[Peaceful, peaceful. You might recognize the sounds of cooking, and then BZZZT! China yells in surprise and somehow manages to avoid burning himself. Not that you'd guess that from the way he's cursing a streak in Mandarin.]

What the Hell was that, aru?! AIYAAA. [Switching to English] This thing again, aru? I thought I'd lost it. Who put this in

[Sort of amused.] See you're having fun.

Try asking Yorda at the greenhouse. She might have something for you if ask nice enough.

[distantwater]

There's nothing fun about this stupid thing. I was trying to cook, aru.

[And cooking is serious business.]

...Russia mentioned a greenhouse. Who is Yorda?

[China I'm behind you staring]

You have been speaking with Russia-san?

[distantwater]

[Almost drops his ladle, damn you.] Don't sneak up on me that! No more than you have been speaking to him. Calm down, aru.

[brbmodernizing]

I have been here the entire time. [...]

I am entitled to speak to him. You are not. [Y-yes he did just say that sob]

[distantwater]

[Flustered, angry, poking you in the chest with a ladle.]

That isn't up to you, aru! Stop acting like this is home!

[brbmodernizing]

[GRABS THAT DAMN LADEL, WHY DOES EVERYONE POKE ME WITH IT]

Time may not carry over here, but we do. Russia-san is still Russia-san, no matter where he is.

[distantwater]

[Yanks it back defensively.] Don't be ridiculous, aru. I know Russia much better than you, and I know how to deal with him.

[brbmodernizing]

[standing as tall as he can]

Is that so? From how I see it, China-san, you are being foolish.

[distantwater]

I am being practical. You are fighting a war best left back home.

[brbmodernizing]

I am not fighting, and I will not, unless provoked.

Russia-san seems eager to provoke.

[distantwater]

Of course he does, aru. He's Russia.

[brbmodernizing]

You expect me to do nothing about it?

[distantwater]

You'd be better off not speaking to him in the first place.

[brbmodernizing]

That is what I am saying to you.

[distantwater]

I am not at war with him back home, aru.
