"I-it's okay.... It's just that... You startled me, that's all." Japan said. Pochi sat on his lap. "I didn't know that was how Russia greeted people. I'll be sure to avoid that now..."

She looked away, "I-I'm sorry that I upset you" she sighed, looking legitimately upset.

"It's okay." Japan said. He got up and walked over to a table and sat down on a pillow. On the table was a piece of parchment paper, a brush, some paper weights, and a pallet of ink. He grabbed one of his sleeves and dipped the brush into the ink, swirling it to get an even coating of ink on the tip. He touched brush to paper and started to write Taithlon's name.

She watched him from where she was sat on the floor in the circle of candles. She'd done it again. She shouldn't have interrupted his meditation. She felt guilt run through her as she watched.

Pochi sat on Taithlon's lap and looked up at her.

Japan continued to draw out her name, humming to himself softly.

Maru kaite chikyuu, Jitto mite chikyuu, Hyotto ******e chikyuu, Nihon to moushimasu...

She quietly watched and listened as ivy runs that through google translate

Finally he finished, and held it up for her to see. "Do you like it?" he asked.

She nodded and smiled, wanting to make him happy, although she couldn't understand all the Japanese stuff. Her mind wandered off alightly, she'd left Velos with Russia. Would he remember him? She hoped if not, at least one of the other countries would've.. Canada, China and France all seemed really nice. England was a bit eccentric, he probably thought of himself too highly to touch an animal, but then maybe so would've France.. she really hoped America hadn't found him. She internally shivered, poor Velos..

Taithlon tried not to think of it, *can you write big brothers name?*

*Yet, France, didn't you say he was going to attack Warsaw, Poland?* Scotland snapped, *I'll gag you if you don't shut up England* he roared, *with your stupid lions then claiming to be the unicorns friend, you mortal foe!*

Main Article: Russia
In the Lietuvis strips, Japan is shown to abhor Russia, his grudge stemming as far back as the Russo-Japanese War (although he defeated him, he wound up using up his life savings and became poor). After hearing of the alliance between Russia and Germany, Japan became distraught, claiming "That man is a monster created by fallout from nuclear tests! He tears down buildings! He breathes fire!" When Germany insists on continuing his relationship with Russia, Japan makes a resolution to dissolve himself and to become known as Minami-Centrair. This is loosely based off of an event that happened where the whole Japanese cabinet resigned due to the increasingly good relations between Russia and Germany.

During Russia's visit to Germany's house, Japan made many attempts to get revenge:

Put caltrops on his seat, but failed as Russia noticed them and did not sit down.Placed an object (possibly an explosive or needle) in an ohagi in hopes that Russia would eat it, only for him to eat it and remain unaffected.More Like Gamba Vs. Noroi shows that Russia was able to curse Japan and make him fall ill from simply staring at him, an allusion to when Japan was effected by the Great Kantou earthquake.
