( Spain turns on the camera, looking like he's swallowed liquid happiness. He's almost literately beaming, even looking a little healthier than he normally does - or at the very least, almost younger somehow. ) You know what? Boss feels really good! I mean, really really good! I haven't felt like this in ages. I feel like I could conquer the world! Again.

This island is being so nice, too, did you know? Suddenly my bank account is huge! Ay, I hope this means things are better back home, it's been kinda iffy for so long and I'd really like it if it was this good back home. Maybe it's a miracle!

But- But! The biggest miracle of all is- ( He grins wide, shifting the camera to focus on two small children, clad in rather old fashioned maid dresses. ) Roma and Veneziano are here! And they're so tiny! I know this island sometimes does things like make us little or older or something like that, and look! I don't know why they're here or why they're little again, but Boss couldn't be happier! It's like being in heaven!

( Excuse him while he go runs to coo over two little kids - and probably get headbutted by one of them. )

[ YAAAAAAAAAAY HUGS ]

[quixotical]

( ALL OF THE HUGS POSSIBLE. ) Boss can't believe you're so tiny again! It's so cute!

[piccolatalia.livejournal.com]

Tiny... "again"?

[quixotical]

Ay, nevermind that now. Boss is just so happy you want to stay with him!

[piccolatalia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm happy too! Hey, does fratello Spagna have any pasta here?

[ easily distracted... ]

[quixotical]

( Sob he is fairly used to this. )

Oh! I think so. Let's go look! ( La la picking him up and carrying him towards the kitchen. )

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ No headbutts. Yet. But he's looking far from impressed.

As usual. ]

You're not a cute girl. You're just stupid Spagna.

[quixotical]

Still rude, I see. ( Whatever, Spain's still gonna hold you close. So cute. )

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Yup. And now he's going to puff his little chubby cheeks out until he resembles a tomato and wriggle around. ]

Let me go damnit!

[quixotical]

( While he definitely didn't miss what a fussy child he was, he definitely did miss just how cute Romano was. He just clutches Romano tighter, cooing gently at him. ) Nope! Not letting go! It's been so long since I've gotten to cuddle with you.

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Pauses in wriggling to stare up at Spain in a confused manner. ]

What are you talking about? Stupid. You did that just yesterday!

[quixotical]

Well, it just... feels like a long time! A really long time...

( Baw, just going to hold Romano close. ) Are you hungry? Do you want food?

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Yeah, Spain, he's just going to repeat what he called you a minute ago as a verdict to that: ] Stupid.

[ But, oh.

Food.

Have a nod! ]

[quixotical]

Don't be rude. ( What a cute nod, buhyoo. Picking at least Romano up to take him to the kitchen! ) What does Roma want? Churros? Boss can still make churros really good!

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Well he would prefer something with tomatoes, but actually something sweet does sound nice to the greedy little babby... Who's stomach promptly rumbles.

He nods again. ] Hurry up. I'm hungry.

[quixotical]

( Spain chuckles, shaking his head at Romano's grumbly little belly. ) Yes, yes. Do you wanna munch on a tomato while I cook?

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes.

Nod, nod, nod.

BUT. ]

Two tomatoes.

[quixotical]

Two? ( Ah... well, he probably won't to have tiny Roma like this again. ) I guess just this once. ( He sits Romano down at the table, plopping two tomatoes in front of him while he gets started on making those churros. )

[pomodorato.livejournal.com]

[ Oh he is a happy babby. Not that he'll show it much. He doesn't say grazie of course, just immediately starts nomming one of the tomatoes... After trying to eat both at once of course. So greedy. ]

[reanimated]

Glad you're doing well, man.

[quixotical]

I'm doing fantastically!

[reanimated]

Why're they in dresses? Are you secretly a kiddie toucher? No judgment, just asking.

[quixotical]

Huh? Oh, that was typical fashion for a boy their age back then! Actually, that was the fashion until maybe a century or so ago...

And kiddie toucher...?
