A dare, y'say.

Wouldn't be that same dare what called for you bein' sloshed 'n goin' around gettin' in people's faces, is it. Thought y'did a right thorough job of that.

/slow as sloths /mööööörg

[kingkongeriget]

Dare was t'do it t'three folks, Nor.

[iceandheather]

That so.

Still doubtin' the whole drunk bit, mind. That part sounds like summat y'came up with your own self.

[Prods]

Don't it.

[kingkongeriget]

Don't it? Don' remember!

[iceandheather]

Course you don't. But 's what it looked like.

[Eyes him. He should have expected.]

'Spect you had a right headache after. Serves you right, goin' round doin' summat foolish like that.

[kingkongeriget]

...wasn't too bad.

[LIES]

[iceandheather]

Don't believe it. ... Hold on.

[Steps close to him; reaches up and fidgets with the collar of Denmark's shirt, as if it had been flipped up a bit, out of place. It hadn't. But it's a convenient excuse to be closer, and for Norway to quiet his voice a bit.]

Now. What had you so bothered that you went 'n did that. An' don't try bluffin' me; I'll ha' none've it.

[kingkongeriget]

[lets Norway fuss with the shirt]

Weren't nothin'! Honest!

Was jus' feelin' dumb an' didn't wanna think on none'a it.

[iceandheather]

Takes more'n nothin' for you to do that, says I.

[Glances up at him, then away. Fusses a bit more, then just stops. Rests his hands on Denmark's shoulders lightly.]

But if'n you don't want t'think on it, guess pushin' it don't help none. Does it.

[kingkongeriget]

Weren't nothin' t'think on then an' there still ain't! But folks kept talkin' like there were. Ain't so easy not thinkin' on it when folks's makin' ya, ya know?

[iceandheather]

You're lyin'. Or pretendin'. I'll let be, but don't go sayin' there warn't nothin'. There was.

[kingkongeriget]

Mean it! Really!

Don't got no reason t'be lyin'!

[iceandheather]

No reason 'sides not wantin' to think on it.

[Sighs and just leans against him a bit]

Stubbornness, this is. Hmm-mm. But I'll let you have it.

[kingkongeriget]

[wraps his arms around him and hugs]

Fine! 'cuz I'll be framin' it an' puttin' it up on th'wall!

[iceandheather]

[A glance around, just in case, before sliding his arms around Denmark. Fine. It's fine.]

Excessive. Actin' like I never let you get away with anything. 'S nonsense, that.
