waves, wondering what Lan wants~

puts her hands on her hips. "I heard you're dating someone."

grins nodding. "Oui, you have heard right~"

stares at him. "...How did you manage that?"

blinks. "What do you mean...? I just asked him out."

waves a hand. "No. How did you manage to get him to say yes?"

shrugs. "I didn't make him say yes~ he said it all on his own~"

him a look that clearly says "I don't believe you".

frowns. "Do not give me that look. That is what happened."

shakes her head. "I find that hard to believe."

"Why? Can't you believe someone likes me?"

frowns. "I certainly don't."

raised an eyebrow. "And how come? I am a very likable~"

laughs a little bitterly. "You've forgotten when you called me your colony already?"

frowned. "Non I have not forgotten."

folds her arms. "Apologize, then."

blinks. "What?" He doesn't think he should apologize.

stands her ground. "Apologize for it."

shakes his head. "Non."

glares. "And why not?"

"I do not think I have to apologize for making you a colony of mine."

scowls. "I didn't want to be your colony."

shrugged. "Well you got your independence right?"

nods, grudgingly agreeing. "After a fight. I shouldn't have had to fight to be independent."

"Alot of nations fought to be independent."

still frowning. "I had been a nation for many, many years before then. I shouldn't have had to fight YOU to be free."

sighed. "It happens...Lots of other nations went through the same thing..."

still frowning. "And yet, that doesn't make it alright."

nods. "I suppose you are right."

watches him. "And so, you should apologize."

frowns. "I am not apologizing."

keeps frowning, and doesn't reply.

sighs. "Is that all you wanted to speak to me about? Asking for an apology?"

still frowning. "And I do want you to take care of him. Canada."

looked up at her and nods. "Of course I'll take care of him."

goes on. "He seems nice enough. He shouldn't have to have someone who strays."

rolled his eyes. "He is very nice.... Ive been working on that."

nods. "I do hope that it works."

sighs. "I do too."

glances away. "For all it's worth, good luck."

fidgets with his hands a little. "Merci..." He looked down sighing. "So... are you doing okay?"

nods. "I've been doing well."

smiles. "That is good to hear~"

nods again. "Yes. I've found out about several people dating."

smirks. "Oui? My my, word travel fasts~"

fiddles with a loose thread on her sleeve. "Yes, I heard about Taiwan and Japan."

nods. "They are a cute couple."

smiles a little bit. "I'm sure. She does like him a lot."

smiles. "I think she does too~"

keeps her laugh in. "She has liked him for a while."

[bah I hafta go out for a while. Ill be bakc in an hour or so ]

((Okay~))

nods. 'It seems that was~ Oi, anyone you are interested in?"

rubs the back of her head and glances away. "...No."

"Hm, no one you have your eye on? I find that hard to believe~"

shakes her head, a tiny bit flustered. "Of course not. I don't need anyone." She doesn't look back at him.

sighed moving a bit closer to her. "You are fine alone then?"

nods, stepping back. "I have been before. I can be alone for longer."

"If you say so~"

folds her arms. "Of course I can." She's really saying it more to herself.

nods. "Mhn~ Alright. but do you really want to be alone?"

shakes her head. "Not alone. I want friends."

"You should make friends then~" He said smiling.

frowns a little. "Russia is my friend."

"Eh... you like him?"

nods. "Yes, I do. He's my friend." She quickly adds the second part.

"I see. Well~ Just be careful around him~"

stares at him for a moment. "...He wouldn't hurt me."

raised an eyebrow. "You do not know that."

watches his expression. "I'm sure he wouldn't. If he was going to, he's had plenty of times he could have."

sighs, looking at her. "I'm just telling you to be careful Oui?"

nods. "Right, right."
