it's all fine and good, mind. They seem to be particularly steady all things considered but...

well, that and when he defended their relationship, lad did me proud.

yes, but still, neither of them are.... mature enough for this surely

Now I've... had time to let it sink in, I don't object to them being together, necessarily... but... this seems a bit much

Then again it is France, he's always been a bit much

I'm not worried.... exactly merely... concerned

true. but the boy's incredibly soft underneath that.... well....exterior. There are no words to describe it.

what if something happens-- yes

Sometimes I don't mind it all but if it's done recklessly well

I'm just annoyed because we'll have to clean up the mess as always

Dibs on America.

f-fine, have the slobbering idiot

At least France can be calmed with some wine

you've got the tougher end of the deal entirely..........

sorry, old chap, you've got to be quick.

WELL, not my fault you fixate on the little shit!

Hardly. France sobs like... well, a Frenchman.

an unsightly sight

I do not fixate! I just try to keep him in line. people still associate him with us.

He is a bit of our progeny in a way so...

At least America will pretend he's fine. I just have to make sure he doesn't try to 'help' other countries and start any more wars.

please don't let him warmonger

well this is if the worst comes to pass I suppose

or the best?

who knows. Should we try to break them up peacefully?

No, no, I don't want to even get involved in that mess

so we wait for them to.... crash and burn, so to speak. I wonder how long it'll take. He.... he IS capable of being in relationships....

Could be a considerable while, I wonder if America can manage to keep him...

.....

hey

so.

you're me, I'm you.

I certainly...am fond of Paris, likely in the same way as you so... I suppose you feel the way I do? A little.

It's perfectly silly, of course.

... go on

well, it's just that..... it never seemed so simple, did it?

or HE never did.

before.

with us.

...!! Oh!

right, well

everybody finds him so bloody attractive and charming

but we only ever got the ugly side

We're on to him

well, it's just a... silly thing

it's dreadfully annoying

isn't it, though?

this is why we ought to not pay him any mind unless it's getting into our busienss

quite

let them have those silly rings

... they are rather... fetching

and them what with their infatuation with shiny things I suppose it's a childish thing on their part

the sun is far too showy.

but I'm fond of the moon ring.

It is... rather nice.

...I'm not buying you one and don't you dare do anything rash with Paris

we can't marry cities.

I wouldn't!

... people tend to get sick of us soon enough anyway

then you're an idiot

my word....we do live a long time, don't we

let them get sick of us

better that than to stagnate

that we do
