Switzerland woke up still feeling groggy, but a bit more alert than when he had gone to bed. He lazily rolled over to check his clock and nearly jumped out of bed when he saw the blinking lights tell him it was nearly 2:00. However, rather than spryly jumping out of bed, Switzerland sat up slowly, wincing at the dull ache that encompassed his body, and dragged himself out of bed.
After Switzerland had showered again he entered the kitchen and found a dish of Älplermagronen keeping warm in the oven, along with a note from Liechtenstein saying she had just gone out, and would be back by two-thirty if he was awake.
Switzerland spooned some of the pasta dish into a bowl, then settled down at the table to read the paper that had been left on the table and eat lunch.
Switzerland jumped when he heard the lock click in the front door, and reached for his gun, lowering it again when Liechtenstein walked past the kitchen. 'Oh, big brother! You're awake.' Liechtenstein stopped and entered the kitchen. 'Are you feeling any better?'
'Yes, much better, thank you.' He moved his hand away from the gun. 'Where did you go?'
'Oh! When I was talking to your boss this morning he told me there wasn’t much that needed to be done, but asked me if I would be able to pick up some papers that you need to sign off on. I didn't look at them but I don't think they're that important.'
Switzerland nodded. He knew the papers she was talking about; they weren’t important at all. 'You can just leave them in my study.'
Liechtenstein nodded and left Switzerland alone to finish his lunch. When she returned he was standing at the sink washing his dishes.
‘Big brother?’ She cautiously went up to stand beside him. ‘Are you sure you're alright?'
'As I have assured you again and again, Liechtenstein, I am quite fine.' He forced himself to loosen his grip on the sponge. 'I just fell. My head's feeling better already.'
'O-okay. A- I think I might go outside and water the garden.' Liechtenstein then ran off, leaving Switzerland feeling slightly ashamed, but he wasn't too sure what for.
He sighed and set down the sponge. It would be of no use to take his anger out on Liechtenstein, no matter how much her constant talking irritated him. He should probably get a start on that paperwork; maybe that would help to calm him down.
The paperwork did absolutely nothing to help. He sighed and rested his head in his hands, unable to focus on the reports he had already written. Maybe he should go outside and spend more time with Liechtenstein. He hadn't been a very good host during this visit, plus he needed to borrow her phone to cancel his mobile number and phone plan.
He made his way into the garden, where Liechtenstein had finished watering and was now reading in the sunlight. 'Hello, Liechtenstein.'
'Good afternoon, big brother... I'm sorry if I upset you earlier.'
'No, I... I should not have been so harsh.' He sat down on the ground next to her. 'Would you be able to lend me your phone? I need to call the company and alert them as to my loss.'
'Oh, I did that this morning for you while you were sleeping. I thought you might appreciate not having to deal with the customer service reps.'
Switzerland felt endless gratitude towards Liechtenstein for taking care of that for him. 'Thank you, Liechtenstein.' He lay back on the grass. 'The weather is very nice today.'
