((It isn't abnormal for Bri-tan to be sitting outside. She likes to be outside, looking at her garden or decorating the outside of the house with little garden gnomes. Now, though, she's sitting on the pouch, a miserable look on her face. Why

[Does Vietnam ever need a reason to be creeping around her brother's house? No.

So she's here, on the front lawn, sort of just staring at Bri-tan. Wait, isn't that the cat she was so desperate to get rid of yesterday?]

[tartswithtea]

I hope you know this is the second dress your kind has ruined. Look at these paws..! I'll have to bathe--

((Oh there's...))

Th... Whatever you're thinking, I'm not doing it for the cat's sake or anything..!

[lotuslife]

[She lifts a hand to her chin. That hand is heavily bandaged.] I thought you hated that cat.

[tartswithtea]

I hat--

Desp--

((bites her lip.))

There is no alliance between myself and this terrorist.

[lotuslife]

...Terrorist.

[tartswithtea]

Yes. ((She takes the cat and nicely holds it up for Vietnam.))

If one were to look in her eyes the right way, you can tell she's possessed by a devil.

[lotuslife]

[looks!] Well, that much is obvious, if it truly belongs to my brother.

[tartswithtea]

((Sets it back down on her lap and goes back to petting it.))

At least somebody agrees. Hong Kong adores the little bugger, and Iceland keeps reminding me "it was a gift". Hmph.

((a disgusted moment--then)) I don't believe I got your name, dear.

[lotuslife]

...Vietnam. China and Hong Kong are my brothers.

[tartswithtea]

Ah, I'd heard you where here... I am Bri-tan.

[lotuslife]

So I've heard. I can't imagine he's satisfied being married to you.

[tartswithtea]

Hardly, but it's mutual. ((pets)) He's quite the prick.

[lotuslife]

Do khon nang. 'Bastard'. Or you can also use do cho de, which is 'son of a bitch', or I could even teach you some in Chinese to make him extra angry.

[tartswithtea]

Do... cone... nag. ((pause...

she taps the spot beside her)) Why don't you set, I'm sure you're tired of standing.

[lotuslife]

[sits!] Let's see... Gǒuzǎizi is 'son of a bitch' in Mandarin.

Wōnang fèi, 'useless loser'...

[tartswithtea]

...Are there any more lady like swears? The latter seems acceptable, but...
