passed by the house following her kitten. She was only passing through since she had a meeting earlier that morning. Her cat on the other hand decided to sneak into the house without her knowing however.
slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes, yawning quietly as he let his eyes focus on the environment around him.
looked around outside for her kitten as it found him and promptly jumped him with a happy mewl.
jumped and shifted back from the cat, trying to keep away.
heard a sound and contemplated before knocking on the door. Her kitten seemed to want to play with him.
made a quiet sound and pressed himself against the wall, looking a little lost and confused as he noticed everything around him. It was all too weird.
gave a whistle for her kitten to return to her. She heard the mewl as it scampered away from him and headed to the front door.
heard that and looked to the door. Now he was just creeped out, and almost scared. He quickly crawled off the bed and looked under the mattress, pulling out a small dagger with a worn handle.
knocked on the door again in the meantime. Her kitten mewed at him every now and then which caused her to be a little impatient. " Hej, open the door. I need my cat."
just backed up against the wall, slowly heading towards the window. He never took his eyes off the door though.
sighs as she couldn't open the door. She went to the window after as she whistled for her kitten. Her kitten followed after the male seeing he was acting weird.
just started out the window, wanting to get away from this place. It was some what hard though with having a large shirt struggle against him.
raised a brow as she looked up to see the kid climbing out the second floor window, " Hej, you're gonna fall."
slipped at that and just clung to the window sill, keeping the dagger in his hand.
narrowed her eyes as she saw that and went to go position herself to catch him if he fell. " I can catch you if you fall."
just pulled himself up enough to balance himself on the window sill, making a few quiet sounds of not knowing what to do.
crossed her arms as she whistled again for her kitten. It mewed and pawed at him thinking he was playing a game or something.
startled from that again and almost slipped out. "Go away!"
raised a brow at that, not sure what was going on. " Do you need help?" Her cat continued to paw at him curiously.
tried to climb to the roof through the window, wanting to be away from everything.
frowns when she saw the kitten follow him and entered the house to retrieve her cat back before it was in any danger.
managed to get to the gutter and tried to pull himself up onto the roof, but it cracked a little at his weight.
got into the house and to the window. She saw the cat mewing and following after him like a game.
didn't even question the cat and it's ability to be able to climb like that, but continued to try and get onto the roof until the gutters finally gave way from his weight.
caught him and with ease as she anticipated that. She set him down inside and retrieved her kitten after who seemed happy she was present now.
yelped when he was caught, and the moment she let him go he ran out the door.
shook her head as she left the place with her cat soon after. She figured this was the Dutchman's problem, not hers to deal with and went to the fields nearby to have lunch with her cat.
just ran as fast as he could to an old signature windmill, crawling under the deck as soon as he got there. He was panting and kept on the look out for people, keeping the dagger close.
let her kitten choose the spot where it was shady as she didn't pay attention to the kid. She sat down where the kitten stopped and it just happened to be where the windmill was.
tensed at that and just pushed himself further under the structure, keeping away from the side rails of the decks underside.
blinked as she heard a sound and looked to the windmill. She sighed and went to see what was in there with her kitten in her arms so it wouldn't run off again.
tried to keep as hidden as he could in the ground and dirt. He didn't want to be found.
heard the sounds as she quietly stepped into the place. She slowly headed to his direction, curious to what it was.
just closed his eyes and hid as best he could in the darkness.
stopped right where he was hiding and raised a brow. " Who's there?"
kept silent, quietly tightening the hold on his dagger. He was ready to strike when need be.
drew closer to the deck as she crouched down to take a better look.
curled in closer to himself, taking only short breathes.
reached over and just pulled him up by the collar once she figured out that it wasn't an animal. " You'll get hurt playing down there boy."
made a sound and went to cut her some how, needing her to let go of him.
hissed as she felt something cut her arm but she kept her grip on him as she calmly plucked the blade out of his hands, " It's not wise to wave something so dangerous."
dug his nails into her arm after, yelling at her to let him go.
didn't seem bothered by the pain as she glared down at him coldly enough to get him to quiet down. She never liked doing this to kids, but it was enough to strike fear into their hearts.
