 [What is it? Oh no, there is a drowning kitten in the lac! It is mewling and panicking, unable to swim.] MIAAAAAAAAAA!! (HEEEEEEEEEELP!!)

England, horrified, throws himself without a thought in the water to save his pet. However... there is a problem. In his haste, he completely forgot he did not know how to swim himself. He reaches his poor kitten

[ Logically, RonRon knows jumping in water in winter is a bad idea...but she's dealt with worse and it's not like she has time to deliberate. Setting Lil Cottonball on the ground safely away from the water, she quickly shrugs off her coat and dives in. ]

[ladysouthland]

Nonsense. Can't have ya gittin' ill 'r somethang.

[rippedby2roses]

[A snort.] It's a bit hard for us nation to get ill.

[ladysouthland]

[ And a laugh. ]

This is HQ. 'Ve since learned that if there's somethang ya think is impossible, it probably is entirely possible here. Why run tha risk?

[rippedby2roses]

[He makes a face at that.] Touché. I would have never thought that a lac indoor is possible as well, to b honest.

[ladysouthland]

It's cert'ly a strange place. 'Nyway, as I said, stay by tha fire 'n warm up, 'll be righ' back.

[ She doesn't give England the chance to argue before she's out the door to find those towels, leaving Lil Cottonball behind to meow up at Myrdin. ]

[rippedby2roses]

[He sighs, exhaustion from earlier catching up to him, he let himself fall on his behind and puts down the kitten.]

[ladysouthland]

[ Lil Cottonball buisies himself grooming Myrdin to help him out, while in a few minutes Aaron comes back carrying a couple towels. He holds out one to England, another over his shoulder and even thought to get a smaller one for the kitten. ]

Here ya 're.

[rippedby2roses]

[He takes the towel, smiling at her-him?- gratefully and drapes it over himself, using the other to dry the kitten, ruffling it in the way.]

Thanks for the towels.

[He approaches then the fireplace.] Pardon my curiosity but what happened to you? Did you enter one of these damn room with strange effects?

[ladysouthland]

No need ta thank me.

[ She uses the towel she kept for herself to get her hair dry, sitting down on the couch as the little while kitten hopped up on her lap. ]

Yeah, one-a those rooms that changes tha gender. It ain't wore off yet. Fer tha most part...'ve kinda been keepin' ta myself 'n my house, but I decided ta wander 'round 'n ended up li'e this.

[ A while back he built a house not far from HQ for his family and himself. He's just kinda...isolated himself there for the most part. ]

[rippedby2roses]

[He smiles wryly as he learns about his companion's plight. He can kind of relate, what with the frog-related incident he'd rather not to think about.]

You don't seem to get along your other selves very well... am I wrong?

[He then realizes it may be rude to say that.] Pardon my prying!

[ladysouthland]

[ RonRon actually pauses at the question, not quite looking at England. ]

...there is one 'm close ta, but...le's jus' say we don' 'xactly agree on somethang...

[ He and the Navy!CSA were closer to each other than any the rest of the Confederates, but as for the rest...well, RonRon's praying England doesn't question furthur on that. ]

...we all get along well 'nuf fer tha most part, at 'ny rate.

[rippedby2roses]

[Once Myrdin's fur is dried enough for his taste, he grabs the towel he put over himself and rubs his hair.]

It must be a little odd to live with your own other selves, I guess...

[He can feel that the American does not feel comfortable with that conversation and decides to change of subject.]

You make a handsome lady. [A rather weak attempt at joking of course.]

[ladysouthland]

[ RonRon watches as her kitten gets up from her lap and walks over to Myrdin, nuzzling against the other kitten a bit. ]

...I think Cotton's takin' a liking ta Myrdin.

[ But then she turns her attention back to England. ]

It is, a bit. Sometimes I think tha modern ones li'e playin' big siblin' ta us younger ones, though.

[ Well, it did make her blush a bit, atleast, though she does recognize it as a attempt at joking and laughs softly. ]

I don' see 'ow~

[rippedby2roses]

[Myrding happily nuzzles back, taking comfort in the heat the other emits.]

Whatever make you say that?

[He understands the feeling.] I see... I do admit that some of my older selves came off as kind of patronizing to me. But it might be just me. You have to admit that France and my older siblings are not what you could use as example to compare with.

[He smiles mischievously.] I assure you that you are~

[ladysouthland]

[ And Cotton's happy to curl around Myrdin to help warm him up, purring quietly. ]

'Cause of tha way he's cuddlin' up ta him.

Hmm, Alfred jus' got loud. Though from wha' 've seen Matthew is as quiet as ever. [ Then remembering England might not recognize the names. ] Er, America 'n Canada.

[ And she smiles back playfully. ] Ya must be mistaken~
