[A] - (The streets of Mayfield)

[It's a ridiculous sight, really. Not as if Holland would care how he appears to anybody but himself but he's--

He's walking his bunny.

The small animal has a bright orange harness on, there is a leash attached, and he's slowly walking down the sidewalk as Poffertje investigates various plants, cracks in the sidewalk,

C, action!

( ( Spain is paying Netherlands a visit today! It's not because he feels a little guilty about how Toro ruined a good portion of Netherlands' garden awhile back. No! He's just curious to see if anything's been done since then. . .

When he sees Netherlands, he makes his away across the lawn and hovers over him. ) )

Ay, are you dead?

[gezellighe]

[That neutral expression on his face grows darker, and he just gives Spain a look. That should be answer enough.]

[pasodoble]

( ( Silence is never a sufficient answer with Spain. ) )

You look like you're going to be sick.

[gezellighe]

[He sits up and looks for Poffertje. He's not going to tell Spain his problems.]

I saw you, that's why.

[pasodoble]

You make it sound like I gave you the Plague. ( ( Spain plops himself down on the grass between Netherlands and Poffertje. ) ) C'mon, Holanda, talk to boss. ¿Qué pasa?

[gezellighe]

[He wasn't about to show anybody he's upset, let alone Spanje. Reaching around Spain for his bunny. . . ]

My flowers are still ruined.

[pasodoble]

( ( PICKING UP POFFERTJE and keeping him to himself for a bit. Buhyoo, what a cute little bunny so cute so cute. ) )

I said I was sorry!

[gezellighe]

[Staring. . . staring at Spain holding his bunny. . . Spain holding his bunny but he can't just take Poffertje away, he'll be scared. . . damn you, Spanje. ]

Doesn't make them grow again.

[pasodoble]

I know that.

( ( Scratching the bunny's ears. Hmm, this is awkward, isn't it? ) )

Are you mad at Canada still?

[gezellighe]

None of your business.

[. . . at least Poffertje looks like he's enjoying this. Maybe a little too much, traitor. . . ]

And anyway, why would I be.

[pasodoble]

You're not mad about last time?

( ( WHEW, WHAT A RELIEF ) )

[gezellighe]

[Glaring. . .]

I'm not mad at Canada.

[Spain is just on his list forever.]

[pasodoble]

Good! ( ( Patting Holland on the back. Hard. ) ) She's a good woman, Holanda, make sure to treat her well, just like I taught you.

[gezellighe]

You never taught me anything.

[Shifting a little uncomfortably at that pat. . .]

. . . and I'm still mad at you.

[pasodoble]

You're always mad at me. ( ( Spoken very simply, very honestly, and with the most cheerful smile. See how much he cares? ) ) But you were already unhappy before I got here, no?

[gezellighe]

[Gritting his teeth. . .Spain, you don't get an answer to that. He half-heartedly reaches out and pets his bunny.]
