Germany did not really know whether to say that the meeting with the other nations was successful or not, but there was something to be said of having so many countries present in the room without any ensuing violence. Perhaps it was the lack of Russland's presence, or that his brother seemed to be wiser somehow.

Their discussion on the merits of humans had become heated and intense, and he didn't like it. It was one thing to have differences with the other countries, but he did not suffer that extreme a difference from his brother. Personality aside, they had always worked together. And now Preussen was insisting that humans should be treated on the same level as they? What nonsense!

Such were his thoughts that his eyebrows knotted together in the middle and he stalked up to the training venue with a dark cloud over his head. And then there was the matter of the missing Litauen. Where could the small nation have gone?

And there was the first arrival! Somehow Ping wasn't too surprised to see that Germany was the first person here. They had only talked twice, and even though he wasn't the best at reading people, the man definitely exuded the air of one who was quite serious, and definitely a warrior of sorts.

"Germany!" Ping was aware that his companion was a country, or as he thought of them the spirit of one so he pushed off the tree, taking the three makeshift poles with him and jogged towards Germany, giving a small bow of his head.

"I hope that your meeting went well?"

He looked up at Fa Ping's call and was suddenly made aware that he had left his consciousness wander. When did he get there? More importantly, he nodded his head at the other man in return, reaching forward to shake his hand. Fa Ping was peculiarly... slight in build, and very small. Germany was used to the differences between Europeans and Asians by now, though, and thought no more of it. Why, China himself had defeated Germany several times in the past with that strange kung fu of his.

"It went well, yes, thank you," he replied, noting the poles. "Are we to train with those? And what year are you from?" The blond had considered letting Fa Ping use him in his weapon form, but it only occurred to him now that the man may have come from a time in history where guns had not yet been developed.

Likewise, Ping was a little surprised by Germany. It wasn't just that he was asian that made him small (nor his true gender) but also his time. Thankfully while he was still stuck on the bit where he was still surprised by such tall people, he was no longer intimidated. Especially not after meeting Alphonse.

He shook Germany's hand and nodded. "They aren't much, but it was the only thing I could find. Hopefully, if these training sessions becoming a regular thing, as I hope them to be, we will find better." Sure they had the other kind of Weapon to train with, but that left very little option for those Weapons themselves.

Ping gave a small shrewd smile "The year 121."

Ling had seen Ping's post about training, and to say the least, the Prince was curious. He didn't leave Ping a message, but giving warning was never something Ling did in common practice, anyways. He was sure the other wouldn't mind if he popped by for a little bit, right?

And so he did. Ah, there he was, leaning against a tree. It looked like he didn't see him coming from behind. No matter.

Once Ling was a few feet behind Ping, he greeted him. "Hello!"

thethirdhare September 8 2009, 01:11:13 UTC

Needless to say Ping hadn't been expecting anyone to come up from behind him.

Ping let out a some what girly shriek and jump away from the tree as if it were cursed. His heart pounded in his chest and even after seeing that it was only Ling it took a moment for it to calm down.

"Oh. Prince Yao. You frightened me." Well that was stating the obvious. Just a bit.

for_xing September 9 2009, 02:11:09 UTC

Ling did his best not to laugh at the shriek. My that was quite high-pitched, wasn't it.

He did however laugh at her statement, giving a dismissive wave and a sheepish shrug. "My apologies. I should not have been so quiet walking up, yes?"

thethirdhare September 9 2009, 03:47:56 UTC

Ping gave a shake of his head, actually cracking a bit of a smile. Without any actual danger there he could see the humor of it.

"Or perhaps I should not allow myself to be so easily caught off guard." It was a war after all.

"Are you here for the training session?" As far as he could recall, Ling hadn't said anything about coming. Not that she would send the Prince off, of course, but it made him wonder if he should expect yet more.

Laura wandered in sometime later, poise relaxed but eyes roaming the area as she came around. The girl had occupied herself in as much as possible with classes and the other activities offered by this strange place she had been transported to, learning as much as she could about the situation.

Admittedly, though, she was almost looking forward to seeing what might happen with this "training" session.

thethirdhare September 9 2009, 03:56:30 UTC

When Laura came onto the grounds, Ping had a mixture of feelings. He had never trained with a woman before, unless, if by some ironic means others in the military had taken a leaf out of his book. Either way she wasn't aware he had, and the much different role that women seem to have here was incredibly baffling.

He was happy to see that they could fight as they were, without need for disguise or fear of what others would think. He was happy that he could train with her, and neither be looked down upon.

...at the same time. There was something that just kept nagging at him. There was something that always nagged at him when he talked or interacted with girls. He never really had to since he donned the disguise and it just felt strange doing so here. Maybe it was because he felt they were more likely to see through the disguise, or he felt worse about deceiving them. He wasn't sure.

Regardless, now was not the time to be rude so he head on over to her and gave a bow. "Hello. You are here to train, yes?"

kidkittyclaws September 9 2009, 16:13:02 UTC

Laura noted the other's approach some time before he came forward, and blinked when he bowed...

...Wait. There was something... strange about this one. The girl blinked again, trying to place what it was. Her expression, however, remained smooth and neutral, disclosing nothing of her thoughts.

"Yes."

thethirdhare September 12 2009, 02:17:17 UTC

Ping smiled and held out a hand to shake. The voice was familiar so he knew that it was one of the people whom he had talked to the previous day. Unfortunately it seemed he had forgotten his manners.

"My named is Fa Ping. Or just Ping," It seemed that in this place people were use to giving their names backwards, so many confused his family name for his birth name, "please forgive my terrible manners. I never introduced myself before, nor asked your name."
