[Canada peers hopefully into the Guide. (No, those are not tears in his eyes. Honest.)]

There-- there really are other countries on the Sif? See- I knew that... we'd be okay... and the Earth is okay... [(No, he's not sniffing.)]

Um, I'm so glad. Really. So glad-!

[Have an embarrassed and pleased smile in return. (pfff you could...you'll just embarrass him more)]

It really is good to see you here, safe. [He'd like to see America too, but he'd eat his shoe before admitting it.]

As long as I have second round.

[ACTION!]

[maple_syrup_can]

[At the veeeerrrry end. All that 'I thought you were dead and I'd never see you again but you're okay but now you have to leave again' emotion will come out ♥]

[Oh, somehow Canada is sure that England had enough of America over the Guide, but he's also pretty sure that they'll cross paths before the week is done, no matter what each of them says (or doesn't say).]

A-all right. Thank you.
I'm so relieved too. Not knowing what had happened to everyone else...

[Blushing from how emotional he's getting, he takes his seat. Motioning for a server he orders two of his favourite ale, the one John recommended to him (a light sweet ale. He hopes you like it.)]

But, at least we are not alone! [Even being with France would be better than having no one at all, right? (Even if you'd never admit it XD)]

[After getting a message, John eventually makes it to the pub and looks around for Canada.]

Re: [ACTION!] Canada>England>John ?

[maple_syrup_can]

Oh!

[Consider yourself spotted, John! As his eyes sweep towards them Canada gives a bit of a wave, then looks back to England.]

Speaking of, please allow me to introduce you to someone who has been a tremendous help to me here...

[Standing as John comes closer, he beams happily at him.]

Th-thank you so much for coming! It's very kind of you. Please allow me to introduce you.
John, this is my father England. England, my friend Doctor John Watson.

[ACTION!] lkadhfg sorry for being late.

[kadeir_teyrnon]

[Don't jinx him, Canada. :|]

Mm. [It's good to not be alone, but France? Really? :|||]

[England might have choked at "my father". He's not used to it, after all. He actually does choke when Canada introduces his friend.]

[ACTION!]

[John isn't sure what to expect when meeting "his" country. Luckily he's become very good at just going along with whatever odd situation comes up.

He holds out his hand for England to shake.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ACTION!] ♥

[maple_syrup_can]

Sorry.
[Canada didn't mean to surprise you, England. But just starting out with 'father' is the most straight-forward way to explain it to regular people. (Because there is nothing odd about John's name. At all. He is who he is, right?)]

[He looks between them, smiling happily.]

Um, I've told John a little about you. Sorry. So I'm really glad that you get to meet.

[ACTION!]

[kadeir_teyrnon]

The pleasure is mine.

[England takes the proffered hand and gives it a firm shake, before releasing it. He unconsciously bites his lip to resist the urge to ask about Sherlock Holmes. Surely it is mere coincidence...?]

Re: [ACTION!]

[holmes_blogger]

[John takes a seat and smiles. He can see the question on England's face. He's used to it by now.]

Yes, I'm that Doctor John Watson, friend of Sherlock Holmes. Depending on where you're from though, you may be surprised to find out we're from the year 2010.

Re: [ACTION!]

[maple_syrup_can]

[See? It's all good! Wonderful!
Canada orders a drink for John while he's talking to England.]

Re: [ACTION!]

[kadeir_teyrnon]

[That embarrassing squeak is your imagination. 8|]

Doctor Watson? You and Holmes solve cases?

[He does his best to resist the urge to bounce around like a giddy schoolgirl and just manages to keep from hyperventilating.

John Watson. Oh God.]

I-It's quite the honour to meet you.

Re: [ACTION!]

[holmes_blogger]

Thanks, but I feel like I should be saying that to you.

And yes, we do solve cases, occasionally. Less often than Sherlock would like since we got here.

Re: [ACTION!]

[maple_syrup_can]

[... England, did you just squeek?
Couldn't be.
But you sure are acting... really excited, for you. And you know about them already?]

[He nods at that last.]

I'm so glad that you do, though!
John and Sherlock a-and Holmes have really helped me out so much!

Ah- sorry. That is to say, Sherlock from 2010, and Holmes from the late 1800s. Just a bit of a convention, too keep them straight...

Re: [ACTION!] 1/2

[kadeir_teyrnon]

No, no. Truly, the honour is mine!

Re: [ACTION!] 2/2

[kadeir_teyrnon]

[Wait, wait, wait. There are two Sherlock Holmes? Can you see his brain breaking?]

There are two.

[Staring at you, Canada. You better not be pulling his leg, or there will be hell to pay.]

Two.

Re: [ACTION!]

[holmes_blogger]

[John can't help but be amused at how surreal this conversation is.]

Yes, there are two of them on board. Canada shares rooms with Holmes, actually.
