Girl meets Bear [Canada]

[Liechtenstein]

(I hope I get this right)

Liechtenstein was exploring the warehouse. She figured that she was currently in the resting area. There were rows of bunk beds and she absently wondered there her bed was and who she was sharing with. She secretly hoped it was her big brother and if not another female would be nice. Liechtenstein rubbed her hands to keep them warm from the cold weather.

Suddenly Liechtenstein saw something white sitting on one of the beds. Slowly she approached the object and realized it was a bear, a white bear. A polar bear. Liechtenstein blinked, how did a polar bear get here? The polar bear blinked and, overcome with the bear’s cuteness, she smiled and instantly hugged the bear. The bear was soft and warm and she snuggled the adorable bear.

((Yeap, think it's fine~))

He'd been sleeping quite peacefully really, having decided that a nap was in order, since the events currently occurring had taken quite a toll on him. All the nations were indeed gathered in his home turf, on a continent that was ravaged by the undead. Who wouldn't be stressed out?

Canada had curled up on his bunk, dragging Kumaishhi with him for the extra companionship. Within moments he had drifted off into a light sleep, only slightly aware of his bear shifting around.

There was a sudden pressure on the bed that caused him to blink open his eyes. ...eh? A girl was sitting on his bed! He instantly blushed and spluttered, tossing himself backwards. Then he noticed that she was hugging Kumapasa, and apparently didn't see him at all. "U-um...excuse me...? Can you, can you see me?" He doubted she could even hear him.

[Liechtenstein]

Liechtenstein was beginning to feel sleepy. The bear was so soft and warm unlike the cold room temperature. She yawned and closed her eyes then hugged the bear tighter. But just as she was about to drift to sleep, Liechtenstein froze. Someone was watching her. Someone was here besides herself and the polar bear. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around.

“Who’s there?” Liechtenstein asked nervously.

She shivered and carefully placed her hand on top of her pocket which has her hand gun. Liechtenstein used her other hand to pull the cute polar bear closer to her, so no danger would come to the creature. She could feel something very powerful. Although it did not feel threatening or dangerous, it was so powerful that Liechtenstein felt small and helpless.

[[x] Canada]

It looked like the nation (for she was surely one, wasn't she? Except, he didn't really know her off the top of his head...) was going to fall asleep with Kumajiko in her embrace. While the violet eyed Canadian didn't really mind that, it would be pretty awkward if he were here. And technically, it was his bed, but that was a minor detail.

Her ventured question made him realize that she truly didn't see him. ...Well, you should've expected that. He started to panic when he saw her hug his bear tighter and seem to reach for something, which he hoped was not a weapon, as things could get sticky fast if the misunderstanding continued like this.

He tried coughing loudly to get her attention and leaned forward to gingerly touch her arm. "I know you can't see me right now, and that's normal, but my name is Canada." He hoped that if he stated his name, he might become a bit more visible, and thus be on the way of dispersing the girl's fears.

[Liechtenstein]

Seconds went by and there was no responds. Liechtenstein was feeling very unease and her hand silently reached into her pocket. Her heartbeat quickened and she wished her brother was here. Something touched her and she jerked back. Liechtenstein gave a startled cry and pulled out her handgun. Taking deep breath to calm herself down, Liechtenstein let Switzerland’s teaching run through her and began to professionally scan her surroundings. Suddenly she heard something.

“…that…but…name…” It was so soft Liechtenstein could barely hear it. She turned her head to the direction of the voice.

“Canada” The voice said then Liechtenstein began to see an outline of a person who was very close to her.

Shocked by the sudden appearance she jumped out of the bed and grab the bear with her. Then she realized what the voice just said and recognized the person as Canada. Liechtenstein blushed as she became conscious of how rude she has been.

[[x] Canada]

Woah no, she's got her gun out. What to do, what to do...she looks really startled, too... For a brief moment he frowned. With the small weapon in her hands, she looked quite a bit more familiar. That hairstyle, those eyes...could this be Switzerland's adopted sister? Nodding to himself, he tried to think of her name, grasped it from the depths of his memory, and spoke out, "Liechtenstein? Is that you?

Apparently, she could see him clearer now as he sensed her apprehensiveness turn into uncomfortable embarrassment. The blush on her cheeks was evidence enough of the latter. He crawled to the edge of the bed and stood up, brushing himself off and tentatively offered out his hand, accompanied with an equally shy smile. "Sorry for all that. I really shouldn't have been so sudden, my bad."

[Liechtenstein]

She could see him clearly now and she scolded herself for not noticing him early.

“Liechtenstein? Is that you?” The man asked. She knew who he is. He was Canada, a big and powerful nation. Liechtenstein hears about he’s brother all the time and Canada hosted the Olympics not so long ago. She was standing on his continent and she treated him so rudely. He must be really mad.

“Y-yes” Liechtenstein answered nervously as Canada stood up from the bed. Then she notice that the hand gun was still in her hand and quickly shoved it back in her pocket.

He knows my name. He knows who I am. He’s going to tell big brother. Big brother is going to be very upset with me. Liechtenstein was feeling terrible and she looked down on Canada’s shoes, too afraid to see his angry face. Canada moved his hand and Liechtenstein squeezed her eyes shut.

"Sorry for all that. I really shouldn't have been so sudden, my bad." Canada apologies.

He’s not mad? Liechtenstein asked herself. Of course he is, he’s just hiding it. Like Austria who plays the piano when he’s upset even though he doesn’t look mad. Liechtenstein panicked when she realized that she didn’t apologized at all. She slowly opened her eyes.

“I’m s-sorry Mr. C-canada. I didn’t see you- I mean- I wasn’t paying attention.” Liechtenstein frowned at how it came all wrong. She noticed his hand stretched toward her, implying that he wasn’t his polar bear back.

