In Norwegian, the expression "å ta fatt" (lit. to take grasp on) means rougly the same as "to take on" or "to embark upon". It is especilly common in the context of starting to do something:

Jeg skal ta fatt på denne oppgaven i dag: I will take on this task today; I will start this task today

For ti år siden tok hun fatt på sitt livs reise: Ten years ago, she embarked upon the voyage of her life

When merging the two words together, an adjective is formed. However, this word's meaning is the complete opposite of the former example: to be hard to ask to do something, idle, sluggish, or indolent.

I miss’d ye too, Peter. Pappa’s sorry for leaving again.

It's okay, Pappa! I'm just happy that you're home, so much has happened while you were gone!

[his smile widens and he hugs a little tighter, nuzzling]

--!! Pappa! You're back!!

[ he rushes over to the Swede, before hugging tight around him and peeking up at him with a big smile.]

Has entered Deutschland.

  Germany sighed to himself, it seeming to be out of slight annoyance. There was much to do at this time, at least. To where he had to pause in his work that had to only do with his land, and focus on others. Reason over why, is because that a EU meeting was to be held tomorrow. He had to prepare for it, considering it had to do much with stocks, and debts.

He walked to his office, letting out a deep sigh. He knew that this meeting will be difficult, but, he supposed he should possibly be used to it by now. Most meetings they held always ended with arguments, and, disagreements. He would have to be the one to break them apart. Ludwig supposed that he should get over it, in any case.

Suddenly, on his way, he realized. He had visitors. Germany paused in his steps, looking over, and making eye contact. He did not expect anyone to come over today. He supposed he should not just shoo them out, however. It would be rude, even though he did have a bit of work to attend to (even if he could get to it later, he found it to be the better choice to do it now). But for the time being the visitor had his attention.

"Oh. Hallo... Is there something I may help you with?"
