[ Being, you know, one of those fancy country things, Hungary has no father and, not being American, has no idea this is Father's Day. It's not actually even a holiday in her house. So, since it's a nice day out, Hungary can be found sitting in the park, reading a book with a plain cover on a bench

[She's walking through the park, minding her own business.]

[itdidntgrow]

[ Also minding her business, if by that we mean tearing up a little at an emotional part-oh, Austria, such passion! Such purity of feeling! (A part of her is maybe a little upset he's never that way towards her...) ]

[lotuslife]

[She looks over, and sees Hungary. Now, really! Who gets that emotional over books?]

[itdidntgrow]

[ But you don't understand! The passion, the emotion, the tears Austria is shedding and Switzerland is licking away-! ...Yeah, she's oblivious. ]

[kleinefurstin]

[my what a nice day it is!

she has no idea what is in the book, but will smile at Hungary as she passes by]

[itdidntgrow]

[ Normally she'd smile back, say hi. But this is a really good part, and she doesn't even see Liechtenstein. ]

[kleinefurstin]

[She is slightly concerned, is Hungary feeling well?]

Ah, Hungary?

[itdidntgrow]

[ She starts just a bit, pulled out of the book. And closes it very quickly. You're too young, missy. ]

Oh! Miss Liechtenstein; I'm sorry. I didn't even see you.

[fujoshin]

[And as she's passing by, Erika happens to notice the book. That shape, that size.... the width is just right.

Stopping in her tracks.]

[itdidntgrow]

[ Finishing the book with a very content sigh as she closes it. ]

[fujoshin]

[nonSuspiciously walking over.... and peering at it.]

A doujin, right? Which circle?

[itdidntgrow]

What? [ What is a "circle." Hell, what is a doujin? She just knows it's a comic book. And how did this girl know? ]

[numanstan]

[just

looking over her shoulder

vaguely interested]

Why're they all sparkly?

[itdidntgrow]

It's just the art st- [ WAIT. SLAMMING THE BOOK SHUT AND CLUTCHING IT TO HER as she stands and turns. ] Excuse me?

[numanstan]

[lol what is personal space. Vince leans forward on the bench and smiles like he hadn't just caught her reading porn.] Whatcha readin'?

[itdidntgrow]

It's just a- [ Book. Just a book. Just a book. ] comic Mr. Japan drew for me.

[ ... Weird. ]

[no_mountains]

[Sneaking up behind her and trying to peer into the doujin.]

[itdidntgrow]

[ HEARS HIM. SLAMS THE BOOK SHUT. ]

[no_mountains]

Hey! I wanted to see that! [Her face looked as if it was interesting.]

[itdidntgrow]

It's private.
