[It's been more than a year, now, since Lithania arrived in Mayfield, and that was something to think about in and of itself. Of more importance, at least to the nation, was that this was Lithuania's second birthday in Mayfield. Just as it had been last year, being so far from his people on his independence day felt incredibly lonesome. If anything, it was worse this year. He has no idea what his people are doing, if they've been affected by his disappearance, if he's really disappeared at all. It makes his birthday far more melancholy than he thinks it should be. It's not as if every moment here has been bad, of course; he's made friends that he wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to meet otherwise, after all. But even if Mayfield really was the ideal 1950s American town, Lithuania wouldn't want to be there. His people need him. They're not here, and he's glad for that because he would never wish an instant of this torment on any of them, but he still misses them terribly.]

[Lithuania is cleaning up the house, as usual. In honor of his birthday he's given himself the day off, but aside from that he's not entirely sure what to do about it when it seems so inherently wrong to be away from his people today.

He does, however, place his flag outside properly--if a bit wistfully.]

It would look better on a proper flag pole... Ah, but they're not really commonplace around here.

[His puppy, recently regained, runs around his legs. He crouches down to pet the animal.]

Maybe next year we'll celebrate at home.

Are you okay, Mr. Lithuania?

Oh, I'm fine.

[Smiling.]

It's always a bit odd celebrating birthdays here, is all.

Yeah... happy birthday though!

Thank you. I don't think I'll get used to celebrating it here, but at least nothing's happening today.

Yeah, it'd be bad if they did... any of the Mayfield stuff, on your birthday.

It happened to me last year, but at least I remembered to celebrate it, so it wasn't too bad. And this time the Valentine's Day flowers disappeared before my birthday. So really, it's an improvement.

Those flowers were really weird.

[Said in the very serious tones of a boy who has not yet discovered girls]

They were, weren't they?

[Little kids, so innocent about those sorts of things most of the time.]

By Mayfield standards that wasn't that bad, though. It's better than the last few months.

[Koharu walks up behind him, looking up at his flag and clutching a package behind her back. She doesn't say anything for a moment, still a bit flustered from yet another valentine's mishap but finally speaks]

H-Happy birthday Lithuania...

[Lithuania smiles at Koharu, though he already looks apologetic.]

Thank you. I'm sorry for how I was behaving a couple days ago. Mayfield...

Oh no, it's alright...We've bad luck with that holiday that's all.

[She holds out her package] ...Since I didn't get to give you anything on Valentines... [It contains a very nice box of chocolates and a smaller wrapped package containing a larger version of his flag carefully stitched together with very sturdy material and thread]

I'm really sorry about that...

[Lithuania takes the box. The flag is of more interest to him than the chocolates, of course, and his smile is much less unhappy than it was a few moments ago.]

Thank you. Really.

You're welcome.I did promise that last year...right?

[She pauses and shakes her head]

Sometime last year. Oh, the puppy is really cute Lithuanaia.

You didn't have to. It means a lot, though.

[Lithuania smiles, and the puppy, recognizing the attention, wags his tail and circles around both of them.]

He was my reward for getting through January.

I'm glad you like it...[Koharu kneels and pets his head, giggling at his enthusiasm] He's adorable. I'm sorry for how I acted by the way. [Noot looking up]

[He makes his way down the street, carrying a large Tupperware box in his hands containing many small pīrāgi. As he sees Lithuania out on the lawn he hesitates but drives forward regardless. Even if he is still anxious about talking with him it's still his birthday. All Latvia needs to do is just give him the container, wish him well and leave]

Lithuania... Uhm, I don't know if you remember or not but today is supposed to be your birthday so I just came to say... well, Happy Birthday I guess. I'm sorry, I didn't remember any Lithuanian recipes.

[Lithuania smiles at Latvia in spite of the awkward delivery; really it's only normal for Latvia, and normal Latvia means Lithuania feels a bit more like today is normal. A little normal, at least.]

Thank you, Latvija. I do remember--I've recovered from before.

[He moves to pat Latvia on the head, because no matter what their odd not-exactly-sibling relationship is Latvia still didn't deserve to be forgotten.]

I'm sorry I didn't remember you.

[Staring up at Lithuania with a small amount of wonder he suddenly yet awkwardly hugs him, holding the container behind him]

I'm sorry if I got angry before! I really didn't mean it!

I'm happy you still remember me though...

I know, that's just how Mayfield is. Usually the things it does aren't quite as awful as that, but they're not really that much better. Did you end up alright after I saw you last?

[Stepping back he shuffles about awkwardly]

I don't really want to talk about it...

[Wincing a bit.]

W-well, it's over now, right?

Yeah...

[Giving an anxious smile it still seems like there's something on his mind]

Still, I made these for you. I hope they're okay.

[He hands Lithuania the container]

Maybe you could re-teach me some Lithuanian cooking sometime. I'm fine if I can follow a recipe but... well, they're really hard to find here.

[Your geeky notbrother is at your door, ringing the bell. Better answer it.]

[Answering it!]

Hello, Estija.

Hey, Leedu, are you busy?
