I’m exactly the opposite. I’ve been dragged back to work once or twice after a long weekend. -she grins at him and shoves her hands into her coat pockets-

I kinda felt like going for a walk. It’s still nice out, since it’s not winter just yet. Had half a mind to go grab coffee or hang out somewhere.

[Returning her smile, he straightens his scarf]

I don’t know if I want to think about work anymore. How about that coffee, I’m assuming you know somewhere around here? I’ll treat you for the trouble.

kankokuu:

Isn’t that where Arnold…Swar… Shuwar…. The guy from the Terminator movies! Isn’t he Austrian? I’m pretty sure he is!

Schwarzenegger? He’s the pride and joy.

[He’s a bit testy about Arnold, who’d added insult to injury by becoming an elected official in a dream country that wasn’t his]

I have’t seen the movies. But I suppose he did make a good life for himself.

kankokuu:

Im Yongsoo! Nice to meet you Roderich-ssi. So you’re from Austria, right? I think I’ve heard someone talk about you before.

[Of course, now he leaves his guest to make sandwiches and tea.]

Yes.

[He follows Yongsoo without prompting, glad to have the other carrying the conversation]

fortroughs:

…!!!

Turns! I’d — I’d like to take it in turns, please.

Alright then.

[He scrapes three more cookies clean of cream, until the spoon’s filled, and hands it to Peter]

spaceracing:

A mandated vacation? That makes it sound like someone had to actually pull you away, kicking an’ screaming, from filing paperwork in triplicate.

I’ve been doing pretty great right now. Thanks for askin’!

I suppose that’s what it was, in the end. Well, what it really is is unnecessary, but what are you doing out?

fortroughs: …!! Yes sir! [and he scurries off to grab one of his spoons and then brings it...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:33:27 -0500

fortroughs:

…!!

Yes sir!

[and he scurries off to grab one of his spoons and then brings it back]

Here —!!

[Taking the spoon Roderich turns his attention to his pile of cream side cookies, taking one and scraping the cream off before turning to put the spoon down]

A plate might good as well, or would you like to take it in turns?

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:25:32 -0500

spaceracing:

roadrich started following you

Hiya there, Mister Austria! What brings you to my neck of the woods?

Travel, a mandated vacation, and interest. How are you, America?

kankokuu: — !! I think that you’ll really come to like kimchi! I’ll make it in a moment. For now,...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:21:12 -0500

kankokuu:

— !! I think that you’ll really come to like kimchi! I’ll make it in a moment. For now, tell me about yourself…uh….

[He probably won’t put kimchi in it, but that could be funny wouldn’t it?]

Roderich, while we’re at it can I get your name?

fortroughs: […he’s going to start doing that too] [even if he doesn’t have any milk or anything...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:19:52 -0500

fortroughs:

[…he’s going to start doing that too]

[even if he doesn’t have any milk or anything he’s going to make a whole pile of cream]

Ah — uhm, Mister Roderich —

Wouldn’t it be cool if, if you could have all the oreo filling? Just the filling?

[Roderich thinks on it, accidentally grabbing a cookie side from the cream pile, and almost throwing it down in horror]

What if we tried right now? Can you get me a spoon?

fortroughs: —oh!! Oh! That — that’s brilliant, sir, that’s — Why didn’t I ever think of...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:13:46 -0500

fortroughs:

—oh!! Oh!

That — that’s brilliant, sir, that’s —

Why didn’t I ever think of that?

What matters is that now you know.

[He wipes his lip in case foam landed there]

fortroughs: [woah woah woah hold up there a minute mister] [Peter squints before taking an oreo,...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:00:04 -0500

fortroughs:

[woah woah woah hold up there a minute mister]

[Peter squints before taking an oreo, breaking it apart and eating the cream first — why would you leave the cream out.]

…

How come you don’t eat the cream, sir?

[Roderich’s eyes widen, hand going out to shield the pile of cream sided cookies]

Of course I eat the cream, and of course I eat it after I’m done everything else. It’s the best part.

[He goes to drink the milk, and straightens from pride when the heat doesn’t bother him]

fortroughs: Oh — Alright, Mister Roderich! We can get those out and — and, ah! The milk is...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:53:00 -0500

fortroughs:

Oh —

Alright, Mister Roderich! We can get those out and — and, ah! The milk is ready.

[he puts the package of oreos on the table and scurries over to get the milk — carefully, of course, because it’s hot]

—here you are! One mug of hot milk with marshmallow foam. And you can have as many biscuits as you’d like.

[Roderich takes an Oreo first, breaking it down the middle taking care to leave the cream on one side, setting that side down and dunking the leftover cookie in the milk. After eating that he takes another cookie and begins to do the same, leaving the sides with the cream on the table.]

fortroughs: [Peter peeks out from where he’s rummaging, before looking back in.] Uhm — I don’t...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:41:56 -0500

fortroughs:

[Peter peeks out from where he’s rummaging, before looking back in.]

Uhm — I don’t think so! But we’ve got Oreos, do those count? I like Oreos a lot, sir —

[He bends down to look over Peter’s shoulder, mumbling when he speaks, looking down at the floor]

I like Oreos a lot too Peter.

kankokuu:

roadrich:

I think some meat would be good right now, I don’t particularly care which.

Great, you’re feeling adventurous then! Maybe I’ll slip you in some kimchi. I’m sure you’ll like it, but I’ll brew some tea if it’s too spicy!

You know what?

Let’s try it.

[Oh God I’ve made a mistake but I can save face, it can’t be all that bad, there’s nothing to be done know anyhow]

fortroughs: [he beams] Alright! Okay, so we put it in for a minute, and — Oh! If you’d like...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:20:39 -0500

fortroughs:

[he beams]

Alright! Okay, so we put it in for a minute, and —

Oh! If you’d like biscuits, we’ve got those too. We have all kinds, if you’d like —

I’ll take you up on the offer. Do you have frosted ones?

kankokuu: Ah—! I think I might have some! Are you partial to barbequed beef or pulled pork at all?...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:11:09 -0500

kankokuu:

Ah—! I think I might have some! Are you partial to barbequed beef or pulled pork at all? Or would you just like a veggie sandwich?

I think some meat would be good right now, I don’t particularly care which.

[Oh no, that’s a lot of people. Does my hair look okay?]

내 집에 오신 것을 환영합니다 ~! Would you like something to drink or eat?

Do you have any small sandwiches?

fortroughs: No! That’s okay — I’m a big kid, I can do this by myself. [he’s already scurrying to...

Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:59:00 -0500

fortroughs:

No! That’s okay — I’m a big kid, I can do this by myself.

[he’s already scurrying to get the milk and a mug to pour it in]

—ah! Do you want to put marshmallows on top? Because if you heat the marshmallows, then they turn really nice into this — this foam stuff, it tastes really good with the milk.

[bothers to look like he’s considering it for more then a second]

I would like some marshmallows, thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve had milk, I can’t miss out on the full experience.
