stood right behind him and whispers by his ear. "I think you should get the jawbreaker, da?"

squeaks and turns to Anya. "W-Why a j-jawbreaker?"

smiles at him. "Why *not* a jawbreaker? Da?"

shrugs. "I d-don't r-really like jawbreakers. They m-make my j-j-jaw s-sore."

giggles. "That is the purpose of it! Hence they name it jawbreaker, da?"She examines him. "Would the huge candy even fit inside your mouth?"

looks away. "N-Not r-r-really. I've t-tried b-before."

smiles. "Would you care to re-enact how you tried before?" She pretty much says this as an order to him.

nods nervously, knowing when he is being ordered. Even when the order is given in the form of a question. He takes one of the jawbreakers

and quickly buys it before returning to Anya and trying to stuff the giant piece of candy in to his mouth.

watches in amusement ast the Latvian tries to get the candy inside his mouth, knowing he was struggling."Shall I help?" She grins deviously.

shakes his head, not liking that grin Anya is exhibiting. He still can't quite get his mouth to open wide enough to fit even half of it in.

the Latvian should know she does not take nyet for an answer. She holds Latvia's head while trying to push the candy inside roughly.

makes a stifled sound of protestation, his jaw feeling like it might fall off. He flails about desperately, now just wanting to rid himself

of the candy.

frowns when the candy would not budge at all. "You have such small jaws, Latvia. You should really grow, da?"

takes the candy out of his mouth, wiping the spit that had leaked out with the back of his hand. "I c-c-can't d-do anything about that."

smiles. "Sure you can! All you need is a little bit of stretching, da?"

looks up at Anya in shock, taking a couple steps away from her. "Ivan t-t-tried that. It d-didn't w-work. And it r-really, r-really hurt."

blinks and giggles. "Ivan did that to you? And it did not work? Now that will not do! We should find an alternative way, da?"

whimpers quietly. "C-Can't I j-j-just s-stay sh-short?"

taps her fingers on her lips and shaking her head. "Nyet. You do not want to grow taller?" She looks around and finds something, grinning.

unnerved when Anya starts grinning. "I think I'd p-prefer it t-to whatever it t-takes to m-m-make me t-tall."

frowns. "But at your age, you should be at least a few inches taller, da?" And the grin is back as she points to a certain device inside_

the candy store. "How about that? Would it help stretch your body longer? I think that is taffy, da? The candy?"

stares at the taffy puller in absolute horror while shaking in his shoes. "A-Anya, p-p-please d-d-don't p-put me on that. P-P-P-Please."

giggles at the way he was shaking like a leaf. "Why not? We should take every chances we pass in order for you to grow taller, da?"

looks down at the floor. "I th-think it m-m-might k-k-kill m-m-me."

about that. "Do you think a mere machine can kill a nation such as you?"

shrugs. "It c-c-could p-pull m-me in half."

looks over at the puller. "Do you see the taffy being pull in half? Nyet, I do not think so." She smiles.

sighs, wondering how to make Anya understand. "I'm n-n-not s-stretchy like the t-taffy. It'll r-really h-hurt m-me."

looks over at him and analyzes his body. "Can you reach your toes?"

bends over and touches his toes.

smiles and claps. "See? You are stretchy! I am positive Lithuania cannot reach his toes! So you are stretchy!"

stands up again. "I'm j-just f-f-flexible and short. P-People as a r-rule aren't s-stretchy."

nods. "Da! That is why you can easily fit in that puller, da? You are short to begin with! It will help you grow longer!"

backs away from Anya, trying to find a good route out of the candy store so he can split. "I think I'm f-f-fine the way I a-am..."

pouts a bit. "I am only thinking what is best for you, da?"She pulls out a lollipop from the container.

finally gets a straight shot for the door and runs, still frightened over whatever else Anya may have in store.

holds her arm out by the door, blocking any attempt escape as she licks on the lollipop. Where are you going?"

stops just before he runs face-first into Anya's arm. "H-Home. I j-just r-r-remembered that I had t-to take c-care of s-s-something..."

leans down and smiles at him. "But you have not bought any candy yet, da?"

holds up the jawbreaker. "I b-bought this."

smiles. "Oh so you listened to my suggestion then, da? I will buy you more of that candy then!" She pulls Latvia by the aisle again, taking

two more jawbreakers for him. "This will be sufficient enough, da?"

nods. "Th-Thank you."

smiles and pays for the candy, taking another lollipop for herself. "You want one, Latvia?"

doesn't really want Anya to buy things for him. "N-No thank you. I d-don't want t-t-to b-be a b-bother."

laughs a bit and pats his head. "Nyet, you are not a bother, Latvia. You are very amusing and entertaining as a company."

nods and scratches that back of his head. "Th-

Thank you I g-g-guess..."

