twitches and glares at the little kid. He resists the urge to swipe that picture from Hong Kong's hands and rip it into pieces.

looks up at Switzerland then the picture, then back at Switzerland. He decides to focus on the picture, clearly preferring it over the--

--real thing.

furrows his brows and right then decides to take the picture from Hong Kong's pudgy hands. He glares.

keeps a tight grip on it. Switzerland will only obtain about half a picture.

gets half of the picture. It's not even the part where he's in. Fabulous. He grits his teeth in annoyance and crouches to meet HK's level.

holds the picture close to himself because he knows Switzerland is trying to steal it. For a moment it seems he won't so anything but then--

--his hand will shoot out to grab onto Switzerland, anything he can get his hands on.... the guy's hair, nose, whatever.

's eyes widen as his hair is pulled. No one touches the hair. Not even a little Hong Kong. He stands slowly, and apparently his grip is so

-tight that he's still hanging on. Great. He just stares at the kid.

will just hang there. He would much rather hang off a panda. That and he was slipping.

catches the little guy before he falls completely. He sort-of engages a staring contest.

will stare back at him, now he is holding the picture with both hands. He is definitely not letting Switzerland have it.

needs to rip that picture apart. However, Hong Kong's grip is strong... He lifts him above his head and kinda.. shakes him.

is shaken but merely looks like he has been through an earthquake. He opens his mouth as if to say something but he quickly closes it.

frowns and decides to put him down, seeing that this won't go anywhere. He pats the kid's hair and flattens his messy hair. ...Maybe, just-

maybe, if he would play 'nice', he would be able to get that picture.

already knows Switzerland wants the picture but he might be willing to trade. After all, it seemed like Switzerland highly prized this--

--piece of paper.

wonders what he wants to trade. After all, what would a little kid like him want?

seems like he might just keep the paper now. He gets up on his feet to walk away with it. Possibly showing to anyone he meets along his way.

isn't going to let him go anywhere with that photo. Nope, nowhere.

will still attempt to walk away. It is difficult with an adult person stopping him.

just sits down and holds Hong Kong's shoulder.

sighs deeply. He was suffering apparently. He swats at Switzerland with one hand not that he can do much to him.

doesn't move a single bit. Keep trying, little guy.

will keep trying to swat at Switzerland but being young his patients is disappearing. He stops, his eyes welling up with tears.

blinks, immediately frowning. He pats Hong Kong's head, shaking his head. "No reason to cry."

thinks there is! He is being held by a creepy glitter person who wanted to steal from him. He closes his mouth tightly though and cried--

--silently.

*cries

frowns even more, a small crease appearing on his forehead. He purses his lips before talking, "Shh. Don't cry."

is trying not to cry. He tries to escape once more with his funny paper.

sighs through his nose and wonders if he should just let him pass. A little humiliation isn't too bad, right? Ah but... He decides to ask-

nicely. "Can I have that piece of paper?" He grits his teeth. "*please?*"

seems to think about it for a minute. He then points at Switzerland's hat. He would like to trade.

likes his hat. He breathes in deeply and points at his hat. "You want this?"

nods he wanted the hat. The picture seemed valuable to Switzerland so he wanted something he thought looked valuable in return.

likes the way this kid thinks. Well, he would like it if it wasn't being used against him. Eyes flickering once, he takes his hat off and-

hands it to Hong Kong. "Can I have the picture now?"

lost interest in the picture and shoves it at Switzerland as he takes the hat. He picks at it, inspecting it carefully before trying to--

--place it on his own head.

reminds himself to get another as he takes the picture. At least he could avoid humiliation now. He shoves into his pocket and pats HK.

looks at Switzerland confused as he manages to get the hat on. Little did Switzerland know that there were more pictures where that one--

--came from.

is blissfully unaware of that. Happy him is happy, so no one gets shot. At the moment. A smiles weakly, "Fitting."

tilts his head, only the hat slides a bit before finally it covers his eyes.

snorts and fixes it. He hums, "You seem awfully silent." Then he realizes that HK probably couldn't talk.

looks up at him, then opens his mouth wide. "Aaaaaah!" There, he was not silent. He just did not feel like talking.

blinks and rolls his eyes, "Fine, you're not silent," He says, amused. He stands up.

watches him stand up, by now he seems to have lost some interest in Switzerland. Instead he reaches into his shirt to pull out another--

--picture. He begins to walk away looking at it.

wishes to bang his head against something sandpapery now. Now to just hope Hong Kong doesn't show that to anyone... Ah, what was he-

thinking? Of course he will. Best be off ignoring it. ...He doesn't have his beloved Beret anymore, though.

may or may not show the picture to anyone. He might trade people for it, after all he just obtained a nice hat from Switzerland for thiis--

--thing, it must be valuable.

*this

wishes him luck with getting nice things, then. Time to get a new hat.
