Another cat?

Yes, England-san and his cat are visiting.

you mean, beast?

Ah...yes.

That must be magical for both of them

He seems happy.

So I take it, you are a cat lover as well?

Yes, I like animals.

You are such a sweet person. I love fellow cat lovers

Japan.... I'm sorry about the mess. I'll clean it up

N-no, please don't worry about it, England-san.

I'm so sorry. He... likes to hunt.

And well, it's a gift. He likes you.

he just has a strange way of showing it.

I suppose pets really are like their owners

...ah?

You don't...do that, do you?

No! certainly not! I meant.... something else

never mind

...?

It's really alright, England-san.

Cats will be cats, after all.

It...was a mild shock, but it isn't so terrible really...

I suppose I used to do it, actually, but hunting has become a bit of a pompous sport now than.... whatever it used to be

Thank you, I'm glad you understand. I just seemed a little sad. That tiny little bird....

At least it wasn't yours! Good heavens, you should see France's face when the cat goes near his birds.

It's quite funny

Funny?

Mm. It's difficult to describe. But it's a look of absolute horror and near hearbreak.

*heartbreak, sorry

... That's...funny?

if you lived near him all your life you'd see it

hell, spend a week with him and it'll be hilarious

.... I see.

he deserves it, don't worry

....

Ah...you don't think your cat will be...leaving presents every morning, do you?

....I hope not. He's quite lazy. I'll try and keep him in doors

Well...I suppose I should do something to thank him....

He did go out of his way, after all. And it's an appreciated gesture. ...even if the gift was a bit...

it might encourage him. A pat on the head should be fine

...If that is best...

I wonder if Tama will start doing the same thing...

oh bugger.... I hope not. For your sake. They're not always dead

did you know frogs (not France, but he does anyway) scream? I do now.

A-ah...

...He brought you a frog?

yes....it was.... I couldn't even compare it to France and laugh about it. I'm haunted to this day

the noise....

.... I-I'm sorry to hear that...

Although it is nice that your pet loves you so much?

Sometimes I wonder.

I have read that pets only do these things if they feel...particularly thankful of someone?

I've never really trusted cats.

...really?

I like Loyalty. Dogs seem to possess more of that than cats. But with work.... it seemed easier to have a cat this time.

Ah... I see.

I...like both, I suppose. Pochikun has been very faithful over the years, but Tama can be very kind sometimes.

Dogs are clingy.

... Do you think that of Pochikun too...?

Oh, cats can be kind when they want something.

Tama mostly just wants to be under the kotatsu during this season.

....Ah.

No, Pochikun is okay because he's Japan-san's dog.

Please don't mind him if he tries to climb into bed with you. Pochikun sleeps with me and he is always a little upset about that.

Ah...thank you, Greece-san.

Oh, I don't mind him on the bed. It's quite nice.

Once they settle down from playing together

Tama does seem to have taken a liking to your cat, England-san.

it's going to be a shame to part them.

Yes... But perhaps they can be together again sometime.

I'm going to miss you.

I mean the cat!

the cat is going to miss you.

and of course, I will miss both you and your cat a little, sure. But we'll see each other at meetings and we can speak on the phone

and by email

and this thing

Y-yes, w-we can always talk whenever you wish, England-san.

(( England's face right now: ))

Yes. Well. We.... have one day left. For the cats. To play with each othet

....R-right.

(( Japan is just going: and is so confused right now. gj, england ))

((They're so derpy I WANT TO SAY THINGS BUT I DONT AND OMG DO I SEEM WEIRD SAY SOMETHING TO BREAK THE TENSION lovely tea'))

(( lmao tea ))

....Ah...it is late. I'm sorry to keep you up like this...

Quite alright. The cats are still playing.

...Shall I bring you something then?

((When they part, England will shake his hand a GIVE HIS SHOULDER A LIGHT SQUEEZE. It's practically a hug))

Well....you could keep me company if you're not tired? I miss when we told stories rather than read them.

...Ah, of course.

I'll make some tea and stop by then.

Alright! Thank you.

can I do anything?

(( fff touching his shoulder, japan will jump out of his skin orz ))

...If you'd like to join me? It would be nice to have company in the kitchen for a bit.

((England will blush hella crazy and go bury his hgead in the sand and never show emotions to anyone ever again))

I'll be right there!

(( B( no, that's japan's gig, england can't take it from him ))

((GET YOUR OWN ISLAN- wait...))

(... LMFAO moe )

(( fffffff ))
