[ How have you been lately, Maaayfieeeeeeld?... Okay, with that out of the way- if you're looking for Japan, recently he could be found at the following places; ]

A. [ In the park! Japan can be found with the cute little black and white cat that Hong Kong gave him as a present! One who still didn't get a name. You may stumble upon him when he's

[beamiracle]

[Oh it's a kitty. And a Japan running after it.]

Japan-san...?

A

[politerudeness]

Greetings, Lion-san... aah, it is truly you-- [ was going to stop to bow but then realized that his cat is still running... ] W-wait, Kitty-kun, please stop!

[beamiracle]

[Quickly scoops up the cat as it runs past.]

There we are. Is this cat yours? Ah...[Lion tries to get a better grip as the cat struggles.] He looks like he's in a hurry.

[politerudeness]

Thank you very much... I truly appreciate it. [ walks over towards Lion and spreads his arms out a bit, as if to say "hand him over to me" ] Perhaps he still isn't used to my presence.

[beamiracle]

[Hands the cat over.] Yes, cats seem to be rather selective about people, don't they? Maybe he just needs to be given time.

[politerudeness]

That may be the case. ...Lion-san, could I request your assistance in a certain matter, perhaps?

[beamiracle]

Of course. What would that be?

[politerudeness]

I am experiencing... a certain amount of difficulty with finding a name for this one. For now, I simply call him Kitty-kun, but I cannot keep this up forever.

[beamiracle]

A name?

[For some reason, Lion wants to suggest "Diana", but Japan did mention the cat was male, so...]

[politerudeness]

If Lion-san could perhaps help me with this... I would be quite grateful. Of course, it isn't necessary.

[beamiracle]

No, no, I'd be happy to help. I've never had the chance to name a pet, so it should be fun.

[politerudeness]

Thank you very much. Lion-san is so polite... I am quite proud.

[beamiracle]

Ahaha, thank you. I try my best.

Perhaps I could take a look at him, if you don't mind? That might give me some ideas for a name.

[politerudeness]

Of course. [ he walks up just a bit closer to Lion, making sure not to invade any personal space, holding the cat in his arms carefully. ]

[beamiracle]

[Leans forward just a little to take a closer look at the cat.]

Hmm...

[politerudeness]

[ While the cat himself stares up curiously at Lion. Japan waits politely in silence. ]
