[ England had been remarkably capable of handling himself quite well for the past week or so. Certainly he sulked by hiding under his blankets, but he did that with pride. Or at least a respectable-looking blanket. But on the 21st day at the fourteenth hour at thirty-three seconds, as he realised he had written nothing but the word SOCKS1 for the

[Not going to ask England if he's on his period.

Not going to. It's sad that that's the only thing he finds amusing.] Y'alright, England?

[is_an_island]

Honestly, I'm perfectly fine. I said I didn't want a fuss, I just don't feel like going out and that's all there bloody is to it.

[numanstan]

Are y'on your period or somethin'? [HE IS A WEAK MAN]

[is_an_island]

What?

No.

What?

[decadenzas]

[...what] Stop broadcasting your brain-addled moments.

[is_an_island]

I'm not brain-addled, I'm just being polite about this whole thing. Honestly.

[decadenzas]

Polite about what whole thing? Most of what you said didn't even make sense, outside of you being ill.

[is_an_island]

Arthur!

[is_an_island]

[not the cleaning brigade]

I'm not coming out.

[eldest_hatter]

What is the matter with you lately?

[is_an_island]

Nothing's the matter with me. I've just suddenly grown to like this bed.

It's a very nice bed.

[rainbowbrush]

[Giggling. Lots of giggling.]

You're a dirty old man!

[is_an_island]

What's all this? I take my proper baths, which is more than you could say for yourself.

[rainbowbrush]

You shouldn't be talking like that, you know. There are little kids listening!

[is_an_island]

Talk like how? I've said nothing indecent!

[kleinefurstin]

I think I may have developed a way to make the tea here a bit more appetizing.

[is_an_island]

Really? Do you curse America while drinking it or something like that? I would imagine it would make the taste slightly more pleasant.

[kleinefurstin]

I added lavender to it, actually. Lavender and a few other herbs.

[is_an_island]

Really? Were you trying to make a potion and just stumbled upon good tea?
