*nods warmly*
I see; my only daughter is Pula, the twin sister of my son Čabar. My children are very similar to each other, which is why they get along so well with me, as well as each other. I always have them care for themselves and each other without my constant supervision, for they must become self-disciplined... the way I was raised by Hungary and Austria.
*looks down, tearing up* No, I am an unkind person. I've always been that way, and life has punished me through corruption and a poor way of life. This is the first time anybody has ever complimented me. I am mostly commented on my arrogance, uselessness, stupidity, or something else. Your kindness Vash, is like the light in the never-ending pit of darkness that rests in my heart.
My friend, it is the least I can do in exchange for your kindness and friendship that you have given me; I shall keep it forever close to my heart.
*looks at you* I understand completely. Your words touch my heart, truly. Do not feel rigid about it.
*smirks and retrieves an APS-95 out of a saddle bag* Yes, my friend, bloody hell yes. I won't let Ita-chan slip this time. Justice will be served; in the kitchen, that is.

Do not worry, now things will take a turn for the better. I promised you to reform your state, and I keep my promises. All what has been said and done is now part of the past. We look forward to a bright future, the rise of a new Croatia. And you will be strong, a model nation, you hear me? Others will be craving for your advice. It is my deepest belief that a country shows its true value in potential. Unlike so many states that have failed already, I see great potential in you. Together, we will improve the world, one nation at a time. Once people see how much better you are off now, more countries and regions will join the cause. If my kindness is like a light for you, then the darkness will be driven away.
*stops on a slight rise overlooking a field with Italy running away below*
Your shot my friend... he did break into your house after all. But I would rather prefer it if you did not kill him yet. I do not mind paperwork... but it is not that much of an effective heating material. Just make sure he does not do it again...
