spots the boy. Oh look! A fellow nation. "Raivis!" she calls out to the other.

looks up from the collection of arachnids when his name is called. "M-Monaco! Hello."

walks over to the other, so she's not yelling across the store. "Bonjour! What are you doing here?"

motions towards the tarantulas. "I was th-thinking of g-getting a p-pet."

resists the urge to shiver at the tarantulas. "Ah! Same thing here! Tarantulas?"

smiles at the creepy crawlies. "Y-Yeah. They w-way they walk is b-beautiful, isn't it?"

supposes that is one way to look at it. Although he does have a point, they're creepy... but they certainly do walk gracefully. "Oui,

they do walk rather gracefully."

stares at one of the larger ones. "I'm thinking of th-that one. D-Do you think Bartholomew is a g-g-good n-name?"

still resisting the urge to shiver. "You do like them rather... uh... large," she says diplomatically, "Bartholomew is a lovely name though"

takes the case. "I think I w-will g-get him. He's s-so c-cute!"

going to put as much distance between herself and that case. "You have a very unique sense of cute, Latvia."

(pfftt. *knows where the bartholomew thing came from* xDD)

(ILU Russia <3)

(ILU too latvia~ arnt u up late?)

looks down at Bartholomew gleefully. "I know. He's s-still c-cute."

(I don't want to sleep.)

really doesn't get it, but she's going to try and keep an open-mind about this. But mon dieu it just looks so damned creepy! It was going to

come for her! She just knew it! She's starting to wring her hands a little bit. "Ah, yes well... I'm glad your happy with Bartholomew. I

think I'm going to be a tad bit more... traditional and get a cat."

nods distractedly, thinking about the wonderful times he is going to have with his new best friend. "C-Cats are n-nice. When they aren't

t-t-trying t-to c-c-claw my f-face off, that i-is."

frowns a bit. Apparently they have entirely different taste in animals. How completely eye-opening. She tilts her head in interest though.

"It sounds like you've had bad experiences with cats," she remarks.

decides to look in the pet store for a pet too. Wanting a companion.

nods, taking little Bartholomew out of his cage so the spider can wander his new owner's body. "I'm n-not t-t-too g-good with most animals."

goes looking through all the cages, curious to see if he can find a cute pet.

politely scooting away from you, Latvia. You keep that potential poisonous creepy crawler away from her you fiend. "I like cats. And dogs.

I enjoy studying sea creatures, but I'm not particularly a fan of fish." There's something of a haughty sniff, "That would be Seychelles's

area of expertise." From the corner of her eye she spots Russia. She waves him over. He seems like a nice shield between her and

Bartholomew.

got to a particular cage. There was a silvery white snake in it. Russia watched it as it watched him.

giggles quietly as Bartholomew makes his way up Latvia's arm while he listens to Monaco talk. He looks up when Russia is waved over and

a small wave himself just before setting the large spider on top of his head. Bartholomew simply curls up to watch everyone.

too busy watching the snake to pay attention to Latvia. The snake watches back.

shivers a bit at the spider on top of Latvia's head. It was so... big! How could he stand it? And god it was staring into her soul. It was

planning her death. She just knew it. Mon dieu. She didn't want to die by a spider! She notes that Russia hasn't answered either of their

waves. She's about to call over to him... mon dieu is he in the snake section? For the love of god why did the people she know in her have

such /creepy/ tastes in animals! But it's Russia. He's sort of known for that sort of thing after all. Although he does have amazing ballet.

continued watching the snake for a moment. The snake finally moved, sliding over to the glass, looking at Russia. The tall nation blinked

before going to the register to buy the snake. It had somehow won his heart.

reaches up to pet Bartholomew, earning him a very content looking spider. It was then that he realized that yes, Monaco was getting creeped

out. "S-Sorry. I g-guess I should t-take him home s-soon. Get him a-adjusted."

bought the snake and now held it in a cage, having also gotten it a special heated blanket along with a sock like thing to go around it in

the cold. He pulled the snake out and let it slither under his coat, getting warm. He was currently thinking of names for it.

slowly making her way to the cat section. "Er um... sorry about that. I've had... er... bad experiences with spiders in the past. I'm trying

to see the god, but it's being ah... most difficult." She sees that Russia has bought a snake- great another creepy crawlie! She's off to

her adorable kittens. Because she likes *cute* things thankyouverymuch.

completely understands. "I'm g-guessing spiders are your s-sheep." He states, making his way to the exit. "I'll s-see you around!"

decides to name the snake something great. A name that he had heard Japan call snow once. "Shiro~" it ment white and he thought it fit.
