Lili noticed that the rest of the meeting went by rather smoothly. The only issue was a silver haired man tried to sneak into the meeting and was promptly thrown out. England had explained to Lili that it was Prussia, a former nation who regularly tried to sneak in.

Arthur seemed to have the most work to do. When other nations were giving reports, some countries would write parts down, and some wouldn't bother. However, Arthur wrote everything down.

"England, why are you writing everything down?" At his confused expression, she clarified. "The other nations don't write everything down."

"Oh, that's because not everything includes then, I on the other hand, have treaties or alliances with a lot of the nations."

The meeting closed for break around noon, the countries were to be back by one. An hour for lunch, how nice. Lili smiled, but sighed in relief, her legs were starting to fall asleep. No wonder a country like Greece refused to be awake during the meetings. Lili was wondering where Arthur would take them for lunch, then she remembered. She had a brother. A brother who came to the meeting, who probably wanted to eat lunch together.

Lili tapped the Englishman next to her. He looked up from his paperwork he was finishing.

"Yes Lili? Oh dear, is it lunch already? Don't worry, we'll leave in a minute."

"Actually England, my brother probably wants to eat lunch together, but I think I can persuade him to-"

"Liechtenstein, are you ready to go?" The said brother was suddenly in front of the two. Arthur looked up again, and visibly paled.

"Oh, hello, Switzerland." Vash narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, yes, can I get my sister now?"

"Well, you see-"

"Bruder, Mr. England was going to show me around London for lunch, is that alright?" Liechtenstein could feel England's panicked stare at her, and she ignored it, instead fixing her sight on her older brother, who's face changed into a red blush.

"Nonsense, I can lead you around London, you don't need him."

"But Bruder, I would love to to have you show me around, but Mr. England knows London like the back of his hand, it is his country after all. And I don't think I would be making trips to England very often, I might as well see it now. Please Switzy, could I go?" For effect, Lili added in her famous puppy eyes, and lifted her voice a bit at the end. She had a feeling Vash would relent, he had difficulty refusing her. She could see the turmoil in his eyes, "And you don't have to come with us, you could stay and finish polishing that really big gun you couldn't during the flight!"

If what she hadn't said before hadn't sealed the deal, the next one definitely did. "Alright then, you can go." Lili let out a girlish squeal and hugged Vash, enjoying the deeper blush that invaded his face. "And you, Britain, I want my sister back before lunch ends, or you will know the true meaning of pain!" Arthur gulped and nodded.

"Well then, shall we go Miss. Liechtenstein?" Lili nodded and looped her arm through his. Arthur looked tense, and his body was tensed, she gave him points for not showing fear against Vash, as a lot of countries did. However, he seemed to be visibly aware of Switzerland's stare on their retreating backs.

It wasn't until they had both left the building that he seemed to breathe and relax. "Are you okay Arthur?" Lili looked at him in concern.

"Yes, I just completely forgot about your brother."

She nodded, "Where are we going to lunch? You didn't tell me."

He then smiled for the first time since the beginning of the meeting. "Ah, that's because it was a surprise, don't worry however, it's a very nice and quaint little cafe. I think you'll like it."

Immediately, thoughts about the terrible British food entered her head. Ever since she could remember, people laminated on about how terrible, and bland, and tasteless England's food seemed to be. Her stomach then gave a small lurch. What if the food was as terrible as everyone said? "Oh really, that's nice! I know we'll have fun!"

Arthur wasn't lying, when they had arrived to the cafe, she was surprised at the cleanliness of it. It was almost if Germany or her brother had cleaned the cafe before arriving. The whole cafe was decorated in light browns, grays, and soft yellow, giving the whole area a cozy feeling. The tables were quaint and small, with nice metal chairs with cushy seats. What really interested Lili, was the aroma of the place. She smelt tea and pastries. It smelt, like home.

Arthur observed Liechtenstein. The young principality looked around in wonder. He had purposely picked this Cafe, because of her. He had a feeling if he took her to one of the pubs he frequented, she would run away in horror. England wasn't deaf however, he was very aware of how people viewed his food. They called it bland and tasteless, but no one had bothered to try his desserts. Pastries and little desserts were his shining star, scones were not one of them, but cakes, he had a hand for that.

