Accidental voice/video

[cautious_knight]

[The device catches Lithuania mid-sentence, and the soft sound of skin against iron indicates that he is turning the communicator over and over in his hands while thinking.]

-still ask him. It wouldn't even have to be now - he can't remember, he was younger-

Maybe I could ask Hungary. They mentioned that he was married to Austria, he would know the procedures for nations - might, he... she is the woman [And at this point the device clatters to the ground and switches to video. You get a good shot of Lithuania from below, head buried in his hands, hair in disarray, as if he's been worrying about this for a while now.] I can't do this!

Y-yes. I'm alright. Sorry for making you worry.

[Calming down.]

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She's hovering on the edge of asking how things are with Poland. After all, he was muttering about something. But after all that stuff with the Major... she's learning not to pry. Somewhat.] You sure?

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I-I was just wondering about something, but it's nothing to worry about.

[Pause that sounds as if he was pondering asking something.]

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

...If you ever need advice or anything, I'm right here.

You know that me and Pakistan broke up?

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

I didn't know for sure, but I could guess. [Because Elaine talked to her once while she looked really bummed. But Elaine won't mention that.]

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Have you talked to her since? I... I want to apologize, but I don't know how.

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think I have. Or if I did, it wasn't about anything big.

[She looks away thoughtfully.] I guess you should get her something, then. Although, I've never been in her situation before, but if I was then I probably wouldn't even want to talk to you, for a while. Unless she's really upset about it, then apologizing might make her feel worse. Because I expect that she'd be trying her best to forget all about it.

I wouldn't really know, though. I've never been in that kind of situation before.

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

She said that we could stay friends. When...

Before I told them.

[Thinking hard about what kind of present she would like.]

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

That's nice of her.

Told them...?

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Me, Poland and Pakistan decided to meet and talk about everything before I made my decision.

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh. I hope it wasn't too awkward.

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It wasn't just awkward, but also very painful. For everyone involved, I guess. But ...I had to make a decision. Not making it would have been much worse, no matter how much I didn't want to. And I consider Pakistan the stronger one of them, for whatever it is worth.

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

At least you didn't leave both of them in the dark. That's very brave of you.

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It took me some time and advice to gather the courage.

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Was it worth it?

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...Poland is happy.

Private

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Is that a yes?

Private

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I guess that it is the best possible outcome.
