Maddie looked at the boy with a small smile. "Its nice to meet you, Lukas has told me about you" Maddie greeted. The boy just stared at them. "Did he now." The boy said before walking out without an other word.

Lukas sighed then turned back to Maddie. "Let's go back to the living room, ja? Do you need help walking?" He didn't wait for Maddie's response, and put her arm over his shoulder again and helped her walk to the living, then sat her down on a couch.
Mathias was back to his usual uncaring self. He walked over to Maddie and asked "Do you drink alcohol?" whilst holding a shot glass.

"Oh, no not really Mr.Mathias but thank you for the offer" Maddie said polity

Mathias frowned. "B-But it's tradition!" He said before melo-dramatically stalking away.
Lukas looked at Maddie, and thought he should explain. "In Scandinavia, it's tradition to drink a shot of beer, then a shot of Akvavit during "snaps". In Norway, the Akvavit is served room temperture, but in Denmark and Sweden, it's cooled down."

Maddie looked confused. She really didn't understand Scandinavian culture at all, seeing that she herself was Canadian, but quickly got over it when she recalled Mathias saying 'Tradition'. "I'm sorry, I had no idea it was Tradition!" Maddie apologized.

Mathias ran back enthusiastically. "Okay, then I get out an extra glass~"
Lukas just looked at Maddie. "It's okay that you didn't know, the only reason we still uphold that tradition anymore is so we have an excuse to drink. Atleast, thats how SOME of us see it." lukas said, sending Mathias a glare.

Maddie laughed at the glare Lukas sent Mathias.

Mathias finished setting the table and called everyone over. Once everyone sat down, they were free to take food from the plates in the middle on the table. Mathias poured everyone a shot glass of beer, then sucked down his glass.
Lukas threw his head back and downed the glass quickly. Fuck, he missed the taste of beer. The hospital should get a bar or something.

Tino shrugged, and walked into the kitchen with his eyes downcast, aware that Berwald was staring at him. He headed for the fridge, moved the contents around a little to make room, and starting unloading the bags into it, keeping one bottle of akvavit for himself.
He opened the bottle and was about to drink from it when he made the mistake of catching the tall man's eye. Ugh. He really didn't want to share, but he didn't dare be rude to the intimidating Swede. Sigh. He held the bottle out. "Would you like some?"
He didn't wait for the answering nod before reaching for a shot glass - Mathias had quite the collection of them - and filling it with amber liquid. He left it on the table, not wanting to get close enough to Berwald to directly hand it to him, and retreated back to the doorway. Sounds of enthusiastic greeting rang through the house - Lukas must be back. Well, he didn't want to get in the middle of that reunion. Seemed he was trapped here. At least he had booze. He took a long drink.
"Didn' know ya were gettin' outta the hospital."
Tino startled. Berwald wasn't one for making conversation, and he hadn't expected he'd try now. He wasn't sure how to reply, seeing as how he technically wasn't supposed to be out of the hospital.
"Ya feelin' better?"
Gah, stubborn man, interrupting his drinking. Tino glared at his bottle, afraid to show his irritation openly. "We're not out-out. Just... here for a visit."
He was saved from having to explain further by Mathias, darting in and out of the kitchen to collect plates and glasses and utensils and finally food, imploring them both to sit and have dinner.
((Maddie, don't apologize. I'm just sorry I'm so slow. *cries*))

Lukas got ready to down his shot of akvavit when he saw Berwald and Tino sit down. He merely looked at Tino, hoping that was enough of an apology for making him worry. If he even did worry.
He drank his shot glass, then started piling food onto his plate. Better eat as much as possible, It's going to be a while before he gets good food again...
[[ Sure, you're slow, but you write alot when you do post, which is grand~! ]]

When they got to the table, only two seats were left. Right next to each other. Of course. Berwald pulled out one chair for Tino and made sure he was settled before sitting himself. Tino cradled the bottle of akvavit on his lap. He was going to need it.
Lukas caught his eye, looking... worried? Apologetic? Tino didn't care, and shrugged in reply. He was doomed to be loomed over for the duration of the visit. Doomed. He tried to shrug that off, too, and waggled his fingers at Emil in greeting.
At least there was plenty of food! And whatever else he might say about the hulking creature next to him, Berwald was a pretty damn good cook.
((I have to to catch up. :-P))

Emil nodded his head slightly at Tino before taking his seat in a calm silence.
Maddie on the other hand was freakin out. She didn't know what to do! First they offered her alcohol and she can't blurt out the she's a lightweight that wouldn't go down well. Thanks to her half-sister, who spiked her drink at her 18th birthday resulting in her passing out on the floor in a tutu and a sombrero, all she could do is stare at the amber liquid awkwardly as every around her was taking it down like they did it everyday. Emil had noticed that blond had done nothing but stare at the liquid in front of her. "Lukas.... I think your friend is going to be sick" He said plainly, pointing to Maddie's pale face.

Lukas looked over at Maddie, she looked like she was freaking out. She really musn't like to drink...
"You don't have to drink if you don't want to... Nobodies forcing you." Lukas said, finishing off a serving of beef from his plate. Maddie must feel terrible, being surrounded by drunkards. Peer pressure is a bitch.

"B-but its Tradition isn't it?!" Maddie panicked. "It would be rude of me not to follow it, but..." Maddie tailed off, thinking back to the party, i almost maybe her fell sick just thinking about it.
Emil looked at the girl, tiring to understand why she would accept the offer of alcohol when she looks like she can't stand to look at it. Then it hit him. "Mathias, I think Maddie is a lightweight" Emil stated bluntly, not noticing Maddie squeak or redden face.

Mathias sucked back his 3rd shot of Akvavit. "Woah, seriously? How awkward..."
Lukas just shrugged "That doesn't mean you have to drink. There are many traditions people are supposed to follow, but don't. If you don't want to drink, then don't drink." he said plainly. It's just that simple.
