snuck around him and stole a piece of licorice before disappearing.

blinks in surprise and quickly looks around. "Wh-what was that?"

smirks and snuck around to poke his side.

turns to glare him.

smiles. "Yo~"

raises an eyebrow. "Yo?"

nods. "How're ye doin' today?"

sighs. "Fine..."

nods and looked at his paperwork. "... Workin'?"

glares at the papers. "Ja...."

chuckles. "Ye almost done?"

growls. "I don't know..."

hums. "I could do some~"

looks at him. "...Yeah?"

nods. "Ja, why not?"

fidgets."I... I can do it on my own."

hums. "Ye suuuure?"

nods. He didn't let anyone else do his work, even if he didn't do it on his own.

didn't mind doing it. "I'll make some cookies when ye're done then."

glances at him. "Okay..." He was just wary of letting people do his work for him, it felt like giving up some independence.

wouldn't want him to feel like that. He just wanted to help. He sat beside him and grabbed a pen, then some papers.

watches him before starting on some more.

hummed as he worked, reading through everything carefully.

glances at him every few seconds as he worked on his own papers.

kept his eyes focused on the papers and filled in what he had to.

...decides to trust him with this.

wouldn't skip out on other nations work. Besides, he really did want to help Ari.

knew he wouldn't skip out on it... He was just making sure the other did it right.

would normally fee offended of untrusted about that, but since it was Ari he knew it was okay. He liked how much responsibility the other

took in his work and life now

.

had always been that way but had never been allowed to take responsibility when he was younger.

didn't want to take his responsibility away from him. At this point, he knew the other was in charge since it was his work and country.

still always felt weird letting other people help...

doesn't think he should let many others help, that'd just become too complicated.

knows how that goes...

finished up his pile a bit later and leaned back, stretching.

finishes some of his own and sets his pen down, glancing over at him.

yawned a bit. "Work always makes me yawn... it's so borin'..."

nods slowly and eats a bit of licorice.

hums. "What do ye wanna do now?"

shrugs. "Not work..."

nods. "Ja, but do ye have anythin' else in mind?"

shakes his head.

hums. "We could go to the park..."

"And bring the puffins?"

nods. "Why not? They'll like it I bet."

glances over at Mr. Puffin napping on his blanket. "Ok."

called out for Hans and Eya, who quickly after made their way to him and nuzzled at his legs.

picks Mr. Puffin up.

smiled and picked up the two before walking out. "How far do ye wanna walk today?"

shrugs. "I dunno.."

hummed and nodded. "Kay~ We'll just start walkin' and see where we end up then."

nods. "That sounds fine."

let Hans and Eya sit on his shoulders, humming as he walked.

holds Mr. Puffin in his arms.

"S'a nice day for this."

nods and glances at him.

petted his puffins once they chirped a few times, before looking up and smiling.

blushes and looks away.

made a small sound as Hans took off from his shoulder to fly around a bit.

blinks over at Hans before laughing under his breath.

glad Hans liked to fly a lot.
