How did she--? W-Wait, does she--? He opened his mouth to answer, but no words came out because he didn't know_
_what to say. He quickly tried to cover up by taking another sip of his drink and glaring into the mug.
chuckled quietly and murmured, " I was joking Arthur... I do not know who your dating... I just guessed."
cleared his throat upon hearing that and tried to look as nonchalant as he could. "R-Right... I know that... O-Of course..."
smirks into her mug, murmuring, " You're cute... sorry, I meant to warn you... I am very talkative when I am drinking."
| Whatever nonchalance that England tried to put on disappeared quickly when he heard the words from the German. His face turned red all_
_over again as he glared down at his mug, as if it had offended him. "N-No, that is quite fine..."
hummed and went back to her drink, hearing a few wolf whistles and blushing a bit. As much as she liked her people... she was still
_uncomfortable with positive attention from men.
notices this. As a gentleman, he would not stand to have his female companion being given that kind of attention as if she was alone and_
_looking for company. He hovered his hand over hers, "Do you mind?"
looked at Arthur with slight relief, turning her hand to lace with his. She didn't mind him being a gentleman and appreciated the gesture.
smiled a little. He then threw a slight but smug smirk over to the men. He couldn't help himself. "I am not surprised, Miss Louise. You_
_*are* quite the attractive lady." He complimented.
blushed in surprise, unsure of how to respond to that. She nibbled her bottom lip and murmured, " Thank you for the compliment Arthur." She
_didn't believe it because of how her muscles and build was. She could understand the other german men appreciating it, but Arthur? She
_wasn't so sure about it.
chuckled a little and shook his head, "You are welcome." As for that, well uh... He does... Have... A boyfriend... Whose... Build is..._
_He flushed a little at the memory and quickly took a gulp of his ale. And she does have quite a pretty face. Shame though that she kept_
_her hair that short.
tilted her head to the side but decided not to comment on the sudden flush on his cheeks. If he was anything similar to her version of
_England, he probably already had someone... though she wasn't one hundred percent sure she really wanted to know. She ran a hand through
_her hair and ordered a much larger pint of beer, kind of needing the alcohol right now. She noticed a few drunk men gearing up to approach
_their table.
tried not to let the approach of the men bother him. He appeared nonchalant and ordered another large mug of ale, getting into this_
_drinking session more than he had intended to. He kept his hand on hers.
kept her mug in her hand, glad for the steel of the cup. One of the humans leant on the table and said rudely, " Hey Liebling.. what're
_doin' wit' this Garnele?" Louise made a face and wanted to get this guy away. As much as she liked her people, they were dumb drunks. She
_sighed and murmured, " Having a good time. Go away."
had not idea what 'Garnele' means, but if he does, well... He would have taken it very personally. He took a sip of his ale and spoke_
_calmly, "You heard the lady."
eyed the men as one just reached around and grabbed her. He yanked the nation out of her seat and muttered, " Yer no worth to the english
_pig. Come sit wit real men." Her face clouded over with a touch of anger and she raised her mug high before hitting the man on the head,
_tempering her strength. She watched him fall to the floor with no damage and went back to Arthur, very much annoyed.
just stared wide-eyed. She is strong, *very* strong. He shouldn't be surprised, really since Germany is, as well. He did not appreciate_
_being called a 'pig' but did not do anything, not wanting to aggravate the situation. He looked over to her as she went back, "Are you_
_all right, Miss Louise?"
downed her whole pint of beer and shoved the mug high into the air, one of the waitresses immediately replacing it. She sighed and drank
_almost half of it, murmuring, " It could be worse. Last time I had to brawl my way out of a fairly nasty situation."
frowns a little at this and took a gulp of his ale before continuing, "What happened?" He never had to experience such situations since_
_the drunks English pubs were usually more talk than do. Although most of the comments were rather snide, he had to admit.
sighed and murmured, " Some drunken idiot german decided to physically haul me over to his table. There was a lot of touching and such, so
_I ordered a glass mug of beer. I drained it and smashed it over his head. The others got pissed and I literally started a brawl to get away
_from them. As much as I love my people, we can be occasionally violent drunks." She muttered slightly darkly after the rehashing and
_drained the rest of her mug, getting another one. She was quite the regular here, and paid for her things, so they plied her with plenty of
_beer when she was in a mood.
