Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?

[Text]
Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

And when did you decide that being something other than human meant they should all be destroyed? I've spent as long as I've known my Pops fighting people who think they have the right to enslave fishmen and mermaids just because they're another species. I don't care how threatened those humans felt, it's not enough. Giants, okama, trolls? [Pokes Japan's forehead.] Somehow I don't think sleeping with one and inviting others to you door for sandwiches counts in the same way matey.

Marco is connecting it wrong. [He's not usually so blunt, but really!]

It is because they are a threat. Perhaps Marco can see they are not, but that is how Turkey-san is thinking, and considering history I believe he has a reason. ...When I have considered others to be threats simply by ideas and no proof, I have attacked first, in the past.

That is simply what fear will do.

Everyone's a threat.

They also have the potential for more if you let them. Until you know which way they'll go, backing them into a corner only turns them into a threat.

[That hand on Marco's arm slides down to hold his hand.]

Marco must have had to learn that somehow. I did, as well. So perhaps he should give Turkey-san the chance to. ...I will try my best to speak with him, but speaking is all we need.

You do that then, but I don't think I'll be a help.

And I'm serious, Bushido. If he hurts Flonne or one of the others just because they're a vampire, I will kill him. Because that makes him the only danger. Not them.

K-killing him would not solve anything!

It sends a very good message.

[He actually lets go of that hand again to place both firmly in his lap and stare at the ground. He looks bothered, but also in argument with himself. And honestly he's not sure what to say...]

[DEEP BREATH and shivers.]

The girls then. The rest I think can defend themselves. [Gently ruffles Japan's head, but then backs up to give him space.]

I'm sorry. I know he's an ally. If you can reign him in or convince him otherwise, or keep him in the dark, I won't bring it up again.

...I see. [He doesn't even bother fixing his hair at that gfkldjgfkg] I will try my best, then.

I appreciate that.

May I ask how you became friends? Or met?

[He'll loosen up a bit to think back on that, at least.]

Hm... We have had shared traditions and values for quite some time, but I suppose... When the Emperor's nephew and I visited. Turkey-san and his Emperor at the time-- ah, he was the Ottoman Empire then-- greeted us. The two of them spoke, and so Turkey-san and I were able to speak as well.

[As I head canon shit spontaneously, I DON'T KNOW IF ALEX IS OKAY WITH THIS if not I can retcon shit. Oh well. Sob.]

[OOPS SORRY. Yes, taken with flexibility!]

I see. But he wasn't on your side in the war? Or was he? [Sits back down next to Japan, sitting crosslegged and his with his tail trailing behind him, to signify just how much he trusts Japan. Also because his tail is pretty and he's a teeny bit peacock about it.]

[Marco you're the reason people think Japan is a furry]

...He remained neutral for quite some time. I believe he was very much pressured when he declared war on Germany-san and myself.

[HE IS. And please, Japan was into cat ears and tail long before Marco got there okay.]

But you trust him again now?

[PSHHHHHHH]

...Of course.

I guess that makes sense. Since you forgave even America. [Pets... and one-armed hug.] Ah, I almost envy you love.

[Japan just frowns. Well, if he didn't forgive anyone who went against him in that war, even ceremoniously, he'd truly be alone wouldn't he?]

I do not believe anyone should envy me.

Oh? Why not? [A little worried and tugs that hug a little.]

[Leans into slightly at the tug]

I have made too many mistakes...

Ah... regrets?

[He looks super ashamed over here]

Unfortunately.

[Hugs again and steals that hand back to hold and kisses his cheek to try to make it better.]

Oh Bushido...

Talk to me. You still seek forgiveness was it?

[Afjkdgjfkd. He lets Marco hold his hand, but the kiss makes him turn his head away in embarrassment. Mostly he feels lame for having to be comforted or something.]

Yes. From others, and from myself. It will be quite some time, I am sure.

I guess it's easier to work on others than yourself, eh?

[Shifts so he can lean on him from behind with both arms hugging and hanging down across Japan's chest.]

Are you doing anything towards that goal?
