She says she's no good with words but I'm worse. Barely stuttered out "A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue. Weighed down with words too over-dramatic-- Tonight it's "it can't get much worse" Vs. "no one should ever feel like.." I'm two quarters and a heart down, and I don't want to forget how your voice sounds-- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tino managed a slight nod and he let out a shallow laugh, "Y-yeah..." He managed, swallowing the lump that formed in his throat for no apparent reason. "b-but if there is something please come back! I don't want you getting hurt..." He whispered. He would feel completely guilty if such a thing did happen ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These words are all I have so I'll write them, so you need them just to get by. Dance, Dance, we're falling apart to half time. Dance, Dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead. Dance, this is the way they'd love, if they knew how misery loved me. You always fold just before you're found out, drink up its last call, last resort, but only the first mistake, and I...

Akita giggled and patted his head. "Don't worry." She yawned a bit again and walked outside of the cave. She stood up on her back legs and looking around.

Now the dark begins to rise, save your breath it's far from over. Leave the lost and dead behind, nows your chance to run for cover! I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder. Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 'I don't want to hear it.' That's what he had said, Ludwig vaugely remembered as he walked, vaugely through how clouded his mind currently was. That always was his response when Feliciano had one of his 'ideas'. His ideas never seemed to turn out well in the end, he thought bitterly. Well, at least not on his part. Feliciano had the strangest views on what was fun and what was not. He acted cute, though, anyone would have to admit. He was the better of the Italy brothers, even though it wasn't a far stretch. At least Feliciano was kind, Ludwig thought. And he did like to hear him laugh. It was a soft, happy tone, that was so nice to meet his ears that were so used to hearing the screams and sounds of fighting. And recently, the sound of defeat. He sighed at the annoying thought. He glanced back down at Feliciano, who had currently managed to nestle himself in his arms and relax. His eyes were closed, but Ludwig doubted he was actually asleep. He examined the blood running down his arm once again. It had stopped bleeding a long while ago, but the gash reopened from being picked up and carried over ruff teran. That was his fault too, wasn't it? Ludwig shook away the thoughts, not wanting to think about such things, though it was really his fault. Feliciano was his only friend. Well, only true friend. he had allies, not friends. But Feliciano was a persistant one, though he didn't know why Feliciano wanted to be his friend. Not that he was complaining or anything, but still. He sighed at the thought before he looked away from the younger male, contuning walking over the rocky grounds.
Ludwig stepped over a large rock, carfull to keep his current cargo still as he did so, bringing a new scene to his eyes. More mountian, of course. He sighed and glanced around vaugely, the light of the slowly creeping sun starting to highlight the features of the area. They must have been out here all night, considering the sun was beggining to creep over the horizion. Ludwig sighed, the thought making him even more tired than what he already was as he looked around. He continued walking forward, his eyes scanning the area. That was, untill he spotted the highlighted figure of another. In the dim light, he couldn'tm ake out features, only the form of another meerkay standing up on their hind legs and looking around. He assumed it was a female by the form, but he wasn't sure, because he knew plenty of males with a thin, female like form, Feliciano being one of those examples. Anyway, this figure wasn't too far away, considering he had been stupidly walking in it's direction. Now, considering Ludwig was a fight first, ask questions later, non-trusting kind of person, he immediatly let a deep growl rumble from his chest. Which, to his dismay, alerated the male in his arms to the waking world, Feliciano looking around in confusion, and later his usual fear. Ludwig quickly shushed the younger male before he resumed his attempt at a threatening stance. He may be tired, but if he must he'd fight. He had himself and Feliciano to worry about right now, expecially Feliciano. He wouldn't risk anything... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All is lost again... but I'm not giving in! I will not bow, I will not break, I will shut the world away. I will not fall, I will not fade, I will take your breath away. And I'll survive, paranoid, I have lost the will to change. And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake, I will shut the world away... I will not!

