[details]

Well. That was certainly rousing, wasn't it? One can never really quite know what to expect. On the other hand, at least some of the bigger picture is finally known. [There was a bit of a pause as he took a sip from a cup of coffee.] I do hope that everyone is well.

Perhaps now there will be a bit of a calm since those do tend to be nice before the next big storm.

[Either Russia keeps a rodent in his pocket or he's even more interesting than Arthur originally thought. Whatever it may be, it definitely has his interest as he's sure just about anything is possible.

...even miniature scarecrows or something.] Was that something in your pocket?

[vodkas]

[he pats it down to make sure it's back in place]

Oh, nothing important.

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

[That only makes him wonder more.] Of course. My apologies for probably being so intrusive with asking.

But are you absolutely sure?

[vodkas]

[He moves his hand away to show that there... is no pocket there.]

See? Nothing.

[...clearly Russia learned sorcery.] Of course. Must have simply been a mistaken on my behalf. My apologies.

[vodkas]

[Clearly.]

Apology accepted. [And with that, they can switch topics. Russia usually doesn't like talking about himself so much without finding out something about the person he's talking to, so...] Now, who are you?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

[A change in topic worked well for him. If Russia hadn't done so, he would have. though it might not have been to himself.] My apologies. I'm Arthur. I can't quite say that there's much of anything interesting about me, however. I'm simply a consultant by trade.

[Or something like that, anyway.]

[vodkas]

Oh, that is boring. [Hey, at least he's honest.] Who do you consult?
