My Roommate is a friend with my friend:

"Hey, Ludwig," Mathias waved happily from the porch, and stubbed out the cigarette he'd just been smoking. Then reached into his pocket to take out another one.

Ludwig stood in the doorway, a bit surprised to see the Danish man at his home. He didn't invite him over, or at least if he had, Ludwig had no recollection of it, "Mathias, what are you doing here?"

The man's brows knitted together and he titled his head, "An'na didn't tell you I was coming over?"

Equally confused, Ludwig shook his head in the negative.

The Dane lit the nicotine stick which made Ludwig frown at the indirect pollution of his lungs, and started to explain, "There's a music festival about an hour away. She said she wanted to go so I volunteered to be company."

Mathias turned his head to exhale the smoke in the opposite direction, "I would have come inside but she said she'd be 'right out'. I guess I shouldn't have fell for that one. 'Right out' in women language means the next thirty minutes."

On any other occasion, Ludwig may have stiffed a laugh. Or he even may have joined in on Mathias' friendly banter. At the moment, however, he was a bit confused. An'na hadn't mentioned anything about a music festival to him. Nor did she tell him that his old friend was accompanying her there. Not that she needed to, she was free to do as she pleased of course.

"Sorry I'm late," said woman in question squeezed between Ludwig and the door to get outside. Mathis smiled, letting the cigarette dangle from his lips for a moment before removing it.

"No problem," he said, "Ready?"

His roommate nodded and they started towards his car, but not before An'na waved good-bye without even turning to look at him.
