careful, shaky dusting off

[unicornsandpixies]

Waking me up aft all this time? What is is, ten years? Or nearly that. Don't blame my sense of time, I'm not yet so old that I don't know what year it is. I'm going to have to politely ask you to reconsider, seeing as I'd just gotten used to the quiet.

H-hey, don't just ignore what I said! I just told you, I'm not coming out like this, so you can-- [a carefully delicate cough] Well, I'll put it for you a bit more plainly, then. No. And since we hardly see each other anymore, I don't think we need to waste time on further pleasantries. Good day.

[he turns to leave]

No, I'm not bitter about being left when I stopped entertaining you! Although I do imagine something like that would be fair grounds for a dispute.

Being so impatient again, little Albion?

[unicornsandpixies]

It's the opposite. I don't want anything to do with this.

[ladybritannia]

Surely it can't be that bad. It gives you the chance to see people at least.

[unicornsandpixies]

Who said I wanted to see people?

Besides, I doubt there's many of us around anymore. N-not that I'd want to see any of them or anything, but even if I did, it's pointless.

[ladybritannia]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

There's no one you'd like to see?

[unicornsandpixies]

It doesn't matter.

[ladybritannia]

[Chuckles.]

Well, it's nice to see you anyway, Albion.

[unicornsandpixies]

Ah, well, seeing as the situation can't be helped, I suppose I could say the same.

How have you been?

[ladybritannia]

I've been well. Some of us have been entertaining ourselves making Rome miserable. [Smirks]

And your papa says hello.

[unicornsandpixies]

And winning, I hope?

[of course she is. that's the sort of people they are.]

Say hello to him for me. I'd be sure to pass it along to my brothers, but they're... ah, well, they're themselves. As usual.

[ladybritannia]

[Sigh]

Those boys. And of course I am. I'm one of the few he never managed to get children from.

[And is perfectly smug about that.]

And Albion, you do know that you none of you share a father, right?

no bc mun has been out of hetalia fandom for 10 years ksdfksdj

[unicornsandpixies]

Mmm. Part of what makes each of us so unique.

[the last bit is uttered in his Finished British Sarcasm.]

Still, a courtesy is a courtesy.

No worries, Britannia and England's parentage is still missing from canon

[ladybritannia]

[Smiles and ruffles his hair.]

Of course. Ireland and Scotland really do take after their fathers. You, on the other hand, I think, take after me the most.

Even if you did inherit Germania's hair.

[unicornsandpixies]

[surprisingly, he accepts the hair ruffles without verbal protest, and only a bit of a scowl that says 'I'm not a kid, I'm a grown empire'.]

Then it's for the best that I did.

It's a shame they're not more like you. Maybe they'd be more reasonable.

[said as if he is completely reasonable at all times and doesn't start half of the fights himself.]

[dirtempire]

Did you truly expect different? These people are of a fickle sort--though I doubt you need to worry. It's a matter of time before you're granted your wish, I'm sure. [ They started out as an Hetalia muse, but that was also nearly ten years ago and...well, it's been a few years since Hetalia's canon was more or less left entirely. Perhaps they would've also been shelved had nothing changed. ]

[unicornsandpixies]

[he snorts disdainfully.]

I should hope so. Surely he can't keep pestering me forever.

[honestly, mun had considered that for this one as well, because 'struggling punk rock artist with a night job as a medium' is an infinitely more entertaining concept for him.]

[dirtempire]

He's a human, presumably--forever's a terribly long time for them.

[ admittedly, that would be interesting to see around as well ]

[unicornsandpixies]

Mmm, it is. And you'd think some countries would have more patience, seeing how long we've been around, but for a certain few of us I think ten minutes is a painfully long span of time.

[dirtempire]

I get the feelin' you're one of those "certain few". Am I not mistaken?

Impatience can hardly serve you well.

[unicornsandpixies]

Hardly! I'm extremely patient!

[perhaps he doth protest too much]

[collossvs]

Are you quite certain of that? I fear I feel myself doubting you.

[unicornsandpixies]

Did I stutter?

[collossvs]

No; you just weren' entirely honest.

[unicornsandpixies]

And how would you know?

[collossvs]

You got defensive, for one.

[unicornsandpixies]

[incomprehensible grumbling]
