had found out that Rozalija had finally shown up and went to go see her rather excited to finally see her for the first time in months.
isn't expecting any company, but will doubtlessly be ecstatic to see her friend.
Evelin
is
knocking at her door. She would have called and told the other she was coming over, but after trying to call before and was unable to_
because inter-dimensional calling wasn't exactly possible yet, she probably forgot to even try that.
jumps in surprise at the sound of her door going, not even bothering to put down her mug before going to answer it in quick haste, despite -
not knowing who it is on the other side.
smiles brightly seeing the other as the door opens. "Tere~"
almost drops her cup in shock and the smile that's suddenly on her face almost matches the other girls'. "Evelin! Sveiks!" She steps out _
of the way to let her friend in, still beaming at Estonia.
enters the house with an urge to hug the other in joy, but the cup was blocking her from doing that. "How have you been?"
"I've been really good, you?" The smile won't budge from her face and she puts the cup down on the table, leading her friend into the main _
room. Rozalija also wants to hug the other girl, but her self-restraint is stopping her from doing so.
"I've been rather well," she says before taking the opportunity to hug the other. "I was though a bit worried about you." That might be an_
understatement though.
"That's good." She replies, then thinks it over. "I mean, g-good that you've been well, not that you've been worried..." Mentally berating _
herself for not thinking her words through better, she guestures to her very overstuffed couch. "You can sit down if you like. Would you _
like anything to drink?"
smiles lightly able to understand what the other said meant before she explained it. She was actually a bit more content in just holding_
the other for a bit more, but she releases her grasp instead to sit down. "No, thank you. I'm fine."
nods awkwardly and sits down next to Evelin, smoothing out her own skirt in the process. "Have I missed much?" She was all too aware of _
how long it'd been since they'd last spoken.
nods a bit. "Quite a bit actually. Where would you like to start off on that? The parallel world we're currently in, the fact this world_
contains nations quite similar to us but are opposite in gender, the relationships going on here, or the drama that I believe might be_
going on? Actually don't ask about the last one since that's only a feeling I have." Though that was a rather strong feeling.
"So this is... two worlds together?" She guesses, not all too sure of what the other was trying to say. "And there's a boy version of me_
and a boy version of you?" That sounds utterly far fetched to her, that there was almost a copy of her running around.
"Yep, exactly that, though I'm not sure if this is worlds coming together." She smiles lightly. "I haven't had the chance to meet the male_
me yet; however, the male Latvia is adorable."
"How similar are we?" She doesn't mean to be so nosy or somewhat self-obsessed, but the idea just makes her want to fire _
off endless questions about her other self. How similar were they, was he friendly, did they have the same history, or was _
that different? It's a comforting, albeit eerie, thought that someone might have been through all the same things as her. _
Exactly the same things as her.
thinks about it for a minute. "He's pretty similar to you. I don't think I know enough about him to say how similar you two are besides_
things like you two look like you could be siblings."
Wow..." Rozalija had always wanted a sibling, and even though she had her honorary sisters, it just wasn't the same. At least now, she _
could maybe have an honorary brother, too. "So, there's opposite sexes of us and our friends running around. Does anything else _
weird happen?" She's aware that all she's doing is bombarding her friend with questions.
doesn't mind being asked questions really. "Well, nothing else has been too strange has been going on besides that. I mean there has been_
more going on, but at least it seems to actually have explainable causes."
"I see." She lapses into silence, having known that there was something different about the world she was now in, but now she knows more _
about it she doesn't really mind too much. "So how did you know I was here?"
"I've been keeping a few tabs, and little bird tell me you were here finally." Whether she was talking of a literal bird or a metaphorical_
was anyone's guess. "I felt I needed to come over as soon as you got here especially because of all the time that has past." If she_
_remembered, this was the longest they went with talking to each other since the 1930s when she didn't talk to anyone for a period of time.
smiles, a little sadly. "It has been a while, hasn't it?" Still, it was over now and hopefully they would be able to keep in better contact_
now that they were actually in the same realm instead of split and completely unable to speak to one another.
nods lightly. She was definitely going to make sure they did keep better contact.
