Midnight Mass

[el_desheredado]

[After much planning and finagling, Spain has managed to get those most important to him together for Midnight Mass at the chapel floweroverthere attends for Sunday services.

With him is mechanicalsouth while they wait for floweroverthere and holdthesetruths to show up. It's still a bit before Midnight, but Spain looks a trifle uncertain about all of this

-looking around the chapel, very confused at it all-

[Comes inside and notices the little America looking around. He's a little cautious, since that kick the kid gave a few days ago bruised like nothing else.]

-looks over at him- What's this place?

[el_desheredado]

It's the chapel.

[heroofbunnies]

Aren't chapels outside? Like where momma and Poland got married?

[Looks to Bing for that one. If he'd had this way, he'd have gone to the Cathedral in Barcelona.]

[heroofbunnies]

-backs away a little-

[floweroverthere]

Uh...well, some are outside, and some are inside. I'm sure your mama and Poland got married outside 'cause it's pretty... but now it's very cold, so we pray inside.

[heroofbunnies]

It was pretty~

[Pauses when she comes up to the kid and crouches down.]

Have you come to greet the Baby Jesus too, little Alfred?

[heroofbunnies]

Who's that?

[floweroverthere]

Ah, right... Well, he's the baby that will grow up to be King of Heaven and save our immortal souls from eternal suffering. Christmas is to celebrate his arriving in the world, so we pray to God tonight to show our joy.

[heroofbunnies]

...... what?

[Reaches down and grabs little him, picking him up and smiling a little.]

I don't really get it either, little me. We just gotta roll with it.

[heroofbunnies]

-giggles and hugs big him-

okay~

[Smiles at her boyfriend and his younger self.]

You'll hear the priest telling the story for the Gospel. It's a lovely story.
