✙ XIV ✙ [Action]
[To anyone out walking around the train station, you will run into a very tired but satisfied Nation. He's standing outside his finally finished home, smiling up at it with an affection normally reserved for his sister, his girlfriend, and his guns... not in any particular order

Vash, Vash! Your house is so pretty! It looks just like a house in Switzerland!
Reply
Feliciano, it's nice to see you. Thank you for saying so. That was the hope.
[Vash looks back towards the house, smiling a little more.]
Reply
It's nice to see you, too, Vash! [He comes to a halt in front of Vash again and grins at him, hands crossed behind his head.] You've worked very hard! You should celebrate with a housewarming party!
Reply
A housewarming party? You think so?
[A bunch of people coming into his new home, tracking dirt everywhere and probably ending the evening by getting roaring drunk-it says a lot about how far Vash has come since he arrived here that he’s actually not entirely against the idea.]
Reply
Of course you should have one, it can't be a real new home without a housewarming party! It'll be fun! We can dance and laugh and talk all night long. It would be nice having all your friends around you at once, don't you think so?
Reply
[Vash glances at the other country with a small smile.]
...If I did have a party, not saying I am, but... would you help me prepare? With the cooking and such, I mean.
Reply
Of course! I'd love to! [Excuse him while he drifts off into food land.] I love pasta and tiramisu and biscotti and amaretti and...
[He goes quiet, suddenly remembering the small but important detail that it isn't his party he's planning. He smiles sweetly at Switzerland.] But we're going to make something you like, too!
Reply
Those all sound wonderful. I'm good with anything [as long as it's free] and your cooking is quite good, Italy.
[Pause.]
You really think a housewarming party is a good idea? I wonder if anyone would show up...
Reply
Although... if there aren't many guests, that means more food for the ones who come! But I'm sure people will come. I could invite Germany and my brother... and you should invite many pretty girls! [He giggles again.]
[There is still a smile on his face, but Feliciano's tone of voice turns earnest.] You're a very nice person, Vash. I think your friends would like to spend time with you.
Reply
[Vash is touched beyond words by Feliciano's comment. To hear it from someone who knows him, who has known him for longer than the months spent here... No. Those are not tears. The sun was in his eyes. Obviously.]
...Thank you, Feliciano. I think a party is a must. This city can get too gloomy at times... maybe it would do us all good to be reminded that there is still life here.
Reply
Ve? [Oh no, now he has missed part of Vash's answer, being all busy resisting the urge to cuddle. He nods and beams, that's always a good idea.] Yeah, it's really lively here! All kinds of nice people and no war!
Reply
Yes. The lack of war is... definitely a plus. Even if it means my guns don't get much of a workout.
[Not that it matters. His Carbine is as perfect as the day he got her all those decades ago.]
...And there's no lawn for you to streak through.
[He glances at his neighbor with what might be the slightest hint of a grin, what?]
Reply
His eyes sparkle with mischief as he hums mock thoughtfully.] But you've got a garden now... Are you sure you don't want me to streak through it? For old times' sake? [Another giggle escapes him.]
Reply
[Vash's grin widens a little more, despite his attempt to look stern.]
Then I might really have to shoot you again, Feliciano, and I get the feeling that might ruin our friendship a bit.
Reply
"Hahaha, you shooting at me, that's so funny, Vash!" He smiles sweetly, full of trust. "Switzerland wouldn't shoot me anymore! You're my friend!"
Reply
...No. I wouldn't shoot at you. But just because I'm trying to break the habit.
