--You've got to be--joking--

[for some of you this familiar voice can barely be heard at first with the muttering. but, once he's cleared his throat, england is certainly ready to broadcast his displeasure of returning across the entire network.]

-- Er-- Hello again, city of Asgard, its so-called 'travelers' and of course our esteemed um... hosts.

[a pause; the judgment radiating from england's expression is palpable despite its lack of visibility over the bracelet's feed]

I didn't like being brought here before-- Why would you think I'd appreciate it a second time?! Clearly whatever it is you're playing at isn't finished yet. Alright, I'll play this little game again! [no, no he won't.] Oh yes, put my name on the register for "completely stupid endeavors"--! Sign it there: England, Arthur Kirkland, et cetera et cetera.

[a sharp exhale of breath can be heard. he gives a hearty hmph; exasperated, irked, frustrated.]

... I-in... in any case, er... If there's anybody I knew during my previous stay, I'd very much appreciate it if you'd contact me promptly. [england clears his throat again.]

Y--Yes--! Yes that's all. No point in making a small message into a lengthy talk now is there? No, no I didn't think so.

At any rate, here we are again and that's that!

[off goes the feed]

[ Ah, another country! And his most loved one! ]

England, you say?

You're another one of those "human countries, " signore?

[ ...

It's actually surprisingly nice to see this face. ]

Welcome back.

[ To hell.

But, no, that's a bit too dramatic. ]

Arthur!

[ oddly enough, she is more than a bit relieved to see him. He had known the Morgana who was and not the Morgana who woke up with new memories and new issues. Yet he knows much, perhaps more than anyone, about their time and their story.

She worries about it but she also wishes to speak to him of it. ]

I greet you back, sir; it has been far too long.

[ a grin. ]

[--o-oh--!! It's-- it's---it's the--]

--Doctor--?!

--Oh, er-- Yes-- England! The country, obviously!

W-well-- We're not human, but-- I suppose if that helps things make sense-- Yes indeed!

Yes! Doctor! England the country! Oh, I love UK, I was hoping there'd be one of you after I found out you country-people existed. Country as in. Not the country outside of cities, obviously, but countries.

Hello!

England, was it? I'm Beatrice. Beatrice Castiglioni.

The only other country I have spoken to is Korea, though I heard there were others here.

Why'd they bring you back?

[Truly this is the best of welcomes.]

[It's okay Uther--he feels the sentiment and he quite agrees with it.]

Oh, ah-- Thanks!

Er-- Thank you.

... [rubs at the back of his neck.] I assume it hasn't been very long since I went home, then.

Yes I-- Yes-- Doctor-- I-I know what you meant-- [it's like talking to a whirlwind--] Hello! Er, well, haven't seen any of my brothers or my sister here--That's Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and--Ireland, respectively--

Right. [FIXES HIS TIE] Hello. [wait he already said that. UH--]

I think the apt word would be personifications, if you must, but I can assure you I am the country of England.

It's a pleasure, Miss Beatrice. [----oh Korea... oh...] Yes there's-- there were, at any rate, I'm not ... certain they're here now--there were more of us. I apologize for anything embarrassing he might've done, or said, for that matter.

[ :| ]

Why are you still here?

-- Morgana--! [oh he can't help but smile, even though he tries not to, so it's sort of a lopsided dopey kind of thing. His smiles are nice but it's always clear he tries to keep a calm and steady demeanor.]

So it has--! How long, exactly? Good Lord, it was... nine months for me.

[ :| ]

I guess I'm lucky. [The amount of sarcasm packed into that sentence is incredible.] You just missed out on the latest attack.

They're using biological warfare now.

[He says it casually, but it's really a sign of how serious things seem to be getting as far as Iceland is concerned.]

Embarrassing? Why would he do anything embarrassing? [She never got to see that part of him.]

Although, I do remember that when he first arrived, he said he wanted to make many friends here, particularly women.

He also told me about the two Italies. [She smiles.] He said they are quite funny.

[opens his mouth to say something snarky, but--he has Feelings regarding that little phrase, and he sets his jaw immediately.]

--what--! Bloody bastards, as if I'll fight their sodding----

[HE BREATHES] --And... which ones of us remain?

Because he's him, that's why. [a soft huff.] --Oh, yes. North and South Italy. I suppose they're somewhat... amusing, in a way. If you like that sort of base, uncreative humor.

[hmph! He's folding his arms in defense, even if she can't see.]

Weeks and weeks but certainly not nine months. It would seem that time indeed moves differently. Are you well?

I see... [He's unsurprised, because--] That's how time operates when ah, one travels between worlds.

--Yes, I am in fact! [for a brief moment, he looks quite proud!] It was an eventful summer to say the least. And ah-- Yourself?

[morgana he is so happy to see you and he's trying to hide his happiness--for the sake of decorum.]

[There's a pause as Iceland goes through the list of active bracelets.]

Canada, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Norway, Romania, and Sweden. [There's a short pause.] And us.

[Another pause, and, more awkwardly--] If you get sick or--well, we have a cure for the disease they dumped on us. If you start getting some weird sickness with blisters and nausea and coughing up blood and--stuff--

I mean, it'd be dumb for it to get started again so you should go to the hospital if you get it.

Uncreative? With all due respect, signore, I believe Italy is anything but uncreative. It is the birthplace of the Renaissance, so many great artists have been birthed from its grounds, and our food is also very tasty.

I am curious about England, though, and I wished to go there someday. Please, do tell me some things about yourself.

[ Talking to a whirlwind, yes, that's the Doctor all right. ]

Oh, you're split up! Of course you are! That's brilliant. Personification sounds right, I agree. I don't doubt you. England.

Then let me just tell you that you. Are amazing. I don't even know you-- Or do I? Can you say you know the personification of a country if you know the country very well? Just how big of a connection is there, exactly? I haven't managed to gather that just yet.

I am -

[ she tries to think of all the questions she wanted to ask him for the past weeks, of her doubts and of her future. ]

Well. I have been thinking of you. But that can wait until you are more settled. Will you tell me of your summer?

A number of weeks.

[ A pause. ]

Do you want your owl back?

[ He's actually looked after it. He's surprised at himself. ]
