[He's completely calm. Where he's from, you declare war on someone and THEN go back to get your armies and kick the other nation's ass. That bad habit of attack first and declaare war later that some nations will develop in the future doesn't fit into the way that he thinks in.
Plus, it is Denmark. They have fought before, and in a direct confrontation, they are at least equals. He isn't in danger of losing should Denmark attack.]
It is better 'f he b'longs to me th'n to you and Prussia.
[Strictly historically seen that is totally correct. Just that Latvia is already mostly Christian by now so there are no crusades necessary anymore. Yet still. Denmark and Prussia just never seemed good at raising kids to him.]
[ Denmark's with Sweden as far as Prussia's parenting skills go, but he's managed to not sell off raise three colonies, and they turned out well. Of course, this is also Sweden. He's going to disagree automatically. ]
And it doesn't matter, either, 'cause we've already got him.
Prussia claimed him and fought Russia for him. Latvia hasn't declared his independence from that, so he's still a Prussian territory.
[ He's speaking more formally, less casual grammar, but that really means nothing good. Smug and superior? Check. He sits down at the table and places his coffee cup down with a gentle sound. ]
[ But he notices the movement and registers, on some level, what it means. Denmark stands back up. He hates that Sweden's taller, but—but, come to think of it, Sweden's from the past, isn't he?
He drinks more coffee and sets the cup down carefully, before slowly walking in Sweden's direction—not getting too close, close enough for it to mean anything. Just closer. ]
[He tenses when Denmark approaches and shifts slightly, but not enough to be able to attack easily. A fight would be very unwise should Denmark carry weapons. He doesn't really think he would, but how should he be sure?]
Ya've got it all wrong, Sweden. [ No nicknames. ] Prussia owns Latvia. He got him from Russia. Even if this Russia is a different one somehow, Prussia never gave Latvia back.
And since he and I are unified, I can't let ya going around claiming my land.
[Sweden would get serious, too, but that is just something that you won't be able to distinguish from the outside. Well, you actually might. His facial expression doesn't change but his eyes shine with an expression that he seems to have lost after the breakdown of the empire. It is just a little shift in his aura that you can't really put your finger on.]
I c'n get my land back fr'm those that claimed 't unrightful.
[ He doesn't notice, at least no higher than in the very back of his mind—in the front, at most, it's a weird sense of familiarity. He didn't get to where he did by being attuned to subtleties. ]
[ At the step forward, Denmark's smile broadens, if anything. Sve. His brother. His once-friend. Who he hadn't seen in almost a hundred years. Who he had once sworn to punch in the face next time he saw. There's a twisty, nervous feeling at where this is going—but it's mostly reckless, even happiness, and that happiness is clear on his face. ]
[One of the things that maked Denmark different from most other nations? It's harder to loom over him because his height is much closer to Sweden's. Sweden manages anyway, just because it is what he usually does without paying attention to it.
...Why is Denmark always in the way? No matter how strong he gets, he never gets away from him. Not fully.]
[ Another thing that makes Denmark different: He never realizes he's being loomed over. He has many feelings towards Sweden, but fear has never, ever been one of them. His grin stretches wider. ]
I don't wanna fight ya, Sweden. It'd be a pain in the ass, and not worth the effort. The Prusso-Danish Empire has and has had Latvia. Ya can claim Estonia if ya want, but push it and we'll push the fuck back.
Which might be why Sweden is okay with being annoyed by him as long as nothing important comes up. It's nice if once in a while someone doesn't start to get nervous if you're looking at them.]
[Okay now. Let's just declare war for real without really saying anything.]
'f y' want Latvia th't bad, I c'n expand elsewhere.
[And there is only one nation around that he'd want in his house. Because Poland (and thus Lithuania as well) no plz thx. And Russia and Prussia are just way too troublesome.]

action; can we not damage them too much? Sweden needs to fight Prussia the next day
that battle might be off since iirc prussia is getting locked in a closet
...If he doesn't message Sweden, Sweden will assume that he run from the fight and that Latvia's his
Looks that that's what'll happen!
...that is a sad way to lose a territory.
denmark will dispute it. and so will prussia.
Fuck. My notifs are acting up again. If I don't tag back, poke me.
