walks out of his house with a covered axe in hand, closing the door behind him. He is glad he'd cleared the driveway of snow earlier.

ducks behind a bush and looks out at him from around it, rustling the branches as she hid.

glances briefly in the general direction of the noise, taking little notion of it. He continues on his way down the street.

glances around the edge to look at him before stepping out into the open to follow him.

remains unaware of the little stalker for now, swinging the axe idly at his side as he walks in the direction of the outskirts of town.

follows him, at least until she trips over her scarf and falls face first into the snow behind him with a yelp.

stops dead in his tracks, recognising the voice of a little girl and turns to see what was going on. He blinks, staring for a short moment before he approaches her. "Går det bra?" (Are you okay?)

blushes and stands up, brushing snow off herself. "J-ja..." (Y-yes... as if you weren't able to figure that out)

frowns lightly and gets down on one knee, looking her over more closely. "Er du sikker?" There's definitely something too familiar with this girl, he just has to make sure of his theory.. somehow. ( mwahaha~ )

fidgets and looks away. She was a little intimidated by him. He was a wizard, after all. "Ah... My family says that I used to be grown up..." (switching to English now because I'm lazy orz)

's expression eases slightly from his own little victory, almost nearing a smile. "Your family, hm? That sounds sort of silly, though." (Completely fine)

nods. "Astrid and Dorthe... Dorthe said you were my twin." She wiggles a little, excited to finally be talking with him.

remembers Denmark telling him about Astrid, but it took him a little while to place the second name. However he recalls Nederland bringing him a woman sporting that name, and nods. Then shrugs. "I seem a bit _

old for that, in my opinion."

frowns a little. "O-oh..." She was hoping he was really her twin. "W-well you are a wizard, right?"

taps the axe idly against his knee. "Are you a witch?"

shakes her head. "N-no... I like magic, though! And my family said maybe magic would help me be normal again..."

allowed himself a small smile, finding the situation rather hilarious. He shrugs, "Maybe." He stands up and looks her over, then offers her his hand after a minute of consideration. "Care to tag along, then?"

takes his hand and blushes, looking away from him. She was still in awe about meeting a real wizard even if he wasn't her twin.

hadn't really confirmed nor denied the fact, though if she doesn't pursue it further he won't bother. He hadn't really figured it out when she was her normal self, anyway. He kept a light hold around her _

small hand as they walked, looking ahead. "Have you seen magic before?"

nods before glancing up at him. "Yeah, and I have magical friends, too." She didn't mind if he wasn't her twin, she guessed it really didn't matter. "Where are we going?"

's jaw tightens slightly. He's yet to get used to even the idea of there being someone nearly just like him.. with the same special friends. He nods curtly, "Fairies, I s'pose?" He taps the axe on his thigh. _

"The woods."

giggles a little. "Yeah. I like faeries and elves and trolls... I even met a mermaid once!" She pauses before frowning a little. "I think one of the faeries cast a bad spell and that's why everything changed."

surprised to hear her laugh, and casts a brief glance at her as they get closer to the spruce forest. "They're all great.. Hm, that must've been a powerful fairy... Did you do somethin' to agitate it?" His tone

turns slightly reprimanding at the end.

frowns and shakes her head. "I don't know, I just saw one laughing at me and being mean when I woke up."

tugs lightly at her hand as he takes a turn, leading her onto the path going through the forest. "Right.." He can't help being silently amused

didn't think it was amusing! She wanted to be a grown up and was mad that she was seemingly missing out on that. She keeps walking with him, looking around at the trees and enjoying the scenery.

thought it was awfully amusing, whatever she had to say on it. He couldn't recall working a fairy into a mad enough state to decrease his age any time. He slowed down his steps, looking silently at the trees.

stops and watches him before copying him and looking at the trees.
