Argentina couldn't help but smile at the French that Seychelles gave her gracious thanks in. She knew very well it was French, since France used to try to teach her his language all the time whenever he would come to visit Spain. Tina didn't like to think about it often, but she really is close with all three countries of the Bad Touch Trio... even if she doesn't like to admit that she thinks of them as her close friends.
Seychelles' second time apologizing made Tina's smile instantly fade. "S-sorry? No, Seychelles. I already told you it was fine!" She insisted, shaking her head. "Really, it is. L-like I said.. I know you didn't mean any offense." Seychelles seemed really determined to prove to Argentina that she really was sorry. Tina didn't want Seychelles to feel like she had something to hold against her, though.

Seychelles smiled, she had no idea what to say right now. She was glad that Tina has truly foggiven her. She was worried that it was a "It was alright" just to brush off her apology. This made seychelles smile happier. She had this weird feeling that was always felt when France used to take care of her, she knew this feeling was friendship, something that she never felt for an extremely long time.
"Merci encore, Tina." Seychelles smiled happily, she felt a feeling that was locked up in her for many years ever since France stopped babysitting. Immediately, she hugged Tina. She was too happy to even realize what she was doing. When Seychelles realized what she was doing, she let go of the older nation. "Sorry amie!! I had no idea what I was doing just now." Seychelles said sheepishly, not sure why she hugged Tina.

Tina immediately tensed up when she felt two arms wrap around her, pulling her into a firm, friendly hug. Her jaw was agape and her eyes were wide, but she didn't pull away. Honestly, she was possibly too stunned to.
Even if Argentina wanted to hug back, she never got the chance to. As quickly as Seychelles had hugged her, she let go twice as fast. Of course, she was quickly apologizing yet again. Jeez, what an apologetic young island-nation. Seychelles always seemed to feel like she had to apologize, even for something that wasn't in the least bit bothersome. At least, that's what Tina could make of it.
Tina's eyes fluttered a few times as she tried to comprehend the sudden action. "Wh-- wait, d-don't apologize!" Her mind returned to its normal state. Argentina averted her vibrantly-colored green eyes from Seychelles' face. She instead looked down at her coat, and noticed she had begun unconsciously fiddling with a loose thread from one of the buttons, almost involuntarily. It was rare to see Argentina become so shy and nervous.
If this were a man who had just hugged her, Tina would probably kick them.. in the face.
"It's okay, I-I don't mind if you hug me.." She peered up at Seychelles' equally-nervous expression. Argentina took in a shaky breath and continued, "We are friends now after all.. right?"

"Right!! We are all friends!" Seychelles giggled. She knew that Tina could have already figure out her apologetic personality. But Seychelles was careful not to make the country get creeped out or such. "So...would you like a hug?" Seychelles asked. Making sure that Tina was alright with hugs.
Oh no, why was i acting like that country again...what was he call? Japan I think. Seychelles tried not to smile at the thought of herself looking and acting like japan. Her eyes looked at Tina in happiness, waiting for her answer.

So then, now Seychelles was asking for a hug? Not that there was anything wrong with it, it was certainly better than just being pulled into a tight embrace at random like Argentina had been in mere moments before. "Would I like a hug?" She repeated, sounding almost as though she were questioning the statement as it came out of her own mouth. Argentina sounded unsure, to say the least.
Despite this, she didn't give it much thought. It would only hurt Seychelles if she took too long to give any sort of response. Argentina gave an outward exhale of breath. "Sure. A hug is.. perfectly fine, I suppose." The dark-haired girl seemed rather awkward to be asked for a hug.
Argentina wasn't a very... huggy nation. She doesn't usually hug by request. It just sort of happens, right? Like friendship. If you try too hard to become friends with somebody, it doesn't work out. In Argentina's opinion, the same rule applies for any relationship-related topic of choice. However, it was clear that Seychelles was trying. She wanted to be closer with Argentina, it seemed. The least Tina could do was give her a chance by giving a simple hug.
"If you want to," Argentina lifted her arms, "then sure."

