Hey everyone!! This is America. If you were looking for me, I'm probably kinda busy right now, but I'll get right back to you in a second, so stand by!

It was just a stupid political get together, though. Idiotic. He felt like trash. How could a nation be like that?
He didn't even want to stay in the same building as the meeting. After five minutes of pacing and indecision, he finally left all together. Stupid England and stupid France.
He melted into the covers. For a kid of 16, it was a miserable let down.))

Nothing was really happening at the meeting anyway, so England left after an uncomfortable waiting period of waiting. He has a general idea of where America had run.
Eventually he's knocking on America's door. Always his room. Always back to where he was comfortable.]
... Amer-- ... Alfred. Alfred, are you there?

If you turn the door, it's open. America never locks it.))

It's a nasty business being us. The world'll disappoint you over and over Al and you need to know that. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try but honestly that's just how it is.
[such a motivational speaker...]

France is a bum anyway.

But he turns over and sits up.)) It's stupid though! He makes it sound like we have all these limitations now that we don't have the usual stuff--like we don't have the same responsibilities to these guys as we do to our own citizens! I mean HECK!!! I have all sorts of people inside of me like English, French, German--But I don't complain! These guys here at Asgard are just as important!
And besides that, who cares if we aren't 'immortal'. Neither is anyone else. That never stopped General Wolfe!! ((He's having a hard time rationalizing, really.)) You guys hold those meetings but nothing got settled.

... America, the Frog is an idiot. [Er, no, hold on--Well, yes France is a fucking imbecile but that's not how he wanted to start this--]
Uh-- Look. [Wrinkling his nose, peering at with a scowl; though the scowl isn't really at or for America at all.
This is England's thinking face.]The Frog is an idiot, but he's-- still alive. [Can't admit France is right, at least not in so many words. England's fingers curl into the fabric of his trousers tightly.] As am I. We're not immortal anymore America, and that means we've more limitations than we're used to. Can't heal as quickly, you certainly lack your... [uh] healthy strength.
[--and then he has to stop because he can't continue admitting all these weaknesses. Not that America would pick up on it, but it's bad enough England's saying them out loud in the first place, much less in front of the boy.]
The point is, we have limits and we need to know them. If we don't and we push too far, we'll do far more harm than good. You must understand that. [Certainly something he would never say. Oh, he wouldn't say any of this back then. He sighs.] Helping these so-called 'gods' means bringing color to this city--they want us to be industrious and cultured, if that helps you grasp it.
We can't push like we ought to as nations; our leaders and military forces aren't here. Dammit Alfred, damn you for having me say any of this! [biting the inside of his mouth.]
Calm yourself, lad. The best thing we can do for ourselves and our people... and the city of Asgard, is to continue on and live and help this city thrive. My empire wasn't built in a day--we'll help them bit by bit, one thing at a time.
[england's knuckles have gone white and he's chewing his lip quite hard.]
--France-- helps you. Later on. In over two hundred fifty years, neither of you go to war with each other.
[he tastes iron; his lip is bleeding and his hands are trembling.]
I'll not hear any arguments from you on this. You've got to be patient or you'll lose everything and burn for it.
That was a beautiful tag, im not even kidding you rn
but he still grumps and turns this head away.)) Okay.. I won't fight you, but I don't totally agree, either! ((Just letting England know this, and he better damn well respect it. He crosses his legs and slouches over. His frown neutralizes, and he sort of stares off.))
alskdjfaldkf ;A; I'm glad you think so it took a while to write
I don't care if you don't completely agree. S'your decision, but you're still my responsibility and seeing as you're getting older--You can think what you like, but we're in this together.
it was worth it
((a moment, he turns and smiles.)) I'm glad you're here though! It kind of gives us more time to chill together, you know? You sort of left pretty quick after you sent France packing.
hell yes it was
[Releases his fists only to clench them again.]
