"So, you're not actually the country, you just think you are?"

Vimes doesn't seem too shocked about this. He has come across some weirdos in his time...

Well, that's vaguely insulting. In fact, Italy is certain that that was an insult and he can't even read the atmosphere.

"I am the country! You can ask my brother or my other brother or my best friend, they're nations, too!"

Vimes is the best at vaguely insulting people.

"So, you've got a family of people who think like you?"

"Ve~" He is stumped. For just a moment. Italy isn't easily discouraged. "Of course! We're the nations. I can prove it!" He has no idea how, but why bother with pesky details?

And Vimes calls him on his bluff.

"Go on, then."

Silence.

More silence.

Sulky silence.

"You're mean."

"Well, you've just read what my life's like. Are you surprised?"

That gives him an idea and he brightens. "Can't you read my manga? Then you'll know I'm right!"

"What's that? Some sort of weird book?"

Back to vaguely insulted that Vimes doesn't even know his medium, never mind his show. "It's a book! With pictures!"

"A picture book? My lad reads them. He likes staring at the pictures, and likes Where's My Cow? the best."

Is he doing this on purpose? He has the copper's deadpan, so it's hard to tell.

'That's not... Well yes, but... Manga are different!' He looks hurt again.

"They're either picture books or comic books. I only read the former because of my lad."

"You're mean." He has said so before, but Italy feels the need to point it out again.

"Manga are different. They're better! And the manga is about me. I'm the main character. It's even named for me!"

"Uh-huh." Vimes frowns. "And how are they better?"

(And he has the common misconception about anime/manga. I feel like a hypocrite. :3)
