Austria checked his watch; by the knock on the door, he could see that Ludwig was punctual as usual. He'd managed to procure a spare coat from the Manor, surprised at his good luck, and of course, gloves. He would always protect his hands; they were his most precious asset. He made a mental reminder to leave a note for Gavin once a home had been found, and after thanking his gracious host, he stepped out of the door and into the cold.

It was a world of white; ice and snow piled up higher than he'd seen it in some years, but there, as expected, was Germany. He pulled on his gloves as he joined him, and offered him a calm, elegant smile.

"Good of you to come," he murmured. "I will thank you in advance; I know the weather is a bit much, even for the likes of us."

"It's alright. I dealt viss zis cold just recently." he turned and headed back the way he came towards the street. He referred of course to the last winter before the war ended. He'd rather not talk about it however. He'd prefer to crunch through the snow and look at houses to get Austria moved into.

"How have you settled so far?"

Austria had no way of knowing that the cold that Germany was referring to had been the chilly winter of 1944; he assumed he meant the snow here in Ruby City, and nodded. He drew his coat around himself tightly as they began to trudge down the empty streets; at least the sun was out.

"I have not really settled, but I have made a friend at least. Feliciano tells me you are building a house, or remodelling. I was not surprised; you have always been industrious." A chill breeze ruffled his dark hair a bit, casting white flakes from the ground to brush over his polished dress shoes.

"I vas somesing to do here. Ze city is razzer boring. And most of ze buildings are not up to my standards. Ze place vas abandoned so ze buildings here are in disrepair. Fixing zem fills my time. And it's not too different from vhat I'll be faced viss at home"

[[OOC: Germany-mun, I'm giving you a heads up. Austria is going to eventually settle on the theatre to make his home inside of. Converting old dressing rooms into an apartment. I'm letting you know so that you don't get all confused by the post on the network I'm about to make; it's supposed to take place after this log does. =D ]]
