[On the whole, Canada didn't sleep a whole lot. Never had, likely never would. A few hours here and there were refreshing, but not absolutely necessary, in any longer chunks. So waking up to find his clock read some ungodly hour of the morning wasn't unusual. It was the vivid, horrid dream that had awoken him that was unusual. It wasn't any of the

[Back in her usual green attire with her apron on, Hungary wanders downstairs with the feeling of humiliation in herself for how she had been acting the past few days as well. She yelled at Austria and he had been going around, flirting with everyone and possibly far worse.

So why does it hurt... Doesn't that make her a hypocrite?

Sighing, she wanders downstairs and almost runs in to Canada on her way, stopping quickly before hitting him.] Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry...I almost didn't see you there for a moment.

[usqueadmare]

Hungary! [He's got his hands out to steady her, out of reflex, but he quickly drops them.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[edes_virag]

[Blinks and holds out her hands to touch his gently before he drops them. Once he does, she pulls hers back as well.]

It's okay! It was my fault, actually. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.

[usqueadmare]

Neither was I. I'm sorry, it's all my fault.

You're okay, right?

[edes_virag]

It's safe to say we both are then, deal?

Mm? Oh, y-yeah I'm alright. [Rubs the back of her neck before glancing up at him.] And you? It's been a rather odd couple of days.

[usqueadmare]

Yeah... [He should just leave it at that. He doesn't remember being awful to her. He doesn't have to bring it up to her. But... maybe that's what he needs, so he talks away, voice just an ashamed whisper.]

I think I screwed up everything.

[edes_virag]

[Watches him for a moment and takes his hand again, tugging him with her to one of the warmer spots near the living room fire place.]

What do you mean you think you screwed up everything? [Asks as she takes a seat on the sofa, tugging him with gently.]

[usqueadmare]

[He's hesitant -- mostly because he needs to get to France -- but he moves to sit close next to her, anyway. The warmth of her presence and the recently stoked fireplace will be welcomed. He doesn't let go of her hand as he speaks.]

I was... I've been... I made America look like a nice guy, some of the things I've said. And to Nations I've known for centuries. They'll never forgive me.

[edes_virag]

[Thinks quietly only that before glancing back up at him with a small smile.]

Everyone was acting strange. They won't hold it against you because then we'd have to be held for all our faults. Plus, we've all forgive one another at some point, how else can we try and obtain world peace without forgiveness, anyways.

[Part of her's saying it for herself, too. She has to remember that Austria's allowed to do what makes him happiest with...whoever really does make him the happiest. Which- doesn't seem to be her.] So, don't tear apart your mind with regret and worry because no matter what- we'll still love you.

[usqueadmare]

I hope you're right. [Letting out a shakey, tense breath, he sinks lower on the couch, turning his head to press his face to her shoulder. Please don't tell if you catch him crying. He's not used to this.]

But I was so horrible, Elizaveta. I don't even know why I said the things I did to Netherlands. And France... oh, dieu, France...

[edes_virag]

I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think... Again, everyone was acting so strange and I'm sure they won't hold it against you.

[Glances at his face as he presses his face to her shoulder, her hand coming up gently to brush her fingertips across his cheek before she nestles her head gently against his.]

I'm certain they'll forgive you.

[usqueadmare]

They might, but... I'm so scared they won't. I don't know what to do if they don't forgive me.

[edes_virag]

Don't think about the what if's. You'll drive yourself insane if you do.

Just remain positive. You at least owe that much to yourself, Matthew.

[usqueadmare]

It's hard to be positive when you know what you've done.

[edes_virag]

Then that's being selfish. The others will forgive you but will you forgive yourself in the end?

That's the main thing you have to do.

[usqueadmare]

I was so horrible. I've never behaved like that in my life.
