Mel smirked. "As long as yeh pay, 'm find with that." he said, disappearing in a flash.

Satisfied Ireland went back to find Estonia

America googled 'are bananas berries'. "Apparently it is. Dudes, what about ice-skating?"

She smiled and rested her head on Japan, "Lets go then" she played with the other half of the fruit, unsure with what she wanted to do with it. She was half tempted to throw it at America.

I walk a little bit ahead of japan and taith excited to finally get on the ice again

"Eli?" she darted forward to stand next to her sister, looked back warily at Japan and America then lowered her voice and cupped her ear, whispering as she didn't want the other two nations to hear nor for her expression to give away what she was saying, "Where you doing my ice? Do you know how bad it was the most recent time?"

((I came across this gem..

Do you know how bad it was the most recent time?"

I forwn slightly but keep faced away from the other two nations as Taith clearly didn't want them to know "No I haven't I figured I'd wait and do it with you, like we always did" i whisper back "Why? did something change?" I ask slightly worried, I had noticed my own ice starting to melt sooner but hadn't thought much of it

"You did it over the war, right?" she looked worried, "No reports or maps sketched for years.. that's bound to be bad.. after today I want to do an early spring check so there are two. A herd member can arrange a second one to be done, a group to head out and do it as per usual."she still kept her voice as quiet as possible and quickened her pace to get further ahead.

I nod seeing why she might be worried "I did a couple checks during the war but I was busy with my own things and staying away from Russia" I apologize "Mmm will Japan let you go though? he seems protective"

"Probably not. Hopefully as I haven't been back to Azalea in years, they'd have figured out and got someone else to do mapping checks. Registered as 'missing in snow' or something. 'Dead in war'. Who knows." she hesitated, 'if I head up alone, can you lie to him for me? If he knew the true nature of the ice, he would insist on coming.'

"Ofcourse, I'll keep him away from you but...I'd like to go with you" I say quietly "I want to know if everythings okay, I've been away for long enough i want to make up for leaving" I check back to make sure they can't hear us

She shook her head and still spoke quietly to her, "I'll go alone. I'll take a pair of skates and get it done in one round, then deliver it myself." she quickly dropped back to walk beside Japan again to avoid getting a lecture on the dangers.

I glare at the ground angrily when she pulls back "We'll talk about this later" I tell her and keep walking
