Poor Canada =w=

[the_maple_man]

I'm glad that your friend came by, too, eh? I think you really needed the cheering up, Mun, so I'm glad she was able to make you smile especially today.

I'm also glad that you finally remember me. [A slight pause as he smiles and waits.] You do remember who I am, right?

Right?

[...Who?]

...It's Canada.

[dissectinghersmile]

Canada? As in the country my mun is from?

...Are you sure you're feeling all right, sir? I don't think one person can be an entire country. The population can't be that small... I thought my mun was exaggerating!

[the_maple_man]

Um, yeah...

[It's always a bit of a dilemma when he comes across people who find out about the whole Nation gig.]

And I'm okay. You also don't have to believe me. It's fine. I know it sounds crazy and all.

[dissectinghersmile]

My fiance is a headless fairy from Irish folklore, I'm sure you don't have to worry about me doubting you.

[What you do have to worry about is him offering to dissect you.]

[the_maple_man]

...Okay.

[Well that's something you don't hear everyday. And yeah, that is worrisome.]

[dissectinghersmile]

Ah, I certainly didn't mean to scare you! I'm sorry, I do need to work on my social etiquette. I'm Dr. Shinra Kishitani, pleased to meet you, Canada-san.

[the_maple_man]

Oh, don't worry about it. I'm fine. [He smiles. It's really okay.] I'm pleased to meet you too, Dr. Kishitani.

[dissectinghersmile]

So what's it like being a country? You must have quite a lot of work.

[the_maple_man]

It can be, yeah, because we help out in the government when we can. But nowadays I've got a bit more free time than I used to.

[dissectinghersmile]

That's good to hear. So what about the wars? Do you feel the pain of your country? Or is your country in trouble when you're in pain...

[the_maple_man]

[So many questions. It's a bit hard for him to keep up.] Well, we're mostly affected by what's going on with our country and our people, really...

What about you Dr. Kishitani? What is it that you do?

[dissectinghersmile]

Ah, that makes sense. So then, if there's a flu outbreak, would you get ill as well? Feeling the pain of the people and all?

Ah, me? I'm a sort of doctor, though my work is a little discreet. I have a hobby in studying extraordinary beings as well, though!

[the_maple_man]

It can happen, yeah. We don't really get sick unless something really bad happens.

Oh. May I ask what kind of extraordinary beings have you studied?

[dissectinghersmile]

Amazing... The connection between you and your citizens must be very strong!

Well, Dullahans like my wife, and a friend of mine who has inhuman regeneration abilities. He's a regular human, yet when he's angry, he can lift entire vending machines, and survive!

[sandlight]

[ Have a happy smile, Canada. Sandy knows who you are. ]

[the_maple_man]

[The smile is happy, yes, and it warms him inside out for some reason. Canada can't help smiling back. It's nice to be recognized.]

Hello...

[sandlight]

[ A little pair of glasses appear above his head with a question mark. Then he frowns. Maybe he's asking why Canada seems down? ]

[the_maple_man]

Hm? [It takes him a moment to puzzle out what that might mean.] Are you asking why I'm sad?

[sandlight]

[ He nods his head with a smile. ]

[the_maple_man]

It's just my Mun, I guess. When she's feeling down, then everyone of us kind of feel down too. [Him and the other people in the headspace. And there's another thing making him feel kind of down, but he doesn't mention it, not wanting to sound whiny. It's an old complaint anyway.]
