I ran into Seychelles today in a supermarket. It was wonderful to see her again, it has been such a long time since I have had anything to do with that side of my family, it was rather refreshing. We retreated to a nearby cafe and were in the process of talking when she received a call. She excused herself and took it, but not long after I noticed she had finished and wasn't moving. I went out to see what was wrong and noticed she was crying. I didn't know what to do, I tried to help but I fear I am very bad at it. I'm good at many things, but I've never comforted someone when they needed it most. Afterwards she thanked me, and gave me a kiss. I was not expecting that. I know that it is customary for French to kiss one another casually, but I am an Asian man, I've no experience with such a thing. It was, nice.
I hope she will do it agai
It would be nice to see her again soon, but I doubt she will want to. I will invite her out some time soon none the less. It is the right thing to do, just to make sure she is recovering, and is feeling much better.
The problem seems to be France. I've never had a high opinion of the man - I was once England's - but he seems to be hurting her without even trying. The way she clings to him and waits for his approval is endearing, but it will only hurt her when he forgets how faithful she is to him. Its something I'll never quite understand, how she loves him so. I care for England, yes, but I've never been anything more then a useful tool for him, and he has never been more than a neglectful guardian at best. I have memories of China loving me and caring for me when I was very young, before I even knew of England's existence, but the China of today is not the same man. Perhaps that person never really existed at all.
I have divulged to long, I wish Seychelles the best, and hope to see her again soon. I will also visit England in the near future, there are things he has not been telling me of and I am rather hurt to be kept out of family business. I will see if I can loosen his lips. If Prussia is abusing them half as much as Seychelles implies, then it shouldn't be to difficult.
