You and me, baby (Stuttgart)

[Lucianna McKnight]

The green haired girl let out an alarmed gasp as Till made his comment. “I’m truly shocked that you would think something so terrible of me.” Lucy said, teasingly as she laughed a little and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes when he said that she wouldn’t understand what it was like.

“Oh, I know. I’m just totally not as attractive as you are my sexy little blue haired friend,” Lucy said, letting out a laugh. And when Till stopped to look around, she couldn’t help but look around as well, it truly was beautiful out there and as if Till was reading her mind, he said he could really live in Bavaria. “Why’s that?” Lucy asked, in almost the same tone that he had used.

[Till Hoffmann]

Till grinned one of his epic mad grins at Lucy. Silly goosy.

'Hey, hey, can I remind you that you started it? I would have been really nice to you if you'd started this conversation properly,' he stated, his smile growing even wider at the thought of what he was going to say next. 'By bowing down and calling me Lord and Master, for starters.'

He returned to his serious-like dreamy state when she replied to his loudspoken thought. Had he even really said that out loud? Huh. Seemed like he had.

'It's just...' He struggled with words. 'A part of me. I belong. And it pulls. And Da-' He stopped short of saying Damian was constantly saying they should move back.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Till’s smile was infectious and when he grinned at her, she couldn’t help but smile too and she couldn’t help the burst of laughter that escaped her lips when he said that she hadn’t addressed him properly and when she was able to compose herself, she said, “I apologize, terrible mistake on my part, Master.”

To be honest, Lucianna couldn’t understand what Till meant about feeling a pull to Bavaria as she never felt a pull towards any location but she did see what he was talking about, certain things made people want to be in certain places because of the memories they invoked.

She gave the man a confused look at the last thing he said, or, rather, what he was about to say before he cut off and that was fine, she wasn't going to push him for it, it was obviously something that he didn't want her to know and for Till to not want her to know something, it must have been pretty secretive and she respected that.

[Till Hoffmann]

'Aaaah, much better now,' Till grinned, bowing his head.

He became lost in his own thoughts entirely too long, to the point that it was rude. There certainly were good traits about Bavaria. His native dialect, for one. Then the beer, the food, the Alps, the gorgeous landscapes, more beer, and beer... and just this familiarity that still called out to him, even well after fifteen years. It wasn't easy to define. It was as though there was this mystery, which lay hidden inside the very land. And it would be so unlike Till not to want to uncover it. Besides, even after all these years, this was Damian's land. It always would be, too.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Lucy was pretty sure that even if she danced a weird jig in front of Till with a feathery hat, he would not have snapped out of whatever thoughts he was in and she couldn’t lie, she was mildly interested in what he was thinking but she wasn’t going to ask because she wasn’t sure if, because he was so focused on his thoughts, he would have a spaz attack.

But then again, that would be pretty funny, wouldn’t it? A smirk took place on Lucy’s face as she thought about this and she poked her blue haired friend in the side while saying, “I can’t believe this. You’re ignoring me. How could you possibly ignore your best friend in the whole wide world?” She tried to act like she was really offended but on the inside, she was laughing hysterically.

[Till Hoffmann]

'Ignoring you? Me? Never!' Till replied goofily, having been caught red-handed doing just that. He tried to shake off the calling of the... well, not the wild. The whatever it was that Bavaria was doing to him. Maybe Damian had paid someone to drug his Eiskaffee, he wouldn't quite put it past him.

Eventually he did shake it off, though, to refocus on his friend.

'I was born here,' he said. Not that she didn't know this.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Lucianna laughed but brushed that off, she couldn’t be even the slightest bit irritated with him for it, he was prone to getting lost in his thoughts just like she was prone to clumsiness and never did they ever really get irritated with one another over it which was rare to find in someone as usually, they couldn’t handle how much she fell or hurt herself in one day.

“What made you leave?” Lucy asked, giving her full attention to her friend. Funny thing how they had known each other for so long and she had never asked that question.

[Till Hoffmann]

Till welcomed the interruption of his thoughts. They weren't super awesome thoughts to begin with. Things like wondering what life would have been like if he had never left... no, it didn't do to dwell with these thoughts. It wouldn't change anything, really, not that he could see. Except that Damian might stop complaining about how he hated England.

'My parents,' he replied. 'They're Squibs too, and thought it would be great fun to uproot me and go start a German bakery in Purley for the hell of it.' He might have sounded bitter, but he wasn't really. He liked England. It had its advantages.

[Lucianna McKnight]

The way Till put what he said, made Lucianna’s eyebrow raise in curiosity. He seemed kind of upset about having been moved to England and she wondered why. But then again, she had always lived in England and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else or having been forced to move somewhere she was unsure of. She could see how that would have been uncomfortable, having to adjust to new people and new ways.

“Do you wish you could live here again or do you like England?” Lucy said, still not sure as to how he felt about things. She had never heard Till mention that he wanted to go back but maybe it was because she never asked or they never really got on the topic of their families.

[Till Hoffmann]

When Till thought about it, it always made him bitter. Despite the obvious advantages of having lived in England, he always seemed to think back on what sort of life he could have had. What kind of future would have been possible for him in his little village of Schwangau? Difficult questions. There were good reasons why he preferred not to think about this.

'I don't know,' Till snapped. Wow, way to be harsher than he meant. He fell silent, not knowing how to rectify this.

[Lucianna McKnight]

If Lucianna had been pushing him, she obviously had no idea. Well, until he snapped at her which, made the girl flinch a little and she really wasn’t sure what to say to him at that point. What was friendly chatter had turned into something else and she had no idea how it came to be but what she did know was that she didn’t like being spoken to that way.

