G.e {Pov}

I stare at the Russian empire when he's getting up.
I feel myself getting red, so I quickly turn away.

What's wrong with me!? I think to myself, frowning.

"Tell me if I need to get up!" I raise my voice for him to hear.

"Get up!" He shouts back.

"Is your son there?!" I ask him.

"No! I need to show you something!" He answers.

"Maybe later!?" I ask him again.

"No! Get up right now!" He raises his yells back.

"You make no sense!" I yell to him.

"Get up!" He says again, tired of waiting.

"Okay, okay," I answer him, getting up.

When I got up, I didn't see anything special.
No one was around, except the Russian empire, of course.

I was confused.
What did he want to show me?
Why did he want me up here, with him?
Perhaps he will try to kill him from this height!?

He didn't think of that, and when he did, he let the question take over his mind.

Why did I trust him!? I zone out.

"Hello?" He waves a hand in front of me.

I look at him, and we make eye contact, but he quickly turns away, out of awkwardness.

"Ehm..follow me." Russian empire says after a while.

"Are you not scared to fall?" I accidentally say out loud

He turns to look at me and looks into my eyes, coldly.

"We are empires." He coldly says. "We aren't scared of stupid things, like falling off a roof."

"I didn't mean to say it!" I quickly yell back at him. "It just came out of my mouth!"

He looks at me and then says.
"That means you were thinking about it."

"N-no I wasn't!" I try to lie, but the stutter ruins everything.

Why do I even stutter next to him!? It's embarrassing! I never stutter near other empires!? Why do I stutter next to him then!?

"No, you were." He says

"No," I answer him, but he doesn't hear me.
Is he deep in thought? I think to myself and turn my head to look at him.

He is deep in thought.

After a while, Russian Empire finally realizes that I'm not talking anymore.
But instead of answering me, he asks me a question, that probably was the one he was thinking about.

"Are you scared of falling off a roof?" he asks me.

The truth is he wasn't scared of falling off a roof, he really wasn't, but the Russian empire didn't believe him.
Maybe because he asked the question? But it was an accident he said it already!

"No, I'm not" I answer

Russian empire looks at me and smiles.
"Alright then." he chuckles.

"Follow me," he says and walks away not looking back, I follow after him.

Since we were on a roof we didn't go anywhere far, we barely even walked.

He took me to sit with him, on a different side of the roof we just got up on.
The side wasn't that different, it was the front side of the palace, I didn't know how he knew about this site, because I didn't even know you could go up to this side.

I didn't pay mind to it though.
Russian empire, sat down on the roof,
and then turned to look at me.

"Aren't you gonna sit down with me?" He asks me.

"Eh..sure?" I answer him back.
Weren't they just enemies yesterday?
Why is he inviting him, to sit with him?

"Why are we sitting here?" I ask the Russian empire.

"What do you mean?" he asks me back.

"We are supposed to look for your son, not to sit here and-" I make a pause, not knowing what to say.
"-talk" I end my sentence.

"I suppose it is true." Russian empire answers me back. "But we aren't here to chat, we are here to wait for my son."

"Wait for your son?" I question him. "He isn't here, he is somewhere else than the roof."

"No, he isn't, he will come here," he answers me "I know my son, better than you."

"Right. We just sit here then?" I ask him.

"We can talk if you want to," he answers me.

"what can we even talk about?" I ask him.

"I think that my son hates me." Russian empire says out of nowhere.

My eyes fully opened at that.

"What?" I ask him.

"I think that my son hates me." he slowly repeats, giving me the death stare.

"What, why?" I ask him.

"I already told you," he answers me "I'm a bad parent, I can't take care of him, I am too stri-" I shut him off with my lips.
