it's pretty lonely at achtenberg

[britainsbiscuits]

Here we are again... You thought that the third time would be the charm, and we've wound up with a dead end. Again. Perhaps it just wasn't meant to be.

Doesn't stop you from holding onto hope, does it? Well, I suppose I can admire your spirit, Milady. I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait to see if you can make a miracle. I hope, for your sake, that it's not too-little-too-late.

Addendum: Oh, now. Why did you post this?! Don't do that!

[England doesn't like fighting. she's a lady. but there was a time when she was a pirate and occasionally it slips out]

I said I want to, not that I would. It would be a waste of my time.

[weiss_teufelin]

[Lady, her ass.]

Probably because you'll lose anyway, am I right?

[britainsbiscuits]

No, I just know what will make you run away!

I have to sleep, but I'll definitely tag back tomorrow! o/

[weiss_teufelin]

We won't know for sure until we try it, now won't we?

*nuzzlenuzzle* see you then!!

[britainsbiscuits]

[a simple shrug]

[weiss_teufelin]

...

Tsk.

[Flicks England's forehead.]

If you're gonna be like that, it won't be worth the bother.

[britainsbiscuits]

It never is with you and I.

[weiss_teufelin]

[She sighs.]

Fine. Be as miserable as you want. I'm going.

[And with that, she turns to leave.]

;-;

[britainsbiscuits]

[she wants to stop Prussia, of course. but her pride and her unwillingness to be hurt again stops her. so... yeah. she'll just sit here and wait for the game to pick up]

Englands like making things difficult for themselves, it seems.

[weiss_teufelin]

[She won't stand for people who make unawesome choices, like choosing to be alone and miserable. It may sound a bit hypocritical, given how she swears up and down that being alone is awesome, but she just can't stand seeing it in other people. Surely they can make the choice to be happy if they really wanted to be, whether they're alone or not.]

[And frankly. England disappoints her right now.]

she is nervous about scaring pru away, as always

[britainsbiscuits]

[really! she's not miserable. and this is her Mun's choice for staying at this game. she'd rather go back into the headspace and just. be alone]

...

[but the last thing she ever wants is for Prussia to be disappointed in her. one of her hang-ups is that she always wants Prussia to watch her, and only her, and think she's strong. so she is suddenly at Prussia's back, clinging to her waist. she hates to beg, hates to look weak, but she's at least easier to talk to than her male counter-part. SOMETIMES]

Come with me. [at least, even if Pru says no, she tried]

Awww

[weiss_teufelin]

[That's an effective way to stop a leaving Prussia. She looks over her shoulder at England, clearly hearing what she said.]

...You know my Mun isn't good at sticking with games.

Re: Awww

[britainsbiscuits]

[she knows! but she wanted to try, to show Prussia she wasn't choosing to be miserable. she was trying to make the best out of a bad situation. or at least her mun is]

It doesn't hurt to ask. [she subtly nuzzles Prussia's back before stepping back, making herself look composed again] Perhaps someday. I'm almost certain the game will die, anyway. Then, hopefully, Milady will not bother me again.

[weiss_teufelin]

[That makes Prussia smirk again. England and her antisocial ways, really. She turns so they can talk properly again.]

Or you can look at the bright side more and just... You know... [She shrugs. Romance, love--topics Prussia is clumsy at. She even flushes a little as she tries to get the words out while not being able to meet England's eyes.] ...You'll find someone who can be better at cheering you up and stuff... [And would stay by England's side in a way that would make her happy among other things.]

[britainsbiscuits]

[grr. how does she even respond to that? does she say that she's tried it over and over again and it hasn't happened? that she's getting tired of sticking her foot in her mouth?]

Of course I can. You're terrible at making anyone feel better.

[weiss_teufelin]

Oi, I try. That's definitely a lot compared to what other people do...

[Like France. Or Spain in her most insensitive. The rest of the world when they're feeling vindictive and cruel. Prussia actually pouts a little. Really, this is what she gets for trying to make you feel better.]

[britainsbiscuits]

[she's grateful, don't worry. but she can't show it right now. can't get all mushy again]

Well, if you really want to make me feel better, you'll buy me a beer. I want to forget about my stupid Lady.

[weiss_teufelin]

[She snorts, definitely not lady-like.]

Ladies don't drink beer.

[She isn't Prussia if she doesn't take a jab like that. Her good will hardly comes easy when she's also being given a hard time.]

[britainsbiscuits]

Then you're not a lady, are you?

[weiss_teufelin]

'Never said I was, but you always insisted you were.

[britainsbiscuits]

Are you going to buy me that beer, or not? [let's get drunk and laugh about that idiot France]

[weiss_teufelin]

You should be buying me a fucking beer. This cheering up business is hard work!

[But she leads her away so they can get smashed. Who gets to pay can be settled later.]
