finally has a few days off work, he's planning to catch up on sleep and... maybe do something else.
Turkey
thinks
Germany should show him around Berlin or even Munich.
wouldn't mind doing that, though he has to wonder why Turkey would be interested?
Turkey
has
many reasons to be interested since Ludwig holds a huge Turkish population between his borders. He also thinks it would be a good
educational experience. >D
isn't sure he trusts him, but he'd be happy to show him around.
Turkey
thinks
he has nothing to worry. He's very trustworthy. He'll meet him in Berlin in that case.
Ludwig
will
have to get himself dressed and everything in that case. He'll pick him up from the airport.
Turkey
will
be waiting for him by the exit gates in that case.
took his time getting ready, but he was waiting in front of the exit gates right on schedule.
had just walked out of the baggage area and spotted the German. "Ludwig~" He smirks lightly. "You never disappoint. Always on time."
popped his trunk as he waved to him. "Being on time is important." At least it was to him.
places his back in the trunk and can't help but laugh a bit at that. "Yes, it is." If only he was more punctual for things. "Unfortunately a
trait that most of us don't have."
nods, he knew that all to well. Gilbert had to be the worst. "Yes..." he got into the drivers side and waited for him to get in as well.
didn't waste time and gets in the passenger side. "So, where to first?"
pulled out of the parking space. "One thing I haven't planned, up to you."
quirks a brow curiously at that. "What do you think about paying a visit to Museum Island?"
thought about it for a moment and nodded, "sure that sounds like a good idea." It would take up most of the day as well, if not all of it.
had heard there were some Egyptian artifacts in one of the museums. "Hope you haven't gone to them lately."
shakes his head, he hasn't had the time to have gone to them in... well a while. "No, I've not been in a while."
smiles. "Good, then I don't have to worry about you getting bored."
didn't get bored easily, he enjoyed museums anyway. "I wont."
relaxes into his seat. "Just making sure."
glanced over at him as he drove. "Alright... if I may ask, why the sudden visit?"
shrugs. "I was bored and I hadn't seen you in a while. Thought it was a good time to visit."
nods, "I see..."
laughs a little at the response. "Not so glad to see me?" His brow quirks up at the same time a smirk appears across his lips.
shakes his head, "no I actually haven't had any one visit in a while. It's good to have company."
Turkey
is
surprised by that. "No wayward Italians?"
scowles a bit at the thought of the Italian, "no none."
scowls*
notices and chuckles lightly. "Lets make this count in that case."
tried to straighten out his expression with a smile. "Sure."
Turkey
thinks
the German needs to work on smiling. It still looked rigid.
smiles enough... he pulled onto the bridge to the island.
peers out the window curiously. Such nice locations here in Germany.
drove in silence as he was rather used to doing.
doesn't mind the silence at all.
turned on the radio eventually to a talk show.
can pick up a few things since he he had to learn German. He glances at Ludwig briefly before smirking lightly. "So how have you been?"
glanced over at him at the question, he hadn't been expecting it. "I've been okay."
quirks a brow at that. "Even with all the economic issues you've been having to face. I know it's not been easy."
furrows his brow as he nodded a bit, "don't even remind me." He'd been dealing with that stuff for weeks now.
decides to drop the topic since he'd be dealing with it for more than just weeks.
Ludwig
was
not enjoying it at all, really it was pretty stressful. He finally pulled into the parking lot and turned the car off.
steps out and closes the door behind him as he takes a good look at the area. "This will help. I can assure you."
doubts that. Museums, although fun, weren't very exciting. "We'll see."
Turkey
thinks
that depends on what type of mood you were in. He was sure there had to be something in their that would excite him. If not he was sure they
could find something to do.
could think of a few things he was seriously considering doing when he had the house to himself. He locked up the car and headed for the
main entrance.
could imagine there were things he wanted to do when the house was all to himself. Although, he thinks it would be smart to live on his own.
can't just kick his brother out." He nodded a bit.
bit with the thought. "I'll cover your entrance."
slips some Euro's into the Germans pocket and nods. "Sure, thanks." He thinks he very well can kick his brother out.
noticed that and frowned a bit but didn't say anything as they got to the ticket desk. He got two tickets and handed one over to the Turk.
doesn't care if the other noticed, he was doing much better off and didn't really like taking charity. He takes the ticket gratefully and
heads in after the German.
let the ticket taker rip his ticket before he grabbed a floor plan. "What did you want to see?"
follows the Germans lead and stops beside him. "The Egyptian stuff."
