[It's a beautiful day at 456 Stone Street. Birds are chirping, puppies are yapping, and one brunette nation is sticking closely to the window, phone piece firmly held in one hand.]

I've been relocated. Again. While this looks like a more cheerful occupation and this is the happier I've seen the Eastern Bloc be in a while, I'd really appreciate the prior notice.

Although it's been a while since I've worn a dress.

[She reached out to clutch the afforded hand in a firm grip.]

Hungary. They've been telling me I was here before.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was told that when I first arrived, myself! It appears that when you've been here before and go home, you can sometimes lose all your memories of this place.

Let's suppose this is a good thing, in this case.

[grabs a framed wedding picture off the counter.]

Although this looks to be rather interesting.

[Hughes sat down and melted into a sad little heap on the table.]

Aaaaah, I'm sorry to say, I have a beautiful wife and daughter! Having different wives like this is starting to put a strain on me.

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

You poor dear! You must be missing them terribly. It's really cruel not being able to see your loved ones.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

Yeaaah, I miss them so much it hurts! Look~!

[And he pulls out a picture, showing her. Yes, it's the icon, and my baby and darling wife are so beautiful, no?!]

This is Elicia and Gracia! Aren't they just angels?! Aaaah, I miss them so much~

[small chiiiiiiild!]

She looks absolutely precious! And your wife is so pretty! You really are a lucky man.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

Aaaah, aren't I?! I wish I was with them right now~! I'd give my other hand to see their smiling faces...

Being away from your loved ones is the cruelest thi--

[noticing for the first time]

...

...What happened to your hand

[Hughes smiles sympathetically.]

Unfortunately, Mayfield is a very dangerous place; things like this certainly aren't shocking anymore... A few weeks prior, we were in a communist-run town, and I lost my hand as a punishment.

[presses her hand to her forehead]

A communist-run... I should have expected that. What a cruel joke.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad you weren't there to experience it, ma'am. It wasn't fun, let me tell you.

[He laughed weakly--it's true, the experience left him completely fatigued. It felt like when he'd returned from Ishbal; he lost a little weight, slept a little less...

Communism sucks.]

[She just had to deal with the aftermath of a disastrous revolution, so she sympathizes, a bit.]

I think breakfast would do both of us a world of good, right? Maybe a cup of coffee to settle you in. We may not be a real family, but there's no reason for us not to be friends.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, of course~! I would love to have some breakfast you with, Miss Hungary. My drone wife has been trying to feed me pancakes every morning for months now.
