Lithuania didn't like the idea of quite a while. Really, he didn't like the idea of being forced to stay at all, but he would have to deal with it, he supposed, until a way out presented himself. Not that that did much to quell the worry churning his stomach as he wondered what this meant for his people.
"It's a pleasure," Lithuania replied almost automatically, attempting to smile to hide his worry. "You've been here long enough to open a shop?"
Hanekoma could tell the other guy was worried, but for now kept his silence. It was best to wait until people were ready to share these things with you, rather than just confront them with it out of the blue. Unless, of course, they needed a good kick in the pants.
"Well, actually I haven't been here all that long, but I'm not really so good with time off," Hanekoma said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Plus, this city didn't have a coffee shop before mine, which was an injustice I had to address."
Lithuania kept up his smile, as always attempting to hide any worry beneath a facade of calmness. Hanekoma seemed nice enough, and so there was no need to worry him. It would be hard enough to explain why he was so worried anyway.
"I can't afford to take time off," Lithuania said. "I really need to get home as soon as I can."
Hanekoma nodded and said, "Well, we'll see what we can do boss. After all, just because no one knows of a way out doesn't mean there isn't one. Someone had to be the first to discover everything."
He could tell Lithuania was a little more nervous than he let on, but he didn't press things. If the other man wanted to tell him he would. For now Hanekoma would help how he could.
Lithuania nodded, trying to look optimistic about the situation in spite of--well, in spite of the situation. "I guess--this must be really far from anywhere I've been before."
He could sense it, as easily as he could see or hear he could tell that Lithuania was far away, his home and his land and his self lost somewhere in the void of space. It made him wonder if he was on another planet, if maybe Tony had done something--but no, he didn't think that was it. He just didn't know what it was.
