"Are you listening to me?" Hans glared at me as always.
Truthfully, yes I was listening. I had liked to learned about stratigy and planning. I honestly liked most of my lessons, execpted piano and violin.
Hans sighed after I didn't answer and continuted on with the lesson. He hardly ever tells me so but I had over heard him saying many times that I was a fast learner and was doing well in all my studies, even piano and violin.
After we finished lessons I went back to my room and started to write another letter to Ludwig. I sent him one almost everyday, though I don't get a letter from him nearly as often.
I wrote about my lessons, and about the prank I had played this morning, and how that meant I didn't get breakfast. I would normally add a few memories about before the battle to see if I triggered memories, thought they normally don't he still thanks me.
I heard a knock at me door. It was Hans. His suit reminded me of my twin, and his longish blond hair pulled back in a ribbion. I was growing my hair out so that I could do the same but it wasn't long enough yet.
"You have a letter Gilbert." He held it out to me. I took it and he left. We rarely talked about anything besided my lessons though he had been happy to help me with my research about how to restore Ludwig.
I lyed down on my bed and started to read Luddy's letter out loud, like I always did, and tried to mimic his vocie.
"Brother, how I am related to you is beyond me. You torture the people in that house. How could you switch the salt and sugar? Well I will put that aside for now. Germania is teaching me about battles in the german tribes. It is pretty intresting though I am sure you have already learned about them. And because I know you are dying to find out, no I have not met Italy yet. You ask me every letter if I had met him but I haven't. I am sendimg you a gift that I found. I would keep it but Germania won't let me. I hope you like it. Sinserly your brother, Ludwig." I smiled.
I did ask him every letter if he had met italy, but what he failed to comment on was the question that always follows, did he still have the stick from the broom, and by not answering I knew it was a yes. He also didn't comment on my many, many worst pranks besides swiching the salt and sugar. But I was excited about this gift he was sending me so didn't put any of this in the letter I sent him.
The next week or so I did the same thing pretty much everyday except the letter from my favorite person. I finally got the gift he sent.
"Gilbird!" My old pet bird was in the cage. I lost him around the time I left Germania's house. I guess he didn't know where i had gone. I guess Luddy found him and germania told him who gilbird was. If anything I loved my brother more for sending him back to me.
