[ Hello, Discedians. It's been far too long since we had Drawing Adventures with Hong Kong, hasn't it? Since we're overdue for more, here we go. This time, it's a special occasion!

Okay, it's a little past due, but Hong Kong had a few other things on his mind when this was relevant. So now you get to go on a lovely adventure with him.

And… if you're a young'n, you might want to look away. Pretend this is a picture of bunnies and butterflies frolicking through a field of pretty flowers!

What it actually is, is some slightly questionable artwork of… England.

Yeah, Hong Kong is that shameless. He already got Japan, so his not-dad is apparently next on The List.

The first of these is a lovely and mostly subtle image of England with Portugal. Well, you'd only know that if you know Portugal, because most of the features are obscured, except for one or two key ones. C'mon, there's so much… UST.

No, there's no UST like the next drawing. The two kings of UST, no matter what France says about America. This is the best one, because it has the most attention to detail (and is probably the most explicit, since France would surely like that). Following that is one of England with Spain, though this one is again a little sketchy. Hong Kong doesn't really hang out with Spain a lot.

Or ever, really.

There's a definite pause here, like he's trying to decide what next. Oh, how about lady France? She was pretty cool. He considers lady England, but first, that's almost too much, and second, she'd probably find a way to kill him dead. Sorry dad, he's way more afraid of her. :'| ]

happy birthday. any other requests?

[ Isn't he just. So beautifully cryptic. ]

It seems pointless, but I'm not angry.

You think I want to avoid being like you?

I dunno. Do you?

If I am like you then it is incidental. I don't feel one way or the other about it.

Sounds kinda cold when you put it like that. [ Not that this is surprising or anything. ]

Did you want me to say that I aspire to be you?

Be me? No way, that'd be weird.

Then you don't need to take offense.

Wasn't taking offense.

Then as I said, spend your time on whatever projects you deem necessary.

I'll do my best. You too, yeah? You're still studying and practicing. [ It's sort of a question. ]

Ah, I am. Even when it feels I've learned everything I find things that are unfamiliar.

There's a lotta stuff to see. [ And read and talk about and learn. ]

Even here. Perhaps that's true.

Yeah - and it's stuff you can't learn at home. Or mostly, I'd guess.

Sure, but how much of it will I actually need when I return? I guess I can't know so easily.

You're keeping yourself busy. That's important too.

Right now it is everything.

Yeah, I guess it would be.

I always want more. If you have anything else to teach, let me know.

I dunno. I could show you some martial arts from my place, if you want.

Martial arts?

Y'know, like. [ He assumes a fighting stance. ] Yeah?

[ . . . ]

Teach me.

[ He relaxes again, lowering his arms. ] Next time we meet, I'll show you some things, yeah?

I'll look forward to it. I will not go too easy on you, either.
