Wrapping Paper

[doubleppk]

Robin~chan! Thank-you for the necklace! Just got it in the mail finally! <3

But I really have to ask. Crocodile wrapping paper? Why? Isn't that a little... strange? Cute though:


And I have no idea what to do with the erasers. Even if they're cute too:


If you're trying to send a message, it's unecessary. I got it. Jeez.

Also between this and Father's Day it got me wondering. There's thousands of types of wrapping paper with some strange, sometimes cute designs. Anyone have a favorite? Do you guys just use whatever's cheap/handy or get something personal for the person it's for, or personal coming from you?

Oh. Ambition is a good thing. Keeps people clinging on. Arrogance in that regard however is merely fallacy. Intriguing either way I suppose.

You will have to forgive his incapability of handling a question like this. He isn't fond of people saying he should not exist and as you can tell, he's hardly the type to kee phis temper in check.

Perhaps this will be easier to understand. Prussia was a country once upon a time. Gilbert is Prussia. After the war, the nation of Prussia was disbanded but Gilbert lives on because his people did and still do. Remnants of his country are still there and he is part of them. No matter how you look at it, Gilbert is still Prussia and always will be even though he is a little more difficult to find on a modern map.

Actually England; while I appreciate the further instruction: all this I know. I'm fairly certain he lives on because he lives on in the minds and hearts of his people. They haven't forgotten him nor stopped thinking of themselves as Prussians no matter what lines on a map say. To truly kill a country isn't a matter of shoving them off a cliff; this I learned from Prussia. It has to do with being forgotten. I personally find that impressive.

To be perfectly honest, I only called him dead because he's been so furious with me I figured it would get his attention. Not the smartest move I've mad but this month has been full of idiotic ones. I know he's alive but... I know how often the other countries such as Poland and whoever else claim him to be dead and in perhaps a miscalculated move I sought to find Norway's views on this one way or another though he appears to be thoroughly indifferent.

Don't let him see that. He'll milk that statement for all it's worth.

Well, forgive me then. I cannot be blamed for having itchy fingers when someone claims something false of one of my crew. We tease him about it because we understand. We all know that it could happen to us as well. So when we do tease he knows we do so with nothing but the highest respect. None of us can deny what his Empire was. As for Norway, I wouldn't expect much outside of indifference. That's just the way he is.

I already told him as much actually. And I believe he's much too furious with me at the moment to bother with such a thing.

It's perfectly understandable yes. I'd do the same for most of my crew mates. It's a defense mechanism, helps to survive. But since you were being honest and helpful I felt I owed it to at least not continue that particular charade.

Mn... at times it's... rather intimidating to be a regular person surrounded by... well near-immortals.

Yes, he has a very bad temper. Luckily for me, I have honed enough patience over the centuries to handle it.

I see. Well that is appreciated.

I wouldn't consider us immortal . We may be the embodiment of thousand year old nations but we are still human none the less. We still have human needs, desires, feelings...if you shoot us we still bleed. But this is my opinion. I'm sure others vary.

I seem to have a bad habit of being drawn to the tempermental types. Which isn't so wise since I also have a bad habit of infuriating oh... everyone eventually.

Ah but it's just that. You are the embodiment of thousand year old nations; human or not and ah well... nevermind it's probably irrelevant.
