It was downright horrible.

She didn't want to believe her captors when they said her world was gone, but the truth was laid bare to her when she was somehow brought back to her world without her knowledge.

It was exactly as they said; her entire home has turned into a complete wasteland, devoid of life. She could not feel her people, and the land was dead in her heart. But yet, how could she be sustained? It must have been some sort of magic her captors pulled on her, and she touched the collar on her neck instinctively.

Sí, this must be what's keeping her alive. This strange contraption.

Back at the tower, she curls up on one of the couches on the fourth floor, looking forlornly out of the window.

"For a small extent, you have good enunciation," she replied, the smile growing wider. "But you don't seem to be Spanish. More oriental... One of Japan's? Or China's?"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"I'm from Japan, but I've done a fair bit of traveling all over the world." Eiji smiles, though it's a sheepish one. "Glad I haven't gotten completely rusty."

Spain couldn't help but laugh. This young man was cute, in that 'young handsome man but is too young for her sadly' kind of way. "I could teach you more, if you want. Something to get my mind off the situation..."

There was a bit of an awkward pause before Eiji nodded. "That would be rather nice, miss." Then he straightened up, and put a hand out. "Oh, I didn't introduce myself - I'm Eiji."

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"Spain," she replied, returning the handshake. "It is a pleasure meeting you, Eiji."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji's head tilts. "You're named for the country?"

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"I am the country." The look on her face isn't a lying one, Eiji.

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji stares for a moment, then leans back on the couch, scratching his head. On one hand, this was odd. On the other hand, he'd spent a lot of time recently running around with a being who was a manifestation of desire itself, so a personified country wasn't so odd in comparison.

"...huh."

It would make commenting about the beautiful scenery a bit awkward, though.

Spain laughs softly. "That seems to be the reaction I get nowadays," she confesses, shaking her head a little. "Not many of them in the tower believes me to be a Nation."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji laughs as well. "Ah, it is an odd concept to me, for certain, but not the oddest thing that's crossed my path."

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"I'm pleased that you believe me."

Sighing, she looks out at the grey sky again. "I wouldn't believe anything, if it wasn't for the reality of it all."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

There's a smile from the man, and he nods. "Given the situation, I think it's helpful to give people the benefit of the doubt. I know I'd certainly want the same in such a position."

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"I suppose you're right, Eiji."

A sort of comfortable silence fell between the two of them, before Spain spoke up again.

"So... what do you do, Eiji?"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I do a lot of temporary and odd jobs - mostly travel here and there, like I said. Don't really stay in one place very long." He smiles. "Nothing fancy."

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"That sounds lovely, being able to travel a lot." She tucks a lock of hair behind one ear before continuing. "I myself have done much travelling when I was younger. Age of Exploration, you see. New lands to adopt and all."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"Though I haven't gotten to do so fairly recently - working on saving up some so I can get back to it..." There's a pause, then he sighs, looking at the room. "Ran into a bit of a hangup, though."

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" She glances at him curiously. "A hangup, Eiji?"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"Showing up here." He looks a bit awkward, pointing this out.

[latomatetas.livejournal.com]

"Oh."

Spain nods, blushing a little at her mistake. "I suppose showing up here messes up everyone's schedule."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji chuckles a bit, scratching his head. "Just a bit, yeah..."
