[This is the sound of Toris falling off the bed in a half-panic and knocking his phone off the hook at the same time.]

Ah-I-w-what is this? [Did he get invaded again he would have remembered that right is there someone else in that bed] Hello?

[And anyone at 1333 Benny street can feel free to tell him to get off the floor or whatever.]

[Just]

No one is asking you to.

It....it isn't the same here. We...we don't have our people. I....I can not leave brother...but that is because he is family.

[She promised him here. She promised...]

I will never give up my independence again. But I am not going to fight brother over that here. Is no point.

[vytis]

[He already has a stomachache and he can feel it getting worse as the seconds tick by.]

I-I understand, I wouldn't ask you to do anything, I just-- Could you not tell him where I am? ...Unless he asks directly, I wouldn't want him to get angry at you. [Though he's sure that's just a stopgap, if anything at all.]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

[Pats his hand. With a sad smile.]

I won't tell him. I promise.

[vytis]

[His smile is only slightly forced, just to make it seem less thin.] Thank you. This is a lot to adjust to without having to deal with him right away when he's-- Is he really from then?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Yes...I'm afraid so.

America is as well....which. Well you know what it was like.

I have my own house here. You are always welcome to come over if you like.

And I-I've been here for over a year if you need help with anything....I'll need to tell you a few things anyway....

[vytis]

[wincing at how long she's been here] Thank you, Miss Ukraine. You're welcome here as well--I'll have something prepared next time. I haven't really heard much--I did speak to America, but he--said something about milk?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Yes. Don't drink it. The milkman poisons the ones he leaves here. The ones in the grocery stores are safe though.

[vytis]

[okay, poisoned milk, that explains why America said not to drink it, check] A-alright. [he has entered the "you know what why not all this insanity" stage, so he's calmer than he was]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

It's ...a lot to take in. I know.

[vytis]

I'll get used to it. [or something] I-is anything else poisoned?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Just the milk usually. They tend to do other things once a month but that's usually around the holidays.

[vytis]

W-what sort of things?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Ah...has anyone told you about death here?

[vytis]

...No. [looking more worried than before]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Well....it doesn't last.

And...we c-can die.

[vytis]

[Excuse him a moment as he absorbs this.]

[...]

...A-a-alright.

[...aaaaaaa he does not look calm at all at this point]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

....r-right...

[Just kinda...staring at her feet.]

[vytis]

[He kind of wants to blurt apologies to her but instead he looks down at his own feet, with their unfamiliar shoes.] I-it's not permanent, though, s-so it-- [still sounds awful, honestly]

Thank you for warning me. [s-smile?]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

N-No...it isn't permanent.

....j-just be careful...alright?

[vytis]

I'll be fine, don't worry about me.

You'll be careful, too?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[Have a smile.]

[vytis]

I-I know I haven't been here long, but if you ever need help, I'll do what I can. [as long as you don't bring Russia over]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Thank you. A-and the same for you.

[She knows that much.]

Ah...if you don't want to be alone now..I could show you around the town if you'd like.

[vytis]

If you're not busy? I wouldn't want to interrupt anything.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

No. I wasn't doing anything at home really. Just some knitting...but I was due for a break anyway.
