02. Passion is in {action}

[creme_master]

[Splendor, today is a sad, sad day. Why? Francis, the Nation of Looove, and too French to function, has under no pretense beyond boredom and an ego the size of Texas, decided that today be the day he test the boundaries of Splendor’s wish granting capabilities.

So, what does he wish for that makes this such a mournful day?

Everyone that comes

As if I could resist this.

[Russia was still confused about this strange city with it's wishing and rainbow colored water fountains. As it is, he's simply settled at one of the tables that crop up along the shops with a book in hand. He's relaxed, and of course that means something -or someone- is going to come along and change that.]

I wouldn't allow it!

[creme_master]

[Change it INDEED. Seeing the man off to the side, Francis heads over. He wants to see if Ivan shows any signs of adoring him. Well, moreso than usual of course~]

Russie! My afternoon just became more pleasant.

So demanding <3

[za_rodina]

[Russia's caught of guard by someone speaking at him as he'd semi-gotten used to the silent natives, and he looks up with a startled almost-squeak. These are wide violet eyes, can you resist them? Can you?]

F-francis, you startled me.

[Nonetheless a smile settles on his lips and he beckons Fran to join him.]

Certainly you're the only one who would think an afternoon with me would be pleasant, dorogoy.

Just for you~

[creme_master]

[Mmm, the wide eyes. Russie makes a very attractive Bambi face--of course that's irresistible.]

[Chuckling, he took the invitation and settled down at the man's table, putting on a decidedly apologetic face]

You just looked so deep in thought that I had to interrupt the peace.

[Resisting urge to grope; goes for the book to tilt it up a bit; blink]

What are you reading?

Why thank you my dear~

[za_rodina]

I should have known; as if I get any peace when with you, lyubimiy.

[Russia smirks and reaches out to catch France's hand, setting the book on the table.]

Anna Karenina, I found a copy in one of the stores here.

Re: Why thank you my dear~

[creme_master]

[Snorting at the pet name, Francis twined their fingers together. He was stuck on deciding if this was normal or wished upon but he was not about to shun the affection] Someone has to keep you on your toes in this place. It is merely my duty as concerned fellow, non?

[Francis offered his own smirk before glancing down]

Sounds like a pleasant time, hm? Should I leave you to your reading?~

Re: Why thank you my dear~

[za_rodina]

[Russia smiled brightly when France twined their fingers together but pouts ever so slightly at the last bit.]

Nyet. I would much rather spend time with you Francis.

[creme_master]

[Smiles a bit, playful... but a whole lot more devious]

You would, Russie? Doing what?

[za_rodina]

[He leans in and purrs, bringing their entwined hands close so he an brush a kiss against France's knuckles.]

Whatever you want, lyubimiy.

[creme_master]

Well, well, well. [why yes; that was a rather impressive Cheshire grin the Frenchman was sporting]

This is not about me. It is all you; as I did interrupt your afternoon reading.

[za_rodina]

You're so generous today~ [His grin widens in response to France's and Russia can't help but chuckle.]

It is not like I was doing anything important, if anything this city is leaving me rather bored.

[And we all know a bored Russia is not a good Russia.]

[creme_master]

[bored Russia is a bad thing indeed. Shrugging and letting that smile of his ease back on, he insisted that:] I am a man centered on catering to other's desires. It would be horribly selfish of me if I told you what to do.

[za_rodina]

I'm certain we could find something to do. [He reaches over and traces France's jaw, bringing him closer.] Do you not agree, my dear?

[creme_master]

[chuckles, leaning in until they were practically brushing noses ... only to reach up and tap Russia on his <3] I'm listening, cher Russie~

[za_rodina]

[Russia leans up and nips at that offending finger, grinning, before nuzzling their noses together with a happy hum. He's never been one to turn down affection, but for some reason today he's extra touchy and he soaks up all the attention.] Mmm, ya ne znayo~

[He chirps, laughing for a moment, and reaches out play with France's hair, twining strands around his fingers. He's unusually cheerful.]

[creme_master]

[Oh dear... France wasn't unfamiliar with displays of affection - especially public ones. He was just a bad example of someone with self-restraint, Francis. The smile went wide on his face with Russia went for his hair, tutting softly in the space between them. Might've pecked the corner of his mouth juuuust because] You don't? No ideas? Quel dommage, mon ami.
