The State of Tennessee
☀Andrew S. Hickory☀

"It's important to me, though," Tennessee said knowing she'd need to repay the nation for her kindness. Her experiences with most nations had left the impression it was rare any nation went out of their way to help a little state. It really did mean a lot to her that Jack would take care of North Carolina like that.

Andrew blinked when she felt Hawaii's hand leave her shoulder and glanced back at her little brother to make sure he was still there. She started to turn her attention back to Jack until the now taller state called her attention to him. Tennessee bit her lip a little when he mentioned leaving and awkwardly rubbed her elbow. Not being used to having a female body made her feel oddly vulnerable and Georgia still wasn't there. While she didn't think any of these nations would try to conquer her there was still that twinge of worry in the back of her head reminding Andrew that if a fight broke out she wouldn't know what to do. Perhaps this body could fight just as well as her male one? It was hard to say and that was what worried her the most.

"Ok," she said. Hawaii probably had other things he needed to do anyway, right? It wasn't fair to take up so much of his attention especially when he needed to recover. "Take it easy, ok? You might need to reheat the food I made on the stove. I'll come back to the dorm after this is over... Oh, and if Charlotte leaves don't let Latvia stay." It was a weird request, but Andrew did not trust Raivis anywhere near her baby brother's lips. Especially not with his confession and if they were alone together in a dorm with no supervision who knows what that hussy might try? Just the thought of it made Tennessee's expression sour into an angry sulk.

The Spaniard snifled as he wiped his nose with his hand. he wished Lovi was here. His face always cheered him up. His cute little angry face. Why're all these embarrassing moments happening to him today? Looks like he has a bad case of bad luck today. Maybe he should head back to the dorm and take a siesta to forget about today.

The State of Tennessee

Tennessee still didn't seem convinced that being alone with Latvia was a good idea, but at least she recognized Hawaii was a very big boy right now. It really wasn't fair he was so tall now... Er, well, the point was at least being such a big guy meant Raivis probably couldn't force herself on him. That was a little reassuring.

Andrew was distracted from her worries when the tall, blonde woman with the thick German accent invited her and Jack to sit with her. She felt a little nervous joining in with the nations. America didn't like it when she was around him for too long, so wouldn't she just annoy them being a mere state? Tennessee looked up at the European and blushed softly at the gentle smile. It did make her feel a little more at ease and she smiled shyly at Ludwig. "Thanks," she said, "That's awfully kind of you, ma'am." Er... Sir? Well, maybe she'd be forgiven for the slip this time.

... Wait, what was that bouncing? Andrew looked at the door just as it opened and revealed Georgia standing there in all of her voluptuous glory. She looked like a mess as the blonde southerner struggled just to breath. Had she run the whole way!? Well, Tennessee had, too, but she wasn't bearing quite the same "load" that her sister was. The brunette wondered if they might need to visit the clinic, but luckily Christian recovered before that became a real problem.

There was a noticeable shift in Tennessee's attitude towards with her big sister present. Much of her anxiety about being with the nations instantly melted away now that one of her siblings was close by. Andrew seemed a great deal less timid and comfortable in her own skin almost as if suddenly it was important she appeared tougher. When Christian took her hands and offered an apology the shorter girl blushed and glanced away.

"I'm fine, George," Tennessee said stubbornly despite her near breakdown only minutes ago. "Ain't nothin' for you to worry 'bout. I can take care of myself just fine." Despite the change in attitude Tennessee really did seem relieved and far more relaxed having her big sister nearby and was willing to let Hawaii go with a small smile as she waved after him while Georgia greeted her old tutor.
