Ah. Arthur-san. I apologize that things have been so... unruly lately.

It's getting late. Time for a break. I've already made tea, so you can't argue.

...

Thank you, Arthur-san. I apologize for keeping you up to such late hours.

I don't mind. It's easier to get my own work done.

Are you in the kitchen?

{{He just doesn't want you burning out :|}}

{{ sob, england, this is japan }}

{{ what if he falls asleep in bed. You know. Before.... storytime.... }}

A-ah...

{{ ...then japan would let him sleep. would england do the same? }}

...oh, it is raining.

{{ he'd make an attempt at..... storytime first.... }}

I like the rain.

I mean... it's.... a good excuse to stay home. Under a blanket...

{{ storytime.....yes, well. /)A(\ }}

Not that... I mean. Watching television and things. It's peaceful. People don't visit.

Ah. Yes, of course. It is a good time to rest.

I should bring in the last of the laundry.

Done it.

i was... passing. So.

it's done

...Oh. Thank you for your kind consideration.

I suppose these...can wait for a few minutes. My boss was asking for them in the morning, but if I work late tonight, I can make the deadline.

....I'll bring the tea to you....

I can.... take the dog for a wa- no I can't, it's raining.

Do not worry. Pochikun was taken a walk in the evening.

I will come to the kitchen. Tama is asking for a snack.

I can take care of it. You have work to do.

...I suppose.

If Arthur-san insists.

....sure.

Yep

Yes.

...I see.

Then I will continue working. It has been difficult in international workings.

...I hope ours don't get too strained.

I-is there a danger....?

....no.

.... {{ now he is worried. forever. }}

{{ he's just bored }}

How's work going?

....

Perhaps I should send for Osakasan or Tokyosan?

It must be very...difficult to be here while there are such things happening.

That's a good idea! Give them some work so you can have a break and be more efficient in the morning.

Ah? ...Ah.

Yes, I suppose that is a choice.

I will call Tokyosan.

Japan, you have a suty to this world.

...and a duty also

...ah? France-san, it is an honor to see you again.

Of course it is.

But I must speak to you about something serious.

Ah, of course. Shall I call?

I was about to call Tokyosan, but if it is urgent matter, I can wait.

It's about.... your guest. Very urgent.

What? What. Stop what you're doing, France.

Don't worry. I'm helping.

I understand your pain.

...? Is Arthur-san in troubl--

{{ oh no....}}

I-I see. Yes, I will. Call shortly.

He is.

terrible trouble

...It is difficult for him here, yes. I understand.

Perhaps he is homesick?

Non, he is fine, he hates his home. You must keep him there

....Ah, perhaps...I should call? This is a most public place to discuss my guest.

Good idea. In another room away from him.

...He is in the kitchen, but yes. I will call shortly.

Work is good.
