[Here's a girl with a notebook and a really upset expression. She keeps trying to draw and having no luck with it. Eventually, she throws her pencil across the room and huffs.]

[knightime]

[He picks up the pencil and walks back over to her, quickly scribbling some text onto the top of the page she had it opened to.]

'Jegus, what did this pencil ever do to you? How would you feel about being thrown across a room???'

[He places the pencil next to her and seems intent on leaving just as quickly.]

[duchy]

[The problem, when you're still little, is that most everything else is designed for people taller than you. Now, the worst of these situations is when something is just barely out of reach. Then it becomes a matter of pride to reach it without, say, using a chair.

That's why Lithuania is attempting to stretch enough to grow the few inches his arms need to reach that jar on the counter top.]

[drawsdeath]

[Becca knows this struggle well; she'd seen...seen...her brother...do the same thing countless times over. She went over to the counter and started trying to find things to do, and casually knocked the jar just a little bit closer to the edge 'by accident'.]

[duchy]

[Lithuania, with a bit more stretching, reaches the jar in its new position, pulling it down off the shelf and immediately reaching in. He's not even entirely sure what's inside, just that whatever it is, he's earned it.

It turns out to be a cookie jar, which is a fairly good result for the effort as far as he's concerned. He sits down on the floor to start eating.]

[drawsdeath]

Could I have one of your cookies?

[Hey, they actually look pretty good.]

[duchy]

[Looking up at her and trying to decide if she's really asking or if she means she is going to take it anyway.

It's a country thing.

But eventually he offers one to her.]

I've never had these before.

[drawsdeath]

[She takes the cookie and gives him a smile in return.]

Are they good?

[duchy]

Mmhmm. [He nods to emphasize.]

Maybe not a lot of them, though.

[shootingforpeace]

[Koharu watches him, hiding her smile. He was so determined]

Do you need some help? Or would you rather get it yourself?

[duchy]

[Lithuania looks over at the girl uncertainly.]

I can do it.

[It's part wariness and part stubbornness.]

[shootingforpeace]

[Koharu stands back and waits patiently]

If you're sure, dear. I won't hold it over if you need help.

[duchy]

[Now that he's being observed, Lithuania absolutely has to get the jar. He jumps, knocking the jar farther from the edge.

Oops.]

[shootingforpeace]

You know, there's never harm in recognizing you need help. It makes you stronger, to have allies in your pursuit of jars.

[Latvia is sitting at the breakfast table and pokes his food timidly, hoping to see someone that he knows. At this point even Russia would be a welcome sight, because with him, the little nation would at least have a vague idea of what to expect.]

[drawsdeath]

[Sadly, it isn't someone he knows that sits down opposite him. Becca gives him an awkward smile, though, not sure what to say to him.]

Hey. You okay?

[shakes]

Y-yes.

[He nods quickly.]

A...re you new here, too?

[drawsdeath]

Yeah, I just got here. What's your name?

[shakes]

Latvia. [The fork in his hand clatters against his glass and he drops it, pulling both hands under the table.]

Wh...at is your name?

[drawsdeath]

It's Becca. I'm not scary, I promise.

[duchy]

[Padding through the cafeteria looking at all the food with a mixture of awe and confusion at the variety.

He doesn't think to look at Latvia. He hardly sees Latvia, and Latvia's smaller than him besides.]

[shakes]

[But that looks like Lithuania. Latvia jumps to his feet and rounds the table, walking over quickly to the child.]

L-Lithu- [.................what. SMALL. He can actually look down at this person.]

[duchy]

[Lithuania can't help but be automatically a bit wary at someone walking over to him so quickly. And apparently they know his name! He's not sure if that's good or bad.]

Yes?

[shakes]

Wh... [He swallows and goes down on one knee (though really the difference in height is not that great).] Why are you this small?

[duchy]

[Backing up a little bit.]

What do you mean? Who are you?

[Again he's reminded of Latvia, although he hasn't seen Latvia in a while.]
