"Are..you certain this is meant to be eaten?" A curious inquiry, of fear and amazement that honeyed her tongue upon the sight of the 'dish' placed in front of her. Dish, if one could call it that. It looked as though Arthur had been the one to make it.

To be fair, Sarafina didn't believe Arthur would put something practically rotting on her plate and expected her to eat it. For he was a more..practical cook than this. This had been Sara's first experience being in Iceland, but it almost felt as though Eiki was messing around with her. There was no possible way this was a serious meal that he had grown accustomed to eating. It stunk, it was practically decomposing right in front of her! If he was serious, than Sara was in dire concern for his health. Whoever thought that rotten shark needed to be a delicacy, Sara was sure they were rolling in their grave now.

"You take a bite first." Chickening out at the last second, but it was only fair. This was his dish, so he should be the one to eat first.

[A parcel arrives at Madga's house. Carefully packed for its long journey across the sea is a neatly wrapped Christmas present consisting of two items: a pair of deep red and white wool socks with cable knit braids going up the front, and a bar of Nói Sírius chocolate. The card attached cheerily wishes "Gleðileg jól!" and below it Eiríkur has added his own words. "Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy them."

Oh! There is something about parcels that fills a person with excitement, regardless of whether it's expected or unexpected. A smile appears on Magdalena's face when she sees the package's place of origin, simultaneously hoping that her own gift reached Iceland in one piece. Her smile only grows upon unwrapping the gift. Anyone who knew the Pole longer than an hour knew that she had a sweet tooth and a special love for chocolate. The socks were not unappreciated, though! Magdalena always needed protection against the chill of winter. She replaced the socks on her feet with her present and snapped a picture.

(SMS: Rysiek 🇮🇸) [Image] (SMS: Rysiek 🇮🇸) Your package arrived safely! (SMS: Rysiek 🇮🇸) Hopefully you've received one from me by now :) (SMS: Rysiek 🇮🇸) Thank you! I love it! and Merry Christmas!

[A neatly wrapped Christmas gift is found in Fannar's mailbox. It has been left there personally but the sender has skittishly escaped the scene long ago. The present consists of two items: a book that Fannar had mentioned to Eiríkur in passing months earlier, and a pair of wool socks in soft shades of grey with a black and white yoke pattern around the ankles. A card attached cheerfully wishes "Gleðileg jól!" and below Eiríkur has added his own words. "I hope you like them. Take care."]

Fannar really hadn't been expecting any gifts to be left there, so when he opened his mailbox in the foyer downstairs he was surprised, to say the least. Hopefully he hadn't left it there too long, since he hadn't checked it in a day or two—

He brings it back up to his apartment, and then sits down on the couch to open it. As soon as he sees the book title, he knows it is from Eiríkur, and he can't help but smile at the fact that he had remembered him talking about it. It's all so thoughtful, and he tugs his phone out to send him a quick text.

[ til: eiríkur ] Thank you so much for the gifts! I can't believe you remembered about that book. Thank you! Gleðileg jól!

He has to admit it, and with all the love in the world to Eiríkur: he feels incredibly awkward. He is not good at being tended to, doted on, or anything or the sort — although it’s sorely needed at times, Fannar has never been able to sit back and just let things be done for him.

And he doesn’t need anything to be done for him. He’s fine. Eiríkur is just worrying; needlessly, at that. And he has apparently taken to sitting in the seat beside him at the table, a small bowl of kjötsúpa and a spoon being laid out in front of him, in an attempt to get Fannar to eat something.

It really only serves to make Fannar’s cheeks grow red; feeling awkward, he holds a hand over his mouth and coughs, and then he slides the bowl a little further towards Eiríkur before he folds his arms against the edge of the table.

“I’m really not hungry. Maybe you should have it?”

If there was one type of event that could pull Roderich out of his mostly self imposed isolation, it was a music conference. Iceland had an almost surprising amount of them which had attracted his attention. Often he acted as an anonymous benefactor to fund up and coming artists that used classical instruments, but this time he had decided to come in person to see what new talent he could find. The first day had mostly been him lurking in the back of meeting rooms and listening to music producers speak on what they were currently working on and he had found very little to spark his interest so he had headed out into the city for the evening.  Of course somehow this had resulted in him playing the violin outside of a bar with a fairly sizable crowd. Although he would not consider himself much of an attention seeker, being handed a violin after claiming that he ‘most certainly could play anything requested’ was a difficult temptation to resist. Being an unobtrusive observer was most certainly going to be difficult after this, but for the moment he was fairly caught up in playing most of the violin sonatas thrown his way by those watching.

“ sorry i’m so hard to deal with sometimes . ”

angsty drabble prompts

She stayed still in the corner, her arms hugging her legs. She couldn't bring herself to look at the Icelandic. Her heart’s too heavy to do so, and the aching is still pretty fresh. If there's anyone who should feel worthless now, she thinks it’s her. It’s been so many years since she unearthed her insecurities. She believed she'll never feel this way again... but she can't help but feel so useless, especially to a dear one.

"....No, I am the one who should apologize." Sorrow softly fills her voice. "I... shouldn't have run away when you were venting. I-I just... got really scared, that's all." The guilt in her heart didn't melt away. Although Milda tried her best to calm him down, she was still sensitive to angry outbursts. If only she didn’t ghost him... she hated that she made him feel that way. "I should've been a better friend to you...I’m sorry."  A heavy sigh escapes her lips.