clenched his eyes shut and just kept struggling against her. "Let me go!" He kept telling in Dutch, wanting to run again
sighed as she held him in the air, waiting for him to tire out regardless of how mangled her arm seemed to be from his struggles.
continued to struggle regardless, not planning to stop any time soon. He never gave in.
seemed patient enough to deal with it and took him outside. " Do know how silly you look right now?" She asked calmly.
didn't listen to her as he kept mumbling and ranting in Dutch.
searched her brain for some proper words, "Speak properly. It's hard to understand you if you mumble like a girl."
calmed down faintly but kept his nails in her arm. He lightly chewed his lip as he kept his eyes clenched shut.
ignored it as she sighed and set his feet onto the ground. "* You can bite into my arm if you hate me that much*." She noted as she kept her grip on his collar.
just tried to run once he was on solid ground.
lifted him again after so he would be running in the air. "You're a silly child." She pointed.
made a quiet sound and shook his head. "L-let me go..."
sighs, "Stop for a moment and calm down. Think about what you're doing right now and about the fact that you act like a dangerous person."
loosened his grip on her arm a bit, starting to get tired. "I-I'm not a dangerous person..."
nods, " If you aren't, you wouldn't be holding a dagger or attacking my arm like a rabid animal." She adjusted her grip, not bothered by how much it was bleeding.
started calming down a little more, opening his eyes faintly to look at the ground. "I don't want to be taken away..."
looks at him oddly, "Whoever said I was taking you anywhere?"
mumbled quietly. "Why else would you be after me...?"
raised a brow, "I just wanted my cat out of trouble." Her kitten chimed in with a mew as it was perched on her shoulder.
nodded faintly at that. "Now that you have what you want, let me go..."
raised a brow, "That still doesn't give me any reason to let you loose and raise havoc if you're able to do that much damage to my arm." She pointed out how bloody and scratched up it was.
let his hands drop and frowned a little. "I was only defending myself."
chuckles, "All I did was take away your weapon. I don't hit kids." She pointed out calmly.
tried to step away from her. "Then give it back..."
would note that she was still holding him in mid air. "And let you hurt someone else?"
still tried to get away. "I have no reason to hurt anyone unless they hurt me or my land first..."
looks at him oddly, "That still gives you no excuse to attack me when I haven't done anything." She pointed out.
huffs. "You were following me!"
raised a brow, "I didn't even know you were here until you started making noises. I only wanted to eat lunch with my cat in the shade."
made a sound. "Then let me go!"
huffs, "You still haven't shown me that you'll be a civil person."
still didn't look up. "I don't need to prove I'm civil."
sighs, "Then I'm to letting you go." She concluded curtly.
kept quiet after, picking at the dirt and blood under his nails.
shook her head as she brought him to the house. "You'll get an infection like that if you're not careful." She meant to scare him really.
shook his head. "As long as I clean well enough I have no chance of infection..."
flicked his forehead as she went inside and turned on the sink, "You're covered in dirt smartass."
made a sound and rubbed his forehead. He slowly stepped back from her when she turned to the sink.
dangled him right in front of it after. "I do't like putting kids on a leash so just behave."
made a sound and pushed away from it. He didn't trust it.
looks at him funny, "It's clean water for goodness sakes."
shifted and kept her uninjured hand on him as she put her scrapped up and bloodied arm under the running water, cleaning the wounds. "See?"
still tried to push away. "I-I want to go..."
looked down at him as she turned off the tap. "Think for a moment on your own actions. Even if I let you go where ever you want, you're just a dangerous kid."
shakes his head. "Nee. I'm... just... just let me go..." This was scaring him.
just let go of his collar after. " Fine, go and run off then." She stated just as it started to rain outside.
did the moment he was let go of. He bolted out the door, heading back to the windmill. It was the only familiar thing he felt close to now it seemed.
shook her head after as she watched and ate lunch with her cat in the kitchen. She was going to kick that Dutchman's ass if she saw him and his inability to take care of children.
got to the safety of the windmill and got inside to get out of the rain. He rubbed his eyes a bit as he found a spot to sit in, confused and frustrated at not knowing what was going on.
