[ is standing near the entrance of the starbucks where he had first met nathan, looking strangely compliant & calm as he listens & reacts (as quietly & discreetly as he's capable) to the bustling crowd of the afternoon. it's not so busy as to give him a headache, but busy enough to keep him entertained as he waits for his teammate/friend. ]

[ takes a moment to respond, not sure which question to answer. in the end decides to answer everything. ]

Nein, I am okay with house. Find house tomorrow? And... erm. What is skiing?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Y'know, it's not that easy to find a house in one day.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ sets that aside, finding his second (first) question more important. narrows his eyes a bit. ]

... you don't know what skiing is? It's a sport! In the snow!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ makes a confirming noise at the explanation. ]

Is skiing fun?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs, munching on the last of his rice. ]

Dunno. I don't really like sports.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ gives nathan a pat, though the motion seems more absent-minded than usual. ]

Sport in snow is okay? I try at fight in snow in Deutschland. Is fun.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

... why am I not surprised that you used 'fight' and 'fun' in the same sentence.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

. . . ? Is bad?

[ shifts towards nathan, pretending to whisper to him: ]

I think he meant snowball fights.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ ears might be turning a bit pink at that. ]

S-SHUT UP! I knew that!

[kindrevenge.livejournal.com]

[ ignores, shifting his gaze over to caleb. ]

So. Do you celebrate Christmas?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Ja! More fun than fight in snow. I buy present for team!

[kindrevenge.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well, I have a feeling you'll be getting lots of gifts this year.

[kindrevenge.livejournal.com]

[ jabs a thumb in nathan's direction. ]

We'll crash at his place for Christmas.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ sputters and puts his soda down on the table. ]

Don't decide that for yourself, jerk!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Erm. My house is good?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ rolls his eyes. reaches over to lightly knock caleb on the head once with a fist. ]

Yeah, if you find one.

[ startles a bit, surprised by the sudden contact. ]

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ & thinks about the words a bit, looking a little distraught. ]

. . .

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

. . . I find tomorrow! I find good house! For party!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head. ]

Yeah, yeah. Good luck with that.

[kindrevenge.livejournal.com]

[ finally pipes up again in mid-chew. ]

You could go help him, cranky.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ chokes on his pepsi and sputters. ]

H-he can do it by himself-!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ then turns a little pink, looking at caleb in the corner of his eye. averts them again when he talks. ]

I mean. Unless... you want me to go, of course...

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ quickly adds on at the last minute, a knee-jerk addendum: ]

Not that you need me or anything!
