[HOORAY TODAY IS EASTERN ORTHODOX EASTER TOO. AND I AM NOT RUSSIAN ORTHODOX so seriously feel free to correct me on anything that is about to transpire.Russia is sitting in the dining room. In the dark. Alone. With like two candles burning. There are some wilting sunflowers in an empty jar. Does this sound depressing? Because it totally is. But yet

After a few seconds, she knocks lightly on the door frame.]

Russia jumps slightly because HOLY SHIT COMPANY. He only ever has his sisters over for Easter dinner, but the female version of himself is close enough. He stares awkwardly for a moment before remembering social skills propriety. He sits up all gentleman-like (but he's a gawky teen so really that has little effect) and gestures to a seat by him. In Russian:]
Would you like to join me for dinner?

Yes, thank you.
[She approaches, quietly, wearing her little mink coat and hat and everything, and she goes to sit next to him. She puts down the little canisters she was holding; containers of left over borscht, and some pie that was from before. As well as an onion dyed red egg.]
Left over from lunch. I figured you would be hungry still.

Thank you for your consideration.
[Russia's shoulders relax a little as he falls into the routine of behaving civilly... and tries to quell a tinge of paranoia. Surely the other Russia wouldn't poison him, right? She's not one of the suspicious boyars or any subordinate of the Commonwealth's. Still...
He distracts himself with the egg.]
They say that a painted egg given from the heart will never spoil, but I have yet to see evidence of this. But perhaps I have just never been given the right egg, yes?

ok i kid. but anyway, like any teenager, he is hungry. thus he goes to the kitchen. and there he finds Russia. eating jesus bacon ]
Oh. Hello, Russia-san.

Jesus bacon is always delicious. Russia smiles nervously at the company, nodding his head in acknowledgment. What do friends do on Easter? Other than go to church, of course.]
Hello, Suzaku.
[Awkward pause. WHY ARE HUMANS SO NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED, WHAT WITH THEIR FRIENDSHIPS AND SHIT.]
...Would you like some?

I just learned the other day that bread is supposed to literally become the body of Christ in the Catholic doctrine. Or something. I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED don't judge meeee.
Have a small smile, Suzaku.]
I do not mind. Today is meant to be spent with others.
[Just not people who are invading you and putting puppet princes on your throne or your failure father who only helps you when you give him land /sob

[She stares for a while. No she is not feeling sorry for cute little Russia. Even though he is quite unlike Roshia. ...But even Russia gets a gift. So she has to mention it..]

Привет! Er... hello!
[I AM ADORABLE AND CATHOLIC. SHOWER ME WITH GIFTS.]

Uh.. hi!
Hey, I painted an egg for you, and got you some chocolate, too! Can I bring it to you?
Reply
You did? ...Okay.
[He looks surprised. Just this face forever.]

So have a somewhat tinier Lithuania than what you're used to with an armful of fresh sunflowers knocking against the doorpost.]

Lithuania may be tinier (and that is weird to him), but he's still, in Russia's mind, the enemy, or at least a future enemy until this whole False Demetri fiasco is resolved.
Russia's inner reaction is this: DHSJAKPRTEGHWUKRFHAWGBRGKWEGKHEAJDSRT
Russia's outer reaction is to jump a little, set his face into a cold expression, and grip his fork a little too tightly. In Russian:]
H-hello.
[Translation: DON'T HURT ME.]

[That's what you get for being nice ;O; Anyway he'll come a few steps inside and offer the flowers to him.]
You liked those, if I remember right?
[Flowers are kind of a big deal to almost all of Eastern Europe, so he pays attention to that.]
Reply
Russia blinks in confusion and carefully takes the flowers (hoping that there are no knives hidden among the stems.)]
I do. ...Thank you, I suppose.
[The thanks is said as though it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. He stares blandly at Lithuania.]
Why are you doing this?