cleaned up and sat on the porch waiting for the rain to end. She did seem worried for the kid but she wasn't too please that he was able to add more scars to her arm.
very defensive, and would do all he could to stay free. Even if he was poor and wore worn out clothing, he was still free.
found that he was a very weird kid.
thought she was a very weird adult... She dressed weirdly and everything too. And at first didn't speak his language.
wondered if he had even paid attention to his surroundings.
mostly just focused on the landscape once he was outside... and only at the environment at that. Everything just seemed so weird...
figured he looked a bit out of place but didn't say anything about it.
wandered around in the windmill, trying to find anything to use for his chores the next day. Or clothes...
thought that was kind of impossible for such an abandoned place. She heard a crack of thunder and a bit of lightening and shook her head after.
tensed instantly when he heard it and found the darkest place he could inside the windmill. He covered his ears as best he could, not wanting to hear any thunder.
seemed rather skeptical as she heard it not too far away. She simply sat inside, playing with her cat as she was waiting for the rain to stop she she could leave.
waited until he couldn't hear it as loud before checking the outside and see how much rain had fallen.
played with her kitten, noticing the rain wasn't going to end. She blinked when she heard the lightning strike something nearby.
jumped at that and clenched his hands tightly before going outside, searching for something.
continued to just wait as she raised a brow, wondering why there was a bit of a spark nearby the windmill.
didn't even notice as his mind was on something else now.
kept the kitten in her inner coat pocket to keep it dry and out of trouble as she retrieved her umbrella and went to see the problem.
wrapped his arms around himself as he kept searching around the area, not wanting to get too far from the windmill.
kept and eye on her kitten as she drew closer and furrowed her brows. The windmill was on fire...
only noticed when he heard a loud sound from the wood cracking. He instantly ran back to it, going inside to see if there was anything he needed to save from inside.
sighed as she went to see if anyone was in there. " Hej!" She caught a glimpse of the kid and huffed, seeing he was going to be in deep trouble.
didn't think of the consequences, he just wanted to save what he could and maybe even find a way to put out the fire.
huffs as she scooped him up right into her arms as she pulled him away from a burning pillar that was falling down. "You're a troublesome child." She noted.
made a sound and shook his head. "I need to save what I can..."
took him outside as she nods, "Your life is more important than something that can be replaced. Let's just avoid having the place come down on us. It's about to collapse." She noted.
tried to get out of her grasp, more so just wanting to not be held again. He didn't take his eyes off the structure though.
huffs as she kept her grasp on him so he wouldn't do anything stupid. The building came down rather quickly and was put out eventually by the rain. She let go of him by then.
ended up just standing there, staring at the rumble. He went over after and planned on going through the debris.
tugged his collar just as he was about to go there. " It still has burning cinders you idiot. You'll burn your hands."
made a sounds. "I'll be careful. I know what I'm doing..."
let go of his shirt after as she watched and made sure her kitten was okay.
careful, making sure not to get hurt. He was good at scrounging around for materials. He got only a few things and held the close, since he had no wehre to keep them now.
saw that and went over to him after, "You should be able to keep them in the house." She watched as her kitten stuck its head out from her coat and mewled at him.
shook his head. "I'm not going back to that... that place." He was going to stay as away from that stuff as he could.
raised a brow, "Why not? You came from that place didn't you?"
frowns. "It's too weird... I don't know anything there.."
raised a brow, "So you're not one of the Dutchman's kids?"
... thought she was just being weirder now.
flicked his forehead, "What year is it?"
made a quiet. He looked around faintly, his mind jumping from thing to thing.
raised a brow at that, "Did you step out of a time machine or something?"
frowned and shook his head some more. He idly fidgeted, not knowing what to even do now. Especially that his shelter was gone, and was soaking wet.
sighs after, "Let's go inside and talk there. There should be clothing for you." She ushered him inside.
hesitant at first, not wanting to go anywhere creepy, especially with her. But he had no idea where to go, or what was even logical anymore... He started to think that this all could be a dream.
didn't think much of it but found a towel to dry him off before getting a change of clothing for him. "Are you hungry?"
kept quiet as he pulled the towel tightly around himself.
