[ The feed clicks on, and there's a woman standing there, her gaze cast down towards the device. She's walking, and a few familiar locations from Discedo can be seen - the spires of the church behind her, the graveyard. She stops just shy of the park, and settles the device down for a second, looking up at her surroundings

E-EH--?! [ The young nation stares in surprise. Did she say Marianne Bonnefoy???

...Yeah, please excuse him while his brain breaks. ]

[madamefatale]

[ She's puzzled by his confusion, her lips prusing into a frown. ]

Do you not know where you are either, mon petit?

[ Video ]

[andmemorize]

[ Give him a moment this is still processing.

Okay, he's good. Maybe. ]

No, I know where I am I just--You have Monsieur France's last name, so I was surprised. Ahh...but perhaps it is only a coincidence...

[madamefatale]

C'est bon, at least one of us does. [ She frowns for a moment. ]

Monsieur France? A-ah, you mean Madame France, pas vous?

[ He shakes his head. ]

It would be rude to call Papa Madame.

[ Video ]

[madamefatale]

Papa? [ Frown. ]

Ahhh, who if I might ask, are you, mon petit?

[ Video ]

[andmemorize]

Ah--Formally, I am the Province of Quebec. You may call me Canada or Matthew, though.

[ Video ]

[madamefatale]

[ It's starting to come together. Slowly. ]

Cana...da? [ He's ...not supposed to be a he, she doesn't think. She blinks into the video. ]

A-ah, and your...papa, he is France, no?

[ Video ]

[andmemorize]

[ He nods, smiling. ]

Oui, Monsieur France took care of me for a long time. [ The smile falters just a bit, as he switches back to calling France 'Monsieur'. He still...doesn't know how to address France here. Formally and detached--As England had wanted back home--or... ]

[ She frowns. ]

Little one- ah, Mattieu, is -- there a female version of you, somewhere, here? [ Because at least Canada is someone she knows who isn't Rosemary. ] I think... there is something wrong here. Ah, you see, where I am from, I am France. La République Français.

[ Oh, he looks so young. Much younger than the Canada she remembers. ]

[ Video ]

[andmemorize]

I am sorry, Madame, but...I have not seen any female versions of myself. [ He looks kind of uncomfortable saying that. Really, it's just an awkward topic in general.

Have a bit of staring. ]

Ah...so you are like Miss England? [ So weird. He's still not 100% sure Rosemary is England but, you know. He'll go with it. ]

[ Video ]

[madamefatale]

[ She's going to drop that, then, it is rather awkward from her point of view as well. ]

Ah - yes! Like Angleterre. Or - hm, Miss England I suppose you would know her.
