Ah, some time to relax again... 
Have you been that busy?
oui :c
Should I ask with what? (Look, he didn't say 'whom', okay)
with work, as always 
but now I can relax, for the moment
but now I can relax, for the moment
Your work always seems a little confusing to me
How so?
Well you do some things like a lord or king would, but you also have a boss that does them as well?
... something like that, oui! that's right.
I still cannot imagine how frustrating that must be at times.
You get used to it after a while. 
How long is a while for you?
are you being facetious... 
No, I really am curious.
Does time seem... different to you?
that's harder to explain... I'm not really certain!
I suppose you wouldn't be able to compare it to anything
I don't know if you could imagine living five hundred years without aging much, but if you can try, that may help.
....When I think of 500 years, I always remember that America-san has not even lived that long...
Not really... Justice would, but time is different in the Fade.
He wasn't really aware of how long it was.
It didn't mean as much to him.
oui, I can grasp that...
Isn't it strange to think about, Japon? He and Mattie are still so young. 
If I can find time to relax, you can as well.
Try, for me?
Gladly!
Yes...it's a little odd, to be honest...
...Can you not tell them that you will consider their proposals and return an answer at a later date?
/snort
welcome to the world of Japon's most efficient diplomacy.
.... 
...Oh, that is easy.
Reject 3D.
They will stop coming by after awhile.
... he has his own particular way of speaking, mademoiselle
By delving into the world of 2D and rejecting that of 3D, one can keep unwanted suitors at arm's length
The body remains pure and untouched.
...but your heart may get a little dirtied...
eh let me see if I can translate...
...3D is much more terrifying however.
"Read more pornography."
oui, that's it.
.................................. 
N-no! That isn't it!
That isn't it at all...!
... is this Isabela I've heard so much of?
merde, Kiku. Paper is nothing compared to the real experience, you know that.
....I do not know what you are referring to.
But I suppose if anyone were to need advice on such things, France-san would be the most knowledgable.
Now you're making sense, ami.
I still suggest simply telling them you will consider their proposals and answer at a later date.
Just be sure never to specify the date.
....That...could work as well...
... this is why I refuse to marry...
....marriage
What a depressing thought...
Isn't it? But... we are both strong enough not to resort to that this decade.
Thank goodness...
There are times I am glad for being an island to which marriage is wholly impossible.
Ah, you islands...
It's different, sitting across western Europe.
...Ah. That is true. You are surrounded by the others, aren't you...
Even with the ocean to my north, Angleterre is so close that part of his southern coast can be seen on a clear day.
It is like me and Korea-san then.
Well if you don't mind spending time elbow-deep in sick Darktowners, then I don't mind the company.
Help the sick! They need the assistance.
Nobles can find their spouses elsewhere.
They will survive. The sick may not.
That and I'm more than happy to keep the nobles from you.
The situation seems to be at a happy conclusion then.
Hah, careful. You might give those nobles the wrong idea about me.
Taking time to relax is always a nice thing to do.