flicked his forehead as she put the clothing in his hands. "Do you want food?"
took the clothes and held them close. "... What do I have to do for it?"
rolls her eyes as she ushered him to the bedroom to change, "It doesn't cost you anything. Go change before you get sick."
a little reluctant to be moved but gave in eventually. "What do you mean?"
rolls up her sleeves, "Quit asking questions. I don't charge kids for food like the Dutchman probably would."
frowned at that before stepping into the bedroom. "I don't charge people..."
pinched his nose, "Do I have to help to change as well?" She didn't know or rather care about who he was. All she knew was that he was trouble.
made a sound and pulled away, closing the door so he was alone.
smirked as she went downstairs to make some food for him.
got changed quickly, staying close to the door. Though once he was done he looked around, wondering where he even was.
finished making some warm soup and brought it upstairs. She knocked on the door after, "Hej, you done changing yet?"
jumped at that and dropped some art supplies he had found. He didn;t move closer to the door though, still not use to her.
opened the door regardless from hearing that sound. " Don't hold me accountable for making a mess here." She stated as she put the food on the desk.
stepped away from the mess he made and looked up to the food. "It smells good..."
pulled out the chair for him to sit on, "Sit down and eat then." She went to clean up the mess he made after without another word.
hopped onto the chair as he looked to the food, his stomach growling loudly. "What is it?"
chuckles as she looked up from her spot, "Chicken noodle soup."
nodded faintly as he slowly started eating, trying to hide the fact that he was starving.
watched him from the corner of her eye. "Slow down or you'll choke. I can get you more from the kitchen if you're still hungry."
started to choke a bit after, dropping the spoon back into the soup. He hadn't had anything this good in ages
shook her head as she rubbed his back, "I said slow down." She wondered if he was going to be okay.
managed to get back to normal, wiping his mouth a little before rubbing the water from his eyes.
handed him a napkin after, "You're an odd little one."
used it a bit to clean his hands before putting it on his lap and began eating again.
smiles and sat on the side of the bed, waiting for him to finish.
finished it rather quickly, wiping his mouth again with the napkin before putting it in his pocket.
raised a brow before fishing out the dirty napkin out of his pocket. "You don't need to save that. There's a box of it nearby." She pointed out as she threw it away.
made a sound and grabbed for it, before getting off the chair and retrieving it.
rolls her eyes as she put the box of tissues in his hand. "I'm guessing you're really behind on the times if you need to save a dirty napkin."
frowned. "How much do I owe you...?"
flicked his head, "You don't owe me anything for the last time."
frowns. "Why are you giving me all this...?" He only remembered having to work for every little scrap.
shrugs, "Because I want to? The tissue box isn't worth much though." She pointed out after.
nodded as he looked down at it and kept it close. "Dank u..."
scratched her head, finding it really weird he would thank her for a tissue box. "So what's your name?"
kept the box close as he picked up the bowl and started to go outside to clean it.
shook her head as she picked the bowl and the rest of the utensils from his hands before heading to the kitchen. to wash them. "Sorry I can't let you run away with those." She joked lightly.
blinked at her. "I was going to wash them."
rolls her eyes as she retrieved a stool for him to stand on as she turned on the tap to wash the dishes. "Try this instead."
didn't want to go near that device again... He started feeling nervous about his environment and just fidgeted with the box in his hands.
took her hand lightly and put it under the flowing water. "See? It's harmless."
frowns. "Why does it do that?"
chuckles, "It's just the piping that makes the water flow downwards. It's clean water too but don't drink it since its not boiled yet."
nods a little. "Pipes work like that...?"
nods back to him, "Yeah and I'm guessing you've never seen it before right?" She was started to get a hunch of what was going on.
shakes his head. He hadn't seen anything really that was in the room, besides the basics like fruits and some tea.
chuckles, "Do you know what year it is?"
fidgeted some more. "... Not the year I remember..."
pointed to the calendar nearby after she dried the dishes and put them away. "2013."
