[voice] 3rd grievance.

[unnoticeable]

[The SFC clicked on and for a few moments there was nothing said or seen. The only thing that could be heard was the occasional sizzle of what sounded peculiarly like a frying pan and a softly cursed 'mon dieu'.]

...bad time to ask, I know. But has anyone spoken with my idiotic brother lately? Or Mister England for that matter?

[He sounded a bit tired and worried, but gave away nothing more than that.

...yeah. He's also in your kitchen, Iceland.]

[Canada is... sometimes oblivious. Or simply refuses to believe because it can't be like that.]

W- what's the matter, Red?

[how does he even say it? he found it immensely hard to admit it to Canada, simply because of the fact that Red knows how close they really are...

but he had to say it... somehow. quietly, he received the idea of showing America's bomber jacket. so he took it from his shoulders, removing it as he raised it up to show in the video transmission.]

[There was nothing said at first as his expression remained quite blank. It was as if he couldn't quite find the words to say.]

[Chewing his bottom lip slightly, he looked away.] T- that's not fair. At all. I messed everything up and had so m- many plans to fix it and n- now I can't even do that much.

[Taking a deep breath, he still kept his focus elsewhere.]

H- how long ago?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

Since last week...

[he lowered his eyes now, doing his best not to cry again...]

I'm really sorry, Mattie. I wish I could've helped the two of you more...

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

...when I wasn't around. Figures. [With a shaky sigh, he ran a hand through his hair a few times.]

I- it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong so there's nothing to apologise for. I was the one who was dragging around.

...

No, I'm sure that you had your reasons... And I'm sure that he understood, too. He really likes you a lot, Mattie.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

I guess... I'm just being too hard on myself, eh?

...we still have each other, right?

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[he gets a bit teary after hearing that ;;]

... Of course! I'm always here for you, Mattie.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[Be warned, Red. He'll seek you out. He needs some hugs.]

Good. And I'll always be here for you as well, Red. Any time. Every time.

[pristinestar.livejournal.com]

[come here and let's hug!!! ;_;]

Thank you...

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[He will so be right there.]

There's no need to thank me for anything.
