England had always underestimated Canada, and this time was no different. Of course the boy would forget to mention other people would be invited. Namely, America. Who will appear next? France?

After his brilliant first experience with the improbability drive, he wasn't feeling very charitable, and wouldn't have any qualms about leaving if any more unwelcome guests arrived.

Naturally, that meant America had to open his fat mouth and worsen his already terrible mood.

"Do not speak to him in such a manner." England fingered his cup lightly, the only betrayal to his thoughts were his coldly furious eyes. "Perhaps you can learn a thing or two from him. Of course, nothing will sink into that lardy excuse for a brain you have. If there is anything there at all."

He finally tore his gaze from the silverware, his eyes only just softening when they land on Canada.

"It's alright. I know it couldn't have been helped."

Canada nervously eyed England's tea cup - whatever was wrong with the tea he really should not let England have any - but then the conversation was going and he was promptly distracted.

He gave his brother a look as if to say, 'see, England understands what I'm apologizing for,' but perhaps it was wasted as America is not perceptive at reading the atmosphere. He gave England a faint smile in return.

"Thank you. I really am sorry." He remembered clearly now how upset England was at him when he was New France, and more importantly, why.

"And I do so happen to know more than just how to apologize," he continued stubbornly, turning back to America. "Just so happens that this is the right thing to do right now. I'm sorry for how I acted towards you when I was the British Province of Canada last week."

England didn't have the patience or state of mind to be dealing with anyone, much less a fellow nation, after the week they just had. He was only here because Canada had been practically reduced to begging, and it wasn't becoming for the boy to do so.

Instead of rising up to the bait, he decided to take a large gulp from his cup, only to nearly choke at the taste. Canada had to resort to this in an attempt to make amends?

"You honestly thought this would work, Canada? You've turned perfectly good tea into something foul."

Despite saying this, England poured himself another cup. If the only way to survive this encounter without killing anyone meant ingesting spiked tea, then so be it.

"No, we are not--" Canada cut off with an aghast look when he saw England almost choke on the tea. Oh. Crap.

"I'm sorry--" And he cut off again as England poured himself another cup.

... Okay?

Well, fine. Maybe he'll just try to finish a sentence now.

"Yes, shit happens. And when it does, apologize, clean it up, and move on." To punctuate his statement he instinctively took another sip of tea, and instantly regretted it. Choking down the stuff with a grimace he pushed away his nearly empty cup.

By the third cup, it wasn't as hard to swallow anymore. In fact, it was going down a little too easily. The burn of the vodka was becoming strangely pleasant, enough for him to refill his cup every time it became empty.

Despite how nice the vodka made him feel, it also managed to amplify his sour mood, enough for him to not give two shits about social niceties and slam his cup down on the saucer.

"Typical! You always pretend everything is dandy! Never owning up to your mistakes, because the "hero" can't be wrong! What a laughThe logical part of his brain noted that he was starting to ramble, even if he hadn't drank much yet. It didn't make a difference whether last week transpired or not, because what he said to America is one of the things he cannot stand about the upstart nation ( ... )
