Hi, meme! Happy Sunday/Monday! Is anyone excited for the Oscars? I don't really care about the awards, though I guess it'd be neat if I See the Light from Tangled one and I'll be watching that part of the ceremony, but I am so much more excited for tomorrow to look through what everyone was wearing! Okay, I'm cheating and looking at some of the

[he has some stuff he wanted to do with you]

[but his brain is sort of. Blanked.]

[1amkeit]

[He's got that ring you liked to give as a gift too]

[But his mind is thinking of only one thing right now]

[Clears his throat] ...I need a beer.

[failiciano]

[he'll be pleased to see it. When he. Gets that out of his mind.]

M--mm! I-I made you dinner, so you can go get some! [food will act as brain bleach!]

[1amkeit]

[Why does he feel so awkward whyyy] Ah... Very well.

Lead the way.

[failiciano]

[something in him must know what's coming.]

[Nods and leads the way to. . . .]

[1amkeit]

[...Wasn't expecting something quite this romantic, actually]

Ah. Thank you, Italy. It... Looks great.

[According to the novels and books he's read, he's supposed to hold out Italy's chair for him. So, he goes to do just that]

Tags will be much slower, since my mom's making me work. =n=

[failiciano]

[it's just for a relaxing mood. He knows it seems romantic but that's not his intention!]

Prego!

[Watches, then happily sits down with a chirped "grazie"]

Aw, okay. /Pats /3\

[1amkeit]

[Not that Germany will ever be able to tell the difference]

[Still planning exactly how to give Italy the ring without causing another misunderstanding...]

I will go fetch a bottle of beer, is there anything I can bring for you?

=n= That took way longer than expected.

[failiciano]

No, it's okay! I think I have everything I want here! Ah--I could get the beer for you, instead, if you want? [not that he can read the labels properly or know which one he wants. . .although he'll know not to get it if the label is in English.]

A mun's gotta do what a mun's gotta do though, huh.

[1amkeit]

No, it's fine. You just serve the pasta, and I'll be back soon.

[Stiffly walks over to the kitchen to grab a beer. While there, he takes a quick break to formulate a strategy and then makes his way back to the table, too nervous to notice any potential messes in the kitchen or anywhere, really]

Yeah. Even if it's endure the broken website!

[failiciano]

Mm!

[serves the pasta in the meantime, making sure Ludwig gets enough wurst! And pours himself some wine. Okay, what did he have to do. . . . He should ask Germany for a clue in this game he didn't realize he was playing. But he'd wait to get settled first.]

Damn it, Frank /Fetches tool kit again...

[1amkeit]

[Sits down on the other chair when he's made his way over]

[Fishes the ring out of his pocket] Ah, Italy, before we start eating, I would like to give you... [Offers the ring to Italy] This ring.

[Clears his throat] Someone told me you liked it, and since you haven't caused me too much trouble lately, I ah, I would like to give it to you, as a gift, and as a sign of my affection.

[He starts talking a little louder, this bit's important] However! Under no circumstance should you see it as an engagement ring! At all! Understood?

[...Could've used a bit more subtlety perhaps. Oh well]

/watches your manly engineeringness ooh

[failiciano]

[gives him a smile when he sits down]

V-ve? [Oh. oooh, it's this again. Oh shit.] A-ah, Germany, this isn't supposed to--

[Listens, leaving his hands where they were when he was gesturing above the table] I-I-I do like that one, Germany, but--

[OH. Okay, that makes it much better.] Oh! This is another weird German thing then? [takes the ring and admires it, before putting it on] Mm! Capisco! Ah, wait, is this the clue that I was supposed to ask you for?

[Well, subtlety wouldn't have gotten it straight into his head. So Germany's usual tactlessness has saved the day! Or, at least, his little brain-soldiers from having heart attacks.]

Re: /watches your manly engineeringness ooh

[1amkeit]

It's not a weird German thing! This gift is just an exception!

[Relieved that seems to have worked. He also starts heaping a bit of pasta on his fork, curious to how this will taste] Good. Ah, clue? What are you talking about?

[failiciano]

[twirls the pasta around his fork~] Ve, well, one of the anons said that I needed to get a clue, so I asked if we were playing a game, and they said that we are, and that you were playing, too! So I had to ask you for it!

[1amkeit]

That doesn't make sense. We aren't playing a game, we are eating pasta! Did they mention anything else?