Arthur ushered the young country to a table. He smiled at her, she reminded him of a young America, always bringing smiles to his face, in ways he hadn't smiled before. She was charming and sweet, very polite as well. No, he didn't view her as he viewed America. America had been his little, baby brother, and the companionship he felt around Liechtenstein couldn't not be pinpointed as a simple familiar feeling. He wasn't sure what it was, but he felt more than just family.

Looking at her wondrous eyes, and her beautiful face, he could see why Switzerland hided her so. She looked so delicate, so breakable, as if she would shatter with a single push. But underneath that, he knew she was more. A young nation, yet older than America, she had a strong determination, yet she wasn't obvious about it. Such a small country had stood up to the dangerous, giant force that was Russia. He had heard the stories just as well as others. Yet, Switzerland protected her. In a way, he felt like she needed protection.

"Liechtenstein-"

"You can call me Lili, you know that? That's what you called me before knowing I was a country."

"Yes, but-"

"Don't view this as two countries meeting, we aren't discussing diplomatic solutions. We are simply two friends catching up for lunch. You don't have to be so nervous about this. Everything will be okay." She gave him a gleaming smile, and Arthur felt as if was going to melt. Her smile was sincere and radiant.

"Alright then, Lili. How have you been?"

"Oh, I've been wonderful. I recently made a new friend, he's quite wonderful, though a bit grumpy." She smiled at him teasingly.

"Really? Who is this 'wonderful but grumpy bloke'? I hope he's treating you well." Lili smiled again, he had caught on.

"He treats me very nicely, however, we don't know much about each other."

"I would hope he treats you well, otherwise I'd have to defend your honor. I have a feeling he would like to get to know you as well."

"Well, why don't we-" Lili stopped and looked out the window. It was Switzerland, and Canada. Canada looked very nervous. Vash whispered something to Canada, and he shakily nodded. Lili narrowed her eyes slightly, Canada had enters the Cafe and was looking around the small store. He was looking for something.

"Liechtenstein, are you alright?"

"Shh, My brother sent Canada in to spy on us, do you know a way we can leave without getting noticed?"

"Yes, there's an exit by the kitchen, wait, why do we need an-" Liechtenstein didn't allow England to answer or even think of an answer, she stood up, dragging England with her, pulled on his hand, and made race for the back of the restaurant. As they were leaving, England sent one last look back to their table, it seemed like Canada had went back to Switzerland and reported that the two had left.

Lili pulled the two back into an alcove, and looked over the side. Vash had entered the building and looked furious for having them leave, he was glaring at a frightened Canada. She swirled around, and nearly gasped at how close Arthur's face was to hers. She let out a small nervous giggle.

"Can I ask why we're running away from your trigger-happy brother?" Lili looked up at England, he looked pale, as if he expected Switzerland to just pop out of nowhere and shoot him.

:Oh, Switzy won't shoot you! He doesn't know we're running away, it's like playing hide and seek, but he doesn't know it. He'll just think that we leave too fast, or Canada is too slow. I think it's a bit exciting. Do you want to give me a small tour?"

Arthur knew he should refuse, but looking into Lili's eyes stirred something in him. He felt whatever fear rescinding away. "Yes, I think the tour is a very nice idea, now keep in mind that England is large compared to youer country, so we might not get to see everything."

Switzerland grumbled under his breath. That stupid Britain guy had gotten away, with Liechtenstein! Damn it, he wished he could shot the slow Canadian, but Liechtenstein didn't like when he shot people. He wouldn't have to shoot anyone if they could all just stay out of his country! He wished he had brought his peace prize, them he could hit them over the head without endangering his neutrality.

There! He swore he saw a flash of blonde with a ribbon. sure enough, it was Liechtenstein ,and she was holding on to England. They looked as if they were having a grand time. Her face was flushed with laughter. Switzerland relaxed, he knew Lili was innocent and wouldn't do anything risky.

He however, tensed once again when he saw Britain. His face was also flushed, but with something else, it was not all that innocent looking! Switzerland felt his gun twitch towards the small handgun he kept on his side belt. He hesitated, this was Liechtenstein, she was a good little sister, who kept the other stupid countries away from her land. He wouldn't shoot the stupid, sinful Britain just yet. He probably wasn't aware he was doing anything.

He would settle with watching. Just until he knew they were out of the gray areas and into the clear.
