Didn't anyone teach you it was rude to bother people when they're busy?
This [jabs a thumb at the apron] is an apron, and this [points at the bowl] is delicious apple pie.

A-anyway, I can't see how I'm bothering you.
Yes, but why is it so girly? At least the contents of the bowl seem worthwhile.

...besides, it's the only one I could find.
[dumps some more cinnamon in, then starts to mix the stuff with his hands]
[doesn't look at you for a couple minutes, then pauses and sighs]
What's your name, boy?

[watches you mix]
I'm England, why?

[thumps his chest, leaving a splodge of pastry on the apron]
Well technically I'm the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland now, but most people still call me England anyway.
Which means you ought to listen to what I say, since I'm you. Well, assuming you're not a girl, anyway.
[tilts his head and examines you curiously]

But why such a long name, and what the hell has Ireland got to go with anything?
And I'm not a girl, why are even bringing that up?

Christ, you ask a lot of questions! It's long because it includes Scotland, and obviously we couldn't just use my name, 'cause he gets all huffy. So does Wales for that matter. As for Ireland...
[long pause, he swallows nervously] That's complicated. When are you from, anyway?
Reply
When did Scotland's opinion start mattering? Or Wēalas.
And why just the northern part of...
Ah, n-nevermind.

Around the year of our lord nine hundred-and...err nine hundred-and-eighty... one?

Blimey! As long as that, eh? Well, I suppose you are quite small.
[reaches out to squeeze your shoulder]
It'll all make sense when you're older. If I tell you now, the universe might implode, like in one of America's stupid films, which, if he asks, I've never watched.

[gives you a puzzled look]
America's what?

[waves his hands]
It's not important. Have you ever tasted apple pie? If I remember rightly, modern sugar ought to be quite a treat for you, eh?
[attempts a friendly smile]
Reply
Ah, America gave me some the other day. Or at east, I think what this 'pie' is.
[eyes widen]
S-sugar?
Reply
That's right, sugar! Sweet, delicious, used to be very expensive a while back, but you can have as much as you like now!
[reaches out and almost pats your head, but changes his mind at the last minute and pulls it back]
Reply
I can? Where is it? [searches the area in front of him but stops]
Weren't you making something?
Reply
You can't just eat sugar, we put the sugar in the pie.
But you knew that, of course. [forces himself to laugh] Ahahahaha!
