week three - wednesday evening (erhard)

[eisenundblut]

[Prussia's on the beach checking her own bandages. Newt had already helped her with the worst of her scratches, and the rest she'd been able to take care of herself. Her blouse is unfortunately the shreds of cloth she used as bandages, so she's just sitting in her plain white bra. Don't get too excited now.]

...You did great, kid, [she says when she notices Erhard's approach.] Really don't know where we'd be without you. I'm really proud of you.

[She beckons him to come closer. Let her pet your head without forcing her to stand up!!]

Comments

[ LISTEN... No excitement here. Erhard is tired, but relatively pleased! ]

... I just did as much as I could've done.

[ He'll hesitate a bit, looking around where he's standing then sit down next to Prussia? ]

I suppose it's safe to say it could've gone worse. And-? How's your status?

[eisenundblut]

[What a good doctor...

As soon as he sits, Prussia pats the top of his head tiredly. Then snorts a little laugh of amusement. What's your status... He really does sound like Germany. What a cute doctor she loves him.]

Newt helped bandage me up. [She turns a little, points to her back. She's managed to shred her blouse into enough bandages to passably cover them up, but she's going to run into trouble when it's time to change them. They... sure needed a lot of bandages all in one go tonight, good work kids.]

Had worse. This shit will heal in no time!!

[--Except it won't. She's not a country anymore, and wounds tend to... linger. Not that anyone needs to know that.]

You did real good today, Erhard.

[chiralreaction]

[ Why is Prussia a way better parent figure then Erhard's real parents and adoptive parent. The Real Q? He's definitely still not use to these pats but..! ]

That's good. There shouldn't be any problems with them as long as you take caution and rest.

[ please... Don't do anything rowdy?

He just looks down at the sand. ]

We didn't lose anyone and that's what mattered. It's all thanks to the people that decided to assist, it wasn't just me.

[eisenundblut]

[She'll be good!! She's good!! Probably. Also she's the best parent Austria doesn't know shit.]

Ja, ja. Don't forget, I'm the great Prussia. I'll heal up before you know it.

[She pats his shoulder this time. Sorry, kid, she has all this affection for you and you just have to Deal With It.]

Wasn't just you, you're right, but you can take some pride in doing a good job. It's been at least a hundred years since I had to do anything like this, so I really owe it to you. You have to make sure to rest well like a snug bug in a rug, you hear me!!

[She pokes his cheek, trying to elicit a smile.]

[chiralreaction]

[ Well, Austria still thinks that Erhard pushed her in the ocean out of his own malice and volition!!!! Also don't talk shit about her??? What if she hears us from beyond the grave... ]

I'll be the one to judge that.

[ Who's the doctor here?

But, fine... Fine fine fine. He'll maybe crack the smallest smile from that cheek poke. Small one! Short one. Happy now?

Now, he's still not much of a talker however-- he does have one thing to say at least. ]

. . . Thank you, for supporting me all this time.

[eisenundblut]

[It's fine to speak ill of the dead if it's in brackets!!

But ugh fine he is the doctor. He'll get a bit of a pout, but she doesn't argue the point. Instead she just grins, poking his cheek one more time at the smile before drawing her hand back.]

You don't have to thank me for that. That's what I'm here for! If nothing else, you know you can rely on me. No matter what, I'm on your side, kid.

[She takes his hand and squeezes it gently. Look, she cares so much!!]