"How long have you been here?" she hadn't been keeping track of exactly how long it was since they'd last spoken, _
but she knew, in her head, that it'd been far too long.
Evelin
thinks
back a bit. "Nearly eight months now. I got here just before Friends' Day back in February."
Rozalija
is
completely taken aback at that. "That's so much longer than I thought."
rubs the back of her neck. "Yeah, I can't believe myself I've been here so long. Sometimes I feel like I haven't went to another world_
though."
"Is Lietuva here? Wendy?" They were, really, the only other people that she was concerned about.
"I know that Wendy is here, but I haven't seen Leedu yet. Soome doesn't seem to be here either." Actually she was sure all the Nordics were_
here except her best friend.
As annoying as Wendy could sometimes be, Rozalija was looking forward to seeing the younger girl already, now that she knew the other was _
here too. "Hopefully they'll show up soon."
"I hope they do. It would be nice to have everyone at one place again." Eve rather missed them.
"Indeed. It's been strange with so many people missing. World meetings have certainly been... Different." They certainly had been, if only _
because there had been a lot less bickering than usual.
"I can understand that. World Meetings aren't exactly the same here either." For the opposite reason, the world meetings seem to become_
even more hectic than usual due to the increase in nations (even if some nations take turns of who goes to the meetings).
"Is, uh..." She lowers her voice, looking around nervously. "Is Russia here?" If you asked her, she'd deny it, but Rozalija was still very _
frightened of the woman that had dominated her history for the best part of a century.
shakes her head. "Ei, she isn't here. No need to be so nervous."
releases breath that she didn't even realize that she'd been holding. "Thank goodness..." It would be great to spend some time without _
worrying about Russia suddenly popping up and frightening her.
smiles lightly at that just pretty content at this point.
"I missed you a lot." She says honestly, thinking over how difficult the past few months has been without one of her confidants to turn to.
"I missed you too," she replies deciding to giving the younger girl another hug mostly since she could and partly because she really_
missed her as well.
hugs the other girl back, smiling contentedly at how good it felt to be happy and comfortable with someone that meant so much to her _
after so long.
might just be a little too comfortable though and might not let go for a bit... as long as the other doesn't mind too much that is. While_
she wouldn't admit it out right, she had felt a little lonely lately.
Rozalija
has
no plans to let the other go either, and so doesn't have a problem sitting like this for... A long while, at least.
Evelin
is
glad then as she continues to cuddle her with her head lightly rested on the top of the other head. Yep, the younger girl's hair still was_
soft~
laughs for a second at the feeling of the other's breath as it ruffles her hair and puts it in an even worse state of disarray. _
It feels good to laugh and to be carefree, if even only for a moment. "You're messing my hair!" she mock-whines. Really, she doesn't mind.
laughs at that before nuzzling a bit if only to make the hair slightly more messy. "But it's so soft~" she says in a slightly teasing way.
"Of course it's soft! All of me is." Mentally, more than physically. She knows she's soft in the head, and a huge pushover but it's just _
how she is. Even though she wishes she wasn't sometimes, there's not much she feels she can do about it. Still, it seems to be how her _
friends like her, so there's no urgent rush for change.
doesn't think that the other is entirely soft. There had to be some toughness somewhere to make it though to this point. Eve just smiles_
lightly poking Rozalija's cheek and then arm. "Yep, soft and cute~"
"I'm not cute!" she denies, blushing a little and poking Evelin back, digging her fingers into the other girl's waist with a devilish grin.
"Yes, you are~" she says laughing a bit trying to retaliate by poking the other more.
Brows creasing, she wriggles her fingers, letting them squirm up and down her friend's ribs as she searches for a -
particularly ticklish spot.
bits her lip to try to stop laughing at attempt to stop the other from tickling her. However, it really isn't working too well.
notices the lip biting and doubles her efforts, releasing the hug to use both hands in her merciless assault.
can not stop her laughter as the attacked is doubled. She would try to tickle the other back, but instead she tries to defend herself by_
moving towards one side of the couch.
starts giggling at the other's laugh, following her determinedly. She tries to make herself look tall and threatening, but probably fails.
