reckless_eagle | Fifteenth Entry [Audio | Locked to Liet

[Poland is not quite amazed at the heat and the shrapnel as Liet is, having fought the Major before and all. Still, it's by no means something he's used to...]

[Which means he'll treat it the same way as anything else scary and unfamiliar. With a cocky little grin like the one he wears in battle, he gives a little laugh fueled purely by adrenaline.]

...Totally told you, there were explosions last time.

...I doubt that there is much left now that could help us with finding him.

[Still shocked.]

Ugh, I totally didn't even think of that! Damn it!

[He sits down next to Liet, reaching down to stroke his hair comfortingly]

...Hey. We're okay. We're totally gonna be fine, Liet...

[Mind you, this is Lithuania's first encounter with (pretty moderately sized) modern means of mass destruction. He's just a tad bit freaked out.]

What have the come up with?

[Poland's touch is comforting, but he can't get up yet. This is insane.]

Well, you know humans. They've always been good at coming up with new and creative ways to get people killed...

[He keeps stroking Liet's hair, slow and soft, resting his free hand on his arm as he does]

[He knows that, but still... He leans into the touch, and when the tension fades and the shock changes, takes over, he starts to tremble and soon shake.]

I really wished they didn't... [He looks up at Poland.] ...we really need those guns.

I know, Liet. I know.

[He sighs, still not really comfortable with the guns idea--do they really need one more tool for killing people faster, more impersonally, more mercilessly? But it's looking less and less like they can afford to be picky about it...]

Come on. Let's like, go back to our room and get out of this armor. It'll be okay...

[He nods. Pakistan might be waiting. He doesn't want her to worry more. He pushes himself up, which is always a bit harder in full armor, but works.]

You're right... I'm sure it will be alright.

[Gets up as well]

Let's ditch this place.

[Looks down the hallway.]

Do you have your sword?

[He pats the scabbard at his side]

Right here. You?

I lost my crossbow, but I doubt that it survived ...that.

Let's go.

[Away from this place, as fast as possible.]

Yeah, totally. Come on!

[Taking Liet by the hand, he leads him to the stairs and back down to their room again. I assume Paku isn't there yet.]

[Which means that they can get our of their armor quickly and in the main room... and then Lithuania will just sit on the bed, still shaking a little.]

[Poland's not going to let him sit there freaking out all by himself! He finishes disarming himself and goes over to the bed, wrapping his arms around Liet's waist and resting his head on his shoulder, trying to comfort him as much as he can with his presence.]

We're like, gonna be fine. It'll be okay.

We are together... it will be alright.

[He smiles and leans his head against Poland's for a moment.]

Do you want tea?

Not really. I like, want to stay right here until my heart quits doing the weird flipping out thing it's been doing since that thing came at you.

[Yeah, he doesn't really seem interested in letting go of Liet any time soon.]

I had hoped that I had hit everything...

[Thanks to Poland he is shaking more now.]

[Poland rubs Liet's back softly. He snuggles close to him, trying to give comfort and calm Liet down even as he is comforted by being able to feel him nearby, safe and in one piece.]

Maybe the future-nations know better how to disarm those sorts of things. We'll totally talk to them.

We should. Maybe America, or ...have you heard from Livonia or Estonia as of lately?

...Kiev left.

[He's sure about that now, he couldn't find her.]

Not... lately, I think, but they're usually pretty quiet.

There's Hungary. [She's his broski-at-arms, even if she's apparently a girl now!]

That should be a good idea...

...did you know about it?

Know about what?

That Hungary is a girl. Or became a girl... We can't change our gender, can we?

No, she totally didn't tell me anything! Which is mega-lame, y'know?
