TWANG! THUNK! "Kesesesese! The awesome me shot another one!" Gilbert did a tiny dance of victory. Elijah cocked an eyebrow and gave The Look.
"So what Gil? It's one more rabbit. Yes, I know how awesome it is that you shot it through the eye and we should get a good price at market." Gilbert huffed, then grinned as he swung up on his horse. "I can't believe I might possibly see Birdie again. She's pretty...and really nice. One might even say awesome." The albino gave Elijah a (rare) serious look. "She didn't even notice my skin." Elijah nodded. "Sounds lovely. But really, we should get going."
Gilbert nodded, and they were off, Elijah checking his traps as they went. They were wandering, but this time with a destination in mind: the capital city.

"Ve~ Buon Giorno Princess Rebecca! Isn't it pretty outside?" Rebecca couldn't help but smile. Feliciano might be air-headed, but he always made her smile. He was her best friend within the castle walls. The Italian furrowed his brow and tilted his head. "What is it, Principessa? You seem quieter than usual." Rebecca gave a small sigh.
"Well...it's just that I've never really been outside the castle. And I heard Madeline and Tina gossiping about the Harvest Festival coming up soon, and I'd think I'd like to go." Feliciano became thoughtful in a slightly devious way. He gave a look that was very frightening on his innocent face.
"I have a plan, Princess. But we must go somewhere where no one might be listening..." He pulled the princess in the general direction of the fountain.
BREAK
Rebecca slowly turned in a circle. The dress was no comparison to her expensive gowns, but it resembled your average villager quite well. The purple color had a common beauty to it. Feliciano nodded slowly. "You don't look common. You're far too pretty. But it shall do, for it is night time. I heard Ludwig the baker will be there." The Italian man giggled sweetly.
Rebecca breathed out and tied the strings of Feliciano's gold-coloured mask. As he tied hers, she felt something like fear settle in her chest. Feliciano looked at her. "I blackmailed the guards just in case. We'll be fine. You wouldn't believe what one little secret would do to a person.."
BREAK
Elijah inhaled the scent of pumpkins and cinnamon deeply. The harvest moon watched the festivities below. Gilbert's red eyes glowed with something mischievous. "It seems we made it in time for the Harvest Festival. Do you know what this means?" He asked, turning towards Elijah.
The brunette shook his head slowly. "Two words. Free. Beer. And Food..." Elijah frowned and fingered his frying pan absentmindedly. "That's four words. So I set up all those traps for nothing?" Gilbert shook his head. "We can sell them! So we might have a few extra coins on our persons for once." "Fair enough."
BREAK
Rebecca was awash in noise and light. She had never known there were so many PEOPLE in the village. She smelled thousands of different things she had never smelled before. She fiddled with her small leather pouch that held a few coins. Suddenly a pair of grimy hands slipped over her mouth.
The princess instinctively kicked back, but the man was very strong. His hand slipped downwards "Eh, a pretty one she is," he smirked.
Elijah's green eyes were roaming the crowd when he saw the girl struggling against her captor. "Let go of her!" He ran over and hit him over the head with that trusty frying pan. "I'm so sick of you lowlifes. Don't touch her. Or my hunting partner and I will string you up by your fat thumbs and leave you there. Understood?" Elijah could look quite menacing when he wanted to, Gilbert thought. The man nodded weakly. Elijah shoved the man aside and knelt beside Rebecca, who seemed to have fainted.
BREAK
"Are you alright?" Rebecca's purple eyes fluttered open to soft candlelight. Where am I? "You're at an inn, Miss." Did I say that out loud? "Yes, you did." The girl sighed. Then she sat up and stifled a shriek. "S-Sir?" Elijah looked over from a chair. "Hm?" "Please- what time is it?" Elijah took out a very old pocket watch. "Oh, about 3 o'clock in the morning, I'd say."
"I have to get home. My father is...very strict about these things." Not to mention he didn't even know she was gone...or that she would probably be put in solitary...
"I apologize for not introducing myself. I'm Elijah." Rebecca blinked distractedly and looked at him. "I'm Rebecca."
Wow. I never meant for it to be this long! It just sort of was there. Apologies for the lack of funny. I thought it was fun making Italy Austria's sassy gay friend. Let me know if it works. By the way, I heard that Mangary's human name is Daniel. Elijah just seemed to work better for me. Sorry. I do actually know where this is going...sort of. Yeah. Reviewers get magical cookies and a shirtless nation, flames are used to make PASTAAAAAH! I don't own anything. If I did... there would be a lot more yaoi. And PruCan. Omnomnomnom. -KM
