[remember that fire at 1446 Mitchell Road a while back? ...it's now a fire at 1446 Mitchell Road AND 1444 Mitchell Road, taking the place of a mysteriously absent dividing fence

[Sealand is staring at the fire, looking slightly uneasy because he's pretty pyrophobic. The idea of getting near the fire really scares him, even though he really wants a marshmellow.]

W-What are you doing?

[discoinfernorz]

Roasting marshmallows. Would you like one?

[he's holding one out right now! look at how fluffy and sugary and tempting it is~ COME TO THE FIRE LITTLE BOY]

[from_thesea]

Yeah!

[He's looking at the marhsmellows and the fire, trying to decide if it's worth it. At the end he just reaches out his hand as far as he can.]

Can you bring me one?

[discoinfernorz]

[he looks between Sealand and the fire, and for a moment it seems he might burst into laughter.]

Do you dislike the fire?

[instead of laughing though (okay outside of a tiny snicker), he raises a hand and the flames are momentarily extinguished.]

[from_thesea]

[Sealand looks a little a insulted by the snickers, but doesn't comment on them.]

I'm scared of fire or anything! I just dislike it, yeah!

[But he runs towards the marshmallows, grabs a few, then runs back to where he was standing before, as if he was afraid the fire might spontaneously come back again.]

[discoinfernorz]

[yeah he's just going to sit here being thoroughly amused by the kid]

You can sit and enjoy those, you know. The fire won't come back.

[Sealand was a sort-of-not-human-ally thing after all; there was no reason to scare him to death. ...as fun as that might be.]

[from_thesea]

A-Alright..

[Sealand would not appreciate getting scared to death. But he still sits down next to Hao and chews on his marshmallow nervously.]

Did you use your fence for the bonfire?!

[discoinfernorz]

[reaching to grab a marshmallow for himself, he pauses to glance up at the fence. that's quickly followed by a nod and smile, like it was totally normal to go around using stuff like that as firewood.]

Yes I did. Our neighbor seemed so adamant on taking it down, I figured I would help him along.

[...and burn a good sized chunk of his lawn and his Pact Flamingo in the process.]

[from_thesea]

[Sealand, too, is taking another marshmallow, because he likes sugar. But he's not calm yet, He's still eyeing the burnt flamingo.]

Isn't your neighbor Russia?

[discoinfernorz]

I believe that's what he called himself, yes.

[he's now prodding at the melty flamingo with his foot and grinning widely. so much for that Pact Kid had accidentally made.]

[from_thesea]

Then isn't he mad? Russia is kinda scary..

[Sealand is pretending not to be unnerved, but is failing miserably.]

[discoinfernorz]

[he sees that you're unnerved and is not-so-secretly laughing in amusement]

I suppose, though I don't see why. He was the one who wanted the fence taken down so badly in the first place.

[and he's now shaking his head like Angry Russia is also a funny thing and not at all a shovel-swinging terror]

Some people.

[from_thesea]

[Sealand is taking more marshmallows, the ungrateful little child. Also, he's ignoring Hao's laughter, although he doesn't understand how anybody can find any sort of amusment in fire.]

Yeah, well, Su-papa told to me to stay away from Russia. So did Latvia.

[discoinfernorz]

Really now.

[he's not bothered by all the marshmallow-snatching, and joins in to grab a few more for himself]

He's easy enough to deal with if you have the patience, though he can be dense. It's unfortunate.

[from_thesea]

He's acting weird. He doesn't remember me.

[discoinfernorz]

From what I've heard of Mayfield, it's possible that he was taken from a time before you met.
