In my travels, I have encountered many frightening things. I fought my way out of the Netherworld and faced the Queen of the Dead. I did battle with the armies of Ragnanival and fought their commander, a man worth dozens of me in size. I defeated a dragon with little more than blind luck and hope

Is not doing very good job of making children for Motherland, comrade Titania.

[pooka_prince]

I am glad one of us can find humor in the situation.

[kol_shevik]

нет, comrade! Population is not joke at all! Do not want a repeat of 1937. Must have plenty of children, or boss will be upset. Besides, Russia likes having big family around.

[pooka_prince]

Children are not something to be taken lightly, Russia. They are a great commitment, not a statistic. Forcing your citizens to breed is not the work of a fair ruler.

[kol_shevik]

Listen, comrade Titania! Russia has already said that Russia is not supposed to talk about Comrade Stalin-- Ah, but I think is subject that you should not try to lecture, Да? Motherland has more experience being Mother than little dog.

[pooka_prince]

I shall not pretend that I am more than a young prince, and that I've no experience with the throne. Yet I have watched my father's reign since I was a boy, and since my curse I have seen what becomes of the ruler who fails to heed the complaints of his people.

[kol_shevik]

Russia's boss is will of the people. I am sure little Anya has told you about Revolution, Да? Russia does not control children.

[pooka_prince]

No one man speaks for all the people, Russia. If your ruler has told you otherwise, he is wrong.

[It's possible Russia may not have heard you

seeing as he's got his hands over his ears and is humming the Soviet Anthem loudly.]

[pooka_prince]

[just gives him a flat stare.

it is the stare of every disapproving third-grade teacher you have ever had.]

[kol_shevik]

[Don't gimme that look

i just wasn't good at big words okay

i got better

and fuck those times tables man. fuck 'em.

Russia stops humming and starts twiddling with his scarf instead.]

...Can we just not talk about boss, окей?

[pooka_prince]

How long do you wish to run from your problems, Russia?

[kol_shevik]

How long does little dog think he can fix them?

[pooka_prince]

You would rather avoid your problems than face them head-on? I wish you luck in your confrontation with America, then.

[kol_shevik]

...You have been speaking to him, comrade?

[pooka_prince]

We have not spoken, no. Should he wish to, however, I shall give him the full of my attention, as I have done for you.
