Двадцять сім 27: Lost family

[motheringnation]

[Brother was still gone. And it still hurt. Because that ...thing, accent-less, America praising...thing, was not him. He hadn't even gotten all awkward when she brought him a sunflower. Or tried to make her stay over for a few days.

She never thought she'd miss being tricked into spending a weekend at his house.

But life goes on, and so does she.

[ Wy wanted to draw some of the flowers at the flower shop, but doesn't seem to notice how distracted Ukraine is. ]

Hey. Hey! I'm talkin' to ya!

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine blinks and then seems to realize there's someone there.]

O-Oh...I'm very sorry

C-can I help you?

[wybrows]

Finally.

I want to draw some flowers. I'd like to see your prettiest ones. [ She looks around at all of them. ]

[motheringnation]

Oh r-right...

D-do you want any type in particular? Or ju-just any pretty ones?

[Someone is taking a day off from being a knightly guy, and just walking the park in outdoorswear. He looks pale and a little unhealthy, as though he's been burning the candle at both ends. But he does notice someone crying on the park bench. He will cross to her, a concerned look on his craggy, slightly equine features.]

Are you all right, Mamzel?

[Asks the 8 1/2 foot tall giant.]

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine looks up...and up. and ...okay jokes over. Though considering her daughters a ghost and her "neice" is a Martian, she manages not to look shocked. She just wipes her eyes and shakes her head.]

I'm fine...r-really.

[lunawolves10th]

So you say.

[He pauses a moment] Has the town afflicted you in some way? Or just the stress of existing here...

[He looks down at his own exhausted form.]

It seems to take a toll on everyone.

[motheringnation]

Th-they took my little brother away....

[ Chell had thought some flowers might add some cheer to the eerie atmosphere of her "home".

It's a bit difficult to think about cheerful things when it seems one of the employees isn't feeling her best.

Chell hesitates before approaching the woman, setting down the small potted plant she had been holding. She seems cautious, reaching and out touching Ukraine's arm gently.

Picking up on the emotions of others may not be her strong suit (for now) but this is sort of hard to miss. ]

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine is just staring off in the distance but comes back too when Chell touches her arm.]

Ah...I'm sorry. I was...j-just lost in thought.

Can I help you?

[thinkwportals]

[ With Ukraine's attention, Chell pulls back her hand, producing her notebook from the pocket of her dress.

She jots something down, before turning it towards Ukraine. ]

Alright?

[ Never mind they're complete strangers. Chell wants to help, if she can. ]

[motheringnation]

[She tilts her head to look at it. And then smiles sadly with a little sniff.]

It's...nothing...

I just miss my brother....

The town turned him into a drone...

[motheringnation]

[Is hugged. And she'll just cry into your shoulder for a while.]

[motheringnation]

[And after a while she'll lean back. Sniffing and wiping her eyes.]

I'm s-sorry...

[letunityblossom]

[Pausing in his walk as soon as he sees her.]

Miss Ukraine? Are you alright?

[motheringnation]

[Looks over, a few tears being wiped away quickly.]

I-it's n-nothing....

[He probably knows her better too well to believe that.]

[letunityblossom]

[He's pretty sure he knows the issue.]

He just went home, right?

[He will keep his Russia hate in check today.]

[motheringnation]

I-I...hope he did....