Ludwig
gives
him a bit curious and nods, "alright." He looked at the map and found the right exhibit.
Turkey
gives
him a look back before he follows the German through the maze of museum.
led him to the right room. "Still got a thing for Egypt?"
quirks a brow amused. "A thing for Egypt? I don't think it was more than a lustful conquest to be honest. He's a good kid though."
rolls his eyes at that as he moved to read the main explanation for the exhibit. "Hmm sounds like fun."
Turkey
thinks
about it...everything had started off as a lustful conquest...oh well. "Not sure what half that stuff is doing up here in Germany but I
agree, it does sound like fun."
glanced over at him, "sold, private collectors probably."
rolls his eyes at that. "Or stolen."
frowned, he had a feeling he knew where that was going.
Turkey
was
not pointing any fingers, well, not to the German....mostly the English...damn English...
would gladly side with him on that point.
Turkey
was
glad for at least that support.
started to walk around the room, taking each piece in carefully.
examines a few mummies before moving onto old pottery.
Ludwig
was
pretty focused on the pottery for a while.
notices this. "That's before my Ottoman days." He points out casually. "Nice to see it looking in fairly good shape."
looks at it and smiles a bit, "glad to know it's being kept in good shape then."
nods. "I usually don't have much to worry about when its in your care."
smiled, "I always take good care of things. Gilbert excluded."
can actually agree with that. "Yes, you do." He spots some old Egyptian art and heads over to it.
moved over to a piece of woven material, reading the plaque, though he really didn't need to.
Turkey
wonders
if there is a Hellenistic display or even an Ottoman display.
Ludwig
thinks
there might be, he continued to look over the exhibit quietly.
Turkey
thinks
they should go to one of those next.
wouldn't mind doing that.
Turkey
will
let Ludwig pick the exact one.
finished looking at all the pieces before he looked to the map and picked out the Hellenistic exhibit. It was part of the permanent
collection.
should have figured that and follows casually behind.
worked his way to the right room, not needing to check the map again.
instantly goes over to the old pottery.
followed him over to it quietly.
's eyes examine it all. "Beautiful stuff, huh."
nods, "yes." He had to agree, he did appreciate it.
glances at him out of the corner of his eye. "I heard you really like the Roman Empire, why?"
paused as he looked over at him and frowned a bit. "Why shouldn't I?"
shrugs. "I was just curious. You can like whatever you want to like."
nods a bit, confused by that. "I just think he is worth looking up to."
would disagree to that but he's actually had to deal with Rome. "I see." He says before going off to look at something else.
Ludwig
thinks
the Turk is someone to look up to as well in that sense. Both had been empires at one point.
would be surprised to hear that from Germany if he were to say it out loud.
wouldn't say it out loud... he moved on to look at more pottery.
didn't think he would.
didn't know he wanted him to admit it. "You're not still annoyed over the EU thing are you?"
pauses for a second before turning around. "Of course I am but I'm not as annoyed."
nodded slowly, "I see..." He turned his attention back to an interesting piece. "Well then... that's good..."
Turkey
thinks
that they really need to work on what topics they discuss in eachothers presences.
would agree on that point. "I apologize for bringing that up." He said quietly, he wasn't completely socially awkward.
nods. "Apology accepted and I apologize for bringing up the economy..."
shakes his head, "that's fine." He hadn't actually been upset by that.
Turkey
thinks
they're even in that case and was used to getting made fun of about not getting into the EU as sad as that sounds.
hadn't been making fun of him... at least he hadn't been trying to.
knew he wasn't, the German doesn't have to worry.
i-isn't worrying... he glanced over at him again. "Do you want to go for drinks after this?"
perks up. "Yeah, that would be great."
nods a bit before he went back to looking over the exhibit.
gets tired of the Greek exhibit and trails behind the German waiting for him to finish.
finally led him to the Turkish exhibit, it was more a general collection rather than a time specific one.
's eyes immediately widen as he enters the area glancing at all the artifacts noting that there was some stuff from the tulip era and others
from the decline and even some from Sultan mehmet's time.
walked into the room quietly, looking around. "I think a lot of the exhibit is in storage."
glances over his shoulder at him. "Are you guys planning on making the exhibit bigger?"
shakes his head, "not that I know of. They just switch stuff out every now and then, change it a bit."
nods. "Well, you have some good stuff."
blinks a bit, "glad you appreciate it."
