Thank you very much. I brought you a gift, I hope you like it.

They're...butter tarts. I'm a fan of your cuisine also

Those look so delicious, maman is so proud of you~!

Oh, maman...eh I...thank you

Is that..eh..picture (?) supposed to be me?

sorry, no that's me and my "Nomz" face. The butter tarts look/sound like some good eats

Who?

H-hi, it's me...Canada

....

C-canada?

Ehm, is there a problem? I'm...from your world too. I guess I'm really not that noticeable as I thought...

I haven't seen you though. Do you attend the world meetings?

I do. But somehow no one seems to notice me there

Are you sure? I haven't seen you in any of them though. I would have noticed.

Yes...eh, well I'm not really a talkative type. Maybe that's why?

Perhaps. But I do have a vague memory of seeing a little bear in the meetings.

Oh, maybe that was my Marie People do see her first before they see me

Oh dear me, I'm sorry. This must be upsetting you.

No, it's fine. I'm quite used to it. It's not the first time it has happened. Maybe I should try being more like Maman...

But you are like Maman~! So pretty, so cute~!

Roshiko Mon dieu, my daughter attends. She usually comes in after Emily does.

Dear me, Meg, we don't need another one like her. I will try to notice you more

Its hard to see her after Emily's "flashy" entrance.

Yes, ehm...I don't like being the centre of attention anyway. Meetings are supposed to be about discussing things and not...showing off

I'll make sure to introduce her to you during the next meeting, so you'd be properly acquainted with how beautiful ma fille is~!

Mon dieu, that too is true ma chere fille~!

That would be appreciated Frani!

Well, we sometimes need to be beautiful during meetings, don't we?

I wonder if I can sneak into these "meetings". Sounds like interesting stuff

I beg to disagree.

I don't beg to, let them pretty themselves up. That doesn't trouble me at all

You find the meetings interesting?

pretty...I'd like to see Iceland "pretty" himself up

I don't find the meetings interesting, no. But there's more to do at meetings than listen

Ja. Looking is also an option. And for some, sleeping

Those are a few activities, yes. Indeed.

There are also those endless arguments.

Fighting can be such great fun

I must admit, it is amusing to watch

My pleasure to oblige

though admittedly these days they're nothing spectacular.

Ja. Perhaps its the economy?

No it's these bloody alliances

That too. It makes things a little boring

Complicated, politically correct, meddlesome

That is so true. Being politically correct is so bothersome to us.

I'll sneak you in Roxy~!

really?

Oui~!

wheeeeee! thank you

uwaa~ those tarts look very nice Meg. xiexie~

I want to meet Meg too, aru~

FrancineB: is there a dress code for these meetings?

You're welcome, miss Chun-Yan I can give you more if you really like them. Ehm..they're quite famous around here

O-oh, you want to meet me? Well maybe during the next meeting...or if you want, we can visit each other's houses sometime?

But, ehm..only if that's okay with you

Yes, visit Nene! So Nene can meet you finally!
