-in his tulip garden-

-tending his growing bulbs, smoking his pipe that is filled with tobacco.-

-walks up to Netherlands-
"Hey...mind if I look at the flowers too...?

-is a bit startled at the sudden approach by the man, but of course he does not show it-

Sure, whatever I don't mind.

-he takes a few inhaled breaths in his pipe, before puffing them out and walking slowly into the opposite direction.-

-looks at Netherlands as he walks away-
-thinks to himself- "Does no one want to be with me...?"
-looks to the tulips- "At least you stay by my side..."
- walks away-

-he stops from his browsing and tending and sighs to himself; pulling the pipe out-

Fine.

-I wondered why he was so co-dependent anyways. he thought to himself-

I have not heard or seen you in awhile, nor Japan. How is he?

-looks at Netherlands-
"He's fine I guess...I don't see him often since he has a lot of diplomatic duties."
-a long silence takes hold of the conversation-
"So...have you been doing well yourself...?"
-all the while continuing to look at the flowers-

-Netherlands ruffles his hair, before answering-

Well I happen to have free time from meetings and paperwork.. I guess I have been doing fine, nothing special has happened to me.

-blush-
"Umm...well that's good..."
-lifts his head to look Netherlands in the eyes-
"Umm...if you would like, would like to come have tea at my home some time...?"

-shrugs his shoulders-

Sure, I have nothing better to do anyways.

-places his pipe back in his mouth and continues to browse his tulips.-

"Oh ok... maybe next week"
-looks down at his watch-
"Umm...I must take my leave..."
-bows to Netherlands-
-walks away while waving at Netherlands then turns away-

Tot ziens.

-he placed the pipe in his mouth and drew his coat tighter.-

Do you need for me to walk you home?

-not making any form of eye contact to the other-

"No thank you...I'll be fine on my own..."
-bows again and leaves the garden quickly-

~Time Skip: 3 days~

occ: time skipu.~ oh how i love thee.

-walks up to Tokyo's home; knocks on his door three times before stepping back placing his hands in his coat pockets.-

note: this is a Japanese style home so yeah...

-a caretaker answers the door-
"Yes sir, how may I help you?"

I'm here to see Tokyo, he invited me a few days ago.

"Ah, you must be Master Netherlands. I have heard many great stories of you from Master Japan. I will Tokyo-sama meet you in the tea room."
-steps back and lets Netherlands in-
"Please place your shoes here." -points to a cubby to the right and gives him a pair of slippers-
-leads Netherlands into an ornate tea room-
"Please have a seat and Tokyo-sama will be down in a minute."

- he followed the maid into the room, and took off his shoes; putting the slippers on his feet. He looked around the ornate tea room, remembering the times when he visited Japan's home.-

*upstairs in Tokyo's room*
-finishes tying his obi for the kimono-
-walks down the stairs and into the kitchen-
-grabs the tea pot and other tea making essentials and walks into the tea room-
-places the objects onto the floor and bows-
-takes a seat beside the tea essentials (in front of Netherlands)-
"Hello...how are you...?"

-just watches Tokyo a bit before answering.-

I'm fine.

-It's about time he came. a rather rude thought popped in his head, but he quickly pushed it aside, as he adjusted himself on the sitting mat.-

"Gomenasai, for taking so long...I shouldn't have made you wait like that..."
-begins grinding the herbs for the tea-
-then mixes the water and herbs together-
"...I hope you like this...it has jasmine and orange blossom in it..."
-leans over and gives Netherlands his glass (never making eye contact)-

-Netherlands shifts forward to take the teacup filled with jasmine tea. he remembered a few Japanese words and phases from his last visit.-

Arigato.

-with that note, he took a sip of the hot tea before setting it down on the table; clearing his throat.-

That tastes very good, I do miss Japanese tea sometimes.

"Doitashimashte...I'm glad you like it."
-takes a sip from his own cup and places the cup on the table-
"Would you like some sweets or dumplings to compliment your tea?"
-wipes his hair out of his face and looks at Netherlands-

No. I'm fine.

-he shifts a bit as he places his hand on one of his thighs and leaned forward a bit.-

"Oh okay..."
"Well then...may I ask about what it is you do for a living..."
-looks down at his lap-

-a small smile appeared on his lips, but i quickly disappeared before Tokyo could register it.-

Well, if may ask. I mostly attend useless mettings that are held for people that are not you, I tend my garden and bake, I also do repairs with my home and other things.

-he does not feel like trailing on or asking the other about himself, he just simply pulled out his famous wooden pipe and placed some drugs in it.-