Between laughing and trying to get away, she couldn't really tell if the other looked threatening at all. She finally backs up enough that_
the arm rest blocks her only escape path that doesn't include falling off the couch.
"Aha! Got you now!" She exclaims gleefully, laughing almost uncontrollably herself as she continues in her epic quest to tickle Eve _
until she gives in.
won't be exactly sure what exactly the other want to give in to. "Roza," she barely manages to say as she laughs. "Stop it~"
contemplates not stopping but then does, collapsing in laughter next to Evelin.
's laughter slowly calms some finally being able to breathe. She practically had a smile plastered to her face as some laughter managed_
to escape.
glances at Evelin happily. "It really is good to see you again." although she feels like a broken record repeating herself, she feels like _
her happiness shouldn't be kept to herself.
smiles lightly nodding a bit definitely not minding hearing that again. Her hand idly smooths the other's hair that she had messed up_
_ just barely earlier.
leans against Evelin, not quite hugging her but practically draping herself across the other like a blanket, quite enjoying _
her hair being smoothed. If she was any more relaxed, she'd be purring like a kitten,
would be rather amused if the other did start purring and was glad the other was relaxed. It was always nice to see her this way.
"So, what sort of drama goes on here?" She questions, thinking back to their earlier, initial conversation. _
"Is it worse or better than in our world?" Surely it couldn't be worse, some of the tempers on the other girls could be utterly _
explosive at world meetings.
"I'm not quite sure actually. I mean there have been a few verbal fights, but I think there is more going on then just that. Whatever it is_
, it seems to be worse here." She sighs a bit. "Even being body swapped for a bit didn't seem to cause more drama then there already was."
"Body swapped?!" Rozalija can barely believe her ears. "You're joking, right?" This certainly was a weird place.
"I certainly wish that I was joking. Though Dmytro let me play with the hair he had when we were all switched, so that was fun~" Waking up_
the first day... not so much fun.
"I'm glad I wasn't here for that." She does NOT like the sound of someone else having control of her body. Although, it might have been fun_
seeing everyone run about in other peoples' bodies.
nods lightly. "Yeah, it's probably good that you weren't." It was kind of strange seeing her body walking around...
"So, strange things just happen here? For no reason?" She's rethinking her joy at being here. Even though it's good to be around people she_
missed, it sounded like everyone was just at the mercy of some odd force.
thinks about what has been happening in the past few months. "Not really after those two strange occurrences." Having strange dreams would_
be the next comparable thing, but she usually has strange dreams.
murmurs her reply, "I suppose that's not so bad then." She lapses into silence, looking around her little house. It wasn't as nice as her _
home back in her world, but it was cosy and that's all that mattered. "Thank you for coming round to visit me."
smiles lightly. "You're welcome. I wanted to make sure you were alright."
"You're always so thoughtful." Rozalija was a little jealous at that, wishing she could be as clever and thoughtful as the other girl.
shakes her head slightly. "I think I mostly did this out of worry." She could understand clever, but she felt herself a bit more selfish_
than thoughtful.
"Ah. Well, you shouldn't be worried about me! I can take care of myself." Most of the time, that was.
smiles a bit. "I know you can, but that wouldn't stop me from worrying about you."
"It should!" She jokes, not completely meaning it. Without Evelin and Lithuania to look over her and worry about her, she doesn't know_
where she would be. They'd saved her bacon far more times than just once.
"Then I guess you don't know me well as I thought," she says faking a pout.
"Who are you?" She jokes, looking at Evelin with a confused look on her face.
plays along with this pouting even more. "I'm Estonia, remember? The girl you have known for 800 years and spent around 600 years in the_
same houses."
"Estonia? I can't say that rings any bells..." She looks up to the ceiling as if pondering hard on the other's identity.
"Really? I guess that I need to remind you then. Although I'm not exactly sure how to do that," she says trying to look sadden, but it's_
not very convincing.
"Then I'm afraid that I may live the rest of my life unable to remember who you are." She's trying to hold back yet another smile at the_
other girl's unconvincing sad look.
"That wouldn't be good. I wouldn't want you to forget who I am." She pretends to ponder for a moment before pragmatically smothering the_
younger girl in another hug. "Does this help?"
