I know you're not talking about our uniforms.

_{[ By "our", he means himself and Alfred. ]}

[english_dignity]

Obviously, if you caught what I'm talking about, I am. Were you worried no one would know what country your athletes represent?

[ooc: /wave from pirate!mun]

[collossvs]

You're always so concerned with us; who else would you want to talk about?

Besides, I think it's cute in that Christmas sweater way. <sub>[ Plus, leave it to the Americans to be obnoxiously American. Aaron thought about the same as England in the beginning but. How can you not love them. They're so ridiculous and silly he wants seven. ]

[[ooc; Hey there, dear!]]</sub>

[english_dignity]

[Americans. He shook his head.]

Unfortunately for you, the Olympics aren't being held in December.

[collossvs]

It's still Russia. It may not be December but it's cold enough for it.

[english_dignity]

What I meant was that it's hardly the holiday season anymore. Time to put away Christmas sweaters.

[collossvs]

It's not actually a Christmas sweater; it's cute in the way a Christmas sweater is.

Did you not listen, or has old age made you go hard of hearin'?

[english_dignity]

Watch your tongue, brat.

At least your uniform was actually made in your country this year.

[collossvs]

At least ours don' look like we have the same designer as Italy; yours are so plain, they look like somethin' to lounge on the couch in.

[english_dignity]

We just didn't need to have our symbol visible from every single possible angle to be recognized.

[collossvs]

Neither would we, but if you're gonna do something, you ought to do it well.

[english_dignity]

Overkill is not always doing something 'well.'

[collossvs]

Except it's not overkill. It's simply something cute, though I imagine your tastes are too out-dated to appreciate it.

[english_dignity]

There is nothing 'out-dated' about my tastes, brat.

[collossvs]

Very out-dated, actually.

[english_dignity]

Please. Even your brother's and your citizens are still following British fashion.

[collossvs]

...still an old stick in the mud. _{[ Because he knows if England pulls that card, he can't win; Southerners have historically been Anglophiles, even more so than the north, to the point that the Southern accent was actually based on the British accent. And, though he may lie and deny it, South here really isn't an exception; goodness knows he once had a schoolboy crush on the elder with how his citizens have been. ]}

[english_dignity]

Nothing wrong with being a proper gentleman every once in a while. You in particular have to admit that.

[At least one of the boys understood manners, even if they didn't always use them.]

[collossvs]

Mph, I am a gentleman when the situation warrants it, thank you very much.

_{[ Yes, using them was always the issue with Aaron; he's perfectly capable of being charming and gentlemanly as can be...when there's a lady around or he's benefiting from it. ]}

[english_dignity]

[Chuckles, has a little smirk.]

That was my point, Aaron.

[collossvs]

_{[ He makes a little noise, something between an irate grumble and petulant whine instead of verbally responding; a bit childish, yes, but he's young and in the end Arthur is one of few he'd relax enough to be childish around. ]}

[english_dignity]

[Admits it, finds that childishness kind of adorable. At least in a situation like this. Has to cover a laugh.]

[collossvs]

_{[ The laughter only serves to make his pout deepen, bottom lip jutting out a bit. ]}

[english_dignity]

Keep pouting like that, and you might give a bird a target, Aaron.

[collossvs]

_{[ He pauses briefly, before it clicks and he wrinkles his nose, making a face. ]} For a gentleman, you're so gross.

[english_dignity]

You're the one pouting like a child.

[And it worked, didn't it? So have a smirk.]

[collossvs]

You're the one being a stick in the mud.
