[ladyofthehouse]

[Austria shuts and locks the Music Room door for privacy.]

Guten morgen Herr Iceland.

Would you like to join me for a slightly later breakfast?

[She prepared some desserts and coffee for Maya's picnic. Lots of desserts. Too many desserts so she brought some with her in the event he might want to eat something while they talk.

Everyone really wants sachertorte for breakfast right?]

[Iceland is a little surprised by the invitation, but not opposed. He nods and finds a place to sit near the violins.]

...Sure. What's up?

[She sits across from him, lacing her fingers together in her lap.]

I just... well you see. You don't seem to be the sort of person who likes to talk about themselves at length-- [No that's insulting]

I mean, I thought it might be nice if... ah. [She'd prepared this word for word earlier and she's still messing it up.]

...

What exactly. Is... a nation?

[volcanoes]

[Iceland wasn't expecting this question, considering Austria's previous opinions on her involvement in this subject.] You mean people like u--me, right? Well...

[He's sure there are other people who could explain this better, but none of them are here right now.]

We're--beings born when the group of people we represent is formed. We live as long as they do, and we can get hurt or sick or die based on what happens to them.

Like you, ja. Und Herr Spain. [And not herself. It so she can understand Spain better.]

I was... skeptical of such a thing existing as I know you are aware. After Herr Norway's passing however, it seems foolish to keep denying that you are what you say you are. I can't imagine why else they would make it a point to show you his people.

I apologize for antagonizing you about it.

[She spoons some sugar into her coffee.]

So then you take care of them?