(ENTER BUTTON. IT HATES ME.)

(I HAVE MY ENTER FAILS TOO.)

giggles as she hands him over the additional candy. "Now, let us get going, da?" She smiles.

holds his candy to his chest to make sure he drops nothing. "I r-really should b-b-be g-getting home, though..."

nods. "Da, I know! We should head towards your home now, da?"

starts licking one of the jawbreakers, thinking it would be the easiest way to manage it. "Y-Yeah.:

"*

smiles as they head out of the candy store, heading towards the Latvian's house.

walks towards his house, preferring to keep silent.

licks on her lollipop during the walk. "What is it that you have to do that is so urgent, Latvia?"

tries to not seem flustered as he comes up with an excuse. "I... Uh.. A-Anime! I f-forgot to r-record this a-anime that the g-girl Korea

introduces m-m-me t-t-to."

blinks a bit. "Ah you mean Soo Yeon? And anime?" She wonders what that was.

nods again. "Y-Yeah."

hums. "What is this anime you speak of, Latvia?"

doesn't even pause in giving Anya the name. "To Aru Majutsu no Index."

blinks in confusion. "To ... A-ru... ma--- what?"

shrugs. "It's j-japanese."

nods. "And what is it about?"

(...*goes to look it up on wikipedia*)

( XDDDDDDDDDD )

scratches the back of his head, trying to think of a good description. "It's.. Um.. About this k-kid named T-Toma, who l-lives in this

( OMG YOU REALLY LOOKED IT UP XD )

f-futuristic city where s-science and m-magic work t-together. He m-meets this girl and they g-go on adventures. And s-stuff."

(YEAH. I DID. XD)

blinks and smile curiously. "Hmm interesting. I am intrigued. Come! We watch this anime, da?"

sighs and nods. "S-Sure."

smiles as they get to the Latvian's house. "Open the door." Again, mostly sounding like an order.

scrambles to unlock his front door, hands shaking under imagined pressure. It takes a moment, but he does get his door open.

smiles sweetly as she pats him on the head. "You must be so cold, da? Shivering like that, Latvia."

simply nods, not wanting to offend Anya. "Y-Yeah. I'll j-just g-go g-get a b-b-blanket or s-something."

nods as well, still smiling. "Go do that, da? We do not want you getting sick, da?"

takes a throw off of a rack of blankets in the corner. "We c-can s-sit on the c-couch if you want." He says, getting the remote out.

( man I am still sleepy this morning... I misread that as 'throws self off the corner' >w>

giggles and teases him. "Why? Were you expecting me to sit on the floor, Latvia. That is not nice for you to do, da?"

(xD)

shakes his head. "I d-didn't m-mean that! I w-was j-j-just t-trying trying t-to b-be p-p-polite!"

giggles even more as she sits down by the couch. "I was just teasing you, Latvia. But.. if you did make me sit on the floor, I might have_

to hurt you.... just kidding!"

goes pale, nodding silently and he sits down next to Anya and turns on the TV, changing the channel.

leans back at the couch, while her eyes looks at the TV. She hums quietly as she waits.

finds the correct channel and sets the remote down, waiting for it to begin.

looks at the TV and blinks, seeing the show starting. "Does this have some sort of subtitles?"

nods. "Y-Yeah. It's English, th-though."

frowns a bit but nods. "Very well then. I think it would be best if it were Russian though."

scratches the back of his head. "They're b-broadcasting it w-with English, s-so there's n-n-nothing I c-can do about it."

shrugs and thinks. "I shall have to do something with that then, da?" She grins a bit cheeky.

looks at Anya in surprise. "D-D-Do what?"

hushes him with a finger and smiles. "Be quiet, da? The show is starting."

goes back to watching the television. "S-S-Sorry."

( I haven't seen this anime, so I wouldn't have a clue XD)

stares at the TV and feeling oddly strange by this anime Latvia wanted to watch.

(Don't worry, I haven't seen it either. I just looked at the wikipedia page)

( I will just be confused then =u= )
