“I mean, it makes sense with my diet of takeout and cheap meals. I am going to go buy a head of lettuce though. Wait, did you say severe?”

❝   Yeaaap! Severe. I even read that it sometimes means you have cancer! I don’t think it’s true and considering you are a nation you have nothing to fear!         Alfred laughed at what he said himself. He found the whole ordeal rather fun, to see his sister crave lettuce for no apparent reason.

“Why am I craving lettuce?”

“Studies show that an unusual craving for lettuce may be related to a severe iron deficiency. ”

Turkey

At this point, Sadik was beginning to wonder who American’s felt just calling each other by their first name. Maybe he was simply old fashioned in that way alone, but it felt fairly uncomfortable for the other nations to use his first name, especially ones that he didn’t know him very well even though they had to interact with each other at certain points in their long lives.

“Yer welcome, America, and honestly, it’s no problem, but I’ll have to ask that you call me call ‘Turkey’,” he replied with a small smile. “That may make me old fashioned to today’s youth here, but using my first name like that makes me uncomfortable.”

All Alfred could do was to respect the man’s wishes, at least that was what he was supposed to do. Not only was Turkey older, but he was at his home as well, it was all but good courtesy. Alfred just hated to use their nation names. It just reminded him of the job lived.         Whatever you wish, dude!        Was he supposed to say, dude? No, it would probably be just as bad as calling Turkey by his first name, but Alfred wanted to find any excuse not to use country names. Turkey especially, mainly because it just reminded him of food.

Annie

    “ Is that so? ”

      Annie smiles, retracting their hand a bit. Second meetings
      with the heiress were almost always turned down – they
      hated dragging others into their strange, drama filled life.
      Today, however, Annie was suffering from the same ailment
      he was. There was a warmth in his smile and youth to his
      spirit that made him terribly hard to forget.

    “ I suppose we could delay our final goodbye an hour or two. ”

      Annie didn’t want to be the one to suggest they exchange
      numbers or meet up tomorrow – it was too embarrassing.
      But perhaps this would be a fine compromise. At the end,
      maybe they’d work up the courage to plan another meetup.

Alfred’s smile widened when the woman agreed to delay the goodbye for a few more hours, it would give him some time to get to know her, and maybe even exchange numbers. He thought about it, but considering his ––– work, he had to be careful about the humans he surrounded himself with. Countries were always easier because they would meet and be forced to interact at some point in time, but humans were frail. They had other things to attend to, they were on borrowed time and not everyone knew of the existence of countries. 

❝   I know this really cool café if you want to grab a cup of coffee with me? Maybe get something to eat as well. My treat.   ❞

The flames licked around the buildings, the yellow glow shone brightly in the early night, causing a panic at the soldiers but at the same time a sense of comfort. A comfort Alfred couldn’t explain, but watching the flames eat away the buildings had a calming effect on the man. Shouting could be heard nearby, drawing attention back from the flames, Alfred once more found himself in the middle of the burning city. He wasn’t here for no reason. He wasn’t here to admire the fire. He was here to find the man whom could possibly stop this war.

His own soldiers ran around in a confusion, trying to save anything they could use, some keeping guard while the rest looked for either survivors or the man Alfred wanted to find. Winston. The very man who represented the Confederate States. It was a civil war, something Alfred had hoped never would come, but here he was.

As if the heavens shined down at him, Alfred saw the nation he had been searching for, he was walking, on his own, in-between some builds. Not wasting his time Alfred ran toward the man, gun held close to his body as he practically ran into Winston, trying to tumble him over so he could get control of the situation. Winston couldn’t get away now, and Alfred stood above the fallen with a smug grin on his face. A grin that only ever showed itself when he knew he was superior, a grin that showed a general pleasure in what was going on. Pointing his gun at the other Alfred spoke up.         Nowhere to run now, Winston.

❝   You say it like it’s a bad thing?   ❞      Alfred crossed his arms in defense at the other’s words. It was stupid to actually take offense to what the other had said, probably a harmless joke, but it still wronged Alfred the wrong way. Something the English isles could do really well for some reason.
