[The video switches on to Japan, and he leaves the device lying there. He's got his uniform on, though his arms aren't through the sleeves, and he's looking pretty grim. Ignoring that, he seems to be in the hospital which is not in good shape.]
...Forgive me for what has occurred.
Ah, but if I may ask, what has happened to the hospital? It is... [a

Until then. Ah.. I hope Taiwan-san is not still punching at it..
[He looks a little worried at that, makes sure his sword is with him, and walks off.
And how shall we do this, because I want to play it out if you don't mind. *A*]

Ah, Seifer-san! ...Is now a convenient time to speak?

If you gotta. Let's hear it.
[Just, waiting. You've got his attention Japan, you probably shouldn't waste it; he doesn't actually do this often.]

A few minutes of conversation is all I ask. Perhaps we could sit somewhere. If you are in the middle of something, I can wait until you are ready..
[thinking seifer needs a break from his communicator anyway..]

Alright. C'mon.
[Grabbing his gunblade he leads the way to one of the unoccupied rooms in Horton. It looks terrible for obvious reasons, but it's empty, it's quiet and there's the usual assortment of furniture you'd find in most apartments. Seifer takes a seat on the couch and glances at Japan expectantly.]

...You have been very involved in things within the city. Do you manage to keep up with it all?

I keep up with enough. What about it.

You've taken quite a leadership role in things, and yet I have yet to see you take a break.

Japan.

Please do not take such a tone with me, Seifer-san. Ah.. perhaps I can put it in your terms. [BRACE FOR HIS BEST SEIFER IMITATION spoilers it's not the best he expects to be laughed at or maybe hit again]
If you want me to stay out of it then you gotta prove that you can handle it. You're posse, remember? Did you really think I wouldn't notice?
[and then stopping that horrible casual speech and hurhur he said posse]
... Ah, I believe something like that would be said if the situation were reversed.

I'm fine.
[But his hands curl into fists and he does... suddenly look tired.]
What tipped you off?

I am more observant than most. Ah.. your actions speak loudest. [It was hard to pick just one point in time where he noticed it, really]

[He falls silent and it's hard not to be pissed. He hates showing weakness. Even if it's Japan... it still stings. He should be better than this. He should be more capable. He should have taken care of this whole entire mess already. But that isn't the case is it, because he isn't good enough. Never good enough.]
The hell do you expect me to do about it? I can't stop now.

[Japan frowns. Really, he's sympathizing with a lot of Seifer's thoughts right now. Showing weakness, even, is never something any country wants to do. Humans, either. It's no different, though some are more stubborn about it than others. He leans forward a little and now it's his turn to try for a comforting hand on the arm.]
Perhaps I could be of some help? ... There are others, as well.. Ah, I believe you can continue to work as you do while allowing more time for yourself. At least a small break would be sufficient at such a time.

The hell do you think I am?
[He stands up and looks down at the country. Again that laugh, more of a chuckle really, far from pleasant.]
You think I'm a little boy who can't handle war? Who can't get the job done?! Heh... I bid farewell to my childhood a long time ago Japan.
[He doesn't even realizing he's saying the very same thing Edea said to him before she dragged him off to be her knight. But there's a heady feeling running through his brain now like a half remembered dream. What it means to be a knight, to be out in the field, ( ... )