.... stared at it, not believing it. He was confused and worried and started to bite his lip.
pinched his cheek so he wouldn't do that. "I'm not lying here."
whined and rubbed his cheek. "But how..."
shrugs, "Times have changed?"
started to breath quickly and rushed out the door in a hurry.
rolled her eyes as she followed after him with her kitten in her arms. " It's still raining outside you idiot." She grabbed his collar again after.
pushed forcefully against her. "Let me go! I need to find her!"
looked to her with tear filled eyes. "My sister!"
stared at him before smirking and picked him up into her arms as her cat sat on her shoulder, "Calm down for a moment. Do you even know where you are or where you're going?"
shakes his head. "N-nee, but I need to find her now." He didn't like being picked up this much. He was a teenager after all..
knew that but he was frankly quite small for a teenager and she didn't want him running out into the storm. "Give me a name and place where she might be."
rubbed his eyes. "Elise... a-and she's in Belgium."
raised a brow, "Belgium? I never knew she had a third brother."
frowns. "What do you mean?"
set him on his feet once he settled down, "Belgium has an older and a younger brother who are both adults. She is an adult too."
frowned more at that and just looked more lost and confused. "I'm her older brother..."
seemed to have a deja vu moment as she looked at him. "So you're telling me that you're The Netherlands?"
pulled at his cheeks again, "And I'm guessing somehow he turned into you..." She wasn't too believing of it seeing the Dutchman was so mean to her.
made a sound and pulled away from her. "I've always been like this... It's everything else that's changed.."
raised a brow, getting more skeptical. "Or the fact that you're back to your old teenage self so you don't remember a thing as an adult."
frowns. "I don't understand... I've never been big..."
nods, "You originally were big. I'm guessing something turned you back to what you are now." She kind of preferred this version of the pot head.
frowned even more at that. "T-then what about my sister....?"
thought for a bit, "We can just call her to see if she's okay." She went to get the phone in the house.
nods as he clung to her a bit. "What is all of this stuff?"
glanced down to him. "What stuff?"
just kept looking at all the electronics. "Just... everything... what does it all do?"
saw that and took her time explaining them to him. "Would you like to listen in on the call I'm going to make?"
nodded at that. He needed to hear that his sister was okay.
pressed the speaker button on the phone after she dialed the number. She waited for a few rings before she heard someone pick up. "Hello?" The voice sounded a bit more younger than she had expected.
got as close to the phone as he could. "Elise?"
blinked as she heard some more giggles. "Hallo Nikolaas! I found a funny contraption in this place. Now I can hear your voice too. This place is fun!"
smiled a little, glad to know she was safe. "Where are you? I'm going to come over."
just watched as the happily little child's voice came from the receiver. "Um...I think this is suppose to be my home. I don't know~ But my bed was really comfy and Willem is all grown up!"
nods at that. "I'll be there soon!" He got away from the other and went to gather some things for his journey.
spoke to the girl and ended the phone call not long after. She picked up the kid before he could go get his stuff. " We can got there and back in less than a day by car."
blinked as he looked to her. "Car...?"
nods and showed him her keys, "My car isn't that far away." She brought him outside to where it was seeing the weather had lightened up.
stayed close to her, a bit fearful of the machine.
opened the door to the passenger side and buckled him in. She placed the kitten onto his lap before closing the door and getting into the driver's seat. She started heading to Belgium's place after.
cowered a bit into the seat, lightly peting the kitten as he looked around the car.
drove carefully, putting a bit of music on the radio for him to listen as she paid attention to the road.
wondered what kind of music this even was... it sounded too weird to him.
had simply put classical music since it was nice for the rides and her kitten liked it for some unexplained reason. Kara seemed to like to mew along it really.
still thought it was weird. Then again, everything here was weird now.
wouldn't disagree that she had a weird cat...
stopped petting it mostly because it gave off the odd aura of being weird.
stopped the car in Elise's driveway as the kitten purred and pawed at him. She turned the car off as she got out and opened the door for him. "Press the button and the seatbelt buckle will undo itself."
pressed the button, and right when he was free he lightly moved the kitten off him before running for the house.
shakes her head as she watched him and locked up the car. She headed to the house knocking on the door lightly as she adjusted the cat in her arms.
tried pushing at the door. He wanted to see his sister now to make sure she was okay...
