[800s- 1100s] really out-of-it flowerchild
[1200s] really uncertain warrior
[1300-1400s] no bullshit warrior
[1500s] big headedness begins
[1500s-1600s] it dies with all of the crappy neighbors threatening him
[1600s-1700s] introversion begins with poland
[1700s-1900s] it cements with russia
[1900s-1991] harsh, nagging, no bullshit but still gentle kind of guy
[1991-present day] dedicated, way-too-wary flowerchild

That’s your name, isn’t it?

saldatneuri:

Have some historical Belarus art, because gdi there doesn’t seem to be nearly enough anywhere. A rough draft of her wearing her medieval armor, which I’ll hopefully be able to polish and color fairly soon. I imagine she was probably quite a fierce lady in battle, which is part of why I find it such a shame that Hima didn’t bother to include her in any of the Commonwealth strips (not even a mention in the flashback to Grunwald, which was fought on her land!). Oh well, you can have this instead, if it’s any consolation?

I take it you slept well, little one?

Really well. Thank you for your hospitality! [gathers the covers around his face and snuggles them]
Did you sleep okay too, Natasha? It was so warm. Were you warm too?

Of course. *She moves to sit next to him on the bed, placing a hand on his head.* I did, and tak, I was warm. How are you feeling this morning?

How I…feel? [thinks a moment, not typically asked that unless he became bedridden and one of the wise women came to tend to him; his eyes suddenly widen and he gasps]

Oh, I need to go find breakfast before the birds get to it! [wriggles out from underneath the blankets, still in his night clothes] I will get you some too, Natasha. Okay?

He- *She places a gentle hand on his shoulder, holding him back before he runs off.* Hold on, there’s no need to run off. I was planning to make extra for you when I went to make my breakfast. You don’t need to rush out and try to scavenge something. Now, again. Are you feeling well? You weren’t in the best shape when you came to me yesterday; I hope some rest and a bath made a difference?

He was easily stilled but looked up at her in confusion.
“Oh.”
Once again he found himself surprised—did she have a store of food somewhere, then? His people had only recently been experimenting with that and many times they failed because of weather or wild animals. Of course, this house seemed like it would protect both of those things, but..
“Okay then.” he thought once more, trying to give her his best answer.
“I feel…” brows knit together in contemplation, “…happy!” he obviously had no idea that sleep and hygiene had any impact on your health. The only reason he took baths was so he could be clean for the gods, but that was about it.
He wiggled his toes, marveling at how shiny they were after the bath.
“You feel okay too, Natasha? I asked Father Moon to look over you while you slept, but he can be very busy sometimes.”

I will sleep now, like you want. Please show me what I am supposed to do here. These people…they frighten me. I want to go home. I miss chief. I miss Romula. I miss Mama. But I will be strong, as is expected. I will be strong for you.

Sun, 03 Jun 2012 01:37:00 -0400

But Sunshine, Sunshine. [he tugs on his sleeve, urgently] You are the people, at least…I think so. [he sits back down, contemplative. He was a relatively new incarnation and didn’t quite understand it yet]
Maybe you know better. You’re bigger, and…[he wiped at his eyes, trying to be like what Alfred said. Leaders couldn’t cry; suddenly he understood what he’d been told, and made a silent vow to himself as Alfred began talking of things he didn’t completely understand]
Okay. I won’t cry either, for our people. [ this was said moreso under his breath; he took hold of Alfred’s index finger and squeezed lightly]
Not…really? I don’t understand.

…but don’t talk if it hurts okay? [he didn’t like feeling powerless, but knew that to be the condition of humanity. It was something you made peace with, and did what you could to compensate for.]

I am my people but I am a leader too. My president looks to me as an adviser, if I have so much as a cough there is something wrong with my nation. He would be suspect if I were to cry. And I can’t explain that I was getting to close to another nation, he wouldn’t be happy with me.

Our place in the world is a hopeless one. We are the sacrificial lamb of our peoples. Fated to pay for their sins. But never die for them. -Alfred pulled the little boy close to him to embrace.-

I’m so sorry you were born as one of us. I’m so sorry. But I want you to learn this with me, not through personal experience.

[that seemed to strike a chord with him; Taurys purses his lips, eyes dimming]
And what if he coughs? It isn’t fair at all. I’ve seen chief cry. When his daughter died. When the crops were destroyed, or when my people began getting sick. I was hurting too but I, we, can’t cry?

[goes kind of limp in the embrace as the words more or less disturb him. Forest green dialates and lips part with images of horses being slaughtered and put upon alters for the dead, pigs screaming in anguish, but only for moments until silenced, so that the people might have a safe journey to the afterlife. Taurys steels himself then]

…I will learn. And I will be strong, like you.

If anyone needs me I you can find me down by the lake. But if it isn’t really important. Please leave me the hell alone. Okay?

…
Sunshine.
[he doesn’t say anything else, just sitting next to him and being really quiet. He isn’t sure what’s happened, but the atmostphere with this person has changed so much that it worries him.]

Taurys…hey there. -He doesn’t lift his head but he inclines it a bit to the side, looking to his knobby knees.-

How’d you find me here? I thought I was being sneaky. -A weak attempt at humor, he can’t even bring himself to laugh at his his gut feels like a black hole. Sucking in all light and sound and leaving him exhausted.-

[he sits on his knees so he can reach up and tuck some hair out of Alfred’s face]
Gabija said you needed help, so I wanted to help you. [sneezes as he’s a little bit cold; but the lake is beautiful and the weather seems clear tonight…aside from this]

…chief always said that crying is weak and you should never do it. But chief isn’t here, so if you want to cry you can. [looks up, towards the sky] What he doesn’t understand is that crying is like rain. It cleans the rivers, and life is reborn. [gets up a little higher, patting his face and back] You’ll be reborn too, Sunshine. Okay?

I can’t do that. The offer is very sweet but I can’t. -Alfred leans into the soft touch, little fingers gently guiding the hair from in front of his eyes. And he raised his hand to dwarf the child’s. Holding gently to the skin, surprisingly calloused for one so little. Before Alfred remembered he was a nation. Like him.-

Your chief says it’s weak. And in the common people it is not. But in leaders it can’t be done. We are the ones that must out last every other person’s faith and hope. I lead the free world. What would my followers think if they saw me cry?
-Alfred will raise his head, straightening his back to stare at the boy. His face a perfect, empty slate.-

I will stay strong. I mean why should I care so much? We weren’t even dating. Not really.

But Sunshine, Sunshine. [he tugs on his sleeve, urgently] You are the people, at least…I think so. [he sits back down, contemplative. He was a relatively new incarnation and didn’t quite understand it yet]
Maybe you know better. You’re bigger, and…[he wiped at his eyes, trying to be like what Alfred said. Leaders couldn’t cry; suddenly he understood what he’d been told, and made a silent vow to himself as Alfred began talking of things he didn’t completely understand]
