[America grins brightly. That means England liked it!] Maybe we can make one with something! [It's not like America doesn't have a ton of odds and ends.]
[England feels a little blinded by America's grin at the moment, and worse, he feels something bubbly in his chest, which is never a good sign.] Right. We'll have a look once we settle in for the night.
Okay, cool--hey, look! [And America's attention span drifts to something yellow and squeaky nearby. He grabs it. It's a rubber duck. He is squeaking it a lot right in England's face.]
What are you— [England's question is very rudely interrupted by the sound of squeaking. He lets out an indignant noise and ducks heheh away, since both of his hands are too occupied to swat at the obnoxious little thing.] Stop that! Insufferable wanker.
Oh, for God's sake. [It's not that cute! It doesn't even have a face!
England huffs and moves over to the shelves again so that he can set down the book and teacup in preparation to put them into his backpack.] Are you going to name him?
[That was sarcastic. Except actually England is pretty sure America will.]
As England withdraws and sets aside various items from his pack, something occurs to him over the horrific sounds of squeaking. He stops again, feigning thoughtfulness as he looks up at the shelves.] I suppose I could make dinner, if you're too busy searching with Sam...
[And suddenly America is back beside England, swiftly as if he'd teleported.] No way, dude, making dinner's my job. [Also breakfast and lunch and snacks and all food.]
[England knew that would work. Not that there's anything wrong with his food! But he was sure America would rather put down the duck than let England prepare any kind of meal.
[England is still busy carefully packing up that broken teacup and sliding the book in where it will fit best.] How generous of you.
[By the time he's done playing supply Tetris, he looks up to see the mess America is making, and his mouth pulls into a frown.] Careful with some of that.
I'm always careful! [With that Completely True Statement, America has finally sorted out the food and food prep stuff from everything else he carries around with him, and he's going about setting things up.]
Good thing that's what I'm doing right now. [So there! America is actually working on starting a fire. It's pretty annoying to not just use the matches, but they don't have a ton of those.]
That doesn't mean you're always careful. [That was the point, gosh.
England could go for his lighter, but it's getting pretty low on fluid at this point, and it's not like they need a large fire to cook most of their rations. So he watches America fuss with it for a little while before his eyes wander back down to his own wrist.]
[America is busy pouting at the fire, which he's only just gotten started.] How did people set fires like this all the time before we invented lighters and stuff? [He says, being four hundred years old.]

He slips off the handbag and the rucksack, delicately setting it on the floor and kneeling to open the zip. This is going to take some reorganizing.]

[And only in the sense that he tries not to drop it. His eating manners are still the opposite of careful.]