opened the door for him to see a little girl giggling away with her cats while snacking on sweets.
ran right over to her and hugged her. He was glad at least not everything changed... well, at least not too much with her.
blinked and hugged him back as she giggled away. "Hallo broer! What are you doing here?"
didn't let her go. "I was worried about you... everything has changed."
looked at him funny, "Really? Everything has gotten much more fun and shiny!" Her eyes were sparkling as she found it really exciting rather.
slowly let go of her, nodding a bit. "But it's all so... different. Are you okay?" He wanted to make sure she wasn't hurt.
nods and smiles widely, "Why wouldn't I be? I have Willem and Fien and Liam and Lotte and Julie and all my other cats with me~" She giggled as it was evident she was a crazy cat lady as an adult.
just kept and eye on them as she stayed by the door.
nodded faintly, glad she at least had some company. "I'm just glad you're okay..." He smiled a little and hugged her again.
wiggles a bit wondering why he was hugging her so much. "Are you hungry? I found lots of sweets." There was a whole basketful beside her.
shakes his head a little. "I had food recently... It'll be a while before I eat again."
nods to that, " Okay then~". She went to put it away back in the kitchen after. She even greeted the Dane happily as she passed by her.
followed Belgium, wanting to stay close to her. He was just happy to know she hadn't changed, and that she seemed to be okay.
put it away neatly as she picked up the Dane's kitten and toted it away with her back to the couch to watch the TV she managed to turn on.
followed her still before climbing up onto the couch to sit beside her. He never remembered her having this many animal friends to keep her company.
always had one cat with her. She snuggled the kitten as she watched cartoons on a channel she found accidentally.
paid more attention to her than anything else. She meant a lot to him and he just wanted her to always be safe...
giggled away at how silly the cartoons were and glanced over to her broer every now and then. "So how come your here with that lady? You usually don't visit without a reason."
frowns a bit. "She showed up when I first woke up... And she's followed me around ever since."
looked at him funny, "Really? It's more like she brought you here in the metal box with wheels on it."
nods a little. "Well... that too... she seems to know a lot about this world."
smiles as she pet the odd little kitten who went back to the Dane who was now sitting on the couch. "That's cool! This place has so many sparkly things that I like~" She smiles.
nodded again as he looked around, still feeling out of place. He normally felt out of place at her house, but even now especially. "That's good..."
tilts her head at him, "What's wrong broer? You look like something is bothering you."
shakes his head. "I'm fine, it's okay." He was just nervous about the environment really.
reached over and snuggled him happily, "Are you sure? You're in an awfully hugging mood today~" She giggled, not bothered by the environment at all.
sighs. "I just missed you, that's all."
looked up to him, "Really? The last time I saw you was when you were a little shorter though."
nods at that. "I know... but... I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
reached up and fixed his hair for him so it didn't look like a mop. " I'm always okay though broer." She beamed a smile to him.
made a quiet sound and rubbed his hair after. "I just worry about you on your own some times..."
pulled away from him as she went to examine the Dane out of curiousity, plopping herself in the woman's lap without a care. "I can take care of myself quite well you know." She giggled after.
nodded and kept a close eye on her still.
hummed happily as she politely asked the Dane to help her with the knots in her hair and went back to watching cartoons.
still kept a protective watch on her. He always wanted the best for her, though it was obvious she was better off than him.
could tell and she was always appreciative of his protection. She waved for him to sit closer after. "Come sit here. You'll see the funny pictures on the flashing box better~"
shakes his head as he just kept his hands on his lap. "I'm okay here, dank u."
pouts at that but went back to watching the cartoons telling to the Dane how funny and weird they were.
didn't pay attention to them and just kept his eyes down. After a while though he hopped down from the couch and started heading for the door.
blinks whenshe saw that, "Where are you going broer?"
opened the door and looked back to her. "I need to go to the fields and see how my vegetables are doing."
raised a brow as she helped the other onto her feet. "Your fields aren't just down the road you know." She pointed out as Elise ran over to him.
nodded at that. "Which is why I should leave now..." He kept Elise close, not wanting her to be alone again.
shrugs, "Why don't we take that car thingy then?"
