[he should've known better than to think that norway was asleep, and by the time he's back from smoking his pipe goddamnit he has a reply]
[he'd ask why the hell he was up, but whatever. wonders what that "I'd like to see you" is about, then wonders if he should ask, then wonders if it even matters if he knows, and finally decides against it]
[bites his lip]
Yeah.
[pauses so long he bothers to punctuate that statement while he hovers over it. uh. writes and deletes a few times - his terrible way with words is even more glaringly obvious when they're right in front of his face]
[...is that an invite? dumbass, of course that's an invite. right]
Sure I can
[though the thought makes him a little jittery, and that's weird in and of itself. runs a hand through his hair and isn't sure what else to add that doesn't sound dumb as hell]
[whatever, norway should know him well enough that such a short reply won't seem rude]
[He certainly does know him well enough, and thinks nothing of it being so short. It's fine.]
[He's more bothered by the lack of punctuation, but not much.]
Good. We can decide on it later, when ever that will be.
Have it well - And see you soon.
[He writes the last line in Dutch. Deletes it. Swears under his breath and writes it again, then sends it, closes his computer, and curls up under the covers before he can have any more second-thoughts about how that small affectionate gesture might be interpreted.]
[So, there he is curled up in bed with his computer, poking around on the internet.]
[Anyone that he would have any interest in talking to is probably asleep, if they have any sense. But one can never tell who might be lurking around.]

Hey, I'm alive. Thanks
[he figures he can elaborate and/or do something when it's not the middle of the night]

[Blames it on the lack of sleep, because he did hear about the dead being revived, after all. But... well.]
[Shoots off a quick reply]
Good.
I|
[Stares at the cursor. I want to- ... No. I need to -- Fuck no, that's worse.]
[Bites his lip - he's too tired for this shit - and thinks, 'Norge, you're being stupid'.]
If I don't run into you in the next couple of days, I'd like to see you.
[Sends it off before he changes his mind. That will have to do.]

Call me if you don't. We can meet somewhere

[He knows that this doesn't really require a reply. He knows. But he does anyway.]
Understood.
[He stares at the cursor a bit more. Thinks about it, then writes whatever comes to mind, and sends it before he can tell himself to write otherwise.]
Even if I do, maybe we could still do that, if you can find the time.

[lets out a breath and stretches back in his chair, okay, he assumes it went over fine...]
[wait. how the hell does norway know dutch anyway. he almost sends back a reply asking, but - he could ask when he calls]
[;dlkf when he calls. he gets up and cleans his house, yapping to lodewijk as he does. that was in dutch]
