Iceland's hand had brushed Norway's, almost knocking the rag out of his grip. The boy looked unsteady, troubled, badly disturbed. Norway brushed his brother's hair out of his eyes tenderly, comfortingly, in an effort to ease and soothe. It was for the best that they had left the scene quickly. It was clear that Iceland's memories of the kill had shaken him; it had been a fairly long while since such a bloody scene had greeted him, after all.

"The beeping..." Norway said, thinking to himself; it would be no good to worry Iceland at a time like this, yet... to skimp on the truth would be deplorable. "It was bad news."

Iceland always seemed new to things, no matter how old he was. Perhaps it was simply from a protective older brother's point of view, but like his land - constantly renewed by volcanic activity - he seemed forever young. Still, Norway could not forget. Iceland was not really a child. He was strong, and had endured much over the years. He - they - could handle this, and handle it well.

"There is a map on the device," Norway said, pulling out his PDA and angling the screen so that it faced Iceland and the Nisse, who was hovering by his brother's shoulder. "It is broadcasting the locations of everyone on this island. I believe the beeping was to inform us of the new tool."

He was sure that Iceland would understand the implication, but that shadow of doubt, of worry -- the thought that this was too much too soon, that things would fail to work out, niggled at the back of his mind. He did not want to worry Iceland. He wanted to protect him.

He just hoped he was doing it the right way.
