There was nothing pleasant in his merry voice, nor did the smile reached his eyes. As the uniformed man walked through the doors and drew nearer to him, the nation turned to glower at him. "Stop laughing." It was starting to grate on his nerves.

"You seem in a bad mood. Something troubling you?"
It wasn't s if Durer quite cared, really. But to each thier own method.

"You laugh too much." He replied bitingly, gritting through his teeth. Belarus wouldn't have bothered with this man at all, but Durer had definitely caused his bad mood.
Reply
"You think so? Perhaps you don't laugh enough."
Words that held undertones of cruelty, because when Durer wasn't pretending to be kind it was incredibly obvious the sort of man he was. The best sort of man to exist in this city, surely.

The number of times Belarus ever laugh was nil, as far as he knew. The closest he ever came to a laugh was by smiling. Even that was countable with his fingers, taking into consideration how long he had lived as a nation. The nation was one who wore a constant blank expression, mostly graced by a frown.

"So you would think. I always manage to find something. Perhaps you should too."
Ah, but the things Durer chose to laugh about weren't as delightful to most people. They just couldn't see the beauty of a broken body. the raw power was exquisite.
Reply
"For you." He replied flatly, and after a quiet moment. "Maybe over your dead body." And a tug pulled at the corner of his lips, the closest semblance of a smile.
Reply
"It's not very kind to threaten those you don't know."
Unless you know what you're doing, and have the skill to break them. It was something he did so very easily after all, but he always acted on his threats, and the threat of death was his favorite. He had never felt such pleasure as when he had finally taken the last breath from one of his little broken dolls.

The nation merely snorted in return. Belarus had broken enough nations, mostly out of displeasure for the few who lived under the Soviet house, terrorising and driving them from getting too close to Russia. With nothing else to say to the man, he moved to brush past him.
Reply
Perhaps not. Well, not physically anyway.
"You seem in such a hurry."
To bait with words, perhaps it was the best sort of bait.

Belarus was not one to easily bite the bait. But these was perhaps one of those really rare times when he does. Though by the end of the day, he'll blame it on the foul weather, and on Durer.
He had walked not too many steps before glancing back, and answered matter-of-factly. "Of course! I need to return to my people."
The other man can stay in Vegas all he want.

"Your people? Ah, they must be missing you. You sound important. Perhps that's why you're here."
He vaguely recalled an Englishman he had met near this very building who had spoken in a similar matter. Perhaps this was some political conspiracy after all? Even if it wasn't, surely he could convince the other of it somehow.
Reply
"What do you mean?" He practically growled the words out, a demand rather than a question. And then he was stalking over to him, his figure suddenly seemed larger, more menacing, towering over and glowering down at him. "Are you Loki?"
Because that sounded like the best answer to all of this madness.
Reply
"If I were, do you honestly believe I'd be out here with you all? I'm merely suggesting that perhaps there's a more personal reason why you were handpicked to walk these streets, and that someone wishes to keep you here until you're no more than a dog in heat."
Reply
But that didn't stop Belarus from whipping his right hand out, and in one quick movement, slammed him against the wall as he brought his face inches from the man's, fingers curling tightly around his neck. So delicately thin. So damn easy to snap it.
"Maybe for a dog like you." He spat those words out in distaste, then roughly shoved him aside, turning around to leave. Belarus had no intention to waste more time on him.
Reply
When the other let him go he caught himself on the wall, giving a few coughs as he righted himself. A dog? The very nerve. Oh, but it wasn't over yet. Durer knew how this city treated her residents. That man was due to see him again. He'd make sure.
