02/ 神様へ．．．

[nipponpon]

It is approaching winter; the leaves have started to change colour and fall.

I may have done something very foolish... Am I free tomorrow?

Kami-sama, please forgive me...

Kankoku-san has arrived, there is no peace of mind for me...

I look forward to the cherry blossom season. A hanami picnic with UK-san and Italia-san has been arranged. It

HEY JAPAN!! HEY! ARE YOU THERE!?

[nipponpon]

P..Prussia-san...!
You are slightly early...

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

Does that mean you're not ready for me yet!?

[nipponpon]

N..no, please, just a moment.

*gives the room a cursory glance, before brushing himself off and opening the sliding door fully*

Douzo... please leave your shoes outside...

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

I've heard about this.

*Finds it so bizarre but amusing. Kneels down to unlace his boots, one boot at a time, before leaving them at the door. Leaves them neatly placed side by side, military fashion.*

It's very gracious of you to invite me in Japan! As well as inviting me to stay for as long as I want!!

[nipponpon]

As long as you want?! When did I...

[nipponpon]

Of course, Prussia-san... It would be rude, otherwise, to turn you out so far away from home.

Would you like some tea first, Prussia-san, and do you need to leave your jacket anywhere?

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

Tea? Ah yes, you like to drink tea in this part of the world! UK drinks tea doesn't he? Sure, I'll have some!

*Seems to lack an indoor voice. Slips off his uniform jacket and folds it over the lower part of his arm.*

Yes to that too. Where can I put it?

[nipponpon]

*winces a little at the volume of his voice, but reaches out a hand, offering to take his jacket*

I will take your it to the cloakroom momentarily, if you wish. Please, follow me; the tea room is this way...

*gestures towards a screen door, to a room overlooking the garden*

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

*Relieves the jacket into Japan's care, as well as his gloves. Eyes wander all around the interior. Is either taking in the unique Asian flavor or scoping it out for weaknesses to use later on. Follows Japan to the tea room of course.*

How interesting! How old are you again?

*Runs his digits over the door frame as if rubbing the wood would reveal a date.*

[nipponpon]

My age... is a secret.
Please wait here for a moment.

* Leaves the room with Prussia's jacket, secretly glad that he generally keeps everything immaculate and simple.

Upon returning he is carrying a teapot filled with green tea. He sets it down on a low table in the middle of the room and pours it out into two steaming cups*

The tea...

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

*Stares at what he previously thought was an odd chair or foot rest... then back up at Japan as if the other is a bit batty.*

Hey! Your table is really low, you know! I mean, you're small too, but not that small!

*Doesn't quite know how to.. sit at it.*

[nipponpon]

*looks up hopelessly at him*

Traditionally, you kneel, like so...

*places the teapot down on the table and kneels, sitting with his feet under him and his hands folded in his lap*

However, if this is too uncomfortable, you may cross your legs and sit at ease... do you never do this?

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

*Watches him. Tries that. Really uncomfortable. Crosses his legs instead.*

In Prussia and in other parts of Europe, we use chairs. Surely you know what that is!

[nipponpon]

*passes him the tea, lifting the long sleeve of his kimono as he reaches across the table*

Of course we have chairs and tables... however, the tea room is very traditional. Would you prefer I set up a more westernized table setting for you?

Though, I was under the impression you wanted to experience Japanese culture....

[ooc: sorry; i've been really slow... and it's 3am again.. 8am start tomorrow..]

[pervary_p_a_w_s]

*Picks up the tea cup in one hand. Stares down into it.*

I do!! But you'll have to explain it to me! There is a lot here I have only heard of, and much more that I see now that I have never heard of!

(OOC: It's fine.)
