had an awful frown on his face as he tries to find the younger nation. 'Oi! Come do your work you cheeky shit!'

watching him from his hiding spot and trying not to laugh a bit at the frown his brother was sporting.

looks up when he hears leaves rustling, frowning up at his younger brother with his hands on his hips. 'I hope you're enjoying yourself now cause you willnae be in a minute you little git.'

grins down at him as he shifted to climb up higher. "You will 'ave to come get me." He was enjoying this.

rolls up his sleeves, intending just to do that. 'Don't cry when I catch you, this time.

blinks at him as he watched him, he was clinging to his branch now, quite comfortable. "I wont cause you wont be able to get me."

slowly making his way towards the younger nation, 'That's what you say every time.'

sticks his tongue out at him as he moved to climb as high as he could.

starts to get a bit nervous as the branches creak under his weight. He's not about to give up though, hand soon closing around England's ankle and tugging him down.

yelped at that as he tried to hold onto his branch. He frowned down at his brother as he refused to let go.

tugs harder, straddling his own branch for balance. 'You're gonna have to let go eventually, ya know.'

really didn't want to let go of his branch now as he tried to wrap his arms around it.

groans when his arms get around the branch, tugging harder. 'Fucking come on Artie. You need to do yer effin' share you little bastard.'

looked down at him and huffed. "I don't wanna do it right now."

scowls, 'If ye dinnae do it right now the animals will come to our camp again. So bloody dae it you stubborn wee bairn.'

reluctantly let go of the branch and fell down on top of Gregory. "Fine!"

makes a small sound of annoyance when the smaller nation lands on him. 'When did you get so feckin' heavy?'

looks up at him with a glare as he stayed where he was. "I'm not heavy!"

adjusts his hold on the younger nation, ruffling his hair. 'Oh aye? So that's not podge around your middle, huh?'

frowned up at him and pouted a bit at that. "No it's not!" He squirmed as his hair is ruffled.

sighs, rolling his eyes in amusement. 'You're big enough to climb down yourself, right?'

stared a bit at him and moved to get down. "I climbed up here on my own."

glad he's moving on his own. He didn't want to have to carry him down.

isn't a baby. He climbed down the tree and soon as he was on the ground he took off away from their small home.

swears under his breath as he watches the younger nation run off, scrambling down after him to their home.

ran passed the home and out to the fields. He didn't really want to do the chores just yet.

groans when he finds that England had run away. He simply ignores the other this time though, using reverse psychology as he does his own chores.

went to go play with the fair folk. He found them gathered in a small clearing and it wasn't long before he'd convinced them to help him with his chores.

just wants them done. He doesn't really mind how he does so.

came back to the house when he was done and he went to find Gregory, he is completely covered in mud now.

may or may not be mucking about with a brownie, waiting for the smaller nation. All the younger nations work - which was really not much at all - was still left undone.

had done all his work, he was sure of it. When he found Gregory he ran over to trap him in a hug, headless of how much mud he was covered in.

makes a small noise of annoyance, flailing when he gets covered in mud. 'W-what are you doing you little eejit?' he asks, although he's reluctantly returning the hug, pushing back his hair.

frowns at being called that as he clung to him a bit. "I finished..." he let go of him and quietly apologized for the mud. He may have forgotten a chore or two though.

pulls him back into the hug, ruffling his hair. 'I knew you'd do it,' he says, pulling back enough to give him a bright grin. 'You just took a while to get around to it, huh?'

pouts a bit as he looked up at him and nodded. "I had to go see my friends..." he wouldn't not do his chores, he didn't want to disappoint his older brother.

hums, 'Next time you can just invite them here. Or ask 'em to come hang out while you do your chores, huh? And! If you just did 'em from the start you could play with them longer, no?'

shakes his head a bit as he looked away. "Tomorrow I'll do my chores earlier, I promise!"

smiles a bit at that, 'Good. Cause I don't like having to tell you off, you know?'

gave him a bit of a disbelieving look as he let go of him. "I thought you liked doing that."

shakes his head, 'Nah. I dinnae wanna turn grey early. I do enjoy winding you up though.' He pulls England in for a hug, starting to tickle him.

immediately tried to squirm away from the tickling, laughing as he tried to get free. He was never really that successful at it though.

nuzzles the side of his face as he continues to tickle his little brother. ~Say Mercy!~

practically squealing with laughter as he tried to get away. "M-mercy!"

presses a kiss to his face before stopping. 'Good, but now we both have to have a bath, huh?'

smiled up at him as he tried to catch his breath. The idea of bath made him pout a bit. He didn't like baths... "Do we have to?"

nods, 'Aye. We dae. We're both a state' ((Funny thing is, they didn't really bathe in Scotland until the vikings came over xD'' ))

huffed a bit but nodded as he cuddled into his brother a bit more. ((Yeah, I don't think they really bathed properly till much much much later.))

ruffles his hair, waiting for the other to stand before he drags him over to a close by stream.

got up and followed him, holding his hand tightly. "Can I try cooking tonight?"

shudders involuntarily. 'How about we both do it, eh?'

blinks up at him at that, trying for his cutest pleading look. "Why can't I?"

doesn't look at him, not wanting to deal with cramps again. 'Because it's dangerous to do it yerself.'

tugs on his hand as he tried to get him to look. "Buut I wont learn if I don't try?"

turns to look at him, frowning a bit. He bites back the mean words, opting for a compromise. 'You can do dessert.'

stares at him a bit but nods slowly looking away when he noticed Gregory's frown. He let go of his hand and continued on to the stream. He felt like he shouldn't have bugged him that much about it.

the kid should really be used to it by now. He sighs when he lets go of his hand, picking him up and slinging him over his shoulder. 'Fine, ye can cook.'

made to protest when he is grabbed and thrown over his shoulder, his fingers curled in his brother's clothes tightly. "No, I'll just make dessert." He'd already accepted the Gregory didn't want him to cook.

Hums, 'Nah! Your making it. I can't be arse.' He starts to wade into the stream, holding him up above the water now. 'It'll be you paying me back for not doing a couple of chores.'

squirms as he tried to get out of his hold. The stream would be cold... And he wasn't to good at swimming yet. "I did do all my chores!"

Holds him under his arms as he dips him in. 'No you didn't,' he says, making sure to keep England's head above water. 'You forgot to brow away the scraps from breakfast.'

struggled to get out of the water when he was dunked, yelping a bit at the cold. "I-I'm sorry."

Made sure to keep his head above water, half heatedly cleaning the boy despite the struggling. 'So that's why you have to make tea tonight!'

huffed up at him as he reached for his shirt and clung to it. "Fine I'll make tea."

Grins, 'Good, cause I love it when you cook dinner.'

stared up at him, he thought Gregory didn't like when he cooked.

lying, for his little brothers sake. He climbs out of the water to deposit him on the bank, going to clean himself. 'What are ya gonna drink?'

shuffled to a grassy spot on the bank and started to ring his clothes out a bit. "What can I drink?"

Shrugs. 'Your bath water,' he jokes. 'And what are you gonna cook?'

shivered a bit, "can I cook stew?"
