Video ◌ 003 ◌ Exhausted and down for the count

[When the video turns on, everything is white for a moment. Then after a bit of scuffling the view is turned upon Canada. Lying passed out on the floor.

Oh, wait. Don't panic.
He's actually just asleep.

(Sleeping on the floor. They ought to add that to the description of 'the floor' on the Thor's map.)

A soft voice comes through:]"This guy said

[ ho hum. just walking along.

until iceland trips over canada because he wasn't watching his feet.

and he lands on his face, because he is so graceful, yes. ]

[Kumajirou grins at that. 10-point landing!♥

Canada, however, grunts as he's jolted awake by a foot in his gut.]

[ iceland picks himself up and checks to see who he tripped over. he looks down at canada rather apathetically. ]

Oh. It was you.

Are you okay.

[maple_syrup_can]

[Iceland?! Why so cold?. . . *sob* Canada knows.]

Ic-Iceland. I'm so sorry- [He scurries to his feet, adjusting his glasses.]

I'll be okay. [It'll leave a mark.] H-how about you?

perma- actionnn

[volcanisms]

I'm fine. [ waves a hand as if to dismiss the subject. that red mark on his forehead can be easily hidden by his bangs. ]

Okay. Well. I'll be going now. Sorry.

[ he's already backing up, preparing to turn tail and leave. ]

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah! Please, wait-! [Canada reaches out to take Iceland's arm. He winces a bit to himself at being so forward, but he has to do this.]

I'm sorry, but I- I really need to talk to you. [Deeeeeep breath] About the last time we spoke.

[volcanisms]

[ he flinches when canada reaches forward. nnnngh physical contact, do not want. but he does stop backing away, at least. ]

No, you really don't.

[maple_syrup_can]

[Having his attention, Canada lets his arm go.]

[And that face Iceland is making confirms that he does. But oh, it's hard! (Especially when he's frowning like that!) He'll do it quickly. Like taking off a band-aid.]

Y-yes, I do. Please. I was under some sort of drug at that time. It doesn't totally excuse me from what I did, but I hope - please? - that you can forgive my complete lack of tact and sensitivity towards you?

[Out of breath from talking so quickly, he looks at Iceland hopefully. The last thing he wants is to be at odds with one of the few people that knows him.]

[volcanisms]

So that's why you were being weird... I don't know, you sounded pretty sincere.

[ he shrugs. ]

I'll think about it, I guess.

[maple_syrup_can]

[Damn. It was true - the drug seemed to have just uninhibited him, so what he'd done and said was probably what he really felt on some level... There's nothing he can say against that, except that he regretted being so blunt and insensitive.]

Yes, I was completely out of line, and you were honestly trying to help me. I'm very sorry.

So then... I'll just leave you to think about it then. But please let me know what you decide?

[volcanisms]

[ exasperated siiigh.] Sure, whatever.

...You shouldn't fall asleep in public, you know.

[maple_syrup_can]

[Urk. He knows that, thanks. But- that's just Iceland giving advice. Nothing bad to say about that, really.
Canada turns on a pleasant, sincere smile.]

Yes, I'm very sorry. I couldn't help it, but I'll be more careful in the future.

[volcanisms]

Yeah, you should be.

[ nnnnno of course he isn't feeling guilty or anything for basically kicking canada in the stomach... ]

But uh, I have to go now. So... bye.

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah. Bye then, and thanks again...

[Canada waves hesitantly, not sure what to make of that. Iceland's such an odd guy, but... really good deep down, eh?]
