十二 [Video]

[The video switches on to Japan, and he leaves the device lying there. He's got his uniform on, though his arms aren't through the sleeves, and he's looking pretty grim. Ignoring that, he seems to be in the hospital which is not in good shape.]

...Forgive me for what has occurred.

Ah, but if I may ask, what has happened to the hospital? It is... [a pause. he looks away from the camera.]

My sword is missing. I am not sure how I will maneuver back to the apartments, but I suppose I can try my best.

[an even longer pause. so much pausing.]

My sincerest apologies to those I have let down. [and he reaches over and clicks off the feed]

[ EVER BEEN TO THE LURAY CAVERNS? It's actually quite pretty. ]

Nope! I've heard Iceland around, but I dunno about Norway and Sweden and I dunno who else is in Denmark's family.

Days. Why did you have to be so slow coming back?!

[ He might be unconsciously holding Japan tighter to his chest. Not uncomfortably so, but noticeable. ]

[NO I HAVE NOT]

Hmm.. ... A-ah, I apologize.. [noting that difference, and he frowns a little sheepishly before allowing his head to rest against America. ...who knows, it's some form of attempted comfort.]

I did not intend to take so long to return.

[ IF YOU'RE EVER IN VIRGINIA, SEE THEM. They are America's mind. ]

I'd be way sadder if you had done it on purpose! Or pissed if you got some cool afterlife deal and you got to party and stuff when all I ever got was dark and waiting, because that'd be totally unfair since everyone knows that me and Jesus need to hang out.

[ America doesn't mind the head thing at all. In fact, even though he's only barely aware of it, the gestures seems to be helping. ]

[I SHALL TRY. ONE DAY.]

It was not 'cool', I assure you. [He frowns still, though glad to notice that America's mood seems to be improving. The experience was something he never wanted to face ever again. Really.. And to have it last for so long.. sob.]

...but it is over, now.

Good! I mean, well, not good, but I didn't... yeah.

...You okay? You're alive, yeah, but okay?

[he's quiet for a little while.]

...It is hard to be so well after all that has happened. But as a Japanese man, I will stay strong.

[ nod nod. America returns the silence for a moment, but it's more thoughtful than sad. ]

It's hard, but you can do it. You'll be fine. You always are.

Yes. It is bushido.

...

And are you okay, America-san?

Whatever that means.

[ yep, he's back in a good mood ]

Hmm, me? Yeah! ...Aside from my embassy goin' down, that's a bummer, but I'm getting the bastards that did it. And you're back now, and everyone I know is alright, so... yeah.

It means warrior spirit. ... And I am glad to hear it, truly.

[a small sigh. America's cheerful air somehow shakes away those other worries temporarily. It's kind of nice.]

Where are you staying, if I may ask?

Ohhh, then I'm bushido too!

[ He's trying to figure out if there's an American version of that. May or may not be incorporated into the Rail Tracer story. ]

Those apartments on Gohl. That's where Namine's living, and Canada's over there, pretty sure England's coming over too, and there's this there who's a real jerk and if he's a jerk while I'm there, I'm gonna bop him on the head!

You would say you are a knight. Bushido is the code of the samurai.

[Samurai will always be better than knights. but anyway.]

Hmm.. [England offered for him to stay there but he's just thinking.] I see. I have things to do at Horton, for now, but..

I'm not old enough to be a knight. ...But I would've made an awesome knight.

[ NOT. BITTER. While Japan may be a masochist, America has a complex about not having as much history as other countries, which is TOTALLY UNFAIR because it's like he was destined to be a knight. Or something. ]

Buuuuutttt? [ HOPEFUL, EAGER FACE. ]

[thinking this over]

Seifer-san is a knight, despite being so young. Perhaps age does not matter so much, here. [he's a weird kinda knight BUT ANYWAY. he sees that hopeful face, and... ... weakness.]

...But, perhaps I could stay with you. Ah, England-san offered it, I mean.. I would not want to impose, if you do not want me there.

He's a knight? Why are all the knights around here such jerks? [ The only knights he knows are Seifer and I guess England. SO. But YAY HAPPY FACE NOW. ]

No, it'd be awesome to have you there! I need someone to keep England from biting my head off! Stay with us, stay with us!

Ah, he is simply.. [Actually nothing about him is simple. But why does he have to defend you guys to each other.] He is kind at heart.

... A-ah, very well, I will stay.

Is he tsundere? [ aren't you glad you taught him this word. ]

Yay! [ If he wasn't already hugging you, he would be. In the mean time, have a big toothy grin. ] Cool, we'll set up a place for ya to sleep! I didn't salvage my sleeping bag in the rush to get out, but they've gotta have something for people to borrow!

Yes, I believe so. [Oh so glad.

and hnnngh hugging and grinning and he's just relaxing there leaning against him because this is his life and he might as well get used to it.]

Ah, I truly appreciate it, America-san. Perhaps I can help with cooking.. [Since if England's there oh god]

Okay! That explains it! [ EVERYONE AMERICA KNOWS IS TSUN WTF.

That's right, Japan. Don't fight it. Embrace it, because it's not going away. ]

Yeah, you make good food! Cook for me again! [ AMERICA'S PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOMACH ENGLAND'S FOOD. ]

[Everyone ever is tsun. almost. I don't know about embracing it you crazy enthusiastic American, but at least Japan is just going with it.]

I would be glad to, of course. Ah, it's nice to speak with America-san.. though it is difficult to get the chances to, sometimes. [Because Discedo is a hell hole.]

[ Some day Japan will embrace it and he will have America to thank. ]

It's a little easier than back home! Our houses aren't that close, after all, and it still takes a while to fly from California to your house and we can't stay over at each others' places all the time and long distance phone calls kinda suck and then you guys always complain to me about time-differences but who cares, you should wanna talk to me even if it is 4am!

Discedo might suck, but at least we live closer together.

[HEEEE THAT ICON.]

...You have a point. ... Ah, come to think of it, I have grown closer to many people, here...

But I'm closest, right? Because I'm the best!

[ Yes he's making a contest out of this. He's the type of person that he has to top whatever story someone is telling with an even awesomer story. ]

[Sheepishly trying to wave that off.. Closest.. he doesn't even know. WHY MUST YOU DO THIS.]

A-ah? Closest? Do you think? I.. ah..

I'd better be!

[ Might be shaking Japan just slightly. ]
