[One hundred and sixty six. One hundred and sixty seven. One hundred and sixty eight. The rhythmic tip-tap of shoes against the cobbled floor barely echoed among the noise of the courtyard of birds--sometimes students, too--overhead, and those calling to one another. Germany's rope slapped against the floor occasionally as she skipped for the past hour. Her uniform was abandoned not far, discarded after-hours for ease of practice.

Her back was starting to ache, however. She'd never felt the strain of her figure before arriving her. Now her back ached liberally with exerted effort. If anything was an incentive to get out of here and where she belonged, getting rid of back ache was a good one as any.]

One hundred and seventy. One hundred and seventy one. [She muttered to herself, resisting the urge to wipe her damp fringe off her forehead. Perhaps she could get two hours out of this before figuring out what to do about food for the evening.

The thought was just about distracting her from those who stared as she exercised.]

[The upside of this is that it isn't Ottoman, that would have been even more awkward. The downside is that it is a middle power, and one more with the wrong sex (and most likely gender).

Kiwi will just linger on the spot a bit, unsurel if to approach the other nation or turn and walk away before the woman spots the teenager in the shadow of the wall.]

[ooc: Me and England-mun agreed that NZ looks the same in Hetalia and Nyotalia, so Germany wouldn't notice that it isn't "her" NZ unless their worlds come up in the conversation.]

[Germany punctuated the end of the bout with a decisive thud against the cobbled stone floor and an exasperated sigh. She had been able to block most of the attention out, brief as it was, but several people just stayed there more than what could be comfortable.]

Can I help you-- Oh...

I wouldn't have expected you to be here.

Really?

[On the other hand, who says that Germany is even from a time when the middle powers exist... Sure, there isn't that many options because the other nation is so young, but that doesn't tell Kiwi if the woman is from the past or future or really the war. Maybe the blond will give it away on her own without asking, so waiting for a bit while trying to not get on certain topics might be helpful.]

With how many nations there are here, I'd be more surprised to not meet everyone eventually.

Did they honestly decide to hoard the lot of us here away from actual work? There is a war going on. [not for everyone, not that Germany knows that yet.]

So you are intending to carry the war over to this place, despite being clearly outnumbered?

[Well, the dream just HAD to turn bad at some point, right? By the logic of everything, Italy, Turkey, Prussia, Austria and everyone else will show up the next moment. Just great.

The brunet's frame clearly tenses at the mention of the war and while the dominion's stance doesn't grow agressive, the nation is clearly alert now.]

Absolutely not. It's a nonsensical notion to carry grudges over to a place with no advantages whatsoever.

Good.

[The dominion's stance relaxes ever so slightly.] ...You arrived alone, right?
