[was in the forest's proximity and is now on his way back, carrying a little rake]

[teutonic_pruss]

[sees you coming, grins and shoots arrows at!]

[bake_einsamcake]

[deadpans as the first arrow flies by, stops walking as the second one barely misses his side]

Brüderchen, stop it! That's dangerous!

[teutonic_pruss]

Nein! It's not dangerous, you'll be fine!

[Prepares his bow again, is not skilled with a bow, has horrible aim- shoots!]

[bake_einsamcake]

Of course it is!

[rushes forward, evading the arrow; crouches and pushes the bow down (without taking it away from the boy, though)]

Don't shoot at people! You'll end up injuring somebody and then there will be tears. Why are you even out here with the bow? Are you hunting or do you just want to startle unsuspecting passers-by?

[teutonic_pruss]

[hides it behind his back so you can't suddenly decide to take it from him]

I'm not hunting, but I'm not doing anything bad~

[bake_einsamcake]

If you aren't doing either then what are you doing?

[teutonic_pruss]

Being awesome and practicing!!

[bake_einsamcake]

[wants to have a day without a fit of rage for once; tries to stay patient ]

Will you promise to stop shooting at people? And at animals too, now that I think of it - as long as you can't do it properly they would probably run off and bleed to death somewhere. If you promise me this I won't take issue with you practicing here.

[teutonic_pruss]

I won't shoot at the animals at all.

[bake_einsamcake]

You won't? Then what are you practicing for at all?

[teutonic_pruss]

Nein! I'm not gonna hurt any awesome animals like that! It isn't fair 'cause they don't know what's going on. They can't fight back.

Little little little you is really good at shooting and I have to be better than my little bruder! And I'm not only practicing. I'm doing awesome training.

[is looking for a fight]

[bake_einsamcake]

Wait, wait! "Little" me? Just how little is he? You can't teach a small child to handle bow and arrow!

And what are you training for, will there be some kind of competition? Who besides you even uses such weapons around here?

[teutonic_pruss]

He's really little and cute! He's just out of being a baby, he's like three or four, he's awesome! And Ja, I can! I'm his big bruder! Vati taught me at that age and I helped Holy roman empire to learn even though he was a stuck up bastard.

I'm training in case I gotta fight, and you must be dumb, Everyone has weapons, even all the kids have weapons on them. I talked to this suo kid thing, and he stabbed me!

[shows you a cut on his arm]

You gotta be ready to fight! I would use a sword, but schwester won't let me have it.

[bake_einsamcake]

[wants to start arguing about teaching a toddler weapon usage, but is distraced by the mention of HRE - if only Italy hadn't burned all the history books...]

Hm. Did you teach your brother - Heiliges Römisches Reich, I mean - all the fighting techniques you know?

...

Say, does he ever go on crusades with you? Or does he stay with the emporer?

[just skips the part about armed other nations on the meme for now]

[teutonic_pruss]

When we were little, Ja, I taught him what I knew if he asked. But then he got more powerful and his boss got him his own teacher.

[laughs]

Bruder has too much work to do! he stays back unless he's told to come and fight! But we just need his stupid soldiers and his money, we don't need him and Switzerland makes him stay and work anyway.

..But if he really wants to come or not, it's not for any of us to say.
