had knocked on his door and since he had not recieved an answer decided that it wouldn't hurt to check on the Italian. "Feliciano?"

perks up at the voice, having not heard it in a while. Quickly he turns around and open the door, only to tackle Germany in a hug, as always

of course. "Ludwig! Why are you here for?~"

caught off guard but manages to give the Italian an awkward hug back. He flushes at his question. "I hadn't seen you in a while...so I

figured it was time to come check up on you and see how you're doing."

himself is just happy to see Germany now, grinning he lets go and does a happy little twirl. "Ve, I;m okay! Me and Lovino just got a new

puppy! What about you? Work?"

's face lights up in curiousity at the mention of a puppy. "Ja, work...what kind of puppy did you two get?"

smiles widely and whips out a photo out of seemingly nowhere.

"Isn't she cute?~"

isn't too shocked by the randomness of the photo. He glances at it. "She's very cute. What did you name her?"

nothing of the fact he carries around pictures of his shared dog now. "Ah well, Lovino named her Maddy, I don't really know why, weird huh?"

humming, he turns back to the paintings on the walls. "I think it's a nice name though."

nods, it was a bit odd. "What did you want to name her?"

this for a moment. "I don't really know, I would have gone for something more traditional though, or something like that. Ve, maybe you'd

like to walk her some day, with me of course! If fratello lets me of course." Ah, Romano, he was much nicer these days, so that was good.

would love too. Perhaps he could help train the puppy too. "Ja, I could even bring Berlitz, Aster and Blackie."

perks up again at the mention. "Could you really?~" Really, Feliciano was just elated to be spending time with Ludwig. That and his love of

dogs.

nods. "They would love the freshair and walk and I'm sure they could teach your puppy a thing or two." He glances at the wall of

artwork. Some of these paintings were ancient...probably from the renaissance.

nods. "She is really, ah, hard to teach, but she's still really cute!~" Now that he looked more, most of these paintings were from the

Renaissance, these paintings were some of the only things he'd kept from that period.

like the dog is just missing a bit of discipline. "Well, if you need help feel free to ask." He really likes the paintings. "Did you paint

these Italy?"

a slight nod. "I'll let you know." Now, about those paintings... "Ve, I think I might have painted these, well, some I did for sure, and

some I saved that where around Austria's house...

smiles. "They're really nice." He always appreciated art...he even tried his hand at it a few times. He wasn't the best but he really liked

that Italy was very good at it.

very happy to see Germany smiling. "You never told me, did you use to paint? I could always teach you if you want!"

shakes his head. "I've tried it but never got past basics." He admits. "I'm a horrible artist...I'm sure it would be impossible to teach

me."

to disagree. "Come on Ludwig! It's not that hard really! Just a little practice right ve?" Plus, painting wasn't work, so it was fun too.

sighs. "If you insists...but I warned you...I'm really not that good."

laughs a little. "I fyou really don't want to, we can save the lesson for later! I kind of want to go outside now actually."

would rather go outside. "That's a good idea."

grins, and promptly drags Germany to the backyard, only stopping when he reaches the patio.

follows, well, he really didn't have much of a choice. "What are you planning?" He asks curiously.
