[ so Russia's wondering just why things seem different. it doesn't look like there's been a change, but. but. there's that feeling. just like many others here, he's starting to feel antsy. anxious. whatever you call it, it's not good and even when he speaks, his voice seems a bit .. off, and his usual, fake cheery tone is nowhere to be found. ]

It does feel rather foreboding outside.

[onewithkol]

You feel it too, da?

What do you think it means ..?

[silesiaback]

Oh, yes! It's quite a dramatic change in climate compared to what it was when I arrived.

Perhaps it's a simple change of seasons. If we are on a new continent, we can't expect the seasons to be identical. I do miss the summer warmth back at home.

[onewithkol]

Da, that is true. There are many things that are different here, but ..

But how could it happen so suddenly? I don't think seasons can change in a day's time.

[silesiaback]

Perhaps it's just today. We shouldn't automatically assume the worst!

[onewithkol]

Perhaps.

But I can't help but get the feeling that it isn't ..

[silesiaback]

Even so, we shouldn't lose spirit, Russia. After all, demoralization is the start of defeat!

Although, I'd never expect you to say you were cold...

[onewithkol]

You're right, Hungary. I hope that whatever it may be does pass and proves this feeling wrong.

Growing up in Russian Winter does little to help I'm afraid. The cold just doesn't seem to go away.

[silesiaback]

Truly? Winters never lasted too long in Hungary, so the cold was always a temporary inconvenience for us.

It isn't the sudden feeling of coolness that bothers me, but the restlessness. I can't help but feel like a war is brewing!

[onewithkol]

The cold has always helped me in times of war, but there has always been a price for it.

Da, I feel something very similar. I would hate to have to fight, even in this strange place.

It stopped that sneaky fiend France and Napoleon! I won't forgive him for what he did to Austria!

[silesiaback]

I'm sure no one wishes to fight. Well perhaps Prussia, but that isn't unusual.

[onewithkol]

Ah, yes I'd almost forgotten. It seems like such a long time ago, but I remember it did a number on my men as well.

Though, Prussia can certainly be called unusual.

[silesiaback]

Unusual, or a troublemaker! He's always seen so rowdy!

[onewithkol]

All the more reason for him to be kept under watch.

[silesiaback]

There's no need to worry! I'll be sure to keep him in line!
