Remember, i have help with this!

After receiving that letter Angic had prepared to meet these new countries. It was a new experience indeed... Being able to see and meet those he's never known. Who knows what secrets will be uncovered. What lies will be revealed. Well it's not important now, just getting to the meeting. Angic of course brought his two children, Domono and Angieana. The son looking down upon the waters from the boat they went upon. The daughter however fiddled with the dress she was given, "papa why a dress...? It's always too cold to wear..." Mumbled Angie, holding a small group of flowers. Angic sighed as he looked down at his daughter and knelt down. "Im sorry, but there was nothing else formal enough for a meeting with unknown countries" he explained. His daughter being the child she is gave a little grumpy face as she crossed her arms. The empire sighed as he looked down at his daughter. "Fine, I'll play dress up with you when we go home" he said. His daughter smiling a bit, "and a teaparty too"

He smiled and nodded, "Ok ok. Dress-up AND a teaparty" he said with a soft chuckle. Within the hours of sailing and looking at the waters and sky's they made it to shore. Angic picked up his son and daughter and followed the people waiting for their arrival. People in the streets starred at the empire, talking amongst themselves as they looked at the strange new country. He was probably the biggest they've seen as well, the empire standing at a tall 9'10. His long hair maybe? Or was it the six wings upon his back. Who knew. But one things for sure, he was quite the curious being to the people. Angieana whilst in his father's arms waved to other kids in the crowds with her bright smile. Some waved back only to the stopped by parental figures which only confused the girl more. Why were they being shunned for waving..? Well she'd have to think of it later since currently they were entering a building.

It felt cold. Like you shouldn't even be here. But it didn't matter now. Angic just knelt down a bit and went through the doors, looking about the halls. Paintings lined the walls of the black wallpaper, intricate designs behind the black abyss. The paintings on the other hand had none other than German Empire with his two sons, Weimar Republic and Third Reich. Where the mother was nobody quite knew. One things for sure though, this house wasn't the most welcoming. As angic walked about the halls he was guided to a room where some countries sat at a long table. They were talking amongst each other as they awaited the empire, before one looked at him and started to alert the others. The whispers grew silent. Only the eyes of the countries looked upon the empire.

"So." A voice spoke up, thick with Russian. "You're real." Angic was a bit alerted by the sudden voice, replying quickly. "Yes, i am quite real as you can see. I hope you don't mind me bringing my children...they're just a bit curious..." He answered with a small uneased chuckle. "Ah, no worries. Me and Russian empire brought our children as well." Said a voice with german laced in. It was a bit of a relief to Angic as the two spoke up. He looked around and found a empty chair, it was bit small...but it fit. "So what did we need to talk about? Anything i need to know about?" He asked nervously. "No No. Nothing at all." Russian empire said. A Young lad stood beside the old Russian. He wore a black tux, polished shoes and his fathers red tie. Folding a crimson paper in his hands, folding one side down and another down its other side, eventually he made an Black Swan. The boy held it up to his father, only in front of his chest as he whispered, “Bird.”
The older Russian took his child’s origami into his own hands, fiddling around with it, feeling it’s smooth texture. “Oh, pretty!” He grabbed young Soviet’s ushanka off, brushing his fingers through the boys hair, “and stop wearing the ushanka for awhile, I had your hair gelled.” The Empire sighed, placing the hat down onto his lap, laying the paper swan upon the top. “When I was new to the world, I completely understand how you feel. You must find it rather difficult to pick up a proper conversation with other countries. Each country has its own way of things, not to mention their beliefs and manners.” He nodded, “You have very beautiful children as well.”

"Oh! Well thank you. It was Russian Empire right?" He said as he looked towards the other. He of course put his two children down on the ground and made sure they were ok. "Can they play while we talk? Maybe our children can get along" Angic asked as her daughter and son played a bit. "Oh, well why not. It would be nice to have Soviet with other children." The Young Russian was listening to every word, slowly approaching the other children, taking their hands and shaking, however he only bowed to the girl. As he bent over, the little Russian gave out a low, “Hello..”

The Russian Empire smiled, “They’re getting along already.” He noticed his son approach the girl first, then giving out a small chuckle. Domono of course accepted accepted the handshake, though angieana perked her head up as soviet bowed. "There's no need to bow, I'm a country just like you!" she said to the other, seeming confused in a way. "I'm angieana, want a flower?" She asked as she took a flower from her hand and held it out to him. Domono on the other hand stayed silent and stared at the other child- aka soviet. Though lets go back to angic, "well- it seems so- and thats good..." he said with a sigh a bit. "You're actually one of the few who aren't intimidated by me so far- which im glad of- i can actually talk to you-" 

The Russian Empire nodded. “Indeed. They’re just wondering who you are, you mustn’t worry about anything. After all, you popped out of nowhere and here you are!” He said, raising his cup up, “and I say, cheers to the new empire.” Meanwhile Young Soviet shook his head slightly, gently taking a flower out of Angieanas hand and examining it, using his two fingers to softly stroke its petals and smell it. He bent the stem, tucking it into his pocket upon his chest. "ah...you do make a good point. And thank you...you don't have to congratulate me. I've been a empire for quite some while..." he said with a slight chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck. He leaned a bit on the side where he had his cane, hissing a bit in pain as he quickly stood back up straight. "and I've seen others be quite...ehm. concerned about ehat my land holds. Since I've heard that one time people with magic here were...how do i say it...killed. so I'm worried for what others might think of my people" angic said to the other with a sigh.  "Can the children play outside the room..? I really don't want my children to learn such things so early..." Angieana meanwhile smiled at soviet, "do you like it? I picked them to give to new people i meet" she said to the Russian. He nodded, though once hearing Angic he took the girls hands into his own, sweeping her out of the room with him, and looking back to her brother, pointing his other finger. Russian Empire spoke once more, ”It is better that way if they do, but since they are not mine. I understand.” Though the man switched legs, lifting his right leg onto his left leg. “I see my son took a shine on your daughter.” He rose a brow,

“How peculiar..”