frowned a bit as he looked to it. "If the lady wants to take us..."
nods, "I don't mind as long as you don't create trouble for me." She stated as she opened the door to the seats in the back so the two could sit together.
climbed up onto the seat before helping Elise up to sit beside him. He didn't consider himself trouble in the first place.
shifted around as she was curious about the vehicle. She fidgeted a bit as they were buckled in by the Dane. "Ohhh. This looks so cool~"
seemed shy when the Dane buckled him in, but besides that he just focused on his sister.
didn't think much of it as she let her cat be held by Elise as she got into the drivers seat and started driving back to the Pothead's place.
looked out the window, watching the scenery go by as he looked for his fields.
watched curiously as she played with the kitten. It was really fun to watch everything fly by.
now worried about his garden. And his rabbit, but he tried to keep quiet about that.
stopped the car in the driveway to his house and parked it there. She helped them out before heading inside to look for the rabbit.
hopped out and ran to see how his gardens were doing.
followed after him as she wanted to help out too~
smiled a little when he got there and saw that seemingly nothing had changed. He went right to tending to it, getting his hands dirty instantly.
wasn't exactly the best at this but she helped out anyway getting all dirty too since she wanted to help her broer.
appreciated the help. He just wanted to keep things growing and alive, since he needed this food to live.
thought he was funny since they now had a mechanical box to store all the food they needed.
still didn't trust it... He liked his food fresh anyways.
thought it was magical since it kept food fresh.
didn't trust it still. Fresh food to him was food right from the ground. Or at least vegetables and fruit.
thought he was weird since she made his food earlier from the stuff from the fridge. She came back outside with a certain rabbit in her arms.
just cared for his garden a lot and was starving earlier. He also didn't know how she made it so quickly, since he was just thankful for food. When he saw his rabbit he stopped working and looked up, holding
looked down at him adjusted the lazy rabbit in her arms, "You know you're going to get her fur all dirty right?"
nods at that. "She's use to it... I'll give her a bath after, like normal..."
sighed and glanced over to Elise as well. "You'll all need a bath later." She pointed out before giving him the rabbit.
smiled and held the rabbit close, petting her happily before putting her down beside him as he went back to gardening.
stayed nearby deciding to get the hose for them after to hose them down and also to water the plants.
had to push the rabbit away a few times to keep her from digging up the carrots he had planted.
watched as Elise scooped up the rabbit into her arms and went inside to get some soap and towels. It turning into a hot day so she figured this wouldn't be a bad idea.
had to keep rubbing sweat from his forehead. Working in the heat with what he was wearing got tiring easily.
snuggled the rabbit as she was tired. She thought he looked funny in an oversized shirt.
did his best to work in what he had. He'd find some clothes to fit him properly tomorrow or something.
sighed as she started to clean the rabbit first before asking Elise if she wanted to play with the water outside or inside.
wanted a cosy bath inside but she washed her hands first while helping her clean the rabbit.
glad that the lady seemed safe enough to trust around Elise... He finished with the garden after a while and sat beside it, rubbing his face. It just smudged more dirt on him though.
((I should really pay more attention))
picked him up by the collar, set him aside from the garden and simply hosed him down. "You're covered in dirt." She noted as Elise giggled away while drying the clean rabbit with one of the towels.
((I do it all the time it's fine BD ))
flailed a bit and swatted at the water. He wasn't use to it coming from a hose or anything. He just went to the river normally.
cleaned him up with the soap and made sure he was squeaky clean before handing him the hose after showing him how to use it. "It's easier to water your plants this way."
moved it around in his hands a bit, before pointing it at his face and getting a face full of water.
put a towel on him as she picked up Elise. "We'll be inside getting her cleaned up as well. Come inside the house when you're done and I'll have another change of clothes for you."
nods at that as he continued to play with the hose, keeping the towel in his other hand so it didn't get dirty.
clapped her hands as she wanted to be clean now and giggled away as she clung to the Dane. "We'll see you soon~" The rabbit followed them as well.
nodded as he waved to her, going to water some nearby plants to see how good the hose worked. Once he had some fun with it he went to turn it off.
got Elise all cleaned up, bathed and into some warm fitting clothing. She did the laundry having all the kids clothing cleaned and drying.