wondered if that meant he should stop her from drinking now... "Ah." His frown deepened, "Is that so? That is unfortunate." If it had_
_been him in that situation, he would admittedly, be much more violent at being touched. Maybe he would throw the person across the English_
_channel... Wait just a bloody minute... Oh... Wait. He was describing his own situation with France. He shrugged a little and downed his_
_quickly before turning to her, "How much are you planning on drinking?"
eyed her glass and sighed, murmuring, " After I'm finished this one? Just one more. I don't want to be too drunk really. I'd rather be
_buzzed than too drunk to defend myself."
nodded, "I understand. Although," He ran a finger round the rim of his empty glass. There was a slight smirk on his face as he said this,_
_"If you *do* get drunk, you have me to offer protection." There is still that trace of pirate in him. It just takes a lot to get it out.
sensed something stronger behind Arthur and smiled, murmuring, " Danke... somehow I think you'll do a fine job protecting me. Are you sure
_I cannot get you to join me for Ocktober Fest?"
flushed all over again. He does like the idea of having to drink till he is completely smashed... And it was a little rude to be turning_
_down a lady. "W-Well... I would not mind..." He replied, a little hesitantly. He could only hope that if he *did* go, Hong Kong would not_
_suddenly appear out of nowhere like he did times before and take pictures.
smiled, pleased with this. All she needed to do was possibly find Alfred again and convince him to join and things would be a lot of fun.
_All she needed to do was get Arthur a set of lederhosen and things were good. " Danke Arthur... I'll come get you when it is time."
remains unaware to her plans. He nodded a little, "My pleasure, Miss Louise. And of course." He would need some time to mentally prepare_
_himself.
smiled and murmured, " I am glad you are able to come. And you vill be seeing me in a beer wench dress so I suppose you vill see something
_no other nation except my family has seen yet." She shrugged a shoulder and returned to her drink, quietly content.
flushed a little at her words. It would be interesting... N-Not that he was a pervert or anything! He nodded with a chuckle, "Then I guess_
_it would be an honour for me." He continued to circle the rim of his glass since he had already finished it.
watched Arthur and smiled, murmuring, " Ja... well, to the Ocktober Fest and life." She lifted her mug in a cheers and drank some more, very
_content with Arthur's companionship.
lifted his empty mug as well and laughed, "To them." He agreed before he drank off the empty mug, purely out of habit. He blushed a little_
_in embarrassment before quickly putting it down.
giggled softly and caught the attendant's eye, pointing to her companion. The waitress immediately moved to their table and handed Arthur
_another pint of his beer. She went to take Louise's beer mug and was turned away, an order for a light cider in it's place.
did not stop Louise from ordering more for him, clearly still embarrassed. He nodded a little and thanked her briefly. He wasn't sure if_
_he could hold down another mug since the two he had is now starting to get to him.
eyed Arthur to see if he could indeed handle it and received her cider. She took a sip before making a tiny face and swapping the drinks,
_preferring the taste of beer, even if it was english beer.
quirked an eyebrow. W-Well... H-How bad could it be, right? He held it up and took a tentative sip of the cider. It was surprisingly good._
_With that, he chugged it down.
did the same, drowning out the taste of cider. She wasn't a light beer drinker.
slammed down the mug after he's finished. He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to concentrate... Not working...
giggled at the slightly confounded look on Arthur's face, already knowing that she had more than enough.
England
is
feeling his judgement beginning to slip away. He swats at the air in front of Louise, "What seems to be so bloody funny?"
smiles and murmurs, " I can already tell you're drunk. Maybe we should stop so one of us can take the other home, ja?"
flailed his arms a little in protest, "I swear to drunk I am not God!" Yep, he is drunk.
laughed and kissed his cheek, murmuring, " You're drunk... and we should go to my place. It's closer. Come on." She gently hoisted him up,
_moving to pay the bartender.
only giggled when Louise kissed his cheek. That had felt a little ticklish in his drunken state of mind. He swung his free arm about,_
_"... I is not drunk~" He slurred. "Oh~ We are gone to another bar?" He had not caught the part about going to her place.
paid the man and gently tugged Arthur up, murmuring, " No silly... we're going back to my place so we can sober up a bit."
blinked up at her. "Ehhh~~~? But I can drink ten more..." He slumped towards her, his head feels swimmy and he was quite incapable of_
_supporting himself at the moment.