Akita flinched a bit and dropped back onto all four feet. She glanced down at the two males and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mh, someone's not happy.. Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Now the dark begins to rise, save your breath it's far from over. Leave the lost and dead behind, nows your chance to run for cover! I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder. Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It was that slight, though noticable flinch that caused the edge of his lips to twitch up in a smirk for a brief second. That small sign was enough for him to make him think he had the right away, that this person, who ever it was, he didn't have to worry about her much. And it was a her, he decided, by the tone of her voice when she spoke. Though he felt a pestering in the back of his mind that he's heard this voice once before, somewhere. But he shook it away, misplacing it for him being paranoid. She asked his name, and why he was there, typrical things. Though he wasn't the kind of person to ask, or answer, questions, Germany stepped one foot back from his agressive pose so he stood straight, and carfully set the male he held on the ground, murrmering quietly to him, "It's fine, Feliciano... Just let me handle this." He whispered in his ear. He noticed the younger male's tears, the inevitable tears that always happened when he was the least bit scared. It seeed to happen so often. It was unsettling. He sighed and assured him again, "Don't worry.... don't cry, Feli, it really isn't a big deal." He persisted in calming the otehr, even stooping to calling him by his nickname, Feli.
He then retreted back away from thecurrently bloody younger, who now sat on the ground, one paw wrapped around his abdomen as if it would stop the upset feeling in his stomach. Ludwig turned back to the female who was questioning them, giving her his usual cold look. Some of Feliciano's blood stained his chest, arms, and stomach, giving him a bit of an errie look, considering his pelt color was originally a light blonde. Eventually he spoke, "My name is Ludwig Wellishmidt." He said in his normal, proud tone, trying to hide the tired ache in his tone, doing so quiet well. It was still to dark for him to see who the other female was, so he just continued, " We're just passing through. I'd prefer to avoid a fight over this..." He said stifly, taking a step back towards Feliciano. for two reasons. One, to get a bit away from the female in an attempt to show her that he ment no harm unless she made the first move. And second, to get closer to Feliciano, to speak on behalf of both of them so she knew he was here as well, and just incase there was another unknown meerkat hiding around here somewhere, he didn't want him going after Feliciano. He could barley defend himself even when he's in perfect health, not to mention how he was now. Ludwig kept his ice blue eyes trained on the female before him, squinting slightly to try and make out more of the female's features in the steadily brightening light of dawn. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All is lost again... but I'm not giving in! I will not bow, I will not break, I will shut the world away. I will not fall, I will not fade, I will take your breath away. And I'll survive, paranoid, I have lost the will to change. And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake, I will shut the world away... I will not!

Akita nodded a bit. She walked towards him and cocked her head a bit. "Hmm.. your name sounds familiar..." She giggled. "You one of those kats with those weird nicknames that seem to love hanging around here?"

Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What was she going on about? Ludwig could only wonder, really, he wasn't sure what this female was going on about, but the fact that she was closer to them was a little disconcerting, since he didn't know if she was really a threat yet or not. Odd nicknames? Did she mean- ah. Possibly. Eventually he muttered, "Fine... my second known name is ich bin Dutchland." He said, as if it should be obvious. He had to admit the country nicknames were the oddest things. It was, as expected, Feliciano's original idea. Of course... And speaking of, Feliciano chose then to cut in. "That's Germany!" He spoke out with a giggle, though he flinched a bit by the sudden movment he had when doing so, though he still laughed. In annoyance, Ludwig snapped, "Italia! Stop moving!" He demanded gruffly, not wanting him to end up jsut hurting himself more. Italy kept laughing and shook his head a bit, "C-can't help it! This is funny~Ve" He laughed. Ludwig gave him a slightly confused look and muttered, "W-why?" "Ve~ Because you don't recognize her!" "Her? Her who?" Germany repeated, sending a glance back at the female who stood near them. He thought she seemed familiar but, the dim light was still too hard to see in... But how did Feliciano know who it was? Well, he always was good with noticing others... weitehr they wanted to be noticed or not. "Ve,ve, Akita! It's me, pathetic lil' Italy, so you don't need to worry about us being a threat!" Feliciano continued, his arm once again wrapped around his abdomen as he smiled up at her from where he sat on the ground. Well, he wasn't a threat, he knew tht Ludwig on the other hand could be, but he was always aware that he wouldn't do anything if he told him not to. So it was good. Right? Well, at least the sun was coming up now, the light lighting up their features. Now he could see Akita clearly, though he didn't need to see her to know it was her. Though she seemed to be tired, maybe she just woke up? He didn't know, but at least now in the light they could see each other.

Akita giggled. "Oh, hey." She looked back at Germany and laughed a bit. "You have a scary growl, you know that?"

Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ludwig sighed slightly in annoyance. Well this was great, he thought sarcasticly. He really didn't have time to be chatting, he thought bitterly. Well, at least it wasn't someone they didn't know out to pick a fight. That was good, at the very least. At Akita's comment he laughed hollowly and said, "I don't suppose that's a complement. Sorry, I didn't know it was you." He said, allowing his eyes to close, and for a moment enjoying the thought of a brief break from carrying Feliciano. Not that he was heavy or anything, but carrying anything for a prolonged period of time for so long got tiring. "I've just been on edge recently, sorry to cause a bother." He continued after a moment looking back at her.

