[Ukraine, Roshian is showing up at your house.]

Comments

[motheringnation]

[Opens the door.]

Oh Hello!

[silno_pyanstvo]

[She doesn't look too good. She hasn't slept much for a few days, and it shows.]

Hello.

[motheringnation]

Please come in.

[Oh yes she notices. Just ushering you inside now and not going to take no for an answer.]

Come sit down. I have some Borscht on, have some.

[silno_pyanstvo]

Спасибо.

[She had been intending to come inside anyway. And not leave for a few days.]

[motheringnation]

[And she'll just get you to sit down and push a hot cup of tea in front of you.]

What brings you here?

[silno_pyanstvo]

[Tea is nice.]

You are having room for Roshian to stay at your house?

[motheringnation]

Oh...Yes. If you would like to stay here.

[Looks a little startled at first but nods as she passes over a bowl with some Borscht in it.]

Of course you can stay here sister.

[silno_pyanstvo]

... Спасибо.

[That's twice now, twice in as many minutes that she's thanked Ukraine.]

[motheringnation]

[A new record! And she'll sit down across the table from Roshian and pick up the knitting she had been doing before she heard the knock on the door.]

[silno_pyanstvo]

[She doesn't want to talk, doesn't want to tell Ukraine (Ukraine, not some human, this is another nation) how she messed up, how she let herself do something foolish.

So she just sits and stares down at the soup.]

[motheringnation]

[Knit, knit. She's been knitting for a long time so she's very fast with her work. She glances up at Roshian.]

What happened?

[Because she has been an older sibling for far too long to not be able to tell when something is wrong. Also you sulk like brother does.]

[silno_pyanstvo]

[Brother probably never has had this exact problem...

She switches into Russian]

It's foolish to become too attached to anyone here.

[motheringnation]

[Switches into Russian as well.]

Really. Do you think so?

[She knits steadily, her tone and voice calm.]

[silno_pyanstvo]

It's too much work.

[Too much work and no reward.]

[motheringnation]

You could say that about any relationship.

[silno_pyanstvo]

[She just looks down again. Sister, you have no idea what Roshian's gotten herself into.]