“You have a very lovely bear. I’m sorry I touched him without your permission” She handed the bear back slowly. Liechtenstein looked up to see that he was smiling before looking down again. Wow, he must be very happy to have his bear back.

Liechtenstein shifted her weight and began to apologies again. “I didn’t mean to be so rude, Mr. Canada. I was just afraid- I mean- surprised, this place is very new but I like it. You have a beautiful continent, Mr. Canada. I promised I will never act that way again; will you forgive me?"

[[x] Canada]

Blinking at the intensity of Liechtenstein's apologies, he accepted Kumacola back a bit dumbfounded-ly, and proceeded to set the drowsy bear gently down on the bed. Did she...did she seem to be afraid of him? Well, that's not good. At least she put the gun away...

"Oh, no, no, no, Liechtenstein! I'm not angry at you! Please don't think that. And it's ok, people don't see me very often, so it's not your fault." He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Are you here alone? Where's Switzerland?"

[Liechtenstein]

He’s not mad? Liechtenstein asked herself, feeling a bit surprised. Does this mean he forgives me?

Canada chuckled and rubbed his neck, the atmosphere suddenly felt lighter and Liechtenstein gave a small polite smile. But before she could apologies again to make sure he really wasn’t mad, Canada asked a question that left her mind blank.

“Where’s Switzerland?” Canada asked. Liechtenstein had absolutely no idea. Where is my big brother? She’s been so busy exploring the warehouse that she’d forgotten about him.

“I don’t know where Switzerland is.” She answered, and then added, “Maybe he’s at the shooting range or talking to someone.”

Liechtenstein eyelids began to feel heavy and she held back a yawn. All the action earlier made her tired and sleepy.

“I’m sorry about earlier, I should leave now so you could continue resting, Mr. Canada. Erm… do you know where my bed is?” She asked. Then frowned, of course he wouldn’t know. I shouldn’t have asked but maybe he would at least know where I can find the information.

[[x] Canada]

Nodding thoughtfully, he said, "That sounds like somewhere he'd be, yeah?"

Glad that she seemed to be less frightened of him (seriously, of him of all things!), he himself felt more at ease. So when she asked where her bed was, looking all sleepy, it struck a paternal chord in him and he answered with the gentlest of tones.

"Why, Liechtenstein, your bed's right here actually! I guess it seems that you'll be bunking with me throughout this whole zombie business. You can take a nap right now if your tired, you know, go ahead."

[Liechtenstein]

“Oh!” Liechtenstein said, a little surprise that he knew. “I hope we get along Mr. Canada.”

The idea of sharing with someone of the opposite gender made her blush. She was hoping to share with Switzerland and feel safer at night. Or another female and stay up late talking, like how she did with Hungry back when she was living in Austria’s house. But now that she met Canada maybe it won’t be so bad. In fact, she was starting to feel a little happy because he’s a very nice man and she want to get to know him. And maybe Canada might even let her hold the cute bear.

“I think I will go rest now. It’s nice meeting you.” Liechtenstein said before raising her hand for a handshake.

[[x] Canada]

Warmly accepting the proffered hand, Canada smiled and said "Don't worry, okay? If you need anything, I'll be right here, on this bottom bunk."

Letting go of her small hand, he gestured towards the upper bunk bed and inclined his head. "I hope you don't mind sleeping up there...Kumamika is kinda afraid of heights." He patted the bear's head affectionately. "If you want though, and if it's ok with him, you can hug Kumariri when you sleep, you know. Just ask me, and I'll ask him, anytime."

As the 'host' country, he felt that it was his duty to make sure that everyone was cared for and felt as comfortable as they possibly could, even more so since they were living in such uncertain times.

[Liechtenstein]

“Thank you. I hope we get along, Mr.Canada.” Liechtenstein said. Canada is very kind man she thought.

"If you want though, and if it's ok with him, you can hug Kumariri when you sleep, you know. Just ask me, and I'll ask him, anytime." Canada said and made her smile with delight.

She considered Canada’s offer to hold Kumamika(or was it Kumariri?) but decided against it. She was too tired right now and she didn’t think Kumariri (Kumamika?) would want to be disturbed again today. “I appreciate the offer but maybe another time.”

[[x] Canada]

"Alright, that's fine with me. I'll leave you to your rest now, okay?" He stole a peek at Kumajira, who had settled back into a white ball right in the middle of his bed, and then turned his violet eyes back on the petite girl.

"Remember, if you ever need anything, anything at all, feel free to ask me, yeah? See ya, Liechtenstein." Giving her one last smile, he trotted over to the ladder leading downstairs, intending to check around the warehouse. His smile soon turned into a depressed frown when his back was turned to the girl.

He was pretty glad that he'd handled the new encounter quite well, if he would say so himself. Nobody had gotten angry, nobody had gotten shot, everything turned out fine. He felt a twinge of sadness, however, at the fact that even young nations such as Liechtenstein had to fight against the zombies. Sure they had all been in trying situations before, but still, Canada couldn't help but despair at the loss of innocence in the world.

[Liechtenstein]

Liechtenstein nodded and gave a small wave as Canada walked away. She yawned again and slowly climbs up the short steps that lead to her bed. She collapsed on the soft mattress and closed her eyes. Liechtenstein recaps the recent even in her mind. It worried her how out of character and jumpy she acted, maybe the zombie situation influenced her without knowing it. Pulling her hand gun at Canada wasn’t a good idea but she was somewhat please how alert she was. It was proof that she was getting stronger. Ever since she met Switzerland, she has been depending on him too much but now with the current zombie problem she’s not planning to be a burden.

I need to be stronger so big brother can depend on me Liechtenstein thought before falling asleep.
