jumps out and looks down at him. "Boo!"

just lays there limply, rolling his head to look over at her. He was too tired to move right now. "Oh...you again. Hallo!"

blinks in surprise at his lack of response. "Pryvitannie, Have you seen my brat around?"

shakes his head. "Haven't seen 'em." Luckily.

"That's too bad, because I know he would think you are really cute and would want to play with you."

reluctantly sits up. "Well I don't wanna see him or play with him!"

"Why do you act so tired?" thought little children were bundles of energy.

looks up at her. "I didn't sleep well cause I got lost last night. Everything looks different at this height!"

"Lost." glances at him. "Did you forget how to read when you shrank?"

narrows his eyes. "I got lost in the woods by Switzerland's house! I only just now got out of them!"

"Really? Why didn't Switzerland shoot you? I find it hard to believe you were that close to his house and he didn't know you were there."

shrugs. He wasn't sure either. "I dunno what his reasoning for anything is."

"Huh, you were just lucky then." Thinks Vash would shoot anyone in a heartbeat if he thought they were a threat.

doesn't think Vash would shoot kids. He seemed to have a soft spot for taking in harmless things. "Hahah, I guess so. Though being shot_

again wouldn't phase me."

"How many times have you been shot?"

shrugs. "By Vash, once...By other people, I lost count!"

"Really," Looks at him, "You've been shot that many times. Do you have scars?"

stands up finally. "I have lot's of them!"

"Can you show me any of them?" wonders if they are on his arms or legs.

blinks up at her. That was an odd question. "Why?"

"You seemed to be proud of them, I thought you would show me. You don't have to if you don't want to."

proud of his battle wounds yeah, but some he wasn't so proud of either. "I'll show you. I don't mind, it just surprised me." He pulls_

off his shirt, revealing a torso riddled in scars.

"Wow, you've done a lot of fighting, haven't you?" looks at the scars, then up at his face.

grins! "Of course! I am awesome~"

"Or you know how to take a bullet." looks away, because staring at a bare child's chest is pretty strange, even if it is Prussia.

puts his shirt back on. He would have shown off more if he wasn't...like this. "Ja~ I am used to pain~"

looks at him once his shirt is back on. "You're not the type who enjoys that sort of thing, are you?"

snickers at the comment. "Who knows. Maybe I am just a sucker for punishment in the end."

"You have certainly caused enough." looks down at her feet. "But that's all in the past now."

quiet for a moment before speaking up again. "Time changes, people change~"

"True." looks at him. "But you in some ways haven't changed at all."

twirls around, laughing. "I think I've changed plenty in many ways~" But his ego hadn't.

"Changed, yes. You got taller, but then you got shorter again. Are you this big forever?" thinks that would be sweet.

forgot that she and west were the ones with kids on the mind. Oh dear. "I hope not! I liked being...well, normal."

arches an eyebrow at him using "I" and "normal" in the same sentence. "Perhaps it's just temporary?"

he's perfectly normal! "Ugh...I hope so I blame West for this."

"Why do you blame Ludwig? He's pretty level headed, except when he's butting his nose into my elections."

wrinkles his nose. "I think he has been over thinking the kid thing and it somehow effected me."

"Oh, how many children does his boss want Germans to have? My boss wants every woman in Belarus to have at least 3 babies each."

doesn't think the boss gave how many he wants, just that he wanted them to have more kids... "That sounds pretty intimidating. What are you_

going to do?"

"I don't know what to do. It's up to the women I guess, if they want to have children. My people like children, but I don't know why_

we need to triple our population so fast."

flops back down to sit. "Probably lot's of reasons. Though I can't say I know why exactly since it's not me~

"I think my boss is crazy sometimes." looks at him. "Don't tell anyone I said that. People who say things against my boss tend to ..._

disappear."

makes a motion to say his lips were sealed. "Won't say a word!"

"Dziakuj." looks at him. "Remember the battle of Grunwold?"

looks up at her with curious red eyes. "Of course."

"I just mention it because you are about the size you were back then. I was even smaller then. I remember the first time I saw you with_

those eyes of yours. I thought you were a demon."

used to that comparison. He was used to being hated and alone. "You were awfully small, kesese~" He teased slightly. "Though you are quite_

tall now."

"If you become tall again, I will still be the small one. The little one, the baby." hated the way people treated her like that.

just grins over at her. "Even if I am tall again, you still have something I don't."

"And what is that?" looks at him. Not sure what she has that he doesn't.

looks thoughtful before speaking. "An identity among nations."

looks at him for a moment. "Ah, that."

waves his hand around, now grinning. "But you're also beautiful! Your family doesn't define you! So just remember that!"

"I don't know what being beautiful has to do with being a nation. You're good looking ... in your own way ... when you're not a kid."

just complimenting her. "It brings tourism. Being beautiful that is, Kesese~"

"People come to my nation to look at the Stalin-era architecture. And where Lee Harvey Oswald lived."

she thinks about things a bit too seriously. "It's a compliment, regardless you know?"

"I know. Dziakuj."

smiles up at her, not in the arrogant way. He was feeling quite nice right now. "Good."

looks at him. "You should smile like that more often."

explodes into a blush. "W-What way!?"

"The way you just were." looks away. "It made your face look nice."

's blush darkens. Ahhh compliments! "H-Heh. I look nice all the time!"

"But you don't look friendly, or inviting." isn't really one to talk on this subject.

blinks at that. He didn't look friendly? "I'm very friendly!"

"You grin in a way that makes people turn away. It's like you enjoy being alone."

didn't enjoy it at all. It was just easier to grin and bear the lonliness than it was to accept that no one wanted to be around him. "Being_

alone is fine with me! But I'm not unfriendly~"

"You never get lonely. Don't you want friends?" pretty sure he's lying about liking to be alone.

looks at her, appearing thoughtful. "Of course."

"I think if you flash that nice smile of yours more often, you would have a better chance with making friends."

too embarrassed to do something like that. He could be surprisingly shy in some aspects. "H-Heh. Maybe."

"You should think about it. I don't have an easy time making friends either, but if I can do it, so can you."

looks up at her, grinning. "Well I consider you a friend." He liked her from his time at Russia's. When she was around, Russia wasn't as_

much.