"Want to just go for drinks now?"
nods a bit, "sure... you didn't want to look at the stuff here a bit more?"
shakes his head from side to side. 'Nah, I saw what I wanted to see."
shrugs a bit at that before he moved to leave, heading for the exit. "Alright."
follows with a grin. "No a good place?"
nods, "yeah. Gil and I go to a place that's good."
"Lead the way in that case"
got them out of the place and back to his car, unlocking it he climbed in and started it up. He had to admit, he loved the car Gil had
gotten him.
enters the car and can't help but appreciate it a second time. It was a nice car.
loved how fast it could go, really... as soon as he was on the autobahn he got over to the fast lane, not wasting any time in taking the car
up to it's full potential.
couldn't believe how smooth of a drive it was.
loved it, he would have stayed on the highway if he could, eventually though he made his turn off and slowed as he came into the quieter
streets to find parking.
merely gazes out the window a little bored.
found a spot and parked. "Here we are."
gets out of the car closing the door behind him. He glances at the place and nods, it looked quaint.
got out as well, locking the car and setting the alarm before he headed into the bar. The host greeted him and showed him to his regular
seat.
follows as he's very unfamiliar with hi surroundings.
spoke to the waitress as she asked in rushed German where his brother was and he had to explain that he was away at his boyfriend's place
for a while. She left them with menus with that.
glances down at the menus unsure of what to order but had seen a few Turkish beers so that lightened his mood.
didn't know why he seemed so... annoyed maybe? He didn't really need the menu to know what he was going to order.
Turkey
was
not annoyed just a little unused to the German's silence.
just didn't know what to say to him really... "So how's everything going for you?"
Turkey
thinks
that they need to find common ground. "It's honestly not that bad, could be worse. What about for you?"
nodded slowly, he agreed... they did need to do that. "It's been okay, quiet." He nodded. "Hungary's been fighting with Gil again."
quirks a brow not at all surprised. "Oh yeah? When do they not fight."
shrugs as he rubbed at his forehead. "When they're being grown ups... which is pretty much never."
doesn't get why or what causes them to bicker so much. He isn't even that bad with Greece anymore. "It's a little ridiculous to be honest."
nods in agreement, "and extremely annoying. Though since she's been seeing Yong Soo she's been ignoring Gilbert more..."
can imagine that would help. "Well, at least it keeps the peace."
shrugged, "I wish it did. At least it's got her over Roderich though. I think that's what it was between them for a while. Now it's just
something else, I think their very presence just annoys each other."
catches the waitress and orders himself a few beers before nodding. "That's good at least."
nods, putting in his own order. "Yeah. When she comes over, Gil leaves, it's good for that." He smiled a bit, as much as he loved his
brother, there were times.
could see that. "Does she visit often?>"
shakes his head, "only to bring cake or more books she dug up from somewhere."
nods. "I see, to bad. She's good company."
gave him a curious look with that. "Has she been visiting you often?"
smirks lightly. "Every so often, yes."
gave him a curious look at the smirk. "I see... glad to hear it then." He didn't know what to make of that.
doesn't think he needs to make anything of it. "So anybody special in your life?"
frowned at that and quickly shook his head, "no. No one even remotely close. How about you?"
shrugs. "It's complicated."
raises a brow at that, "care to explain?"
rubs at his forehead trying to find a way to explain this properly. "Well, I honestly have no idea what happened to Greece. It's as if he
disappeared off of the face of the planet...it's been nearly a year."
looked a bit shocked at that and nodded, "ah I see. That would make it complicated."
((Oh goodness, the Greece I rp with on another group, has been gone for about six months now, it's an epidemic I swear.))
(( Seriously?! ....I have two other Greece's and they have yet to disappear so I'm crossing my fingers. xD But this is an epidemic. ))
nods as he grabs the bottle the waitress left for them. "So, why no one for you? Just not interested?"
((Lucky you xD I've not been on my Turkey account for that reason >< ))
shrugs a bit as he thanked the waitress. "Been to busy with work."
(( Haha, is this another plurk community thing? ))
nods, could understand that. "Well, that would do it."
((Yeah, the gender bend one.))
sighs a bit as he took sip of his own beer. "Yeah..." he wasn't really complaining though, work was important.
agrees but so was pleasure. It was just as equally important.
(( Ahh, I see. ))
hasn't had the time for such things.
Turkey
thinks
he should make time. You could fit it during your fifteen minute break.
doesn't think that's appropriate at all.
Turkey
thinks
it is very much appropriate.
disagrees.... his boss would be less than thrilled.
would hope he doesn't get caught by his boss.
wont because there wont be anything happening.
