[Lithuania is sitting on the windowsill, looking outside. He's holding the communicator in his hands, looking down at it with distant eyes.]

Sometimes I think that the greatest ability of humans, right after compassion, is the ability to conceive children.

[There's a little pause, as if the next words were an afterthought.] I sometimes have to wonder how it is to know that you are able to found a family like that.

You-

How did that happen?

[thinkin-man.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[It is still far from anything remotely scandalous by modern standards, about as innocent as a kiss can get, but it doesn't need to be more for butterflies to fill Lithuania's stomach until he thinks that it might burst from it.

When they break away for air, he softly nuzzles Poland's hair with his nose.] I would never regret being with you. [That is what he came down here for, after all. To tell Poland this.]

R-right. I should have knows that. It just... you can fly, and go beyond the stars, I wondered...

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It was nice when we had a child during the event.

...I'm a bit envious, I guess, I should be more careful.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Why do you ask?

[thinkin-man.livejournal.com]

Just curious.

I don't mean to pry, but, ah...

Is there something wrong?

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It was... strange, to have a child in that event, but nice. And with both Poland and me being male, there is no chance to have ones.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

How about you?

[thinkin-man.livejournal.com]

Well, I think everyone here has their unusual points.

I'm human, but maybe not entirely anymore. I'm hard to classify.

It's a long story.


Oh, and pleasure to meet you.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

You could adopt.

...Even though I can't... you know, like... give you a family?

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

May I have your name?

[ action ]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[He laughs softly, a comforting, only barely amused sound.] Wouldn't that be my fault just as much as yours?

[thinkin-man.livejournal.com]

Johnny, and you are?

[Same filter]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It ...would not be the same. Even more since the child would most likely be human.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

...Is it like, really okay with you?

[Same filter]

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

That's true.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I chose you, and I don't regret it. Knowing fully well that we [are of the same sex/gender because to him there is no difference but akljsdhfjkasdhakj he can't say that.] ...couldn't be blessed with children of our own... But most nations aren't, even if onse of them is female.

[Y'know, the only reason for Greece and Egypt is that Rome was, well, Rome. Very active and stuff.]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Have you ever thought about children?

[Same filter]

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't. Things have been hectic enough without them.

[He tries to smile, and mostly manages]

...I like, guess that's true. Still... [Still, it would be nice. It's important to his people, so it feels important to him, so it's sad to know they can't have that.]

[ action ]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

We have our people... I guess that is more children than any human would ever have.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[There's no point in pointing out that it's not the same, because they both know that. Poland laces his fingers in between Liet's, gently.]

...And we like, have each other, too.
