outside in a coat way too big for her rolling around in the snow.

about to jump and toss a snowball at her when he realized there was a kid there. "..."

sits up from rolling around, covered in snow. Wiggles her body to shake the snow off.

crouches down, staring intensely at her in his confusion. Who was this brat? Did Bela have a younger sister?

sees a shadow fall over her. " ......... " looks up at him. "..." look of panic comes over her face. "LITVA! TEUTONIC ORDER! POLSKA!" _

scrambles to get up and run away.

reaches out and grabs her, picking her up to get a better look at her. "What're ya screamin' about? I'm not gonna hurt ya!"

stops screaming and looks at him, shaking. "You're 'nastic order of the Teutonic Knights?" Remembers the red eyes.

pulls her over into his arms. She was cute and he liked kids. "Nein, not anymore."

looks at him with big, wide eyes. "Not anymore?"

she's adorableeee. Hngh, he missed West being this small. "That's right! Now I am Prussia."

tilts her head, still looking at his red eyes. "Prus-sha."

nods to her! "Ja, that's right and who might you be little one?"

frowns. "I'm Belarus." looks down at her dangling feet. "I'm thirsty."

surprised by her answer, but he had something like this happen to him...so it wasn't too outrageous. "What would you like?"

"I have apple juice at my house. It's almost gone." looks at the surprised expression on his face.

and then nods. "Why don't we go out and get something to eat? Would ya like that?"

food would be a good idea, since she's been scrounging for whatever she can find in her house for two days. Nods at him. "Okay."

grins and nods. "I like the way you think." He tells the little girl, keeping her in his arms as he started for a nearby restaurant.

blinks at being so high, looks around as he carries her. "Can I still have apple juice?"

misses having kids around. This was nice. Not what he expected, but nice. "Ja, you can have whatever you like~"

"Dobroy." puts her arms around his neck and watches everything they pass by.

enters the restaurant and takes a seat, setting the little girl down next to him. He tells the waitress to bring two kids menu's and crayons

so they could both play. He then orders her apple juice and water for himself.

looks around at everything. Smells food cooking and she instantly feels hungry too. Sits in the chair next to Prussia and watches him _

talk to the waitress.

slides the menu over to her and gives her a purple crayon. "Let's color, ja?"

"Color?" looks at the crayon in her hand, watches him.

takes a blue crayon and starts to color the picture of a dog. "Like this~"

watches him, amazed at the crayon. looks at her picture of a bunny. "Oh," starts to color the bunny purple.

ruffles her hair. "Now ya got it. Have some other colors." He tells her, offering up the rest of the pack.

looks inside the box. "Red!" pulls out that crayon and colors the bunny's feet.

points to the bunny's ears. "These should be green~"

nods, finds the green crayon and colors the ears. "Can I have kielbasa?"

takes a moment before he realized what she was asking for. "Ah! Ja, I'll have some too." He looks around for the waitress before giving her

their order

looks up at him, giving him a small smile. finds the yellow crayon and colors the tree in the picture.

pats her on the head for being a good girl. He really wondered why people were randomly changing though.

stops coloring to take a drink of her apple juice when it arrives. "Mmm, that's good."

smiles a bit, and nods. "Ja, this restaurant is very good. You'll liked your food too."

decides the bunny picture needs flowers, so draws a few around it.

takes a crayon and draws a mutant bunny nearby.

watches him draw the bunny, giggles. "That bunny looks funny!"

grins at this. "He's supposed to. Now we have beauty and the beast!"

can't stop herself from giggling. "Does the beast bunny like the beauty bunny?"

grins and draws a heart between them. "Of course he does."

eyes light up at the heart. "They're friends!" reaches for her glass to take a drink, knocks the glass over and spills the apple juice.

drenched. He jumps up, about to curse...but holds his tongue and grabs some napkins to dry off his lap. He then shoves some over the table,_

trying to prevent any from spilling on her too

Eyes get big when she sees the mess she's made. Eyes well up with tears. "I'm sorry Prussha!"

pats her on the head, trying to clean up the mess in the process. "Shh, it's fine. Was an accident, right?"

nods her head. "Now my juice is gone." rubs her eyes.

looks around. "We can get you more when the waitress comes back. Did you get any juice spilled on you?"

looks at the over sized blue hoodie she's wearing like a dress. Shakes her head, still sniffling.

smiles at that, taking his sleeve to wipe her tears. "Enough of that now, it's all right."

closes her eyes when he wipes them. Opens them again and watches him try to clean himself up. "I can wash them for you later."

sits back down and smirks. "Well aren't you useful. We could wash them together. I'm sure your clothes should be washed too."

looks at the hoodie. "I guess so. Do you know how to wash clothes?"

nods. "It's very easy, but...do you have anything else to wear while we wash them?"

furrows her brow as she thinks. "I think so. I like this shirt, it's warm and it has a hat."

stares at her for a moment before checking his wallet. Well, he could afford buying her something... "I'll get you something warmer." He_

assures as the food arrives,.

looks at the kielbasa. "Yummy!"

cuts it up for her before turning his attention to his food. He missed taking care of someone. "Make sure to eat it all, ja?"

