[guess what, dear residents of Mitchell Road? there's another drone burning going on. that's right. another one. this time, however, the figure running down the street ablaze might just be the slightest bit more familiar than the last, if nothing else then by his sheer size alone

[Trudging down Mitchell Road in an attempt to clear his mind from a missing Saya and a droned Russia, Latvia was simply out on a walk around town. That is, until he Russia's drone.

A foreign knot ties itself in the pit of his stomach when he really notices that it's the bigger nation--and it snaps when he notices the strange woman and the scarf--that scarf his 'caretaker' never removed. Now, Latvia's just chasing the girl to make a grab for the scarf.]

С-СТОЙ! [Wait. Brain-to-language-to-mouth filter isn't working. Whoops.] S-Stop!

[spiritsmoking]

[honestly, the only reason she's paying attention to this kid is because he's chasing her, what the hell Latvia are you mental. though she does vaguely remember letting someone similar-looking out of a closer in Russia's house, once, and it's enough to at least ping familiarity.

but it's not about to stop her from continuing to chase down the drone and chuck as many vodka bottles at it as shamanly possible. which, with her long arms, is quite a few.]

FUCK OFF, BRAT! [I wouldn't try to get the scarf away from her if I were you.]

[bawlingforsoup]

[He may as well be mental. He's dating a tentacle monster, hurfr.

All at once he looks like he was slapped in the face for all of five seconds before he remembers he's supposed to be brave and strong and how else would he protect Saya if he doesn't grow a backbone so he makes another grab for the fabric.]

M-Make me! H-He didn't do a-anything wrong! P-Please! M-Mister Russia--

[spiritsmoking]

[kgdjhakjh okay yeah, that does indicate some mentalness!

he does indeed manage to snag it that time! ....but unfortunately, as soon as he refers to that thing as Russia, Kanna is turning abruptly on her heel to send a roundhouse kick at poor Latvia's face. h-have fun trying to dodge it, if at all possible?]

[bawlingforsoup]

[O-On the positive side he doesn't know about it yet!

It's a direct hit! There goes the battle ship--Okay, not really. He's actually just going to fall flat on his ass with a bloody nose, too shocked to even cover his face. O-Ow, man. That really hurt. Watch it turn into a nasty bruise in the morning.

He's not even sniffling or tearing up.]

[spiritsmoking]

[and if he doesn't move away, Kanna is going to kick against his chest and send him fully onto the ground. it wasn't a good day to go messing with her, kid.]

What the hell do you want?

[bawlingforsoup]

[He scoots back a few inches, but that's it while he recovers from his temporary BSOD.]

Y-You... W-Wh... H-He's my f-friend... K-Kind of.

[spiritsmoking]

That thing isn't anyone's friend!

[glaring down at him, so very much, though she doesn't actually move to do anything right this moment.]

It's a soulless, mindless, godforsaken drone, and it isn't anything!!

[bawlingforsoup]

I-is Mister Ivan. M-Maybe M-Mister Russia w-will be back, b-but...

[He sniffles, lifting a hand to his nose and pulling it away a little bloody.]

I-Isn't going to a-accomplish anything b-by killing his d-drone.

1/2

[spiritsmoking]

He's been a drone too long now. Even if the bastard comes back, he won't remember this hellhole.

[for a second, something in her expression actually shifts, to something not quite the blinding rage she'd had when chasing after the drone--]

[spiritsmoking]

[--but it's gone as soon as it had come, and she's back to glaring down at Latvia. if his nose is only a little bloody, then he's gotten off easy so far.]

You don't have to live next door to that thing! IT'S FUCKING INFURIATING!

[bawlingforsoup]

...M-My m-mother here--M-Miss Roshia, s-she was gone f-for even longer. S-She came back a-and she remembers everyone! M-Mister Giriko, L-Luke--Even me. S-She remembers M-Mayfield.

[He can feel himself shaking under her gaze. It's something he'll never be able to control, but by god he's trying, just like his stuttering. He's doing his best to become stronger.]

S-So is being pushed a-around for d-decades by h-him.

[spiritsmoking]

[that actually gets her to raise an eyebrow, almost curious, almost-- something, but then Kanna scowls, looking back to see where the drone had run off to.]

Well who's goddamn fault is that?
