[Frowning a bit distractedly as he looks down at his cellphone and climbs the hill, carrying a picnic basket. Antonio's supposed to be meeting his friends here for a night picnic, but he can't seem to find them]

Now where did those two wander off to...

[Instead, Antonio finds Alfred and it makes him blink when he spies the cooler]

[starryeyedhero]

[Alfred leans on the ground to grab a can from the cooler. He ignores the dirt on his shirt, he'll be here for a while. A little soil doesn't matter.]

[He notices someone climbing the hill, and recognizes the young as the Mexican.]

Antonio, right? Are ya old enough? [Shows him the can of beer, dripping with water from the melted ice in the cooler.]

[diosorogloria]

[Is a bit confused at the question as he's rarely asked it and he's never taken Alfred F. Jones as a drinker before. It's kind of surreal]

[A playful smile plays along his lips as he quirks an eyebrow and asks] Are you old enough, Alfred?

[starryeyedhero]

[He lowers the beer, setting it on the rim of the cooler, as he studies the man with the picnic basket.] What a strange question.

[Picks the tab, opens his can, and takes a few gulps of Dale’s Pale Ale. Not Schlitz today! (But he's still just a teacher.)] 'Course I am.

[He gestures to the picnic basket.] Meeting someone?

;A; Who can hate Alfred? Also, Happy 4th of July! :D

[Ludwig maaaay have a slight tendency to gravitate towards beer. Maybe kinda sorta.

In any case, the German is enjoying the peace and quiet himself --at least, with his boyfriend off dancing around a bon fire and his brother... somewhere. Ludwig almost didn't want to know]

Alfred? Do you mind if I join you?

They don't hate Alfred? ;w; Woo! You too! :D

[starryeyedhero]

Hi, Ludwig! Tired of the party? [He offers him a can.] Old enough?

[Alfred doesn't mind having company. It's better to have someone to drink and get drunk with. They could laugh at each other later too.]

;A; They secretly like Alfred and have trouble showing it?

[dogsnwurst]

[Hesitates but takes the beer] J-Ja. In... my country.

[He looks from the can to Alfred and back to the can, completely surprised] You don't mind?

They're all tsundere? o.o

[starryeyedhero]

[He really shouldn't allow him if he's not of legal age. They'll get in trouble-] Sure, why not. [Laughs softly and shrugs.]

Germans love to drink, right? [Grins] We'll make this our secret.

[Arthuria got out of the party by the beach before Alfred saw her. She knew she'd just end up giving him some bruises if she had stayed. That, and...that all she had for a birthday gift was a sea shell.]

[Aimlessly wandering uphill, muttering self-reproaches and arguing with herself, she stops suddenly as she finds Alfred only a few feet away.] Damn...

[She slowly takes a step back, and *SNAP* goes a twig.]

[starryeyedhero]

[Alfred saw her making her way up the hill with this strange expression on her face, which he wants to call conflicted, and he turned away when she got closer, so he could pretend to be cool by surprising her. He watched (the blob) her through the distorted reflection on the items near him, until the moment the silence was broken by the breaking of the small branch.]

[Is this the moment he yells 'Halt! Who goes there?!' to amuse himself, and annoy her? Or should he take a normal approach, and just surprise her a little.]

Did something happen at the party, Arthuria? [Her name is easy for him to remember...]

[occultfan]

[She's kind of shocked, but she gets this strange feeling that he isn't very surprised to see her. Unless he's just calm like that.]

Wha- Why would you ask that? Nothing happened! [It's true, which could actually be the problem.] In the first place, shouldn't you be down there yourself?

[starryeyedhero]

Should I be? [Sips his beer, to find better words to answer her.] I think they can handle this party on their own.

[Alfred turns his gaze to look at the student.] But if you didn't enjoy it, you can stay here and watch the stars with me. [Maybe at least one of the students won't hate him.]

[Well, damn. This means he should stop drinking.]
