sat by the counter, drinking a little and going over some projects. She was chatting away with the bar keeper since she was bored.

((XD; This was actually for Soren to reply to but I can make another for that. ))

((DERP. I'm an idiot OTL I'll delete my response))

notices someone at the bar and starts walking up before realizing that it wasn't him. She takes a seat at the counter, a little embarrassed that she had confused her for someone else.

((Actually we can just get the Dane to switch in BT))

((It's okay = w = Of course the one time I make a specific one, lol))

((Pfft s'ok xD We'll get the Dane in hier no worries.))

walked in totally late because he overslept from a nap and looked around.

glances at Dorthe. "Hmm, I don't know."

((Derp bad idea to delete my plurk XD))

raised a brow before nodding. She saw the other male who seemed to be looking for someone. Before glancing over to the other woman, " I think the person you're suppose to be meeting is here."

blinks and smiled, walking over. "Sorry for bein' late. I overslept. But hej."

looks over at Soren. "...Hello."

waves a bit, smiling. "Have ye already started?"

shakes her head. "No, I just arrived."

smiles and nodded, quickly ordering himself a beer. "Awesome. I wouldn't wanna have to catch up."

orders herself a beer shortly after. "Catch up on what?"

hums as he shifted between the two. "Catch up on drinkin', of course~" He smirked while taking a sip, missing the taste~

rolls her eyes. "Somehow I don't think that will be an issue."

wiggled a little. "So, do ye two know each other?" He asked off-handedly while getting use to the atmosphere.

shakes her head slowly.

nods a little, sipping more beer. "We met once durin' some study time. I helped improve her project~"

starts to drink her own. "Hmm, I may have seen her on campus then."

wiggled a bit on the stool. "It's a pretty small campus, I'd not be surprised."

"So what did you want to talk about this time? Grading?"

shrugs. "Sure. Why not. What should I expect with it? And when should I get it all done by?"

drinks some more beer. "I'll just be giving you some straightforward papers and then an answer key. Just have it finished by the next class and make sure you keep an eye on the answer key."

nods a bit. "Seems easy enough. This'll be fun~ I can't wait to see what students put."

nods. "It won't be too difficult and if you want tougher papers later, I can give you some of those."

smiles. "I could probably handle those. But let's keep on the simple stuff for now..."

glances at him and nods. "Don't want to scare you off yet."

chuckles. "I'm not that easy to scare off, if ye've not noticed."

...would have laughed at that but instead just takes another sip of beer.

hummed as he downed the rest and ordered another beer. "So how've ye been tonight?"

shrugs. "Usual, I guess."

hums more. "And how's usual?"

finishes her own beer. "Studying. Working. Just... usual."

nods as he held his new beer. "So what do ye normally do with yer free time then?"

blinks. "I like to read, I guess..." She mostly just read on whatever topics she was studying.

smiles. "That's cool. I was never really into readin' fantasy or fiction books... for some reason though, the medical textbooks I fly through. They're so interestin'."

nods as she orders another beer. "That's mostly what I read. Medical textbooks. Certainly not fantasy..." She was embarrassed to admit that she liked fantasy...

hums. "I used to read some fantasyish stuff when I was younger. Mostly fairytales though... but that was stopped quickly."

raises an eyebrow. "Stopped?"

nods. "My parents didn't want me wastin' time reain' such crazy things..."

sighs a little and takes a long drink. "I can't say mine felt any differently about it..."

hums. "So ye read fairytales too?"

hesitates. "A few..."

smiles. "Which ones? Any I might know?"

shows the tiniest hint of embarrassment. "Ah, Hans Christian Andersen, I liked a lot..."

smiled widely. "Me too! I had a few books of some of his most popular stories! I liked all that I read, and wanted to get his collection at some point..."

smiles behind her hand as she pretends to cough a little to cover it up.

started listing off all he had heard about, even if he hadn't read them.

nods and orders another beer as she listens, chiming in with another story.

wiggled more on his seat. "Aaah~ I miss those stories. I only remember a few details here and there... we should go over them some time..."

starts drinking her new beer and nods slowly, taking mental note that he wouldn't watch what she ordered if she got him talking about something like that.

so excited he forgot about his beer, but once he remembered he took a few long sips. "Seiously I might just go to the book store in town and look for the book with all his stories in it..."

"They would have to have it, right?"

nods. "They better. It's a classic! If they don't have it I'll make 'em order it for me." He was sure about that.

finishes up her beer quickly. It had been far too long since she had beer last. "I know they accept special orders. If enough people order it, they might even stock it."

smiles. "I'll check first thing tomorrow. Well, after my class. Want me to get ye a copy too?"

nods slowly. "I will pay you back."

downed the rest of his beer. "Awesome. This'll be fun to search for~"

orders another beer. "Yes, it will be nice to read them again."

did the same, already losing track of how many he had, even though he knew it couldn't be much. "Ja. Just lay in bed and remember the good old days..."

nods. "Maybe we could read them together." She was starting to lose track of how many she had as well.

nodded, smiling widely. "Ja! We could get like, beer and popcorn, and just curl up somewhere and read away! We could take turns sayin' a story till we go through them all~"

smiles faintly. "That sounds nice..."