Akita shook her head. "No problem." She glanced at Italy, then back at Germany and smiled a bit. "You guys can stay for awhile if you want."

He trailed off and lowered his head, letting his shoulders stoop slightly. He would usually try so hard to keep a stoic, strong apperance, but right now he couldn't care less. And in turn, allowed himself to look as tired and stressed as he really was at this moment. He muttered in defeat, "Alright... that's... very helpful... Thank you." He admited, however much he hated admiting his weaknesses,

Akita smiled and nodded. "Good." She turned around and started walking back towards the cave. "C'mon, in here."

Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ludwig nodded slightly in response to her words, watching her for a brief moment as she walked away. He was glad for the thought of rest, and he was glad that she was willnig to let them stay in their mobs form of shelter, so he would have time to take care of Feliciano. Feliciano was a big cry bab,y but whenever he was badly hurt he never made a big deal out of it, and tried to cover it up, as to not worry others. Though Germany wasn't stupid, it was plainly obvious that Feliciano would get worse before he got better. Infection would probably cause a brief sickness, though nothing to terrible. though his main concerns were blood loss and infection at this point. With a sigh he walked over to said male and carfully picked him up again, bridal-style. Feliciano crossed his arms over his face and laughed quietly, "This is nice, right Doitsu? We get to see old friends again..." He said. That seemed to be what he always thought about. "... Your friends, not mine." Ludwig replied bluntly, before walking after Akita following her into the cave that they stayed in.

Akita walked back into the cave and layed down. "Found out what the blood was." She mumbled, tired again.

Now the dark begins to rise, save your breath it's far from over. Leave the lost and dead behind, nows your chance to run for cover! I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder. Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to no where. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ludwig walked in after Akita as heh eard her speak to another who he assumed must be in the cave about the prospect of blood. That other, he noticed, was a small dirty-blonde male who was curled up against a larger, sleeping blonde male. He recognized them easily, of course. The smaller, Tino, spoke with a slight laugh, "I-I see that..." He stuttered, trying to decide if the bloodied male before him was better or worse than if the blood had been from that creepy beast. He never did like Germany much... he was scary sometimes. But, he eventually decided it wasn't all to bad. He noticed the brown bundle he held, the smaller male covered in dripping blood down one arm that hung out of the others grasp and across his back. He recognized him too. "A-ah! Feliciano, you're alive." He pointed out, dumbly he might add. Though instead of getting a response from Feliciano, Germany replied for him. "He is, though no better, I might add." He said stifly. "But it isn't a problem... there won't be any more fighting." He said in a tired, yet matter-of-factly tone. "O-oh... well that's good." Tino replied. He was glad for the lack of fighting now, he might say. He hated fighting, really...
Ludwig glanced over at akita for a moment, noticing her tiried stance. "I see you're tired. Sorry if we woke you." Said he, "It would be best if you went back to sleep, then. I'll take care of Feliciano, and I'll be sure to be quiet." He added, also glancing at Tino as if to give him the same message, said blonde male complying and laying down next to Sweden, who he seemed so attached to all the time, to sleep as well. Germany then carfully set Feliciano on the ground, he sitting down as he did so, though he held the younger in a sort of hug for a moment. Doing so seemed to be the only thing to keep him calm, however odd it was. Though the feeling of the warm liquid spreeding across his back sickened Ludwig, and he soon released Feliciano, letting him lay down on his back. Not that he hadnt felt blood before, oh no, he knew a lot of blood. But it was just strange since it was Feliciano's blood. Red was not a color he liked to see flowing down his skin. Expecially since it was his fault. One simple, quick blow to the artey that strailed along the under arm and to the heart. That was the only wound inflicted on Feliciano's body, one Germany had given to countless others. But there was one diffrence between Feliciano and the countless others he had killed with the same blow. Feliciano was still quite young. For a younger male, when said artery is cut the heart will stop blood slow to that area, limiting the blood loss, though it's still much. For an older male, they'll just keep bleeding. Why this is he didn't know, but it was true. And he was glad for that, because if he did kill Italy, well... he didn't really know why he'd do with himself then. "Ve~.... I'm tired, Doitsu." Feliciano spoke, adding a yawn in just to prove it. "Well... then go to sleep. It will do you good." He responded simply, not really knowing what else to say on the matter. Though luckily, for once, Feliciano easily complied, seeming happy to let himself fall asleep. Germany sighed and sat back for a moment, just waiting.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All is lost again... but I'm not giving in! I will not bow, I will not break, I will shut the world away. I will not fall, I will not fade, I will take your breath away. And I'll survive, paranoid, I have lost the will to change. And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake, I will shut the world away... I will not!
