Alfred paused just as he was leaving the meeting room with the rest of the crowd, turning on his heel to shout back into the room. "Hey, Yao, can I talk with you for a minute?"

"I'm not loaning you more money!" Yao instantly shot back.

The familiar banter had the last Nations straggling out chuckling between themselves over how some things just never changed. Matthew was one of them, though he was stopped short when Al grabbed his arm, grinning despite the fact that his twin could probably see the stress behind his expression.

"Hey, Mattie, can ya wait for me for a bit? I just need to talk to Yao about this thing really fast."

Matthew smiled and nodded. "Sure, but don't take too long," The Canadian paused for a second, a question on the tip of his tongue, before he shook his head minutely and left the room, leaving only a few Nations as he shut the meeting room doors and turned back to them.

"So, what's got you so worked up you needed a private meeting?" Tino asked from his seat on the table. "You seemed pretty determined to have all of us here."

Alfred sighed, trying to decide exactly what to say, eventually settling on the simplest answer. "Mattie knows about me."

There were no cries of shock or screaming about betrayal - they were all far too old to make accusations before knowing the reasons behind someone's actions.

"How?" Yao asked first, scales almost brimming under his skin.

Alfred grimaced, rubbing at his arm. "Wendigo came south, attacked us when we were out hiking. I couldn't get him away before it tried to go for him, so I had to fight it off while Nanuq carried him back to the house. He saw enough to know something was going on though, so… I showed him."

"And you didn't try to come to one of us to cover up for you first?" Feliks asked, frowning. "I could've totally blamed it on Ivan or something, since it's an ice creature and all that."

"He'd still want to know how I knew how to fight it, though, especially since I've worked so hard to make everyone believe I don't know anything about magic or the supernatural." The American sighed again, rubbing at his neck. "I also just didn't wanna lie, ya know? I spent a long time thinking about getting you guys to help but - I couldn't go through with it. He's still my brother, and I figured if anyone would be able to handle knowing, it'd be him."

Yao continued to watch him patiently. "Did you tell him about us?"

"No!" Alfred quickly answered. "No way, he thinks I'm the only one like this, and I'm not planning on correcting that unless you guys decide to say something."

"Thank the spirits," Feliks muttered, slumping a bit in his seat. "Not that I thought you would, but, well."

"I get it, it's cool. We really can't be too careful these days," Alfred shrugs. "Other than that, I'm still looking into what brought that wendigo south and whether I'll have to spend time scaring them away again, but otherwise that's all I have to say."

Tino stood up, approaching the younger Nation and resting a hand on his shoulder. "I hope you know what you're doing by telling him the truth."

Alfred slowly nods, mouth set in a thin line. "I hope so too."

AN: More stuff for the thunderbird AU. This one features the other 'Awake' spirits of the past, Yao (aka the Yellow Emperor, who ascended to Heaven and became a dragon after his rule, specifically the Yellow Dragon of the Center), Feliks (The firebird of Slavic mythology, whose feathers had mystic properties), and Tino (Väinämöinen, the grandson of the Sky God of Finnish folklore).

I'd also planned on adding in Seychelles, but there really wasn't much in the way of mythology from that region that I could pin down with any accuracy without doing a LOT more research than I wanted to with a drabble so yeah. Sorry Chelles. :C

(All the Nations were something supernatural, its just that they dont remember their past lives for the most part. There are four/five exceptions, all of which escaped the memory loss through their own tricks (like Alfred dying as a human instead of his true form, Tino pretending to be Finland all along, etc.) Technically they sometimes show traits of their past life but a lot of the time it's buried so yeah)
