ladyofthehouse[Austria strolls around at her usual leisurely pace, this time spinning a lace parasol in her hands behind her. She looks like the picture perfect image of a proper lady, so she's sure that Prussia will pop out from somewhere to goad her for it soon.
Somehow... she always does.]
Somehow... she always does.]

Date: 2017-08-17 08:26 pm (UTC)She totally is. She pops out of nowhere like a weasel to drape comfortably over Austria's shoulders, under the parasol.]
Did'ja get lost again?
[Why were you trying to bait her, again????]
1/2
Date: 2017-08-17 08:28 pm (UTC)Nein.
2/2
Date: 2017-08-17 08:30 pm (UTC)If you happen to know which way the huts are however, I will allow you to escort me.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:34 pm (UTC)[She won't... she is going to take Austria's shoulders and turn her ninety degrees, back toward the huts.]
Robo-fucks gave you an umbrella, huh? You didn't like my basket idea?
[She ducks back out from under the parasol and clasps her hands behind her back, walking casually beside her.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:41 pm (UTC)[Austria shifts it in her hands, like it's become strenuous to hold. Huffing.]
I think they made it heavy on purpose so I wouldn't get much use from it...
[It's not heavy at all.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:45 pm (UTC)[Joshua is so annoying??? Yes she fully supports dunking him with baskets.]
Really? Lemme see, I'm super-strong!!
[She grabs the parasol in both hands. Give it, give it!! It doesn't feel heavy, but maybe Austria's just that weak!!]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:49 pm (UTC)Prussia, honestly!!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:55 pm (UTC)[She yanks again, more insistently. Give her the parasol!]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 08:58 pm (UTC)Keep it then. I don't even care.
[You look like a sun dried tomato, use it.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:05 pm (UTC)[NO..... she starts heading off as if to do that very thing right now, immediately.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:09 pm (UTC)Prussia!
[Maybe... She didn't quite think giving Prussia something that could be considered the equivalent of a sword through all the way.]
Use it properly, damn it!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:13 pm (UTC)How do I look? Bet it looks better on me than it would on you, anyway. I'm gonna keep this!
[And hit people with it...]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:17 pm (UTC)Hmph.
You'd look better if you brushed that rat's nest every so often.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:36 pm (UTC)She scrunches up her whole face and stares at her.]
Brush it with what? I didn't exactly have a brush shoved up my ass before we got here, you know. My fingers are fine!!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:43 pm (UTC)[Austria professionally plops down in the sand by a shady palm tree, a brush suddenly materializing on her person.]
Sit.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:48 pm (UTC)[Still carrying the parasol, Prussia follows her back over to the tree and plops down next to her in a decidedly less-dignified manner.]
I'm tellin' you, my hair's fine! Don't need to bother with it.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 09:52 pm (UTC)If you don't do something about it now you're just going to end up getting frustrated and lobbing it all off.
[Austria takes a section of hair and starts working at the knots that have amassed over the past two weeks.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 10:05 pm (UTC)Thought about it. Hacking it all off, I mean.
[She pouts, but she doesn't fight against Austria brushing her hair. It feels nice! And if it'll shut Austria up about how messy her hair is, that's a bonus.]
Don't remember the last time I had it real short. Not since I was a super-cute little knight, I think!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 10:20 pm (UTC)It's a wonder how you ever had the patience to grow it out to begin with.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 10:22 pm (UTC)[She grabs hold of one of the strands and toys at it with her fingers, humming quietly.]
Plus, it adds to my awesome image when it blows in the wind!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-17 11:08 pm (UTC)Is that all? I suppose that's certainly one reason to have it be so long.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 12:18 am (UTC)[She blows a loud raspberry. Boring, super boring!]
Then it just got too long to cut easily with a knife, so I just let it do whatever it wanted.
[She reaches blindly behind her, poking Austria's nose with her fingers before finding a bit of her hair to tug lightly. Not Mariazell, and not yanking it, either. Just a light tug!]
Don't think I could make it as pretty as yours, though.
