"I thought you'd be trying to get away. I was talkin' with Sweden. He told me about encountering you in the Alps. You've been gone for a while Scotland. The World War is over, but there's still this feeling on tension in Europe and America. You'll understand sooner or later." Cuba said. He stopped the boat on a sandy beach in Florida. "You could go north and end up in the US and then Canada, or you could go south and end up in Mexico. Your choice. I don't know much about Mexico though. He keeps to himself."

he raised an eyebrow, "Who won?" he replied simply, "I don't care whichever way I end up going, as long as it's quiet."

"Yeah. Japan always has some on the low table he uses for calligraphy!" Pochi said. he pointed to the small table near the window.

"I'll borrow some tonight if that is okay" he dipped his head, closing his eyes, "I am in your debt"

"Allies. America's bragging that he's a two-time World War champ." Cuba said, rolling his eyes. "Germany's been divided by a long wall that practically appeared overnight. He's extremely tense because he can't see his older brother, Prussia, who is under Russia's care. He worries about him, ya know. The quieter place would be Canada, but you'd need to travel through America to get there."

He put his head in his hands, "Great. How the hell did it go so wrong?" he snapped, "We had every country in our control except for Russia" he then blanked, "Wait, who's Canada?"

Pochi licked him between the ears. "No prob." he said. "Just don't get it on tail." He turned in a few circles before laying on the floor.

Taithlon was alerted by Velos going back inside and Pochi moving off her lap, "Have you two made up?" she asked quietly. Velos had cringed, unaware the lick was coming and confused by it. he had given a small, polite nod.

"Friend of mine. I constantly get him confused with America, the poor guy." Cuba said, scratching his head. "And you said 'Except for Russia'. Russia freed them. Now get outta my boat and go to Canada. I heard a new joke involving a Canadian, an American, and a battle axe. I should tell you about it sometime."

His lip twitched and he looked pretty pissed, "You mean they couldn't hold up against one nation, I knew those guys where stupid, but that stupid? And that's my axe, i want her back."
