If Tomorrow Wasn't Such a Long Time... [OPEN]
Who: Poland and ???
Where: Out on the mansion grounds
When: 10/7
Rating: Probably PG at most
Summary: Poland's having a bit of trouble dealing with Liet's departure, but at least the revolution has pushed him into accepting it enough to leave the room now and then. Progress?
The Story: ( ...Lonesome would mean nothing to me at all. )

Exploring every inch of this place is mostly pointless, but it makes him feel like he's doing something. Maybe, just maybe some clue about why they're here has gone overlooked. The stables is the last place where one could be.
...no, just horses, which of course, is a species of animal he doesn't recognize at all, but they certainly smell like ostrich-horses. One of them stares at him with vague interest as he passes by the stalls. He looks back at it, wondering if these things are self aware, like the Rabbit.

When he hears footsteps, he turns around to see who it is. He doesn't recognize Zuko, so he puts on the brightest smile he can manage. "Hey! What's up?"

"Um, hey."
One of the other horses nearby snorts at him. God does it smell in here.
"Nothing."
Zuko pauses and seems to be puzzled by Poland's horse. These are alien animals to him.
"uh..what is that thing?"
stay classy zuko.

Seriously. What the Hell is the deal with their worlds? He rode in a car in Kurt's dream once, sure, but... horses!
"Um, that's what they're called, in case you didn't get that." You could never be too sure.

Yup. He says that flat out seriously, mostly because he did actually have one for a short time. The lunacy of his world's fauna is just..something for the books. He is getting used to "normal" animals from seeing them around here, but..it's still weird.

Breeding horses is serious business, and Poland is always looking for ways to ensure that his cavalry keeps being the best in Europe.

"Yeah, they're pretty fast."

"Who are you, anyway?"

"Oh..I'm Zuko."
He rubs the back of his neck idly.

He smiles a little. "I'm like, the Kingdom of Poland. Just Poland's always cool, though! It's way nice to meet you and junk, Zuko."

Wait, did he just say Kingdom of Poland? Zuko doesn't have a Poland where he's from, but calling yourself a kingdom is a bit off. He quirks a brow. Honestly he's been getting used to how strange the residents were here. He must be just as strange to them.
"Uh..Kingdom? Is that some kind of title?"
He questions and gives a grateful nod to the nice to meet you thing.

Or they could go in circles about how a person can't be a country except that he totally is. Whatever. Poland usually just sort of wants to fast-forward through this part of first talks with people here.

"I think I understand. You're the leader of a nation named Poland, right?"
Reply
"No, um, not exactly. I'm a nation. My king's the leader, but he's totally not here right now. I'm kinda... Think of it like being, like, the soul of a people."
Reply
"..just when I thought I've seen everything."
Zuko doesn't press the issue. Poland could be crazy. Still, he doesn't seem crazy, and he's actually seen much stranger things here, like the telepathic bunny-cat that warped onto his bed.

"You're like, new here, aren't you?" he teased. After a while, you just sort of learned to stop questioning the weird stuff you found out about from other worlds.
