voicetesting. kinda. he's just in my head bitching about economics. :|

[ Germany is very concerned of what others think of him. Especially regarding his past. He's worked very hard to secure his bolstering economy, and a respectable reputation in the EU, and all that.

Other than Greece being upset at him for acting like a parent, gods forbid. But he fully believes in what he is doing and feels secure that the other countries are on his side.

Seeing his username ruffles his feathers though. ] The fact that you did not choose "work makes freedom" or something atrocious is much appreciated, and my native word for winning/victorious is admittedly relevant but...

[ It almost seems like he shifts his rigid stance, momentarily - Germany's sign of insecurity. ] Others who do not speak German may misinterpret...I worry your choice may have been inappropriate.

[ Because he cannot get over how everything he does seems to be misinterpreted by someone or trigger someone and as a result he is almost ashamed of himself and goes out of his way to be a people-pleaser in relation to public image and political-correctness. ]

Do not look at me like that. I am quite proud of my people. Simply I am now, perhaps, more...cautious than you seem to be.

[ Mun mutters something in irritation. ] Such language is hardly necessary. Why are you so judgmental of me? ._.

Yeah, it looks pretty bad.

[Because Israel lives to make him uncomfortable. But he's mostly amused.]

[siegreich]

[ ;-; ] ...

[ If you think so then everyone will. Mental flailing. ] Perhaps...well it is just a word. A word that is, in itself, innocent.

[eternaliyah]

Words have history.

[He's got his eyebrow up, even though he knows reich technically just translates to 'land' or 'realm'.]

[siegreich]

[ Almost apparently flustered. Hasn't he paid you enough? ] Well what would you have me do?

[eternaliyah]

[neverrrrrr]

Writer makes the rules. You're stuck with it.

So. Suffer, I guess.

[But the smile he cracks is not entirely mean-spirited.]

siegreich really does mean triumphant :L

[siegreich]

Hmph.

[ Desperate change of subject. ] What is all this raucous about your people lately?

[ Oh no, he's not pretentious at all, not intentionally, he'll insist. ]

the pieces just have so many connotations 8<

[eternaliyah]

[the smile drops away, and he purses his mouth]

My own damn business, that's what.

Actually, speaking of, I seriously need a drink. You can buy me one.

[He's over a foot shorter than germany and perpetually skinny besides, but that doesn't stop him nudging Germany toward the nearest bar.]

If it makes you feel better, my mun said "It probably doesn't mean what I think it does." before I translated it, Herr Deutschland.
