On his mun considering places

[potatomasher]

Are you sure about this? Your confidence seems hardly convincing. You are still having doubts despite improving and working on the mistakes you still make. Mistakes you could reduce by avoiding to respond from work or via phone. Or when you are obviously not rested enough.

Still. I can't keep you from doing this if you actually decide on a place. Just make sure to think this through. You still have work and responsibilities to attend to.

Ja! When I got my coat back I lost the red hair, though it's still really long. [he can sit on it and nearly trip on it]

[potatomasher]

[...as long as he's not sprouting feathers, Germany won't say a thing.]

But you aren't growing a beak or talons yet, I hope. ...and keep out of trouble.

[awesomemich]

[well, lately he has been]

Ke...se...se...se... lately there's been these mirrors... [shivers]

[potatomasher]

[So. Not. Preening. But he can build you a perch if you need one... Or a bird bath. Or an oversized cuckoo clock to life in.]

Mirrors? How are mirrors a bad thing? Especially for you, brother.

[awesomemich]

They don't show me as my awesome self! [ah but he has a unicorn to perch on and has built a nest of covers]

[potatomasher]

.............

[......]

...brother...

[Suppressing the initial urge to hit you over the head over here. Well. At least until the information sinks in fully.]

Wait. What does it show you?

[Fine. Then he won't make anything for you.]

[awesomemich]

[of course he'd love his little brother to make things for him, it would be cute]

A phoenix! And then parts change!!! [he doesn't like that part]

[potatomasher]

[Ah~ And since Germany isn't cute (or at least claims not to be), he won't be doing a single thing... Aside from punching you if you start getting into the molt and leave feathers everywhere. That's why he doesn't keep birds: They make too much of a mess. Feathers. Feather dust. Shells from their food...]

Break it.

[There's an unsaid 'You break everything else as well.' following after this.]

[awesomemich]

Oi! I painted over it! I don't think it's breakable, though. [and he was beginning to get superstitious]

[potatomasher]

...painted. [Unsaid: 'You didn't even TRY to break is?' - He's starting to get worried here. Not that it shows. That frown is fixed in place.]

What parts changed, then?

[awesomemich]

Ja! Painted! [he was so proud of the fact that he had painted the mirror]

[but for the other question, his voice became very soft and small] Well... there's... feathers where there shouldn't be feathers...

[potatomasher]

.......

[He takes a moment to answer.]

Do I... Want to know, brother?

[awesomemich]

NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! [he doesn't want to know, even]

[potatomasher]

[Oh. Such a strong reaction. Germany can't help but... Blink in confusion. It must be... Bad.

So for a while Germany says nothing. That is until he puts a somewhat reluctant hand on his brother's shoulder. Well. That's as much comfort as you can expect from him.]

Just try not to loose yourself completely. England mentioned that.

[And he's removing his hand again. He's likely had been counting down a set amount of seconds about how long he was to keep up that sort of physical contact.]

[awesomemich]

Kesesesese~ Like they could make me someone other than my awesome self! They can change me physically, but I'll never stop being me!

[perhaps its his arrogance talking, perhaps he didn't want to admit his fear in front of his younger brother, or perhaps he truly believed his will was greater than the Rulers' magic]

[potatomasher]

I hope you are right, brother.

[Germany will still worry. Because being the pessimist he is, he always worries.]

If you are not, I will have to beat you back to your senses.

[You know he'd do that.]

[awesomemich]

It won't be a problem! I'll keep my own awesomeness and protect you as well! Kesesesese~ [he gives a thumbs up]

[potatomasher]

You're saying that now, brother. But England also told me that the two of you are from the past so... You won't even recognize me.

[And he will just plain look at his brother here, any possible emotion hidden well.]

[awesomemich]

Oi! I recognized Amerika and he's older than I remember!

[don't worry Germany, he'll just mistake you for one of his other brothers for awhile and then be proud that he was successful in the unification]

[potatomasher]

Ah...

[He's not sure if that was supposed to be a relief now. America is, after all, older than him. But he won't object. Rather, he just nods.]

If you say so.

[awesomemich]

And if it's a problem, mun said something about canon update... whatever that means.

[potatomasher]

Hn. According to my mun the challenge lies within trying to avoid a canon update. And now that they are finished with that application, they are getting restless.

[Just a mild sigh. He's doomed.]

[awesomemich]

Ja, but my mun doesn't want to hurt you. She has this thing about hugging random people... and then blames us...

[potatomasher]

...hurt...? Ah... I... I will be fine, brother. Tell your mun that. If she still wishes to send you on a canon update later, she can still do so then. But she shouldn't worry about me.

[Pause.]

...meeting my brother when he was a strong and powerful nation... Doesn't sound that bad actually.

[Because you know he's always been curious and only knows his brother from after he's already given up so much of himself for Germany's sake.]

[awesomemich]

Kesesesese~ She'll still worry since that's what she does, but she'll wait a bit!

I'm always a strong and powerful nation!!!! [boastboastboast]
