in the same flower shop, he picked up a few sunflowers, intending to buy them.

about to reach for the bouquet of sunflowers when the other took it first before her. She pouted. That was the last one.

stops when he notices the other hand. "Ah.." He looked at her. uh-oh! She looked sad! "Did you want these..?"

gazes back while nodding slowly. "..Da, but it is fine. You got it first." She sighs, looking around and trying to find a new flower to buy.

frowns a bit trying to think. "Ah..." He hummed and mulled things over in his mind. "I know! I'll buy it and you can have half of the _

flowers!" He smiled thinking the situation worked pretty well.

looks back to him and blinks with a happy smile. "Will you? Ah! I will pay for my share then, da?" She clasps her hands, looking hopeful.

She really wanted sunflowers. Even just one would be enough for her really.

shakes his head. "Nyet, I can pay~" He smiled. "It isn't that much." He didn't want her money.

tilts her head before shaking it. "Nyet, as how you said. It is not that much, da? So I can pay you easily. And I do not like owing someone_

especially when I do not know them, da?" She takes out her wallet and gets the amount she needed.

sighs slightly, he didn't need the money from her though... "But?" He tried to protest but it was his turn at the register, he quickly paid_

for the flowers and stepped out of the way to divide the flowers. "Also, what is your name?" He tilted his head and smiled.

frowns when he paid for the flowers quickly. She still insisted though in paying for her half by handing the money over to him. "... Anya._

Anya is my name. Ochen preeyatno. What is your name?"

tries not to accept the money by adjusting his scarf then sorting the flowers. "Ahh pretty name." He smiled at her. "Ivan Braginski."

frowns again as she shoves the money onto his scarf. It was just a few changes, why was he stubborn? "Spasibo. Your name is quite nice_

too. It is funny though." She states. "... our last names have a similar sounding to it. Braginski."

raises an eyebrow. "Ah, really? You are Anya Braginski?" He heard the Prussian girl talk about her, he hadn't even noticed her put the_

change in his scarf.

giggled a bit when her action was left unnoticed. "Nyet, not Braginski. Anastasia Braginskaya. That is my full name."

nods to her. "Oh.." He couldn't help but smile sadly at the name Anastasia. "Ah.. Strange question.. But are you Russia?"

's giggle faded as she looks at him suspiciously. "... Why do you ask?"

notices the suspicious look, he raised his hands slightly as he offered the sunflowers as a peace offering. "Because. I am Russia too."

blinks at this and tilts her head. She leaned close to look at his face more closely. They did have the same eyes. Her hands lifts up and_

squishes her counterpart's cheeks before pinching his nose. She giggles and smiles. "You are Russia too?"

Tries not to make faces as she squished his cheeks, he crinkled his nose as she pinched it. "Da~ I am, so you are Russia?" he smiled.

pulls her hands away and stood straight with a nod. "Da~ I am Mother Russia. It is strange to find a male version of me."