If Till had had a problem with the way the conversation was going he would have said so before, wouldn’t he? Well, apparently not as they were now kind of stuck in silence at the way things were. “Maybe I should go.” Lucianna said, quietly. Not really wanting to but also not understanding if Till wanted company at this moment or not, she gave him a small smile and turned to walk away.

[Till Hoffmann]

Till's eyes widened when he saw his friend start to leave.

That's not what he had wanted! He spun on the spot super fast, grabbing her arm.

'I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be a witch,' he apologized. 'Germany gives me mixed feelings.'

It was a pathetic excuse, to be sure, but at least it was true.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Lucy’s eyes grew wise when she felt her friend grab her arm and apologize. She felt a smile take place on her face and said, “It’s okay I just thought I had offended you somehow and that maybe you wanted to be left alone.” After a few seconds, she said, “I really didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable.”

People always had different reactions to things they were asked and sometimes their thought process could lead them to an angry or uncomfortable place and Lucianna could understand that, surely she had done that before herself.

[Till Hoffmann]

'Quit being sorry, it's me who's sorry for being a witch to you,' Till replied, batting the eyelids of his beautiful green eyes that no girl could resist. Or Damian, but whatever. The point here, was that Lucy wasn't supposed to resist his amazingness and gorgeous eyes. And body, and all.

'You're gonna stay right here, and we have to go grab an Eiskaffee. Now.' He was such a genius.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Lucianna rolled her eyes at her friend and said, “Fine, fine. I’ll shut up now.” Why did Till have to be so darn cute all the time? It was truly impossible to resist his behavior when he acted in his syrupy-sweet ways. Really, it was impossible for any woman to resist Till and he knew it, of course. Women tended to throw themselves at her blue haired friend but never did give in to any of them.

“I promise to stay put.” Lucy said, giving Till a smirk. “If you show me what in the world that is.”

[Till Hoffmann]

Till grinned a big grin at his friend when she said she's stay. Good, good!

He started to walk towards a gellateria, or however those Italian ice cream shops were called. He preferred to eat ice cream rather than wonder what the name of these places were. Besides, they were all called things like Stuttgart Eis. [ Click for OOC Comment ]

Never been to Stuttgart, but it's true for Heidelberg, ha.

He ordered two Eiskaffee in rapid German, proud of the Bavarian accent that still shone bright, paid, and thrust one into his friend's hand.

'There you are. Coffee, ice cream, and whipped cream. Prost!' Till exclaimed, clinking his plastic cup to hers, before slurping from the straw.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Now, Lucy didn’t know what an Eiskaffee was but from the looks of the stand they were now standing in front of and all the things their customers were walking away with, she knew she wouldn’t be disappointed and when Till handed her the drink and explained, her eyes darted from her cup to Till a few times like a delighted child who just woke up on Christmas day.

She smiled at Till and said, “Cheers,” holding her cup up for him to tap his against before she took a sip of the wonderful combination of coffee and ice cream. “You know, I think the only bad thing about this is that they don’t serve it in buckets.” She joked when she finally looked up at her friend.

[Till Hoffmann]

Till grinned, tapping his plastic cup against hers, and slurped his Eiskaffee noisily. More noisily than was usually acceptable in public, but hey, he'd make his appreciation known.

He drank more of the drink for a while, keeping silent.

'That's the kind of thing I'd like to drown in. That, or beer. Imagine that,' he said dreamily. 'Death by drowning in Eiskaffee...'

[Random Event]

Standing around was all fine and dandy but with other customers in the area, it would be easy to get pushed out of the way or bumped into. However, it wasn't them that should be worried about. A strange man, shabbily clothed, came running through. His cries of "they're coming, they're coming, they're going to eat you alive" allowing people to believe that he was mad. But what was coming exactly? No one but the man knew.

He tried to make an attempt to grab Till's arm but stopped. "You'll be next." He warned the male before running off, continuing to shout that something or someone was coming as he disappeared out of sight.

[Lucianna McKnight]

Lucianna couldn’t help but giggle a little at the slurping noises Till was making but she quickly ended her laughing so she could take a sip of her drink and her eyes went wide as she drank a little longer and when she pulled the cup away from her mouth, she noticed a bit of whipped cream had stuck to her upper lip and she couldn’t resist posing, a hand on her hip as she said, “How do you like my sexy moustache?” She even wiggled her eyebrows a little and struggled to keep laughter from bursting out of her.

“Hmm. That is a wonderful thought,” Lucy agreed, smiling a little as she thought of a tub filled with Eiskaffee. That would be wonderful.

However, her fantasy was rudely interrupted by a man who was making quite a ruckus about something eating someone and Lucy stared at him wide eyed as he tried to grab her friend and warned him that he would be next. When he ran off, Lucianna wiped her lip and threw Till a confused look. “You have any idea what that’s about?”

[Till Hoffmann]

'Oh, it's very sexy,' Till agreed when Lucy showed off her new facial hair. Nothing like a mustache on a green-haired girl to make her ten times sexier, of course.

He would probably have voiced this comment were it not for the fact a random man had just appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him, and warned him. Warned him of what, even? What was that all about? Who was this guy? Before Till could ask anything or even have any sort of reaction, the man was gone.

The Squib blinked a few times before answering his friend.

'I've no idea, but, uh... apparently I'm next. We probably should leave...'

With that, Till grabbed his friend's arm, frowning slightly, and led her off.