Seychelles smiled at her answer. She was glad that Tina said yes. Immediately, Seychelles embraced Tina. Seychelles was more of the hugging type of nation. She was just afraid that not many countries would accept her if she hug out of no where. She knew that Tina would not mind if she randomly hugged her but just wanted to make sure that Tina was really ok if that.
After a nice warm embrace, seychelles lets go and smiled. Tina was so nice to her, even if she could tell that she was not a normal country.

When she felt Seychelles' arms around her again, this time, it wasn't such a surprise, and this time, Argentina found herself hugging back. When Seychelles pulled away with a bright and radiant smile, Tina found it hard not to smile herself. She reached over and lightly patted Seychelles on the head.
"Alright.. all better? You have all your.. hugginess out of the way?" Argentina asked, just wanting to be sure she wasn't going to be ambushed again.
She let her eyes drift back down at the box on the lower bunk.. the laundry on her bunk. Argentina was still pretty upset that she would have to take the time to re-wash everything over again. Since the technology and electronics in the warehouse weren't as modern-time as the actual date the nations were living in, washing clothes was a more difficult task than Tina had grown used to.
Luckily, Argentina had been alive longer than washing machines were even around. Much, much longer. Plus, she had to clean clothes for Spain, and Romano, and the other colonies when she was younger, since she was the only colony who actually volunteered to do any of the chores that Spain ordered. She wasn't completely helpless like any human born in this day and age would've been.
Perhaps having Seychelles help her wasn't a bad idea after all... besides, she had offered earlier. Argentina was angry at herself for turning it down.

Seychelles nodded her head. She like it when Tina hugged her back. After all, hugging would not be complete with the other party did not hugged back.
Seychelles remembers that Tina have to go and rewash her clothes again and asked, " are you sure you did not want me to help with the washing of your clothes?". Seychelles could tell that Tina must have been fighting the zombies for a long while and must've been tired from all the killing and stuff. "I could help out you know." Seychelles said once more.

Argentina turned back to Seychelles, looking rather surprised. "Your offer to help me wash the stains out of my clothes is still standing?" She asked. Tina knew it was a rather stupid question with an obvious answer... but she just wanted to confirm before she made herself look like an idiot.
Argentina swung her legs around over the edge of the top bunk bed and, with the help of the railing of the ladder, hopped down safely onto the floor. She patted at the pockets of her coat to make sure nothing was in them before beginning to unbutton it. Argentina folded up the coat and set it down in the pile. Might as well clean her present coat while she's at it as well, right?
Tina adjusted the collar of her white button-up shirt and tightened the knot holding her tie together before looking expectantly up at Seychelles.

"Yeah! Why not!?" Seychelles said slowly climbing down from the top. "I would be bored if I was'nt doing something you know?" Seychelles said as she reached the ground. Seychelles wanted to do something. Maybe helping Tina out would be nice.
She grabbed Tina's box full of laundry and smiled. "So do you use washing machines here of hand wash them?" She asked sheepishly, "I usually hand wash them. I heard that the clothes would turn out cleaner when hand washing them.". Seychelles giggled at the senior nation.

Argentina shrugged her shoulders. "I mostly just hand-wash my clothes. At least I have ever since I began staying here in the warehouse. There's probably a washing machine somewhere in the warehouse, but I've never seen it." Her lips curled into a small smile. "I don't mind hand-washing though, really. I used to do it all the time when I was little."
Tina sighed and nodded at Seychelles before heading over to one of the tall ladders that lead down to the bottom floor of the warehouse. "After I get down, toss the box down to me, I'll catch it. The way down is really far, if you hold that box while you try to climb down, you'll end up falling and breaking your neck."

Seychelles nodded and follow Tina while carrying the box. When Tina climb down, Seychelles let go of the box right after Tina lifted her hands to catch the box. Seychelles then climbed down of the ladder and continued to follow Tina. Wandering where was she going to wash her clothes.

Argentina managed to make it to the lower level of the warehouse safely. She reached up just in time to catch the box in her arms. The newfound weight dropped right into her arms made her let out a gasp. She groaned and stood up straight, holding the box close and looking up at Seychelles as she came down.
Tina heaved a deep sigh. Perhaps tossing a 30-pound box down a 40-something-foot ladder and into the arms of a tiny girl wasn't as good of an idea as Argentina hoped. Oh well, on the brightside; she caught the box safely in her arms. At least she didn't drop it on her foot.