never knew he'd get this great a connection with a teacher... it made him happy. And drink more because of it.

would have never thought she would get along well with a student...

thought their kind was rare. But he couldn't fully deny it, since they were Scandinavian after all.

finishes another beer and a small laugh escapes. Okay, she might have had a few too many beers...

smiled a little when he heard her. "Ye got a nice laugh."

blinks and realizes what she had done and coughs faintly to hide her embarrassment.

chuckles at that. "Ye don't need to hide it. I just never thought I'd hear it..." He finished off his beer before he raised a brow at her. "... How many have ye had?"

rolls her eyes. "It doesn't matter how many I've had."

huffs. "I said ye couldn't have more than two. Or one. Ye're supposed to be the responsible one."

hums under her breath. "Yes, and as the responsible one, I am in charge of setting my own limits."

smirks a bit as he swirled his new beer around. "If ye say soooo~"

nods. "It's not like I can't handle beer. I never get drunk."

hums. "How much ye wanna bet on that?"

glances at him before grinning. "I'm not going to fall for that trick."

rolled his eyes. "Ye up for some shots, then?"

...sighs. "I don't know about that..."

chuckled. "Chicken." He ordered a few for himself.

raises an eyebrow. "I am just being 'the responsible one' is all."

nods. "Uh huh~" He took a shot, licking his lips after.

...orders a shot.

smirked as he looked over to her, having another in hand.

glances at him before taking the shot.

took it with her at the same time, starting to feel the effects quickly now. He shook his head a bit, before laughing. "This is a good night."

takes a while to reply, head starting to spin. "Yeah..." She laughs, this time not getting embarrassed by it.

hummed as he was having fun. He liked drinking with his sister, but he wanted her to focus on work right now.

hadn't gone drinking in a long time and was enjoying the change of pace. She orders another shot.

glad she was getting more friendly and open. He took his last shot, holding the glass back a bit before putting it on the counter. "Good stuff here..."

nods and laughs quietly. "It's really nice here."

nodded. "Ja. I come to this place a lot."

looks around the room. "I've never been here before."

chuckled. "I come here once a week when I have time... not too much of a regular though, mostly since I can't afford it. Money and time wise."

hums quietly and drinks another beer. "I don't have time to get out much."

smiled. "Ja, me too... I try to have a social life though..."

shrugs. "I don't mind not having one."

shrugs. "I need it. It's fun talkin' to people, and keeps my mind active."

finishes off her beer and sways a little in her seat. "You seem very social."

nods. "Ja, but it's rare I actually talk to people who wanna listen to me..."

smiles at him faintly. "I'm sure that's not true."

chuckles. "At first it seemed even ye'd not wanna listen to me."

laughs. "I act that way towards everyone."

smiles a bit. "M'glad I got to know ye a bit then. I like how ye listen."

hums. "You aren't so bad."

smiled truly at her. "M'glad ye think that..."

can't help but smile faintly in return. "Thank you."

finished off his beer before swaying a bit. "... We should probably think 'bout headin' back to the dorms soon..."

whines under her breath. "Probably..."

chuckled a bit, liking how she whined. "We'll do this again. I promise. Next week or somethin'."

moves to stand and sways dangerously. Maybe she had too much after all...

slowly got off the stool and notice her sway, lightly putting an arm on her shoulder to help balance her. "Good thing the dorms aren't far away, eh?"

leans against him to help support herself. "I can make it, don't worry."

nods as he started walking with her out. "I trust ye on that." He kept supporting her for safety.

nods and sways some more. "I'm in the Graduate dorm." She laughs. "Pretty much have the whole building to myself."

smiles. "That's awesome. No loud neighbours. That's real lucky."

"It's like a ghost town." She glances up at him. "You can always come over and study there."

hums and nods. "I might take ye up on that offer. When the parties go on at my place, I try and escape to my sister's place. But... I don't wanna keep imposin' on her, especially when I just wanna study."

leans against him a little more, smiling. "I'll look forward to it."

got her closer to the dorms, glad nothing went wrong. "Ye got yer keys and stuff, ja?"

starts digging through her purse. "I should have them..." She starts to fall, losing balance from trying to walk and look at the bag.

made a sound and quickly pulled her upright, keeping both hands on her, respectively.

blinks in surprise and looks at him. "..." She starts to giggle under her breath.

started to laugh a bit with her. "Didn't I mention I'm great support for many things?"

hums and moves to hug him. "Thank you for the support."

blinked a bit before smiling, hugging her back. "Ye're more than welcome." He didn't see this as awkward at all.

would never have done this sober...

didn't think she would, but he was glad to see this side of her. "I'll make sure ye get in safe and sound before leavin'. Is that okay?" He just wanted to make sure she didn't accidentally slip or hurt herself.

nods against him. "I'll be fine but you can come with me."

smiled a little. "Just to make sure... m'a little protective that way..."

pulls a little away but holds his hand. "'s not much further."

gripped her hand, more so to keep a hold on her for balance. "Awesome... get a nice woman home safely. What a gentleman I am."

giggles and walks to her building. "Such a gentleman."

