week 2 - austria - friday post-investigation

[completelycrazy]

[It's later in the day when Newt makes his way over to Austria's hut. He talked with Prussia earlier and he wanted to give the two of them some space, but the coast seems to be clear for the moment. He hesitates as he approaches, not sure that he wants to bother her tonight, but... Well, it's not like he's got a lot of time to beat around that bush.

He actually knocks on her door this time, and waits until she lets him in. What a gentleman.]

Hey, Austria? It's Newt.

[She listens to every word despite this, eventually moving to rest her hand on his own and giving it a squeeze.]

You're a... very good person. Newt.

[completelycrazy]

[...?

He frowns at her, not sure what she means.]

Is that really what you got out of that? I'm not. I mean, I don't think I'm a bad person, but on the morality scale, I'm not any better than anyone else.

[He squeezes her hand just the same, though.]

1/2

[ladyofthehouse]

[She smiles, suppressing a laugh with her other hand, out of fear it could easily turn into tears.]

Nein... nein. Trust me, bitte...

2/2

[ladyofthehouse]

[She whispers to him in her Austrian accented german.]

... If you're so sure.

You may leave the door ajar for her.

[completelycrazy]

[Oh! He laughs a little, offering her a smile.]

I'm sure.

[He stands up from the bench and... Well. One more thing.]

Hey, can I hug you? [He's asking first which makes it not rude.]

[ladyofthehouse]

[Austria nods.]

[completelycrazy]

[Good! He's counting this as a manners win. Being polite is important to her, right?

He scoops her into his arms to hug her tightly, and though he won't linger too long, he wants to make sure she knows he means it before he lets go.]

You're a good person too, you know. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure we catch whoever did this, okay?
