"Italia? You wanted something?"

"Make pasta with me, Holy Roman."

*nods* "Okay... Do you know where Austria keeps it?"

"Si..I made it before here." * he grabs his stepstool and clumsily uses it to try to reach it on the shelf in the pantry*

watches Italy, making sure she doesn't fall over

"I...can't reach it, Holy Roman."

looks around "Maybe we should find Austria or Miss Hungary and ask for help... I don't want you to get hurt"

"No." * he was not sure if Austria would let him again* "You try."

nodded, letting Italia get down before climbing up on to the stepstool. He was close to reaching it, pulling himself on to the counter.

*watches hoping he can get it* "Be careful, Holy Roman."

*he nods, getting the box of pasta from the cupboard and putting it on the counter* "I'm fine Italia!"

"You got it!" He squealed happily* "Grazie."

*He nodded, slowly putting his foot down on the stepstool* "You're welcome" He said happily

"Holy Roman is good at reaching things."* he giggles*

*blushes* "Well... I'm older I think... so of course I'm taller. Just like bruder is taller then me."

"Will you be big and strong like him?"

nods "Yes, i will be a great empire like bruder. Greater even." He puffed his tiny chest out.

*squeals happily* "I want to be one too."

beams at her "We'll be one together Italia! And be big and strong just like bruder!"

"We will?" *He looked excited*

nods happily "Yes! We'll be powerful and live ina nice house together and you can eat all the pasta you want!"

*squeals again happily* "I want that. I wan to live with you."

want

*hugs her implusively* "Thank you! Thank you so, so much Italia!"

*is not sure what he did but giggles happily and hugs him back*

*continues beaming happily* "Don't worry Italia! I'll protect you okay and work on getting that big house, I will!"

"You will, Holy Roman?"

he nodded "Yes, I will! I'll even go to the boring lessons that Austria gives me!"

cause to a kid that is a big deal00

))

"Those won't be fun though." *frown a little*

"But becoming an empire is hard work... specially' if you want to be successful!"

"Oh..."* he really didn't know if he liked that but he wanted to be with HRE* "I'll try."

smiled at Italia "We both will!"

"Si." *takes his hand* "Let's find the tomato sauce."

*he nodded, looking around the cupboards for the sauce* "Where does Austria keep it..."

"I don't know." *begins digging in the pantry*

*manages to crawl inside the cupboard looking for it* "I think I found it Italia!"

*squeals happily and waddles over to HRE to see*

*crawls back out of the cupboard, holding up a tin* "It has tomatoes on it so it must be the sauce right?"

*looks at it curiously* "How do we get them out?"

*Shrugs* "I...don't know." *shoulders droop*

"Maybe there is something that opens it here?"

Oh god maybe they should find an adult before they get hurt *terrible mental images of small children in a modern kitchen))

*clumsily wanders around with the can looking around for something that would work*

*watches after Italia, making sure she doesn't get hurt*

"Help me find something, Holy Roman."

*nods* "Okay, what do you think would do the job?""

"A hammer?" *giggles some*

"Wouldn't that be messy?" *he asked, tilting his head to the side*

*giggle* "Si..Maybe something else. Che?"

"Maybe we should find someone who knows what to use..."

"Si...Hungary?""

*nods* "Yes, we should probably go find her..."

*offers his hand* "Let's look for her."

*takes her hand* "Okay Italia"

"Will she be in her room?"

"I-I don't really know. Probably."
