I don't think we're in Karakorum anymore, Toto

[wrath_ofkhan]

[has made a small pile of stones, and is looking down at it sadly] ... [sniffs, and wipes his nose on his sleeve; he's no longer the emotional wreck he was on the 18th, but there's still leftover melancholy]

They didn't even tell me where they buried you, so I guess this'll have to do. As a stand-in, or something, I guess. [nudges the pile] ...You were a great boss. Best ever. Ogedei's doing an awesome job and all, but it's just not the same, you know? I mean...

[stops short: something feels a bit off.] ...? [looks around, and suddenly realizes that he's totally not where he thought he was] ...The hell--!?

I'll bring in older!Russia sometime to pipe him good

[freezingchild]

Nyet... [is shaking nonetheless]

C-can I keep a l-little food f-for my sisters?

mm-hmm.

[wrath_ofkhan]

...[casts a glance skyward: see what I have to deal with, Genghis?] Yeah, yeah. Sure. Whatever. Just as long as you can pay what you owe Batu. [sigh...] I'll tell him not to hold his breath.

Priorities, man. Nothing should come before the welfare of the empire.

[freezingchild]

...N-not even my f-family?!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Duh. You and your sisters are under the jurisdiction of the Golden Horde, and, thus, the Mongol Empire. Me. As my vassal state, you owe me allegiance first and foremost. [sarcastically] Novel concept, I know.

it's really not that big of a deal. It just means you plan accordingly. Find a way to feed your sisters and make your tribute payments on time, and everyone goes home happy.

[freezingchild]

B-but all th-the crops freeze! I-I can't st-stop it!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Know what? That's totally not my problem.

Boss Ogedei mentioned something about... what, earlier? Giving some sheep away to the poorer sectors of the empire? Yeah, something like that. Maybe you could use a few.

I am totally loving your Mongol-tan, btw

[freezingchild]

[seems to be about to cry]

...sh-sheep?

for srs? Aww thanks. I like him lots, even if he can be a total douche.

[wrath_ofkhan]

[notices that Rus' is about to cry] [ignores it]

Yeah, sheep. You know. Soft cheese, hard cheese, cheese with little bits of nut stuck in it, roasted mutton, smoked mutton, mutton stew... [trails off and gazes into space, thinking about food]

[blinks, snapping himself out of it] ...All kinds of stuff. Yeah. I'll ask Ogedei what's happening with that plan of his, 'kay?

Rus' hates him, but hey.

[freezingchild]

...[now drooling a bit]

I-it'd be great i-if we could have all th-that...

lol, well, that's to be expected.

[wrath_ofkhan]

[cheerfully] Yeah, it'd be great if you'd finally quit whining. I'll ask Ogedei about it first thing.

[notices the drool] ...Hey, you got a little something right here. [makes a motion next to his mouth]

[freezingchild]

A-ah! [wipes it away carefully]

I gotta get back to my sisters a-and tell them w-we can have sheep!

[wrath_ofkhan]

Sure, you do that. Just... one last thing before you take off, okay? [motions him in closer]

[freezingchild]

Y-yeah? [walks over]

[wrath_ofkhan]

That General of yours shows up again, and the deal's off. No sheep for you. Get it?

[freezingchild]

...O-okay...
