Sometimes Hong Kong wished he was bigger, older looking, have more bulk in general. Because let's face it, being stuck looking like a ten year old for centuries was not the most pleasant of situations to be stuck in as he could well attest. As such he sometimes felt an urge to grow up a bit more, physically at least.
Like that movie he had seen where the kid had wished to be an adult from some ridiculous carnival toy and had his wish granted. Of course, he knew it was more or less futile to make such a wish on a rusted box with a puppet inside but, one still could feel envy.
The reason for his musing on this particular desire was that he could not play sports with many of the other nations, specifically Canada at the moment. Sure he could skate with the other nation at times and that was all well and good but really it just wasn't the same as playing competitively.
Then again, he thought while he watched expressionlessly as Prussia's face slammed into the plastic divider separating the ice rink from the stands and slowly slid down; playing hockey with Canada would probably go badly whether he was his own height or China's. So, at least he had an excuse not to play.
Mixed blessings he supposed as the buzzer went off in the background signalling a goal.
