voice; after the end of the event

[cautious_knight]

[There's shuffling, and Lithuania's voice sounds hoarse when he speaks, not strong or happy or caring or sad as normally... Not eternally nervous like it will be much later in his live, or really scared, but there definitely is a hint of broken-ess in his tone.

Everyone is free to have noticed that Lithuania wasn't around at all after the first day, and Poland will have noticed that his partner has neither said much nor reacted to much at all after that. Everyone has different ways to deal with fear, and Lithuania's problem was that the fear had no obvious source.]

I'm sorry.

[It doesn't take Lithuania long to saddle his pony, to him it is an everyday thing. He watches the younger nation until he is done, and the leads his pony to the door.]

Beach, forest or fields?

[Maybe a few moments longer for America, as he gets caught up on one loop or strap or whatever. But soon he's on 'his' pony and is following after.]

How about the fields?

[Might help him get back into the swing of things. He'll have to ask Poland if he can borrow the horse again sometime.. or maybe try to obtain his own.]

Alright.

[He looks over at America to see how he's doing while he leads the horse into the right direction easily.]

How long has it been since you were on horseback?

[America keeps up really well. Helps that he's good with animals, at least.]

Mostly during my Western Expansion days, I rode a lot! Primarily during the early 1800s; after I broke free from England, I realized that my house was bigger than I thought! Paved way for a lot of trails, dealt with horses and oxen... probably a little over 100 years ago I had to stop relying on them so much? My place got really industrialized real fast!

You don't use horses at all anymore?

Action

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Not really. Primarily we use cars now! They're faster and can carry more!

Like planes?

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Except cars stay on the ground. Haven't invented flying cars yet! But will, of course, as anything's possible in my place!

...Your place sounds great. [He laughs and lets the horse gain speed, enjoying the wind blowing into his face.]
