[He's not really familiar with the concept of people leaving yet, but-]
I think they're just something for you to treasure. I mean, if she's left it to you, it obviously means she doesn't mind but I guess it's more for memory's sake than anything. Y'know, like... something to keep hold of and remember fondly.
[He's guessing fondly, mind you. He's got a good collection of things back home that he can't bring himself to throw away - a lot of that isn't quite to do with fond memories though.]
So they're all... a memento...? *Taking a small breath as he tilts his head back a bit, mulling over it.* Even if that's the case... If I just hold onto it... Is that really enough?
Well, the hat and diary would be. Though you could use the hat to keep warm too. [He smiles just faintly.] It's... something to just glance back at and remember her... so I guess a little more than just holding onto it.
It would feel... mm... I don't know. Improper? To wear her hat... *Shaking his a head a bit* I will be holding onto them, no matter what-- just... I wish I knew why it was left for me...
Yeah. Sorry you had to go through with it anyway, and don't worry about it! [America gives him one of his charming, bright smiles.] Everyone has those days!
Ahaha... Especially here, where people can come and go without warning... *Rubbing at his neck a bit, leaning back against his Arcanine a bit more* Still... I appreciate what you said, Mister!
Yeah, exactly! [He gives him a wider smile] And hey, call me Ame--Alfred! [He really needs to get used to this... He keeps confusing people otherwise.]

*And after a moment, he smiles a bit* ... sorry you had to meet me while I'm not in the best mood...

Though, um... With a name like that, and your hair and eyes... Are you American? *ha. ha. ha. ha.*

[Awkward laughter - might as well say it in that case then, huh?]
Not quite... [He pauses dramatically - not intentionally, mind you - and continues.] I am America!

You mean in the metaphorical sense...? Like you're the kind of man who embodies everything about the so called "American Way?"

Well that as well, but. Uh. [How is he even supposed to explain this?] I'm just... America.
[He looks sheepish.] Like I am America. [He really fails at explaining things, obviously.]

I... don't really get it, but if you encompass the American Way, I suppose it makes sense...
