[Lithuania had been forced to make a run in the sudden rain to the nearest building that didn't look like it was falling apart, and so had ended up in the library with Leafeon close on her heels. There were worse places to spend a storm, she supposed, once you got over the strange selection of books and ignored the books on sex in favor of the poetry collections.

She moved a large chair near to a window and is sitting there. There's a large pile of books beside the chair within easy reach, but she's ignoring those in favor of staring out the window at the rain. There's a half-finished Emily Dickinson collection on her lap.

Leafeon, for the record, is perched on the back of the armchair like a cat.]

It's lasting a long time, for a storm.

It is a bit more normal than one type of weather all the time. It seems to have ruined almost all the buildings, though.

Yes...it's a pity, but we can rebuild, and I saved the more important things that would have been devastating to lose for me. This is why storms shouldn't be pent up like I imagine the Queen has done.

Do you think it works like that? It would explain how long it's lasting, if it's more than one.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

It's certainly a possibility.

...By the way, I don't think I've seen you around yet. I'm Grell.

I'm Lithuania. I've been here for a few months now, but I'm afraid I haven't done much socializing.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Lithuania...are you one of the women who is also a country, or do you just have a unique name?

[rueandwolf.livejournal.com]

I am a country, yes. I don't like having been away for so long.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about that.

[She's not looking at Lithuania when she says it, though. She's fine with her life here...but really. Why weren't the discontent let go already?]

It's hardly your fault. [Lithuania smiles a bit.] This place has at least given me a glimpse into my future, and there are a few things I plan on changing when I return.
