sighs a little as one of his puppies ran ahead of him jumping onto the girl sitting at the park bench. " I'm sorry." He_

_ states after catching up to it.

had her eyes closed taking a breather when a puppy was suddenly in her lap. She blinks down at it before smiling and petting it. "Oh hello-

there." she says to it. She looks up at the man running after him. "Oh no problem really." She says.

nods a little and smiles at that. " Ilya seems to like you a lot, Miss."

looks back down at the puppy. "Oh is that his name? How sweet." She gives the dog another scratch behind the ears before holding him out-

to him.

nods and notices her bike. " So I'm guessing you were biking earlier?"

nods. "Yes, I thought I'd get in some nice exercise today."

smiles at that. " It must be great to be so young." He chuckles.

makes and face and pretends to huff. "Well, I'll take that as a compliment."

blinks at it. " Ah, I do apologize if that sounded rude. It's just my silly old musings."

smiles at her. "Why you don't look any older than me." She replies.

shakes his head. " Yes, but I seem to be feeling the aching and joint pains like an old person does."

nods understanding. "Well then, should I treat you like an older citizen?"

chuckles. " You can if you wish. I have no qualms about that."

"I shall treat you very respectfully then!" she declares with a bit of a laugh.

smiles. " Just call me Dmytro." He nods lightly.

"Nice to meet you then Dmytro. I'm Belgium but you can call me Emma is you want."

nods once. " It's nice to see a fellow nation around. I'm also known as Ukraine but just refer to me as Dmytro to avoid confusion."

nods. "Ah that would make sense. It's always nice to meet other nations."

picks up his other puppy and seats himself beside her. " Indeed after so many things have occured."

leans back against the bench. "Yes it's been lively hasn't it?"

looks ahead. " Yes, I am quite surprised at it as well."

"It's not been a bad thing though." She says with a smile.

nod at that. " That's certainly a relief."

tilts her head looking over at him. "Oh?"

smiles. " Yes, who knows what would have occurred if something disastrous happened."

about it for a moment. "That's true, I suppose it could have gone horribly wrong. Thankfully though most everyone seems to be getting along"

agrees with that wholeheartedly. " Indeed."

turns to him. "You seem very laidback though."

blinks at that and looks at her. " Am I? Perhaps it's from the constant workload that I don't find time to relax."

looking a bit surprised. "Ah so you work a lot...A lot of us do it seems."

smiles. " Yes, it's quite tedious making everyday seem quite long." He chuckles at that.

laughs along with him. "Yes, long days aren't so bad though. I like my day to be filled with activities."

looks over to her. " Miss Belgium, what would you do on a typical day out of curiosity?"

surprised by the question. "Well, I tend to my garden, I do any paperwork I have, I try to deal with things going on in my nation. Then if-

I have time I spend it with my friends."

smiles at that. " That sounds wonderful."

"It's rather nice." She admits.

nods lightly in agreement before looking at his puppies. Today was a nice day.

blinks down at the puppies herself. "Are all of them yours?" She ask pointing to the adorable things.

blinks at the question and then nods. " Yes, these two belong to me. They were adopted not too long ago."

"I see" She comments. "How nice of you to adopt them."
