A; outside 1333 Benny Road
[Lithuania makes a habit of checking the mail before work, so when it arrives he's already dressed to leave, flipping through letters while he finishes eating a bagel. The letter addressed to him doesn't bring any immediate worries--you get things back after events, right? Though he's not sure what could show up in an

A!

[Koharu had been walking to school that morning, happy as could be, like every drone, when she stopped in her steps and shook her head. Her head whipped around and she remembered where she was. She calmed for a moment and then kept on her way, because not going to school would get her punished--

and that way just happened to take her past Lithuania, who appeared to be in pain]

L-Lithuania? Are you alright? [She rushed up, putting a hand out hesitantly but not yet touching]

[letunityblossom]

[Luck wasn't on his side today, was it? He forced a smile, even as his hand rested on the mailbox. The scar had settled into dull aching for the moment.]

I'm fine, Miss Koharu. Ah, I haven't seen you in--

[He barely managed to keep from crying out, gritting his teeth instead, as another scar tore into his back.]

...How are you?

[willbeurweapon]

[Her concern didn't fade, she knew the look of hiding one's pain] I-I'm alright, I think...I was droned but...You don't look well.

[letunityblossom]

You missed--an event. I'll be fine, Miss Koharu, really.

[willbeurweapon]

What happened? Are--You don't seem alright!

[letunityblossom]

Really, I'm--

[This time he does yelp, because two more come back at once. Why does this have to be dragged out? Then again, he'd probably pass out if he got every one of them at once.]

[willbeurweapon]

What's happening? [She touched his shoulder then, gently, uncertain of what to do or how to help]

[letunityblossom]

It's just--something the town's giving back. Don't worry.

[willbeurweapon]

It's impossible for me not to worry, you look like you're in terrible pain. Y-You should sit down.

[letunityblossom]

Y-yes, I probably should. But really, I don't want to keep you from anything.

[He starts the walk to the house, somewhat shakily. And there's another new-old scar, but at least he's up to the 1900s now.]

[willbeurweapon]

[She steps in to his side, holding his arm] I can afford to be late, I am sure my droned self went to school every day. Do you need anything?

[letunityblossom]

[His smile is incredibly thin, even as he attempts it.]

R-really, don't worry, once I'm inside I can just wait for it to stop and after a little while it'll be okay...

[willbeurweapon]

I insist. [Voice is firm; she isn't backing down]

Would some tea help? I can make that...

[letunityblossom]

[Well, he can only argue so much in this state.]

Alright, alright, tea would be-- [He makes a strangled noise--oh, he remembers that one, that one was particularly bad.]

[willbeurweapon]

[Her hands flutter nervously as she watches and she just sits him down and rushes to the kitchen. Water has never taken so long to boil]

[letunityblossom]

[Luckily, she misses everything up to World War II while she's waiting. He's just going to be laying on the couch forever kthx.]
