Well. It looks as though my employer has gone missing. I suppose that means I'm out of a job.

...A lot of people seem to have disappeared, hm?

[Prussia knows he should step out of the conversation at this point. Let's not mention that England's cooking regularly makes Prussia pass out, but he never says anything negative because he can tell England makes an effort]

You have puppies! [here let's change topics]

[video]

[smallspot]

[Distraction successful!]

Yes, we have two puppies! They are going to be really big someday, but right now they are just little puppies like my brother and I are little heroes! My brother also has a horse and I have a butterfly!

[There is a bit of motion in Diarmuid's hair and suddenly a small blue and green butterfly appears to flutter next to the boy.]

See? Father made him for me!

[video]

[wurstisyettocome]

[he keeps his sigh of relief hidden. Good thing the distraction worked]

What kinds of puppies?! [of course he knew dogs, his brother had three]

Oh awesome! Your Vati actually made you a butterfly?!

[video]

Umm...I'm not sure what their modern names are. I know the one I have will be like the hunting hounds that we have back home. He's going to be big and smart and his hair is all wiry...

[It's not the best description of an Irish Wolfhound, but he's seven. Sadly, his description of his brother's English Sheepdog isn't going to be much better.]

My brother's puppy is all white and fuzzy! Her fur is so long too. Much longer than my puppy's is!

What is a Va-ti? Is that your word for father? If so, yes! My father is a god and he made it for me to be my friend so I wouldn't ever be alone!

[ah yes, seven years old. He wasn't good at naming things either when he was that young... it's more miraculous that he remembers being that young]

I'll have to see the puppies!

Ja! Vati means father! Yours sounds like he cares about you a lot. [he's not jealous, not at all]

[video]

[smallspot]

Please do! They like making new friends! White jumps on people too much still, but she is getting better about it.

[Sorry, Prussia. Diarmuid doesn't catch that jealousy at all. In fact, he likes talking about his father a lot...

Maybe too much.]

He does care about me a lot! Even though I'm not his blood son, it doesn't matter. He still takes care of me and protects me and helps me learn everything I need to so I can be a great knight when I grow up!

[God that is sweet. His dad... yeah... let's not go there, Germania was a warrior heathen who was obsessed with Rome....]

Have you been keeping up with your training?

[video]

[smallspot]

[Poor Prussia... If it helps any, Diarmuid's blood father...well, there is a reason no one talks about him and why there is a gap in Diarmuid's memory.]

I have been doing my best to! It's was hard while it was cold, but as soon as it gets warm again, I am going to start going back out every day to practice.

[video]

[wurstisyettocome]

Kesese~ There is practice you can do inside! You can do push ups and sit ups!

[video]

[smallspot]

Push ups and sit ups?

[A confused look crosses Diarmuid's face.]

I don't know what those are...

[video]

[wurstisyettocome]

I'll teach you! They help build strength in you arms and stomach!

[and now we know how Prussia's iron stomach came to be]

[video]

[smallspot]

Yay! Thank you!

[Diarmuid claps his hands happily.]

I'll try anything if it will make me stronger so I can be a better knight!

Re: [video]

[wurstisyettocome]

You'll be an awesome knight!

[video]

[smallspot]

With everyone helping me, there is nothing else I can be!

[Diarmuid gives a soft cheer and then bows his head to Prussia.]

I should let you and Lord England get back to things.

[He waves at them.]

It was good to meet you! I will make sure to stop by sometime soon!
