Oh Maple.

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

Characters: Canada and YOU
Setting: The hallways or wherever
Format: I'm starting in action, but I'll follow you!.
Summary: Matt's woken up and is a little distraught so he's wandering the halls.
Warnings: none yet

The waking up process had frightened him, creating a deep unsettling worry in the pit of his stomach that made him want to be sick. But once it had passed and he'd been able to sit up and look around it had only heightened the sense of worry. Finding his glasses on the table near his bed it took him a moment to collect himself and inspect his surroundings.

THe letters had been his first real imperical proof of the sense of dread he had been feeling. And it only grew once he noticed the room he was in to the extent that he felt like crying. But the scratching and growling form the trunk at the end of his bed made him scramble and throw it open. HIs bed blinked owlishly at him and something seemed to make him feel a little better at seeing the items in his trunk.

After he'd changed and checked the other beds in the room, his bear expressed that he was, in fact, starving. Course the fat little bear was always starving, so Canada simply picked him up with a sigh and made his way out of the room and into the hallways.

Now came the real challenge, where was everything and where was he in relation to those things.

"Oh maple, this sucks."

Matt easily looped an arm around her back to help steady her and take the weight off of her leg once he noticed she was favouring it.

"I woke about an hour ago at most. Can you explain to me where exactly I am? The letter was depressing at best." he gave a shy smile and helped her move away from the wall.

Well that was certainly different. She was more so used to either Austria just offering a hand or Gilbert just pushing her back over to her injured leg. So having an arm around to steady her made her cheeks dust in a gentle pink.

"Uh- w-well, this is apparently a sort of- asylum hospital? It's a tower that has us trapped but- they say that our world was destroyed but- if that was true- we wouldn't be here." She frowned but part of her was grateful that she was able to see more familiar faces which helped seal that their world might just be fine and all of this was a big lie.

"Ah, that would make sense. So, we're all kidnapped in a sense?" he asked and ignored the blush on Hungary's cheeks. He was just being nice and he hated seeing when people were in pain or were struggling. So giving her a hand was just a base reaction.

"What happened to your leg?"

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"In a sense, yes." She said with a nod as she glanced away just a bit shyly. It was still awkward having someone so nice to her even though he did stand up for her to allow her in to NATO.

Blinking, she looked down at her leg then up at him. "Oh ah- I was bitten by something.. A sort of poltergeist beast, I guess? I didn't see it."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"A what? That seems um... impossible?" he blinked several times looking down at her. A poltergeist beast? What on earth had he somehow managed to get himself into?

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"That's what I kind of thought as well." She frowned while gazing down with eyebrows knitted. "Apparently they were very real though... even Gilbert got hurt."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"Prussia's here? What happened to him?" Matt could only think what trouble the stubborn albino had managed to land himself in. Sure Prussia was a brilliant tactician, but that didn't mean he was very good at thinking on his feet.

"I can only imagine what trouble he managed to get himself in if your leg is this bad, Hungary."

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

Shaking her head, she held her hand gently to his shoulder. "Please don't worry about him. I tried to take care of him the bed I could. He suffered a hurt arm but- I'm glad I got most of the pain rather than him."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

Matt couldn't help the small smile. He'd long ago figured out the odd relationship and history between Hungary and Prussia. He never even tried to understand it but he knew better than to get too mixed up in it.

"You really care for him, don't you?"

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

Watching him for a moment, Hungary cracked just a small smile. "We're just...I don't know.He acts like he hates me all the time so I react the same way. I guess it's just a one day at a time thing. Just as long as he stays with us then- I'll deal."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"Yeah but that's Prussia, he's the big bad on the playground right?" Matt couldn't help the quiet laugh that escaped him at the analogy. "One day at a time is a good way to look at it, but if you need a hand I don't mind."

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"Something like that. He just annoys me to no end. Sure I beat him up but - sometimes it's for his own good given he doesn't think things to their consequence." She frowned before shaking her head. Enough of the bad thoughts for now.

"I tend to avoid him around here the best I can. It's just comforting enough to know he's alive here."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you should spend more time with him? Just, I know it might give you a headache but... ever think that he's just lonely?" It was one of Matt's personal insights, of course it could be completely untrue but sometimes he had to wonder how far Gilbert's bravado went before he just needed a hug.

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"Something tells me he's not that lonely. He always has women he sleeps with, men he sleeps with, Spain, France, Germany. He just likes to push buttons. It's kind of his forte." She said with another small shrug but a sympathetic smile almost. "I'm pretty sure he's happy with himself.Besides, all we do when we're together is try and kill one another." She smirked.

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but has he slept with anyone since he's been here? I know he's a partier but even then, it can get lonely." Matt wasn't talking about having people around him. Prussia was great at always having at least one or two people in his immediate area. But anada was talking about companionship on a different level. Of course it might've been the wrong audience to discuss it with but Matt was always hopeful.

"Course Prussia is Prussia, he wouldn't tell you even if you bribed him with a mountain of pancakes and his favourite beer."

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you'd make a better companion to him than myself." She said with a partial shrug while stretching her irritated leg just a bit. The pain continued to be a minor throb, but she did her best to ignore it the best that she could.

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"Maybe, but we're just friends" he shrugged and noticed when she stretched her leg. "Do you want me to look at that? You seem to be having a lot of trouble with it."

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"Hm." She gave a faint smile at that. She knew that they were becoming rather close and perhaps even more than friends but that wasn't her place to judge or say anything on the matter.

Looking back down at her legs, she lifted the hem of her dress with no shame [ really, they were just legs and underpants. Not that big of a deal.] and moved her leg to show the bruising. "It's alright. Just still a little tender after that ordeal. It should be fine as long as I keep exercising it."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

The conversatoin about Prussia forgotten, Matt moved on to inspecting Hungary's leg.

"Did you get stitches in your leg? Because that might be whats making it sore if you haven't removed them yet." he commented and did his best to look at the bruising. Surely there was an infirmary around and with all of his Peacekeeping and red ross efforts Matt had learned more than enough about severe injuries and their care.

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

"I removed the stitches. As much as I'd like to go to the doctor's I'm not- exactly trusting to those doctors that had brought us here." She huffed before lowering her dress hem back down. "Trust me, I'm alright. I just need to keep working it until the bruising at least goes to the ugly yellowish green color. Then I'll be fine."

Patting his hair softly, she smiled. "Thank you for the concern though."

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

"If you're sure, I really don't mind helping but... I don't think climbing stairs is good for you with that leg. Flat surfaces maybe." Matt really was concerned for her. Even as nations he knew that it was painful and they could still damage themselves if wounds didn't heal correctly.

He felt slightly undermined at the head pat and blushed. "It's what I do."
