Glory to the fatherland that knew how to follow the blue of the sea to walk to the sun

Spain doesn't hang around HQ lately. It's a lot of work being a soverign nation still there's a place he likes to go to remind him that it's all worth while. It's a room he found quite a while back in the middle of a hallway. Inside it's ordinary looking, like a common sitting room. There's a rug and a coffee table with a number of nice looking

...feeling so cliché right now..

((ooc: It's about time! I'm kind of going by what I know from my history books and relatives who have lived in Germany, so my knowledge maaaay be a little out of date. ^^;;;; ))

"...make it stop..." He curls forward, eyes widened, though his pupils have narrowed to barely more than pinpricks. It's far too much, two hundred centuries of things he knows nothing about, beating on his mind like that. Especially feeling the undercurrent for a noticeable portion of it of, if not outright hatred, a cultural urge to just lump him in with everything else shameful and undesirable about the past, which hurts on a very visceral level. "...make it stop make it stop make it stop make it stop." Though the volume steadily increases, his tone never quite leaves the odd mélange of wounded, scared child and utterly flat it has taken on

He might have a bit of an easier time with the Latin since that's closer to Spanish, but it's quite possibly longer. It looks longer, at any rate. "Yeah, the name change to Ordensstaat was a relief in so many ways"

That question makes him blink, sorting fuzzily through all the new memories along with the old. "To the 1190s, why?" Not that he remembers back then particularly well, unless he has his diaries to jog his memory, but he does remember some of those days. "Not like I'd know anything before then; I hadn't been born yet."

"Because I can't remember a lot before Rome found me. Sometimes I wonder if I was someone else once, the way it is with your brother." He tells him.

"You never did tell me how you found Alemania."

[gewehrundblut]

"Oh... I didn't..." It actually never occurred to him that a lot of his fellow nations don't really have any way of knowing when they were formed or if that's all they've ever been. "I had no idea..."

"...And that's none of your business."

This is the part where Spain should learn to read the atmosphere.

"Why? I cared about Holy Roman Empire as much as you did."

[gewehrundblut]

"Do remember I am Protestant and he was Catholic." Yes, Spain really needs to learn to read the atmosphere far better than he is right now. "So I can't say I cared about the brat that much. After all, it stopped being my job when I stopped being the Order." It's a lie; despite whatever their bosses may have said about religion and such, he did still care about his older brother. And he may have punched Austria hard and repeatedly until he felt better (rather, when Hungary found them and dragged him off) when he found out what Austria's boss did.

Spain blinked, "Did that matter? Well, yes it did back then but now? I remember, a long time ago in my world, that a version of you told me not to be sad for Holy Roman Empire. That he was in better hands now. Yet when you said that you were holding Germany. I always wondered if you had just found him and raised him as your own."

Here Spain cracked a smile, "I also noticed that you raised him Protestant as well."

[gewehrundblut]

"Spain. Shut. Up." He crosses his arms over his chest, looking away. He's right, it really didn't matter at all, especially because in his world, he never quite stopped being the Order. After all, it kept existing even after he became Ducal and Royal Prussia. What Spain says is not exactly how things went in his world (for one, though the semblance is highly suspect to him, he genuinely has no idea if his younger brother is actually his older brother), but...

He sighs, shoulders dropping. "Whether he is in the hands of God or myself, I assure you that whatever the other me said is true. And of course I intend to raise him Protestant! It'd be a bit odd for the personification of a primarily Lutheran nation to be attending Mass, wouldn't it?"
