Forward dated to tomorrow morning~

Who: Canada and France
Where: New Bark Town
When: October 25, morning
Summary: France comes back to New Bark to get Canada. Canada is very excited to see his papa.
Rating: I suspect G. FAMILY LOVE.
Log:
New Bark Town really wasn't too bad, Canada had decided. It was small and quiet, just like the trading posts he stayed at so often at home, but it was much cleaner and better taken care of. The people here were fairly friendly, if very odd(why did they keep saying the same thing over and over again?). It was odd that he couldn't find his usual connection with neither his native people nor his colonists, but it settled into the background before too long. The food wasn't as good as France-papa's, but it was edible and he wasn't really one to complain.

The best part was probably Sedna. Although people had insisted that she wasn't the spirit he had originally assumed she was, he remained convinced that she was his beloved goddess of marine life. It had been a long time since he'd last seen her, so it was no surprise that she'd picked a new form, right? The Seel followed him everywhere, shared food with him, and swam in the water at the edge of town while he watched.

In fact, that was what they were doing now. Canada had settled a few feet away from the edge to watch Sedna splash around in the water. He was spending the nights with the professor, but he liked to be out and about during the day- otherwise, he felt a little bit in the way, and that just wasn't polite. Plus, this was around when France-papa was supposed to arrive! If he was outside, perhaps he could spot him early and meet up with him. The idea that France might go to the Professor's house looking for him hadn't quite occurred to the little colony.

France had left Cherrygrove literally running, completely ignoring any sort of danger that might come his way. Canada--his precious, baby New France--had somehow been brought into this Hell, and France would be damned (further) if he left the innocent boy alone. No one was going to take Canada from him this time; no one. France would not allow it.

The ledges he jumped off of would have bothered him in other circumstances, but he didn't care right now. Keeping an eye on Marianne who was more than happy to bound along beside him, France kept running, heading pell-mell ahead until he got to New Bark Town.

"Canada!"

The boy was sitting next to the water on the east side of town, presumably watching his pokemon splash about happily in the water. France hurried over, pushing his hair out of his face as he dropped down to the ground next to the boy, throwing his arms open happily.

"Canada, France is here!"

France caught Canada before lifting the boy up and swinging him around at arms length. God, the boy was so tiny and light!

He brought Canada into a tight hug, snuggling the child against his chest and leaning down to place kisses on the soft crown of Canada's head.

"I missed you, too, Canada."

He swallows, cuddling the boy close and looking up at the sky. It is difficult not to cry, smiling so wide and heart almost exploding in happiness. After all this time...

"God. How I missed you."

[ooc: omg I want a baby Canada of my own *A*]

France had always, always adored children. Having a child of his own was one of the things in life that had ever made him truly happy, and the periods when he was allowed time to raise Canada or Seychelles or any of his other colonies had always been far too short. That he had this chance...

France absentmindedly begins to rock back and forth, his right arm coming about to cradle Canada comfortably and his left hand drawing idle circles on the boy's tiny shoulder. Humming softly, he smiles down at the child, eyes softened and lips upturned into a sincerely happy smile.

"We will be together for as long as we are in this world together because I am going to protect you. I promise."

France tightens his hold on Canada, part of his heart filled with happiness that the boy would be so happy to stay with him and the other part breaking that this could have never happened back in their reality.

"Yes," he murmurs, kissing the crown of Canada's head again and blinking back tears, "I am staying."

He doesn't notice Sedna, but Marianne does. The Vulpix, who had been a little miffled that her France wasn't playing his usual amount of fawning attention to her sidles up to catch the Seel's attention, sitting down and fluffing her tail out behind her, clearly attempting to show that France belonged to her.

"Vul vulpix!"

France is more than willing to accept this; it's one of the very few good things to happen to him so far.

"I'm so happy you would want to spend so much time with me," he murmurs gently, snuggling Canada. "I always love spending time with you."

Marianne turns her snout up at first before exclaiming in indignant surprise at Sedna's cold nose.

"Vulpix!"

In all honesty, if France had had his way, he would have taken care of Canada like a real father, although, perhaps, a rather too doting and lenient one. But Canada had always been such a good boy, and discipline had never really been necessary.

He pets Canada's hair gently, kissing the boy on both cheeks. "I love you, too," he murmurs gently before hugging the boy close.

Marianne lets out another indignant sound, taking a step back and clearly appearing to say she did not appreciate being nudged. Her tails whip about in agitation as she glares at the Seel.

America would have probably been subjected to a very strict Catholic upbringing. It would have stifled the poor boy. With Canada, France didn't have to worry about his precious little one running mad; Canada was a bit wild, but he had such a wonderful disposition.

"I missed you, too," France whispers.

Oh, God, how he'd missed him... Perhaps all was not lost after all. He rocked Canada slightly, smiling widely.

"How are you feeling? Are you hungry or thirsty or sleepy?"

Marianne preens, showing off to Sedna with a huff. Obviously, she wishes to assert that she is top Pokemon here.

France pets gently at Canada's hair, smoothing it carefully away from the boy's forehead and making it a bit more even. Oh, the boy was so precious...

"Hm... Unfortunately, I don't believe that I can borrow anyone's kitchen around here," France murmurs, inwardly rather peeved at that. "There also isn't a market in this town for some reason. I suppose we will just have to make do with some foraging for now. Come along."

He began to move them off towards Route 29, ready to get out of the entranceway to Hell.

Marianne gives Sedna an expression that clearly conveys are you mocking me?. Yeah, probably not.

Hah hah hah hah that's what friends are for!

France frowns, tilting his head slightly to the side. "I actually am not entirely sure how the trade system here works. No one will tell me."

Laughing, he bounces Canada in his arms, cuddling the boy close. "Then we will have a berry salad with some nuts I have in my bag. It's healthy, but it'll be very tasty, I promise."

Marianne makes to protest the nudge but also notices that France and the boy are going off somewhere. How dare they go away without her! She bounds off after them with a sharp Pix!
