would happily take both with open arms. It was one of his most favourite combinations anyways.

smiles. "Then dig in. The beer's german, but I promise the cake is homemade." He didn't know the other's preference, so he just baked a chocolate one.

chuckled and brought everything to his kitchen table. "I like any kind of cake generally. And German beer is nice and cheap." He left the door open so the other could come in. "Wanna slice of cake?"

walks in, seting everything up on the table. "Sure, I'd love it-- but keep the first slice." He laughs.

nods as he pulled out two plates and two forks. He got out a larger knife than needed and started to cut up the cake, putting a generous amount on his plate. "How much cake do ye want?"

shakes his head. "Not much, Denmark, a small slice will do." He hums, waiting for it.

nods and cut him out a small slice, putting it on the plate and putting it on the table in front of the other. "Wanna beer too? Or is it all for me?"

shakes his head. "All for you, birthday boy." He waves it off, really. "Try not to drink it all at once... But with you, it's hard to say."

chuckled and sat down, opening a beer and taking a sip before nibbling at the cake. "I like when ye visit."

nods. "I'm glad you find me a good company... Or is it just the food I bring?" he jokes, eating someof the cake in small bits.

smirks. "Food and beer is always a bonus. But any visit is nice."

chuckles. "Agreed, although I prefer a good wine." He smiles, nipping on the cake.

hummed as he took another sip of beer. "I can tell. Ye're good for that stuff. I might visit just to have a change of drink."

grins at prospect of a visitor. "You should, and I don't say it just for the Port wine! Alas, you're a better visitor than the Dutch..."

chuckles at that. "Yeah? How'd the most recent visit by him go?"

bites his lower lip. "I... We ended up fighting. Physically." He shrugs, pouting. "But at least he spent a good money on my land."

shrugged as he finished off his cake. "That's what counts, right? At least there's not worse tension between ye two."

... wonders if the Dane is drunk already. "I don't think it can get much worse..."

hums. He was still far from drunk. "He could be terrorizin' yer people. Or spreadin' rumours 'bout ye."

nods. "A valid point. But he did badmouth my brother."

raises his brow. "Still? I guess he can hold a grudge for a long time."

laughs. "A bitter old man with his tulips... At least he likes wine."

smirks. "That guy likes anythin' to drink. Not as much as me, but still. I guess bein' near France does that to ye."

pouts. "don't talk of France as if he's the only one who has bragging rights to wine, if anything..."

shakes his head. "I know ye got yer pride too. France is just closer to him. I don't like France's wine much, really."

smiles a bit at that, some arrogance in the way he straightens his back. "Well, if you don't like his and is willing to try mine... I might as well feel woo'd."

laughs a little as he finished his beer. "I'll visit just to get drunk off yer wine. How's that?"

..sighs. "Fair enough, at least I won't have to hold your hair if you vomit." Come to think of it, he doesn't even remember how the Dane is when drunk...

smirks. "Don't worry, I won't be an embarrassment. I represent Denmark, and I do that well in other countries~ Just not Sweden."

laughs. "Understood. How is he, anyway? You nordics barely show up to meetings..."

shrugs. "We're not missed if we don't show, and don't like to travel that far... but we're fine. I've not heard too much from the Swede but I can tell. Norge's fine too."

that good to hear. "Well, make sure you all don't lose track of time buried in the snow... how is the cake, by the way?"

nods at that before licking his lips. "The cake is great. I doubt I'll have any for tomorrow at this rate."

Tries to hidr a smile, failing at it. "Thanks... Run an extra mile tomorrow, then!"

groans. "I don't wanna. I'll just watch what I eat."

- "Ah, it's your day... Do enjoy it, that's all." He smiles softly, ruffling the other's hair now that Søren is sitting down and he can reach it.

laughs, not thinking the others ruffle would do much to his hair. "I always enjoy my day. I just love havin' fun and drinkin'..."

sets his plate on the counter as he is done eating, leaning agsinst it. "Understood... I suppose you are going to get quite smashed today, then?"

nodded as he opened another beer to drink. "Probably. I love goin' out with my people and just havin' fun."

watches him a bit. "They're great... I should the same on my birthday too, I suppose."

chuckles. "It's the only real way to celebrate. It's the best... everyone is happy and cheerful.

*"

grins. "True, that is. Well, we should set a time to drink together, certainly... I'm a lightweight, so make sure to drink for me in advance."

smirks and shrugs. "Or I can drink when ye start, so I make sure ye get home in one piece."

shrugs. "Works just as well either... As long as you don't have me do anything embarrassing."

hums and shakes his head. "Most I'd do is wanna put a Viking hat on ye. Besides that, ye're not family, so ye're safe."

never felt so glad before. "Oh, a viking hat? That I can do..." he sighs, then smiles a bit, imagining himself with a hat with those wide horns. Oh dear.

just laughs at the imagine of it. "It'll be fun. Ye can get up and dance on a table too."

...stares pointedly at him.

smiled innocently. He thought it'd be a blast.

rolls his eyes. He shall wait then.

hummed a little before getting up and going to find something for the other.

watches him with a little curiousity as to what he was going to do... Was he going to fetch the said damn hat?

doubted he´d be able to find it in his mess of an attic. But he did return with a 6 pack of Carlsberg. 'Here. Early birthday present. In case I forget.'

blinks. "That soon? You sweetheart..." He takes it, placing nearby. "I haven't drank yours in a while, but thank you."

smirks. 'I didn´t want to not give ye somethin´in return. If ye like it enough, just gimme a call. I´ll come and bring ye some more, and take some wine while I´m at it.' He was glad to share his beer with

people, especially when it had a chance to bring more tourists.

raises one eyebrow. "Oh? I'm surprised you like it, but don't wait for me to call then.. Just come get the vine." He kept a small storehouse in the basement of his house, so he had plenty of wine.

would make sure to visit then. 'I´ll try to give ye a warnin´that I´m comin´, but no promises. I like to do things spontaneously, as ye´ve probably figured out by now.'

laughs. "The most that will happen is you catching me asleep, but sure!"

chuckles. 'I´ll have fun wakin´ye up, then. I´m very creative when it comes to that.' He leaned back in his chair after, humming happily to himself.

suppos he learned that waking up Sweden. "Makes sense, but don't overdo it..." Well, what a madman.

smiles and nods. "Ja, don't worry. I wouldn't wanna ruin yer birthday after all."

smiles. "Alright, I'll be waiting for you, then."

nodded at that. "Regardless, I'll enjoy yer gifts. This cake will probably be gone before dinner. Or I might have it for dinner."
