there is even a counterpart here, and it would be a waste if she didn't have someone to give it to. Therefore, she is wondering_

around like a lost person would.

on his way home from dinner when he spotted her. "Excuse me, miss?"

turns around a bit surprised. However, she smiles at the other a moment later. "Ah, yes?"

tilts his head. "Are you lost? Maybe I can help."

laughs a bit. "Oh, I'm not. I just in a bit of a conundrum." She pauses thinking a bit. "You seem familiar though... Is it your_

birthday today?" She was pretty sure she could be right about this or else she wouldn't ask.

blinks at her, seeming amazed. "Ah, how did you know?"

"I know someone who seems a bit like you, and it's her birthday today. From what I have learned you might be her counterpart. You are_

Lithuania perhaps?"

he knows who this is now... "That's right, and you're Estonia's counterpart...aren't you?"

smiles. "Yes, that's true. I'm Evelin, and these would be my present for you." She holds out the flowers knowing that even if she_

find the other counterpart, she can always get more.]

smiles brightly at this. He was happy to meet her. "Thank you very much. This was very kind."

"You're welcome. It's only a small thing for someone so nice." It's easy to tell she truly means this not she is using her usual flattery.

appreciates it regardless. He holds the flowers close. It was nice having more...sisters? "You don't have to use flattery with me, we have_

gone through a lot together, you know? Well...sort of anyway."

didn't try to default. It just happens with men she doesn't exactly know. "Yes, I know, but that wasn't supposed to be flattery. Just the_

truth."

pleased then. "I would have gotten you something in return had I known."

“I don't expect anything in return. It is -your- birthday after all.” She may or may not be suggesting of what day is coming next week_

if he does want to get her a gift.

be sure to get her a gift. He laughs lightly. "Well, I'll buy you something nice next week. A lady deserves something special."

being called a "lady" ,so she might be smiling a bit more. “If it's from you, I bet I will like it.”

so. "Our tastes are so different...But I am sure I'll find you something."

“You should know... 'me' enough that it shouldn't matter that much.”

chuckles a bit. "Well, I assume there might be some differences. But not enough to affect the choice much, yeah?"

“I would think there must be differences. However I haven't met him, so I wouldn't quite know. But, yes, hopefully.”

pulls out a flower from the bouquet, making the stem a bit shorter. He approaches her, gently tucking it into her hair. "I hope_

to see you more in the future." He smiles, "I haven't seen Estonia in a while, so it was nice to speak with you."

Well that had surprised Evelin, but she remains composed if not blushing a bit. “I hope to see you more as well..”

a flower in her hair suited her. "Call me any time if you need anything, okay?" He worried about these girls.

"Yes, I will." She probably will be saving this flower as well. No reason to waste anything nice.

relieved to hear her say that. "Even if it's just because you're lonely. I'll come."

laughs inwardly. She has her own ways to get company. However, a little part of her... "I appreciate that.

just a good guy like that. He was looking out for her. He smiles at her words. "Would you like to accompany me for coffee or something?"

wouldn't expect any less. "Yes, I would. Coffee does sound good."

glad she agreed. He was tired and there was still a bit more in the day. "Then, shall we?" He started in the direction of a coffee shop he_

knew of.

follows Lithuania to where he may lead her. She still is learning her way around.

leads her into a peaceful shop, pulling out a chair for her.

still down quietly and thanks him.

takes his seat after her. "Have you been here long?"

"No, I came here just before Friend's Day."

smiles a little. "Were you surprised? I hope you weren't too startled."

"Not much. A little lost, but I found Raivis just after coming here."

a little relieved. At least it wasn't France. "Good, I hope he was helpful in explaining."

would have no trouble with France little to Lithuania's knowledge. "A bit. I didn't ask much anyways. I like finding my own way around_

sometimes."

chuckles a little. It was like her to want to solve things on her own. "I suppose I should have expected no less from you."

smiles. "You don't know me exactly, so I would expect you to know that for sure."

orders himself a black coffee. "It's been a while, but it's coming back."

orders a cappuccino. "How long is 'a while'?"

not really sure. "A couple months? I see him at meetings, but we have not sat down and really spoken without it being about business in a _

while."

understands that. "I guess that he really focuses on work, right?"

smiles a bit sadly. "He is dedicated, but it is doing him good."

sees the change in expression. "I bet he still cares about you though." She at least hopes or will have to put some sense into her

counterpart.

sips his coffee when it arrives. "We were all so different, but. I did enjoy becoming closer to him and Latvia even if it was under less_

than desirable circumstances."

barely smiles. "Yes, it was rather nice for what was going on. It was better to know each other than not at all.

nods to this. "...Latvia made us siblings in some way I guess." No matter how awkward that was.

agrees with that. "Always in between the two of us in a good way. I don't we could really would meet as we would have with her... well for_

your case him."

nods. "We're all too different. It would have been harder to bond with out his bluntness."

giggles a bit. "Yes. Her very adorable bluntness." Yes, it was Evelin's goal in life to make sure all cute things would be called such.

Evelin is cute, did that count? "I just hope my Latvia is okay. He has seemed a little...depressed?" More so than normal.

would count it only if she said it, and she not so self-centered to say that. "Really? Do you think you know why?" Cause she worries.

shakes his head. "No idea..."

pouts a bit. “That's troublesome. I should find out why. I rather not let him be sadden.” Should... must... no difference.

takes a sip of his coffee before speaking up again. "I do hope that you'll be all right here though...I don't see any reason why you _

wouldn't though..." He was just worrying over...everything.

responds by smiling. “Don't worry so much. I've been find so far, and I do pretty well taking care of myself.” You know... when it doesn't_

include invasions.

nods a bit. "Just...remember now there's two of every scary person out there."

“And there is two of every person who would help me if I need it.”

smiles a little at that. "Well, that is also true."

"See? Worry a little less. It'll be better for you." Though it is somewhat sweet.

just naturally drawn to worrying. "I'll try not to." He was happy in a way. There were more people to spend time with. Less being lonely.

that she accomplished something even if it probably would effect much. “You better.”

notices that is has begun to snow. "We should probably head home before this gets any heavier."

takes a look out the window to see that is indeed snowing. She nods in agreement and pays for both of them without a second thought.
