Who is like, 15 in human years or something.]

knows this Vash guy is up to no good when he meets him. Ha. Trying to conquer Italy? Hello? Not when he's still alive.

why Romano's so small. And while he *would* take this chance to conquer Italy... He can't.

glares at him. Hey, he's growing, okay? So there. He'll fight if the other tries to conquer either him or his fratello.

doesn't know what he's talking about, but he's glad that he stopped it or whatever. Italy's part of the Carolingian Empire, so as far as-

he's concerned, it's his. |8

not anyone's! >A>

you are, and you should be happy for it.

being free, thanks. :'| He doesn't want to wear any damn dress again. Older nations and their... obsession.

doesn't understand this completely-- Romano and Francis are so...Small! Oh hey, he towers over them.

glares at him. He'll grow up taller than you one day, just you wait.

might be shorter, but he's at a good height to still do some damage, even it's on the dirty side.

~positively brimming with impatience. Might as well enjoy being taller than the rest-- Wait, what, Francis? He takes a step back.

watches this amusedly. Maybe France's perviness can actually help them this time.

grins. He's confident that he can hold his own against Suisse.

pretty sure of that too, thanks. Francis is so short now, though. He warily bends down and pats the little guy. And Lovi's no help at all.

not going to help a suspicious guy named Vash, especially if he plans to conquer him. Go Francis, go!

rather wary too. He isn't sure if this is some kind of sneak attack. "Do not mess up my hair."

snorts, he didn't intend to mess it up, but now that he gave him the idea... He ruffles Francis' hair. He again wonders why Lovi does't

recognize him.

recognizes him as that annoying guy from yesterday. So he stares at him and just frowns.

ducks away from his hand and tries to smooth his hair out quickly. Here, have a glare.

that's a cute glare. It's not doing much. He just glares back at the both of them and puts his hands on their heads. And, hm? He doesn't

recall seeing Lovi yesterday.

remembers him too. They talked about... *shudders* the evil muffins.

doesn't know of the evil muffins. Care to explain? He wonders if Lovi's talking about the same person.

flails a bit and smacks at his hand. He doesn't like his hair being touched.

blinks at what's happening in front of him. And the evil muffins! Dammit, can't he remember? Those damn guys who-- He dare not continue

twitches and brings his hand back. "Suit yourself, then." He flips his hair. No one touches his hair either. Also, he really doesn't

remember any ...Muffins.

sighs in frustration. He bets the evil muffins did something to Vash and now the other is having an amnesia. Yeah, must be it.

sets a bit away from Vash, lest his hair get messed up further. "What are muffins?"

blinks and blinks again. He doesn't even want to know about what he's talking about. Which is apparently...Evil...Muffins. "Yes, what France

said."

"Muffins are..." How do you say it...? He tries to make hand gestures to help him explaining. "The bad guys who you should avoid!"

raises and eyebrow and slowly points at finger at Francis. "He's a muffin, then?"

shakes his head. "I am not. It's obviously you!"

gestures to himself, "Me? A muffin? Surely not." Then he turns to Lovi, "How do we know that *you're* not a muffin?"

frowns. "N-no, you guys are not muffin..." Though maybe he just don't know yet. Steps further from Vash.

"I-I am obviously not a muffin, dammit!"

[G'night muffins, gotta sleep =n= \O]

[sleep well!]

( Sleep well! <3 )

"How do we recognise muffins, then?" This is serious.

for a while. "W-well, muffins usually dress all fancy and stuffs... and they do bad things... So you know it when they do bad things!"

silently going to squeal at the sight of the three of them as kids. Man, she just wants to hug them and take care of them or something.

doesn't want to be taken care of, thanks. But...Maybe being protected from the muffins would be nice.

honestly has no idea what they're talking about, but a good way to protect themselves from the muffins is by eating them?

...didn't know it's okay to eat muffins. It seems kind of...wrong?

why? They're talking about food, aren't they?

doesn't think people are food. Especially evil ones.

confused now; are they using muffin as a word to talk about someone in particular?

tries explaining the concept to her. But Romano is really better suited for that.

tell his princess that the muffins are evil, evil persons you should avoid! Really.

{ d'aww .u.<3 }

couldn't really understand the concept even after Francis explained it but - aww, Roma. But she doesn't know who these evil muffins are..!

doesn't know who they are too... and he's terrified of them. B-but he'll still protect you, so no worries there!

why he is terrified of them if he doe-- no, she won't even question. He is a child. She pats his head though; she knows he'll protect her~

say that the evil muffins are good at disguising themselves. He murmurs something about stupid idiots and clings to her.

pats his head comfortingly. She still doesn't get it, but there's not much point in arguing it, either. "I'm sure you can scare them off."

admits it embarrassedly. "If I don't get scared off first." Cue pouting and getting red-faced. He will need to train so he'll get stronger.

that is simply adorable - he looks so red - like a tomato, Spanje would say! "You won't, Roma~" She smiles. "I believe you!"

happy that someone's putting that much faith in him. And she doesn't treat him like a kid. "How could you believe in me so much?"

simply smiles. "Because Roma said he'd protect me~" That and she likes to feed children's wishful thinking, probably. How sweet of her.

"I-I see..." Hmph, obviously, he can be counted on more than most adults here. Just look at Belgium!

would just pat his head and agree with him through it all. He's so sweet, saying all those things. "Roma is a good knight~"

"And you're a good princess!" They're such a good pair. Even better than some of the cartoons he had watched during his lazying around.

would agree to that, but she did not watch any cartoons. She kisses the top of his head. "If you say so, thank you~"

to correct the last part. Not lazying around. He's taking his rest. And jaksud what's with the kiss again? He flails. "You're welcome."

just likes to spoil him all motherly-like~ It's been a long time since Lovi was little and they were all together! "Mm, you're a cutie~"

the spoiling so far. She is so nice and kind and warm. "I-I am not a cutie!"

spoil him all he wants. And she'll have to disagree with you on that. "Oh yes you are~"

shakes head stubbornly. "Not one! I hate being called cute!' It is not manly at all.

doesn't think he should be worried about being manly at this age yet. "Well, but I want my knight to be cute, Roma~"

still doesn't want to look cute or anything like that... wha-- "Ah? B-but..." He's in a dilemma now.

doesn't see what is wrong with being cute! "Everyone can be cute, no~?" She pinches his cheek.

to look manly! ;A; He's too lazy to do any exercises though. "*You* are the cute one here-- Don't pinch my cheeks!"

smiles widely and even giggles a bit at that. "Am I, really? And-- Why not?" And she thinks he will have plenty of time to be manly~

puffs cheeks annoyedly. "Yeah, really. And because it hurts." He rubs his cheek.

pouts then and repeats the motion, rubbing his cheeks gently. "Well I apologize, then. I won't do it again if it hurts Roma~"