1/2
Date: 2017-08-18 01:23 am (UTC)[Austria listens quietly, engrossed in a particularly stubborn knot. When the hand suddenly appears, her nose crinkles, weary of Prussia's fingertips accidentally settling on her mole.
The hair tugging is a welcome compromise, she supposes.]
You really have been out in the sun too long. Don't be ridiculous.
2/2
Date: 2017-08-18 01:27 am (UTC)I have to ask.
Do you seriously intend to stand guard over the chiefs tonight?
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 01:29 am (UTC)At the question, she hums and shrugs, closing her eyes.]
I said I would, didn't I? I don't go back on my word.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 01:32 am (UTC)You're not the slightest bit concerned about the possible danger of being out there, defenseless. With someone who probably intends to murder tonight along with two robotic creations that have murdered previously.
1/2
Date: 2017-08-18 01:38 am (UTC)2/4 i super underestimated this
Date: 2017-08-18 01:40 am (UTC)If we're gonna get outta here, I gotta do what I can. If the robots try anything, I'll yell really loud. Nobody'll get taken by surprise. Anybody else, well...
There's gonna be four other people there. Unless they all gang up on me and manage to surprise me bad enough, there's no way anything could happen to me.
3/4
Date: 2017-08-18 01:41 am (UTC)[It doesn't sound as enthusiastic or convincing of a denial as maybe it should? Hang on. She's going about this all wrong.]
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 01:42 am (UTC)What, you worried about me? That's not like you!!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 01:51 am (UTC)You're the one who promised we'd both be leaving here alive. I assumed when you made that promise that you'd be doing things that wouldn't be putting your life more at risk than anyone else.
Also I'm sure the literal 'God' who was executed last week probably thought the same thing about his longevity. You're not a god!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 02:05 am (UTC)[She almost sounds offended, tilting her head back so she can look at the other woman. Upside-down, of course, but listen.]
I always fight from the front. That's what the awesome generals do, after all! I'm not gonna ask anyone to put themselves in any danger that I wouldn't do myself, you know. These kids... they're not cute little troopers, they're just kids. Can't expect them to risk their lives when I can do it and come out ahead. Every time!
[She lets go of Austria's hair and waves her hand dismissively.]
Maybe I'm not a god, but I've got God and der Alte Fritz to watch over me. That's even better!
1/3
Date: 2017-08-18 02:18 am (UTC)Foolish fool!
The most foolish fool-hearted fool!
FOOL!!]
2/3
Date: 2017-08-18 02:27 am (UTC)What about her? What is she supposed to tell Germany if Prussia doesn't come home? Or Hungary? Or France and Spain? Or Italy?]
3/3
Date: 2017-08-18 02:34 am (UTC)If Prussia's gone?]
...
[Austria looks down at Prussia looking at her upside down.]
I still think you're being utterly foolish. However, I suppose as long as you keep your word in the end, whatever way you choose to get there will simply have to be tolerated.
With great protest.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 02:44 am (UTC)[She offers a silly grin before sitting up straight again. The grin fades once Austria can't see it as easily anymore. Nobody knows better than she does that she's on borrowed time, after all. And if she gets hurt or killed, that's going to be it for her. No way would she be coming back from that.
It's not because she's weak!! She's just too strong! The world can't handle her anymore!!]
I was born to fight. So I gotta keep fighting, no matter what.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 03:00 am (UTC)There. [Austria moves to return Prussia's bird to her head again.]
You're knot free now, you can go tangle it up again if you wish.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 08:45 pm (UTC)[She reaches up and immediately rakes a hand through her hair, making sure it's settled the way she likes it. The little bird flies up out of her reach while she does, only settling once the coast is clear.]
Hey, thanks, Austria. My head feels super-light now!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 09:05 pm (UTC)I'll keep this for now. [Austria gestures to the brush.] I don't want you losing it.
no subject
Date: 2017-08-18 09:47 pm (UTC)[She groans and stretches her arms high over her head. Sitting still is boring!]
Want me to brush yours, too? Kesesese!
