[willbeurprincess]

Who: Koharu Izaki, Lithuania, Poland
What: AN INTERVENTION
Where: 5720 Cunningham Lane
When: Afternoon
Warnings: None yet. Probably bickering and sadmoes

[Koharu had called them both to ask them to come over around three and puttered around the kitchen for a little while, setting up tea and coffee. Then a few things of cookies and a plate of pieces of cakes. She fidgeted, brushing crumbs from a few plates and fixing napkins. She wasn't really sure how to even go about this]

...I hope this goes well.

[Poland has shown up at 2:51 to ring Koharu's doorbell. He figured that anything he could do differently from the last time they tried this it would make it end differently from the last time.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania wasn't really expecting to be beaten to Koharu's house--usually Poland wasn't so punctual. Then again, Lithuania hasn't gotten a proper night's sleep for days--and probably looks it--so maybe he's just a bit slower than usual. He lingers on the walk to avoid having to start talking to Poland just yet--he's not sure how this is going to go but arguing outside of Koharu's house would be rude.]

[willbeurprincess]

[She rushes to the door, somehow not expecting them quite so early and smiles hesitantly as she opens the door] I'm sorry, I was still in the kitchen Poland--Oh and Lithuania. You're both here early, that's good. Um, Come in?

[She holds the door open wide and gestures inside, pleading with her eyes for some form of civility]

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland turns to see Lithuania behind him as he goes in the house. Considering how long he'd known Lithuania, he really shouldn't have felt as anxious as he did now.] Oh. Um... I didn't know you were there.

[vytis]

Ah, hello, Koharu.

[Lithuania hesitates at responding to Poland, trying to figure out what to say.]

W-well, it's fine. ...Hello.

[willbeurprincess]

...Come in you two please.

[Koharu holds open the door wider and bites her lip, trying to smile brightly but its just a little hesitant]

[likesottlyfab]

[Comes in and goes into the kitchen to sit.

This is so awkwaaaaard.]

...

[vytis]

[Lithuania will just sit across from Poland and address Koharu because that is much less awkward than talking to Poland.]

Thank you.

[willbeurprincess]

So ah...You're welcome. There's tea and cake and things--

But um. [Koharu hesitates, not sure how to begin and she slowly begins addressing the table as time goes on, not really wanting to look up at either in case they get mad] You two don't hate each other, you're just angry. Perhaps if you both apologized for things you may have done--even if Mayfield made you do them? And--leave the things from the past in the past. We aren't here to mend a thousand years of hurt feelings...we can't, so...just what happened here? That's where it all started to fall apart right?

Poland you could apologize for the ultimatum, Lithuania for hurting him and all...?

[likesottlyfab]

[Since Lithuania apologized last time, even if it was pretty forced and lame, Poland will try this time.]

I didn't give you the ultimatum to make you mad or to bring up any of that other stuff that happened in the past.

I only did it because I thought it would make things better than they were. And they were pretty bad. So. I thought it would be like you know, helpful or whatever.

[vytis]

[Lithuania can't help but wonder if the apology is as forced as the one he gave at Ukraine's house. Part of him resents the idea and part of him feels bad for that resentment, but he's not about to make a scene in front of Koharu so he does his best to swallow the questions he wants to ask about the apology, though his dubiousness probably shows on his face at least a little.]

I'm sorry I hurt you. I overreacted.

[willbeurprincess]

[Koharu busies her hands with fixing tea, having figured out how each likes it after a few tries. She pushes them towards the two of them and smiles shyly]

Do the both of you accept the apologies?

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland can see the dubiousness on Lithuania's face. The question doesn't even need to be asked.]

Don't look at me with that face, I mean it!

Okay so I didn't think it all the way through and it really wasn't a good idea at all bringing you that ultimatum, but I felt really bad about what I said--I mean you totally started it so I couldn't just go over there and say sorry first or anything, but it wasn't your fault really, just like what Hungary did wasn't her fault either and I get that now but I didn't then-- so I thought that if neither of us would apologize then it'd never end just like the last time we didn't talk for forever and I didn't want that because I hate fighting with you when it's serious and it's totally not fun at all so I thought well just sign it like last time and everything will go back to being somewhat normal again even if you're still angry at me and I'm angry with you it doesn't matter because at least there's something forcing us to talk again and eventually it'd be okay again!

[vytis]

[The honesty involved there catches Lithuania a bit off-guard; not that Poland is typically the best of liars, but that Poland would both realize and then tell Lithuania these things.]

You know things don't work that way.

[There isn't anger there--it's closer to his usual exasperation, with some degree of fondness mixed in. He fusses idly with the teacup Koharu presented for lack of anything else to do with his hands.]

I'd rather--that you didn't think you had to force me to talk to you?

[willbeurprincess]

[Koharu looks between them hesitantly and settles on sipping her own tea, watching them and nudging a plate of savory biscuits towards Lithuania, for his lack of a sweet tooth and all.]

[likesottlyfab]

Yeah but like, you almost killed me so I wasn't really thinking about it right.

And I didn't think you'd ever want to talk to me again.

You know. With that I said... and everything.

[He said some really awful and cruel things after all.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania nods his thanks to Koharu, a bit distracted because he's half lost in thought.]

I really shouldn't have attacked you like that. I mean it, it was an overreaction and I don't really know what I was thinking.

[Probably at least in part Mayfield's fault, but he knows it's something he might have done long ago, at least, and that's enough for him to take the guilt.]

[willbeurprincess]

...We really shouldn't hold others responsible for what Mayfield does to us. Right?...You two know each other so well it's easy to be able to push the right buttons and it's easy to get carried away in these situations, with the way it was affecting you.

[She's, once again, addressing the table. Latvia's dubioussness over her being able to help keeps replaying in her mind. Maybe she should just stay silent and then deal with it]

1/2

[likesottlyfab]

[That was the worst part of it though for Poland when he thought about it though. Mayfield technically hadn't done anything to him, he'd just been reacting to whatever it did to Lithuania. ]

Yeah...

2/2

[likesottlyfab]

But still. I don't really think that you're not worth anything, Liet.

I think you're worth a lot.

[vytis]

...I know you didn't mean that.

[It had still hurt to hear Poland say it, of course, but it's also nice to hear Poland actually acknowledge that he shouldn't have said something, even if it wasn't exactly direct.]

[willbeurprincess]

[Annnnd getting up to fiddle with things and leave them to this] You two keep talking, alright?

[likesottlyfab]

[Frowns as Koharu gets up. Lithuania's face was still twisted up in an expression Poland didn't like looking at.]

You can totally punch me again if you want. Or kick me or say something really mean to me back. I don't care.

I just want to be friends again.
