[ The following note is left on the kitchen table for Japan to read this morning: ]

Comments

[pinkplumblossom]

[Passes Hungary on the street as she's walking the doggy~]

"Oh! Miss Hungary. Hello."

[itdidntgrow]

Miss Taiwan! It's good to see you. [ Kneeling to pet the dog. ]

[pinkplumblossom]

[Smiles down at the two of them.]

"Isn't she cute? Her name is Formosa."

[The puppy is a little spitfire, and she happily yips and excitedly paws at Hungary. Taiwan tries to hold her back so she doesn't mess up her fellow nation's clothes~]

[itdidntgrow]

[ But Hungary has always been something of a tomboy, no matter how proper she appears as an adult. She doesn't mind the pawing at all, just scratches the puppy's ears for a moment before standing again, running her hands down her skirt. ]

She's' very cute.

[pinkplumblossom]

"Thanks! Netherlands got her for me."

[Smiles and blushes just a little despite herself.]

[itdidntgrow]

... That's right, you're a former colony of his, aren't you.

[pinkplumblossom]

"Yeah... a really long time ago."

[Gives a weird sort of sidelong glance, staring just past Hungary's face as the puppy scampers around her feet.]

[itdidntgrow]

[ Of course, her first reaction is to wonder if something is behind her; she turns her head slightly and then looks back at Taiwan. ] I'm sorry. Is it a sensitive topic?

[pinkplumblossom]

"...Huh? O-oh! No! Not really..."

[Blushes again, glancing away.]

"He's... been very nice to me since I've been here."

[itdidntgrow]

[ Maybe there's a twitch of a knowing smile. ] I'm glad to hear that.

[pinkplumblossom]

[Waves her hands around like a confused schoolgirl in love.]

"It's not like that! Really! I've always only loved Kiku-niisan..."

[itdidntgrow]

... You mean... Mr. Japan?

[pinkplumblossom]

[Just... nods.]

[itdidntgrow]

I see. I hope things go well between you two.

[pinkplumblossom]

I hope so too.