smiled widely, having fun still. He didn't even register that she was really his teacher anymore, and considered her more of a friend.

pulls out her key and holds the door to the building open for him.

walked in, keeping the door open for her in return. He couldn't help but look around and notice how quiet it was.

starts walking upstairs, swaying dangerously.

put a hand on the small of her back to help keep her over all balance some what steady. And if she started to fall back, he could easily help push her forward. He just gripped the railing tightly so he didn't

fall as well.

glances at him and giggles under her breath. She manages to get upstairs without too much trouble.

smiled once they were at the top, glad nothing bad happened. "We made it~ That's a success~"

laughs. "All thanks to you, Mr. Gentleman."

gave a small salute. "I do what I can when I can~"

grins and walks to her door. "Thank you."

nodded as he leaned against the wall when they got to her door. "Ye'll be okay on gettin' to bed, ja? Won't need me to tuck ye in or anythin'?"

glances at him and smiles. "I wouldn't mind if you did."

chuckles a bit. "I can. If ye want. M'good with tuckin' people in and makin' sure they're all set for bed."

steps into her apartment and holds the door for him. The main room is filled to bursting with books and medical diagrams.

smiled as he walked in, looking around as he closed the door behind him. "This place looks cosy." He couldn't help but enjoy the diagrams.

nods. "I'm usually only in here to study or sleep so I figured this is just fine." She hums and looks around as well. "Do you want any coffee? I don't know if I have any food..."

hums. "Coffee. I'd never give that up... might help me sober up too." He could tell he was more tipsy than he should have allowed.

sets some coffee up and walks to her other room. "I'll just be over here if you need anything else."

nods and found a chair to sit in, watching the coffee brew.

starts to get ready for bed. She manages to get her pajama pants on and pull a shirt half way on before falling asleep on the floor on a pile of clothing.

waited for a while, not hearing much. He got up and knocked on the door to her room, quietly walking in.

snores faintly from her spot on the ground.

blinked and looked around before looking down, awkwardly watching her for a while. He stepped a bit closer and crouched down, nudging her shoulder a little without trying to look too much at her.

grumbles and rolls over.

made a sound andjust nudged her more. "Gjertrud...?"

blinks slowly awake and looks up at him. She smiles and sits up. "Hei~"

smiles a bit. "Coffee is ready, sleepy head."

hugs his leg. "But I'm comfy right here~"

made a sound before laughing. "Come on, ye're the responsible one... ye gotta at least get into bed."

nuzzles his leg a little. "Men jeg ønsker å bo her..."

smiled more at hearing the Norwegian. "Men du måste gå till sängs."

shakes her head and stands up, clinging to him. "Bare hvis du bo hos meg."

blinked at that before frowning a bit. "Du gillar inte att vara ensam?"

frowns. "Jeg liker det ikke..."

nodded a little as he checked his phone, making sure his sister didn't try to contact him. "Okej. Men bara för ikväll." He smiled and ruffled her hair lightly. "Vi kan inte göra detta till en vana."

((Did I mention how much my inner Dane is dyin' at all this Swedish? It actually hurts. B( ))

(( XD ))

grins and walks to the other room to get the coffee.

chuckled as he followed her, glad to see her happy. He didn't see anything wrong with it, and just thought he was being a good person.

pours him a cup of coffee. She would probably be very embarrassed about all this in the morning.

honeslty didn't see anything wrong with it. He took the coffee and found some sugar and milk, mixing it together before taking a sip of his coffee. "Mmm..."

could see plenty of reasons why it could be wrong. Well at least she would if she was sober. She watches him for a while before heading back to her bedroom.

decided to follow her, since she didn't want to be alone. "So, where m'I sleepin'?"

turns back to look at him as if the answer was obvious. "The bed, right? That is where people sleep."

nods a little. "There enough room for the both of us?" He normally took up the whole bed in his dorm, but it was a lot smaller compared to the gradute area.

nods and crawls into bed, pushing a few books of the other side.

sipped some more coffee as he went to the other side and sat on the edge.

lays down and watches him.

sipped more of his coffee as he bounced a bit. "This bed is comfy."

laughs under her breath. "It is nice..."

downed the rest of his coffee and put the mug off to the side on the night table. He got comfortable in the bed, wiggling under the blankets to get nice and warm.

smiles and wiggles a little closer to him.

chuckles a bit. "Ye sure like to be close to people once ye get to know 'em."

laughs sheepishly. "But it's cold..."

smiles as he rubbed her back lightly. "Well then, I'll keep ye warm..."

smiles at him before closing her eyes. "Takk..."

smiled more and rubbed her back a bit slower, getting even more slower as he started falling asleep.

falls asleep, glad for the comfort and warmth next to her.

too. He loved feeling wanted or needed, and in reality he actually needed this. Someone to help always helped him feel better about himself.

really liked having people around even though she tended to act stand offish or stoic. She was embarrassed about it and tried to hide it but usually ended up showing it when she was drunk.

thought everyone needed someone to have to help comfort. He was just happy that she didn't seem to turn away from him when he offered. Even if tomorrow was awkward, he'd still be happy for it.