"I will!" hasn't had hot food in days. picks up the pieces with her fingers and eats the sausage. "Mmm, it is good!"

if anyone else had looked after her...or how long she has been like this. "Ja? I told you this place is very good." He gives her her juice,_

this time with a straw,

sips the juice with the straw, then goes back to eating the sausage, using a fork this time after watching him.

finishes up his own meal and waits for her to finish up as well.

really hungry, so it doesn't take her long to finish the sausage. Drinks the juice down through the straw until she makes loud slurping _

noises in the empty glass.

pays for the meal, grinning at her. "You ready to go, kiddo?"

carefully wipes her fingers with her napkin. "Yes." hops down from the chair and looks up at him.

nods and picks her back up. "We will get you some nice clothes."

"Clothes?" puts her arms around his neck.

carries her outside and towards a store. "Your clothes are a bit too big for you now, so we'll get you something that fits."

like that very much, rolling up sleeves is no fun. "Dziakuj, Prussha." kisses his cheek.

she's too cute! Too cute! Ahhh, if only West was still cute! "My pleasure, cutie."

pants would be nice, because even wearing these long shirts like dresses, her legs get cold.

opens up the door to the kid's clothing store and sets her down. "So...see anything you like?"

looks around, then frowns at the store clerk staring at her because she's wearing a grown-up's hoodie with the sleeves rolled up. _

walks over to a rack of girl's pants, looking for something warm to wear.

moves over to the sweaters, looking at a cute jacket with cute little bows. He picks it up and moves over to show her.

looks at the jacket. "That's very pretty." yanks on a pair of fleece warm up pants.

nods when he sees they fit. "This is good, ja?"

smiles shyly. "Ja."

picks her up and moves to the counter to pay before they are off again. "Looks good. Purple is a good color. Goes well with your eyes~"

waves to the clerk at the counter. "I like purple. Thank you for buying me clothes and something to eat." kisses him on the cheek again.

perks up at this and nods to her. "It's fine, a girl needs to look cute and be warm after all. Clothes that fit are also good, ja?"

nods, very happy she's not wearing a shirt as a dress. "This is very nice of you." Didn't know he could be nice, Litva said he was mean_

but that was a long time ago. Maybe people can change.

had nothing against her now, of course. "Well, can't let a little girl freeze."

"I'm much warmer now." he has no idea how grateful she is for the clothes.

carries her back to her house, letting himself in. "That is a good thing. Last thing we want is you getting sick~"

"Can't play when you're sick." looks around her house, which is usually tidy, but has had a small child running amok for a couple of days.

cringes at the house's state. Perhaps he should clean. It...would let him poke around too. Kesese. He sets her down once inside. "That's_

right!"

runs over to a pile of papers, some drawn on, some blank, scoops them up and brings them to Prussia. "Want to see my pictures?"

nods to her. "Sure, show me." He kneels down to see.

plops down on her butt on the floor, holds up a picture for him. "Here I am in front of my house." Shows him a very childish drawing of her

and a drawing of a house that looks not too much like her actual house. "And here I am picking mushrooms."

grins at them, thinking they were cute. "Those are really good."

"I like to write and draw." hums as she shuffles through the papers."

smiles a bit. "I used to write a lot at your age. It's a good hobby!"

"I write stuff for Litva. I wonder where he is?" puts the papers on the floor and gets up to walk into the kitchen.

starts to pick some stuff up as he follows. "I wonder? I haven't seen him in a while."

"Me either, maybe he's fighting another war? He's such a brave knight." nods as she bounces over to the table and grabs a chair to push _

over to the tap.

cleans up a bit more as he listens. "I don't think so. At least, not that I am aware of."

climbs onto the chair, picks up the glass she keeps next to the sink with both hands and holds it under the water. "That's good. I don't _

like war very much."

smiles a bit, putting the collected papers on the counter in a neat stack. "Well, don't worry. I'll keep you safe."

takes a big drink of water while standing on the chair, tap still running into the sink. "You will? But Litva used to fight you."
