"Thanks..." Japan said. He got to his feet and stretched. "It was really fun, despite the cold..."

She laughed and looked over at Belarus and Russia, "Anyone up to see who can hold their breathe longer under the water?" she felt energetic due to the rush of cold against warm, glad Japan had warmed up. She gave him a glance, hoping he'd take the time to put on his clothes which would be warmer than a towel.

"Russia would win." Ukraine said. "He almost never breathes..."

She smiled, "I can try anyway." she teased, "Even if it means holding my breathe until I faint, it'd be worth it." that would make sense, from how tight Belarus always held onto him.

"Take that back you, brute b******e!" he said angrily, swearing in Italian.

(The translation in Italian is a bit too close to the word in English...)

(mm gotcha)
"I'll take it back once you get your act together, besides why do you care what I think?" I shoot back. I catch a glimpse of black fur and look to see war. I smile forgetting Romano for a moment.

War meowed as she finally noticed him and hopped over the dog and onto her lap. letting her cuddle him and stroke his fur.

"I'd prefer to watch..." Japan said.
"I'm in!" Russia said, jumping into the icy water.

She gave Japan a nip on the cheek, "Get changed before you freeze." she ran after Russia and skidded on the ice, landing it so she splashed him, "if I do faint, don't let me drown please, big brother" she mumbled quietly, "I'm not going easy on you" she didn't want to worry Japan

Japan went back to Russia's house to change into warmer clothes. Russia smiled and stuck his head underwater.

She took a deep breathe and followed down under him, staring at him through the water. She forced her body to relax and used small motions with her arms to keep herself down. Taithlon made her mind focus on his eyes and not waver into thoughts, knowing energy was precious. She just stared blankly at him, forcing herself to calm down and relax. It wasn't cold to her, so that wasn't an issue. Once she started struggling, she swallowed some of the air in her cheeks and kept on pushing herself, even if it meant releasing bubbles, she was determined to faint or win.
