Summary: England plans on going on a quest to find a gem, since he is a pirate. Prussia invites himself along. They can't stay away from each other, apparently, even though they are enemies. 8I



True to his own determination, England had decided to take on a quest in hopes of raising some money to have his own apartment. It was not that he disliked his roommates, but they were both girls. Besides, England preferred to live alone. Living in such close quarters with two girls made him uncomfortable.

Of course, there were other reasons why he wanted to get his own place, but he felt that he'd keep those a secret. Even he was disappointed in himself for those reasons.

In any case, he was signed up to find a gem in the gnome district. It was part of some wedding ritual, but the best part was that he would get a gem of his own, and he wanted it, regardless of how much it was worth. He could not escape his pirate lust for treasure, so having a gemstone would make him feel happy. He wondered where he would hoard it...

England began his journey to the Gnomish District. He had to go quite a ways, through the upper class neighborhood. That would be alright. He could scope out the area, see if he could find any of the government officials to talk to. He was pretty excited about this quest. He hoped it went smoothly. Now that his injuries were pretty much healed, he didn't think he'd have too much of a problem.

Ah, delicious treasure!

He takes the hint and happily walks forward into the cavern, finally coming to a stop once he's certain England has plenty of room to exit behind him. Prussia is standing at the base of a particularly tall crystal that slants gently up towards the ceiling. His inner adventurer with bad ideas wants to climb that crystal until he gets up to the top, then find another place to climb until he can reach the hole in the ceiling, but thankfully the voice of reason wins out for once.

Well, that, and he doesn't want England to pitch a fit. Nor does he plan on falling and breaking his neck any time soon.

So instead Prussia turns to face the island, grinning widely. "This is so awesome!"

[blitzkriegd]

England's response is a tired grin of his own. Perhaps he would come back here once he regained his strength. He wanted to collect this treasure more than anything, but he had no energy. So all he wanted to do was finish this quest and go get something to eat.

"Yeah... We have the pick of the litter." He finally gets outside and takes in the whole scene. Beautiful!

[garantundkraft]

"Okay, so. You pick a stone for this Harrygold guy and I'm gonna go get a pick-axe." He's hungry too, so the sooner they can get out of here and get the gem delivered the happier he will be. Especially since Prussia knows exactly who will be carrying it the entire way.

The blond country nods and then ambles along to look for gems that are only a little bit bigger than his foot. Once he finds one, he stands beside it to wait for Prussia. If only England could have this for himself. Though, he planned on returning as soon as he could.

[garantundkraft]

He returns as swiftly as he can with the pick-axe. As soon as he spots England, he makes his way over, peering at the gem once he gets over there. "Ooooh, nice one. I like it." Yes, he will definitely be coming back here at some point.

As soon as England moves out of the way, Prussia will set to work freeing the gem from the ground. No sense wasting time, after all.

[blitzkriegd]

And England will just watch. You know, to make sure Prussia was doing things right. Not that he wanted to watch Prussia do hard labor. He leans against the wall of the cave and allows his gaze to drift from the albino-colored country to the rest of the cave. Two of his favorite things in one spot... Yes, he certainly feels like a pirate right now.

"We... probably shouldn't tell anyone we found this place," he finally says greedily.

[garantundkraft]

"Oh fuck no. If you'd even considered that I woulda had to shoot you." The sentence is nowhere near as cohesive as it's been written out to be, punctuated every few syllables with gasps and deep breaths. Of course he's doing this right. He's too awesome to do it wrong!

[blitzkriegd]

Hehe. A man after England's own heart. He just grins in response and combs back his bangs. Several minutes pass and England's starting to feel a little better. Certainly not one hundred per cent, but having the little break helped him relax. It looked as though Prussia was almost finished and then they could leave.

[garantundkraft]

He finally pries the gem from the ground, and it's easily big enough to be worth the reward. Excellent. Prussia hides a yawn as he hefts the stone, carrying it close to his chest. Oh aren't you just the most precious thing~ He wants to take you home and polish you up but good, except he can't. Which is just sad.

"Alright, how the fuck do we get outta here? Before I go crazy and start talking to the jewels, bitte."

[blitzkriegd]

There wasn't anything wrong with talking to the jewels! England would have done that. In fact, the next time he came down here, if he was alone, he was going to speak to all of them. Or, at least, the really big ones.

Just seeing Prussia holding a big gem made him happy. He has to turn away to hide the somewhat lecherous grin that split his face. "Come on, I'll lead."

They exit the hidden room and then move across the other room to get to the tunnel they came down. England turned on his miner's hat again, and set a glowing bauble in front of Prussia so that he didn't have to worry about where he stepped. At last they were outside. England took in a deep breath of the fresh air.