headed in a bit after, a little cold so he had the towel around himself.
went over and handed him some warm fitting clothes as she tried to balance the rabbit in her arms too. "Here you go~"
nodded and took them before heading to the bedroom to change.
went to make a few snacks for them seeing they would be hungry by now.
very hungry. He had worked hard and barely took any breaks. He changed quickly before looking to the bed, thinking how nice it would be to have a nap on it right now.
giggled away as she was snacking on some pastries in the kitchen while trying to feed the kitten and the rabbit.
decided against it and headed back to where they were again, rubbing his eyes a little from tiredness.
picked him up and sat him down on one of the seats. She put some sweets and juice in front of him before going to clean up.
made a quiet sound once he was picked up and just looked around before finally settling on the sweets. He didn't feel like eating them, even though there was nothing wrong with them.
ate contently as she glanced over to him every now and then. "Are you okay broer?"
nodded as he kept his head down. "Ja. Nothing's wrong..."
frowns as she stopped eating, "You're not usually like that if something isn't wrong."
frowns a little. "I'm fine, it's okay, sis." He was just trying to keep things in track with his mind, making sure he didn't take anything for granted.
didn't see anything wrong as she was used to being treated well. She thought the Dane was like another caretaker she usually had. "Are you super duper sure about that?"
nodded as he started to fidget from the questions.
watched him as she was worried about him.
didn't think she had anything to worry about. He just kept sitting in the seat and looked at the table.
flicked his forehead after, "If there's something bothering you, it's better not to hide it until it's too late."
made a quiet sound an rubbed his forehead. "There's nothing bothering me. I just don't want sweets right now..."
rolls her eyes, "It's not good to lie to an adult you know." She helped Elise clean up once the girl was done and let her run around the house after.
started to get nervous and fidget more. "I-I'm not hiding anything though..."
picked him up as she brought him out of the kitchen. "I can't stop you if it feel that its so important to hide from me or your sister. But telling someone would be easier if it bothers you this much."
kept his eyes down as he was picked up, still not use to this treatment. "There's just no point to talk if what you have to say isn't important..."
brought him to where the rabbit was sitting on the couches, "It's better to get it over with than to let it bother others because of your own selfishness."
frowned more, as he didn't think of it as being selfish. He was just keeping to himself.
put him down on the couch after as she went to catch Elise who was chasing her cat.
kept quiet after, keeping his hands in his lap. He felt at a loss as what to do now.
giggled as she was set down next to him with the rabbit in her arms. "Are you sleepy broer? We can nap if you want."
nods a little. He was still tired, and thought that might help him calm down a bit more. "Where do we sleep though?"
shrugs, " There's a big bed in the main bedroom you two can share."
frowned as he looked to her. "I thought that was for you."
shook her head, "I prefer other places than fancy beds. Besides I doubt you'll want to be too far away from the lille en." She ruffled Elise's hair as the child giggled at that.
nodded at that. "I'm not use to beds like that though..." He found it hard to believe that it was his.
picked up the younger children and lead the way up to the bedroom, "Now then you should."
quickly got off the couch so he could follow her and Belgium. "But what if I get use to it?"
got to the bedroom and tucked Elise in first, "What's wrong with getting used to something that belongs to you?" She made a spot for him to climb into the bed as well.
managed to climb up onto the bed without help and got settled in beside Belgium. "This doesn't belong to me, just my rabbit and gardens belong to me."
tucked them both in properly, "Actually this entire house and property belongs to you. Well when you were an adult."
frowns. "...But I'm not an adult now. So what does that mean?"
shrugs as she let the Rabbit sleep with the kids as well. "It's still entitled to you either way."
couldn't believe that. He pushed his hands into the bed, measuring to see how comfy it was. He was used to laying on hay filled mattresses that some times poked him in the night.
waited for them to get comfortable before dimming the lights and heading downstairs to do some work.
yawned quietly before petting his rabbit and shifting close to Belgium and closing his eyes.
wiggled just a bit, finding her perfect spot before falling asleep quickly.
fell asleep soon after, once he felt that he and Belgium were safe.
