Chapter seven

"Are you sure you'll be alright with him?" Norway asked as he got ready to leave for the day. Denmark had volunteered to watch Trollkin, and was now helping the now toddler make a box fort out of the unneeded boxes originally found in the corner. Almost three years had passed since Norway and Trollkin came home, and Norway had finally gotten through all of the work which had piled up and found a nice house to move to with his son. Most of their things were packed and in a couple days he could take the child to see the new home, but before that he needed to go to a visit which would last most of the day.

"Don't worry Nor, I've taken good care of him so far haven't I?" Denmark asked with a large smile.

"Almost all of those times you haven't been alone," Norway replied bluntly before continuing, "I'll be back this evening, just don't ruin those boxes. I still have to pack up the rest of his stuff. You should also either pack or take to your home your stuff too."

Trollkin stared at Norway as his mother said this, only to then carefully get out of the box and place a random stuffed animal into one of the boxes. Norway smiled slightly at this and ruffled his son's hair before he said, "That's a good boy. And when I get back I'll help you pack okay? Then we'll be all set for this weekend. Now be good for Den; don't try eating him again."

With this Norway left the house, causing Trollkin to look to Denmark for something to happen. After a couple seconds of looking at the adult, Trollkin casually picked up the toy from the box, tossed it back into the box, and rushed up to the adult and the other boxes; smiling at the idea of being praised again. Denmark laughed at this and answered, "Yep, with us helping Nor this place will soon be packed. Then you can go to the new house where you can play outside whenever you want. And there won't be any silly neighbors calling you names too."

"You?" Trollkin asked in a sheepish and garbled voice. The child tended to have trouble talking and being understood so he did not talk a lot except to his family, but they were hoping to get him to talk more.

"Yep, I'll be coming too. Can't let you two have all the fun right? Now, let's finish this fort so we can show Norge when he comes home," Denmark laughed, smiling more as the child nodded and rushed to grab another box.


"Thanks for the books, are you sure you don't want to keep them?" England asked as he and Norway walked out of the meeting room.

"That's okay, they were extras anyways. I have been looking through all of my old things and figured you would like it anyways," Norway answered.

"It's not exactly spring cleaning time," England joked as he looked the books over while he walked.

"Been packing to move actually. Nothing like moving to realize how much stuff you still have," Norway commented casually.

"Ah, yes, Sealand mentioned that at some point…among other things," England replied. During the last several years, England would every so often hear from the micronation stories about a strange green child living with Norway. He had been intrigued by these stories, and the fact that since he returned from wherever he was almost no one had been to the Nordic's house, but until now England had not had the proper chance to talk about it.

"Is that so," Norway commented, not skipping a step.

"Yes…and with how everything has been happening since you came back I just wanted to make sure you're alright," England continued.

"Funny time to pick now to ask," Norway replied.

"You know that I already apologized and you accepted it by trying to pound my face in. I just want to know if something happening because of it. You did leave before we could see about any possible side effects," England reasoned.

"That's right…" Norway began, only to then slap England upside the head.

"What was that for?" England asked indignantly.

"I still get angry when I remember that you started all of this. However…I would be lying if I said I never got anything out of it," Norway answered softly.

"Never got anything out of… so then is that creature I've heard about real? And then!" England began to ask, only to pause as he placed the pieces together. Norway continued to walk down the hall as England stood, shocked by what he just discovered. At last England continued, "I'm so sorry Norway, why didn't you tell anyone what happened?"

"In case you forgot, you already know that he's not normal from Sealand. If too many people learn about him it could be bad for him. The last thing anyone needs is for the world to know about him or worse," Norway answered protectively.

The two of them continued to walk in silence at this point for several minutes. After some time England sighed and asked, "So then, what is this creature like?"

"A normal child mostly, albeit a bit larger, hairier, and greener than most children his age," Norway answered.

"I see. Even so, I've never heard of a magical creature and one of us having a child together. I would like to see him at some point. There's no saying what could be learned from him," England said.

"I don't like the idea of what I think you mean," Norway commented, giving England a glare which sent shivers down the Englishman's spine.

"I don't mean anything bad, just that it might be interesting to meet him," England began, only to frown when he saw Norway sigh and say, "It's getting late and I still need to finish packing some rooms. I'll see you again at the next meeting."

"Y-yes, of course. And if you need anything-."

"-I know. Goodbye, England, I'll see you soon," Norway cutted in before waving goodbye and heading towards the door.


"Mama!" Trollkin called as Norway entered the house. The child then continued to hug him as Norway affectionately ruffled the child's hair. He then sighed when he walked into the living room to find a large fort out of the boxes; Denmark sitting in the center.

"Hey Norge, welcome back! How was your day?" Denmark asked as Norway walked into the room and took a box off the top of one of the towers.

"Hello Denmark, I see you two were busy. I'm taking my boxes back now," Norway carelessly said while taking the box into Trollkin's room to finish packing. Trollkin followed him into the room, smiling as he watched his mother pack up the toys from the floor, only to then frown and rush up to the box when he noticed all of his old toys were no longer out where he could play with them. He looked anxiously at Norway and the box which was placed just too high for him to get into.

"Don't worry, their only packed up for a little while. In a couple of days you can play with all of your toys in your new room," Norway said comfortably to the child. Trollkin did not smile at the idea of no toys for a while, but he did not get in the way of Norway's taping the box shut.

"Now, did Den give you dinner yet?" Norway asked after taping the box. He smiled slightly as Trollkin blankly shook his head before he followed Norway to the kitchen to watch him make dinner for the three of them.
