[This is Vash's "I can't believe I'm doing this" face. That's right Ruby City, he's on a mission... sort of.]

...

...

...

I was told by Iceland to ask for a pink pony named Pinkie Pie about helping with food for a party.

[He says that in a rush and then snaps the communicator shut. Good Lord, he just actually said that sentence. Ugh.]

What on Earth...

[neutralbyforce]

[Okay, first of all? Vash had no idea Roderich was in Ruby City. Second? This would be the time for Austria to reveal himself. There is much mental head smashing against walls.]

...[Twitch.]

...Roderich. What are you doing here?

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

[Of course it would be. What better time for him to embarrass Switzerland?]

I have been here for quite some time, Vash. I have simply been keeping to myself.

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

[Oh, you're just asking for it, friend. If he wasn't so busy being embarrassed as hell, Vash would be angry here.]

Of course you have. [He mutters something under his breath that sounds suspiciously like a stream of German curse words.]

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

[Good thing he's so embarrassed, then.]

Have you been here long? Is your sister here as well? [He'll be polite and ignore that... For now.]

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

[For now, at least.]

...A month and a half. Lili-- Liechtenstein is here as well. [Vash corrects himself, not willing to use his sister's personal name with Austria.] Yourself?

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

Hm... I was busy longer than I thought... [Because he totally doesn't know it anyway.]

Ah, I have been here for a few months now.

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

Typical. You never were good at keeping track of time. [Still, Vash refuses to show any weakness around the other nation if he can help it.]

A few months. Hm. [Vash raises an eyebrow.] I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, given your propensity for getting yourself in deeper trouble than you can handle.

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

Hmph. It is not as if I was given the option to avoid being brought to this place.

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

[Vash has no reply to that, so he changes the subject.]

What were you working on that was so time and attention consuming, anyway?

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

Music, of course.

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

Of course.

[Aaaaaaand here comes the awkward silence that these two are so good at producing in each others company.]

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

[Mmmyep. Good to know they can manage to do this over distances, too.]

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

[Oh, they are pros at this. Man, even some crickets would be a relief...]

[Video]

[baroque_refined]

[They are the pros of all pros. Nothing could break this awkward silence, not even crickets.]

[Voice]

[edes_virag]

...

Will you two say something to one another already?!
