I made it up fine! ( denmark objects, with a break to suck in a breath, and then he stands up straight and tall, shoulders back, and there's a certain posed element to it. it's their first and overdue reunion! he's thinking of courts and diplomacy, but this really isn't much like that, in retrospect, so he rubs at the back of his neck and grins like a loon. )
I was late because I had to be really secretive. It's like we're having a covert affair! ( he says excitedly, going over and dropping down onto the grass besides nor. )
[ Norway is looking more at the view behind Denmark than his pose. It would be a lot better if they could get higher up. He'll have to insist their next meeting is at his own house.
But Denmark's talking, so he starts to listen in. ]
They don't want you makin' a mess of things. Sweden ain't happy about it either. So I sign your name real big on the envelopes. [ There is an obvious satisfaction in the way he says it. Sweden's against him deciding on his own foreign relations, so why not do it anyway?
He turns his head and gets a good look at Denmark finally. There's something comforting in it. ] How're the kids?
Lately, Faeroes has been turnin' into a real lady, ( denmark says proudly, starting with his favourite. ) Every since she got those parliament seats, she's growin' up into a proper lady. I'm thinkin' Ice should take her example, but he's being really rebellious lately. "I want independence, I don't gotta listen to you," but I think he's just having a wild stage, like we had when we were kids. ( of course, denmark's wild stage led him to conquering france and england, but he can't say he wouldn't be a little proud of iceland somehow pulled that one out. ) Green and Indies are okay too.
( he shifts a bit closer to nor, probably staining his trousers from the grass as he does. ) How mad's Sweden? ( he asks cheerfully. )
Sounds like he's following my example. [ Focusing on Iceland, of course. ] You hafta listen to him or he'll run off. [ Not necessarily a bad thing, but Ice needs to learn how to take care of himself first.
He doesn't move away from Denmark, in any case. It's not important right now. ] He's been gettin' that vein right in the middle of his forehead. Trying to see if it can burst.
Hmm! ( is all denmark says about iceland, probably going for a thoughtful sound but still sounding too enthusiastic. ice had better not run off; that'd be no good, he's still just a little kid who needs his brother to take care of him. this home rule stuff should be plenty —
— anyway, sweden is a more interesting subject. denmark flops back onto the grass, stretching out his legs until they ache, then relaxing them. ) Shouldn't be hard, just mention Russian expansion and German unification. Even he's gotta have a headache about that.
