[She's sitting on a bench somewhere in a little park next to the waterfront, and is knitting. It's not really apparent what she is knitting so far, but it is clear that she's doing it with a lot of expertise and skill ( Read more... )

[Approaching from behind and leaning over the bench.]

What are you making, Swe?

northernlioness February 26 2011, 20:40:44 UTC

[OH GOD NEARLY JUMPING OUT OF HER SKIN Finland is one of the last people that she would have expected here. Not that she wants her gone, no, never! But she certainly did not think- how did she-

Cue turning around to stare up at the smaller woman with one of the scariest looks that she has ever displayed outside of battlefields and conference rooms. Confusion, hope despite hope, nervosity, hurt, and too many other feelings just do not mix well or make it easier to show any other reaction.]

You-

...

Stock'ngs.

finluhnd February 26 2011, 20:46:46 UTC

[NOW SHE'S NEARLY JUMPING OUT OF HER SKIN TOO. And flinching quite visibly instead of literally jumping. Which is probably a good thing, but never mind that.

Oh, and please don't mind the fact that her voice is rushed. It doesn't mean anything, really! She's not scared or anything!]

S-Stockings! Right! I see!

northernlioness February 26 2011, 20:59:20 UTC

[Which in turn makes sweden jump to her feet and- and- and she really wants to rush over and hug her wife Finland, make sure that she is well and see if she just hurt herself or what happened and-, but...

Instead, she takes a hesitant step forward and reaches out with one hand to steady the other Nordic, trying very hard to make a reassuring face. Sometimes the good will does not help much.]

finluhnd February 26 2011, 21:18:29 UTC

[At least it's a good thing that Finland's gotten used to reading Sweden's eyes over the years.... for the most part. When she's brave enough to make eye contact for more than a few seconds, of course.]

I'm fine! Really, I am!

[Calm down, calm down.... Sweden doesn't mean any harm, no matter what it may look like!]

northernlioness February 26 2011, 21:30:51 UTC

[She only looks at Finland, up and down, and doesn't move. Does not remove her hand from Finland's arm, either.

Her voice is rough when she finally speaks, raw.]

're you alone?

finluhnd February 26 2011, 21:34:04 UTC

For the time being, yes.

[She's quite confused as to why Sweden's acting like this. Did something happen?]

northernlioness February 26 2011, 22:03:26 UTC

[She lets go of Finland and pushes the the piece of knitwork which displays the beginning of a complicated pattern to the very side of the bench, gesturing for the other nation to take a seat next to her.]

...How are you?

finluhnd February 26 2011, 22:07:25 UTC

[Whether it be unfortunately or not she doesn't notice what the pattern is yet and takes a seat on the bench.]

I'm doing well! It's a beautiful day today, isn't it?

[Yet another pause.]

Are you doing alright? Something seems off.

northernlioness February 26 2011, 22:20:41 UTC

[Nods] I'm doing fine.

[Pause, some studying of Finland's face, and then:] Sh' treating you well?

finluhnd February 26 2011, 22:23:25 UTC

[A clear look of confusion.] Estonia?

northernlioness February 27 2011, 08:00:01 UTC

[Well, that too - Sweden the person is rather glad that one person who she knos as trustworthy and responsible is with her former wife, even though Sweden the nation is not allowed to care.

But this is not about Estonia.] Russia.

finluhnd February 27 2011, 08:03:06 UTC

There hasn't been any trouble lately! Our trade has been doing well too.

[Unfortunate as it is that she doesn't quite understand Sweden's question, her answer still stands as true.]

northernlioness February 27 2011, 11:21:15 UTC

[She manages not to show any reaction, only nod and look away, towards the water. While she would like to say that she's glad that Finland seems to be doing well, she cannot make herself, and saying that she misses the other woman? That is neither appropriate nor something that she could ever word right.]

You're look'ng good.

finluhnd February 27 2011, 22:28:46 UTC

Eh? So are you....!

[But despite her cheerful reaction she can't help but be a little worried.

Peering toward the water now.]

What are you looking at?

1/2 northernlioness February 28 2011, 06:25:22 UTC

[Distraction go! ...Just that there is really nothing right now that she could be looking at reasonably, right now there is nobody, not even any boats or ships out there, and the men with the fishing rods have decided to disappear behind some trees so it cannot even be them...

...

Should she simply say that she has no idea how to handle this? That will make it more awkward even. Say that she missed Finland? No, she discussed this with herself before.]
