[PRIVATE TO FRANCE][It's been a little more than two weeks since England moved out. He's run out of things to clean and fix up in the house. He... supposes it's about time to let his business partner help ( Read more... )

[The feed turns on as America is running a hand back through his hair, looking a little flustered. The grin comes on after a second, though, wide and enthusiastic as ever.]

Yeah! Why wouldn't it be?

officerofspade October 20 2011, 01:10:44 UTC

I never said it wouldn't! I just wanted to say...

... I might not be making it. Very busy, you know...

justice_burger October 20 2011, 01:24:15 UTC

...no? [There is a pause, a little more uncomfortable than is normal with him, then he leans back.]

Oh, come ON! You always do this with my parties...

officerofspade October 20 2011, 01:31:55 UTC

W-well, I moved, and I've been cleaning this place up for the tea shop... I'm... handling inventory right now, while Francis is taking care of the decoration... it's... a lot of work...

[He's trying hard to casually avert to direct contact once again, always seeming to breeze his gaze just barely to the side, to something else in the room, to somewhere else on the watch...]

justice_burger October 20 2011, 01:59:58 UTC

...England. There will be free booze. You know you can't resist.

officerofspade October 20 2011, 02:03:14 UTC

... I think I actually can this time, Alfred.

[Aaaaaand annoyance. He huffs.]

I can just as easily have something to drink up here, on my own. I'm sure I will manage.

justice_burger October 20 2011, 02:10:51 UTC

[There is another pause, as America looks incredulous.]

Dude. What's your problem? You practically begged me to invite you, and now you're ditching?

officerofspade October 20 2011, 02:23:35 UTC

The problem is, as I said, that I'm very busy!

... and I don't remember 'begging'...!

justice_burger October 20 2011, 02:39:58 UTC

Yeah, well I don't buy it.

We were at the bar, and you said I just HAD to invite you. So I did, and I was gonna go to your tea place in return. Not to drink any, because ew, but don't you remember that? Geez, memory like a sieve...

officerofspade October 20 2011, 02:47:42 UTC

Well apparently I wasn't acting my 'best' at that point.

Fine, you hardly need to feel burdened to visit anymore. I won't be going to the party.

justice_burger October 20 2011, 02:58:07 UTC

...what does that mean?

officerofspade October 20 2011, 03:01:43 UTC

Which part, the fact I was drunk and being an idiot, or the fact that I'm wishing to have some space to myself?!

justice_burger October 20 2011, 03:07:05 UTC

How is it idiotic to agree to come to my party?! I'm going to hold you to it, you know. Besides, we ALL know you and "space", it never does anything but get you in a fouler mood and tick off everyone else.

officerofspade October 20 2011, 03:30:18 UTC

[He furrows his brow, ready for an angry retort, the start to an argument - any pattern he's used to.]

BECAUSE, you git, I...!

...

[... but he hardly has the strength or vigor.]

...... because I've...

... [as he drops his face into one palm.] Becaues I've done something... incredibly stupid...

... I've hurt Theta...

justice_burger October 20 2011, 03:55:22 UTC

You- [He squints slightly, and looks at his face.]

...you never admit to that unless you absolutely have to.

...is she alright?

And why are you taking it out on me, for that matter?

officerofspade October 20 2011, 04:02:41 UTC

Because! I'm fucking holed up in here for it because I don't want to see her, nor do I particularly look forward to facing the rest of the world! I wanted my space but apparently it's a TERRIBLE idea!

... it's... a long story...
