{ Austria I Roderich Edelstein }
Taking a glance over his shoulder, Austria furrowed his brow. 'A month? There's no... She just wasn't... trying hard enough.' He wasn't exactly satisfied with this explanation, but the dog brought him from his thoughts anyway. Flinching lightly, the Austrian flicked his gaze down to the animal and grimaced, fighting the urge to back away. "Ah... Erm, if I vas, I certainly didn't intend to; I'm just a bit distant at the time..." He murmured lamely, though this was somewhat true. He was rather thoroughly lost in thought, but he didn't quite understand why he was trying to be polite towards a dog, and a rude one at that. Oh yes, because he didn't exactly favor the idea of having a limb torn off. The nation mentally snickered at himself and added, "I vill try not to let it happen again, I assure you..."
{ Russia I Ivan Braginski }
Russia tilted his head before nodding slowly. "Okaaay..." He chuckled quietly and rested his pipe against his shoulder, taking a glance around. "I think we are locked in, so... We should be looking for a way out, da?" He mumbled, slowly looking back to Confederacy once again.
