outside. He has a suggestion. Canada can figure out a way to make this place warmer.

doesn't think that's a good idea. It probably wouldn't be good for the environment.

knows it wouldn't be. He only suggested Canada would go figure out a way not really go ahead and do that.

doesn't even want to figure it out in the fear that someone like his brother would find it and use it.

Canada made a valid point. Now he should let him in, he was cold.

notices him outside and walks to the door, opening it and looking out. "Hello...?"

steps closer to the open door. "Ah. Canada it has been a while." He is being nice and doing the visiting thing.

nods. "It has. Do... you want to come in? It's fairly cold."

waiting for the invitation. "Yes. I would love to come in."

steps aside for him. "Come in then..."

steps inside having a look around. He removes his shoes near the door. "I hope I am not disturbing you."

shakes his head and shuts the door behind him. "No, not at all."

glad to be inside. He rubs his hands together trying to warm them up. "You have a nice place."

nods. "Thank you...." He watched him almost disbelievingly. He rarely got guests and couldn't help but wonder if Daniel had mistaken him for

his brother.

knows that Canada is Canada despite popular belief that says Canada is America. He can tell them apart now if he pretends at times not to be

able to, that is a different story. "It is much better than mine, really."

frowns. "Your house is nice as well."

doesn't have a house. He has an apartment of sorts. He guesses that if he had America visit, America could not stay at his place but Canada

could because Canada would not move around and be loud. "It is acceptable."

shakes his head. "No, it really is nice." He didn't mind apartments but he did tend to get a bit claustrophobic in big cities.

Canada would not tell an outright lie so he must be telling the truth. "For one person to live in."

pauses before nodding. "At least it keeps things from being too messy."

shakes his head. "That is not true at all times. It is hard to keep so many things in a small space."

"I guess that's true..." His house was always messy and cluttered so he assumed that an apartment wouldn't be.

acquires items so things would accumulate at times. "I suppose I should not buy unnecessary things."

nods. "I need to stop doing that as well..."

"Well when it gets to be a bit of a habit. I can stop though." That is he can stop when he wants to and he really should.

"Maybe we can work together to stop getting as much stuff."

it over. "Perhaps but I am not sure that would work out so well."

tilts his head. "Why not?"

doesn't want to tell Canada the truth. How he will try to make Canada buy all sorts of useless things if given the chance. "Timezones?"

shakes his head. "I wouldn't mind. I'm on the computer a lot..."

sure that even if he did attempt to help Canada it would be no good through the internet.

can still hope.

guesses he can until Canada spots one of those internet ads.

what kind of ad?

referring to the ones that try to sell people stuff.

seen those before.... and may have gotten stuff because of them...

guesses Canada has seen them before he did not know Canada got caught by those ads. "I suppose we can try then."

nods. "Okay, I think this will work."

doesn't really think it will but maybe Canada did not really want to give up his habit. "Perhaps finding a hobby would be a better

solution?"

pauses. "I.. I think the problem is I have too many hobbies..."

"Take shopping out and that is one less hobby." He honestly had no idea what kind of hobbies Canada had.

liked a lot of sports and random hobbies. He nods. "I guess that's true."

only knows about Canada and his hockey. In fact he hired a lot of Canadians for his own team. "You can use the others to distract yourself."

sighs. "Maybe that would work..."

Canada does not sound very confident. "If you do not believe you can then you already gave up."

nods and gives a more determined expression. "You're right, I have to try my best."

nods. "Then keeps the idea clear in your mind. You will find a way to succeed... if not I can show you a place you can get a lot of stuff

real cheap." He adds the last part in a whisper.

blinks for a moment before shaking his head. "No, I will stay focused."

"You have passed the first test then but remember there will be more temptations along the way." He was actually just giving in and trying

to sell stuff to Canada.

might have nearly given in. He nods seriously. "I'll stay strong."

actually impressed. Just a bit. "I believe that now."

smiles faintly. "Thanks."

"You do not have to thank me but it was nice to see you again."

"It was nice to see you, too."

knows they did not spend much time together but it had been nice. "I should be going."

blinks. "Oh, okay. Good bye~ Have a safe trip."

"Thank you. I will make the next visit longer okay." He gives him a wave before slipping on his shoes and running off.

watches him go, waving and smiling.

come see him another time for sure.

look forward to it.
