Voce/Video [ Uno Entrata ]

[cuori_di_ferro]

[ the video flicks occasionally and then turns off again while the audio turns onto loud shouts in a slurred mixture of Spanish and Italian followed by a few words in English that obviously were only learned for when he ran out of insults in the other ]

E 'di lavoro!?....¿Qué es esto ...[ both video and audio finally click on to show Romano half

Fail! Wrong name, lawl

[prud_englaland]

I don't believe those loyalties matter at this point...

This is a different fight.

[cuori_di_ferro]

That's easy for someone on the winning team to say!

You still have your allies! Even in this place...
My brother and I are alone!
Spain isn't even here...dammit..
[ there is a faint choking sound in the audio as he tries not to cry at the thought of him ]

[Audio]

[prud_englaland]

I believe it would be better if we all worked together, it seems detrimental at this point. I think it would be foolish and likely useless to work solely with all of our former alliances.

[A pause as he listens to you, taking a moment to think.] We could all be on the winning team, as you say; together this time.

[ a prolonged silence followed before he quietly muttered ]

A-are you serious?
Wait...what do you want then? Nobody just...

If you're trying to trick me-
I mean...why should you even care? We were enemies weren't we.
[ there is an edge of suspicion in his voice, but also a weakness ]

[Audio]

[prud_englaland]

I do not see the merit in tricking you.

We all want to leave, this is doubtless, correct? Whether we were enemies or not before, this is different. We should treat it so.

[Audio]

[cuori_di_ferro]

Yeah...I mean I guess so.

But I won't help Germany! He can rot here the potato bastard.
You can't mean to help him too? After what he did to everyone! He even did the fucking Blitz on you and you want to be allies with everyone?
...how can you even put that behind you for a one second...I can't figure out how.

[Audio]

[prud_englaland]

[Voice grows a little tight because my, sensitive subject.] My loyalty is first and foremost to my allies who fought beside me in the war if they choose to support me in return.

However, I feel as if a group effort cannot be disregarded. I am quite aware of Germany's sins but does that mean that I should neither work with your brother? That I should neither acknowledge Japan? While I will be unable to trust them as I would...[-pauses and tries to ignore that he's saying this-] France, for example, I will not deny their help if they so wish to lend it and neither would I deny mine.

[Voice growing tired.] These things are never that simple...

[ there is a very long pause before the camera lens moves away from the wall, it can be assumed Romano slunk down and rolled it back over and tilts the lens up to his face from the floor with his boot. He frowns for a moment, grappling with something ]

...Fine. I'll-"lend you my help" even if it's not probably very much. If you'll lend me yours. But this doesn't mean anything! I just...I don't have anyone else to go to.
[ he lets the camera fall back over into the carpet blocking the lens ]

[Audio]

[prud_englaland]

It's done! And when we get out of here we will pick up where we left off.

Do you have any immediate concerns or does this satisfy you?

[Audio]

[cuori_di_ferro]

Yeah.
You have to help my brother too. He won't ask for it, but...I'm the eldest! And I say he has to.

And when we do get back...I'll tell you everything you have to know about my former Ally. We were just following orders. Of anyone who says that you can believe the two of us.

Consider us...allies for now.

[Audio]

[prud_englaland]

If that is the case then very well. If he does not resist I will help when I deem necessary. And when we go home I will look forward to all you have to say.

It is my pleasure to consider you an ally.
