At the Greek's words, Yao relaxed. 'O-oh... I'm sorry, aru. I... Just get a bit emotional when Kiku's mentioned is all.' He offered as a hasty explanation. He didn't exactly want to tell Heracles about the scar. In fact, he would prefer that the nation did not know at all... Though it was inevitable that it would come to light at some point. 'I'm sorry. Forgive me, Heracles. I didn't mean to snap.' He murmured, wanting to get up and hug the nation, though it'd upset Ivan...
It was difficult. Yao had to admit that he was very comfortable on Ivan's lap, but he'd also liked sitting with Greece, too... It was difficult to know what to do to appease the both of them. He didn't want to hurt the Russian's feelings, seeming as the man had been nothing short of a comfort to be near. Then again, Heracles was ever so kind and warm...
Yao began to feel a little smothered by them both. It was as if they were having a silent custody battle or something similar just through their statures. And it was awkward. Or perhaps the Asian was reading too far into the situation.
'Perhaps... Perhaps our friendship is possible, Heracles. But... Are you willing to risk it, just in case Kiku changes his mind, aru?'
(Haha, that's fine by me xD It's almost amusing that Ivan is so quiet <3) ----------
'Gilbert... Don't be silly, please.' Roderich's tone softened to something smoother and silkier, attempting to be a sort of soothing presence rather than someone that Gilbert abhorred. 'I suppose it doesn't matter about politeness. I apologise for bothering you.' He pushed his glasses onto his face with a heavy sigh, closing his eyes. 'I just wish I could help you more than this. I can't stop you suffering straight away... I can't get you medicine until we're home. I suppose we'll have to take a detour and get the medicine before we get to my home rather than what had been planned prior... I apologise for not being the best of carers... But you're stuck with me for a while.'
His posture seemed to slump a little in the chair. 'I have realised by now that there's no love lost between us, Gilbert. Judging by your reactions to me, anyhow.' he seemed a little bitter... And it wasn't due to what had happened earlier. It was a bitterness, a slight jealousy... Never seeing Gilbert give him a genuine smile somehow depressed him. Then again, only knowing the ex-nation for being cruel and manipulative was a bit depressing too.

Trembling, Gilbert reached up a hand to turn off the air conditioning. Outside, the rain had been warm. Now that he was out of it, his wet clothes were really chilly. The air conditioning was even worse. He went back to hugging his legs, shivering. He coughed again, listening to the Austrian.
Closing his eyes, he sighed weakly. "I'm not the only one guilty for that," he pointed out sullenly, referring to their lack of communication and apparent care about the other. Another wave of dizziness passed through him and he groaned, coughing slightly. "I'm so c-cold," he whispered out, voice barely making any sound. He knew that, despite the chill, he was above his regular body temperature. He tightened his grip again, trying to block out any the background and manage to get his mind out of the disorientated fog it was in.

'I know you're not the only one who's guilty, Gilbert...' the Austrian sighed a little, before lifting the armrest between them. 'Here. If you're feeling cold...' He removed his jacket (as there was no way it was going to dry before the plane landed, and it would most likely cause Gilbert more discomfort) before tossing it over another chair. In a smooth movement, he wrapped one arm around Gilbert, pulling the ex-nation towards himself with a gentle firmness.
Of course, Roderich waited for the struggle. He had a firm belief that Gilbert would certainly not just agree to this... After what had happened today, anyway. 'Just try to get some rest.' He frowned a little, noticing Gilbert's high temperature. The dilemma came about; was it best to keep Gilbert comfortable, or to do what was best for him and keep him cold?
Perhaps this sickness thing wasn't as easy as he'd first thought.
----------
'If you think so... You know him better than I do, nowadays, aru...' Yao replied in defeat, supposing that the Greek may've been right after all. Perhaps Kiku would be fine with it. But then again, the Asian couldn't help the niggling feeling that something was up with this. It seemed too easy, too simple for that. He glanced up at Heracles with a tired smile. 'I'm all too happy to be friends...' However, the nation trailed off, swallowing. What would Ivan think? He'd noticed that the Russian had fallen silent, and it was a little eerie... After all, to not know Ivan's position in this entire situation was a little worrying.
For all Yao knew, Ivan could be seething with anger beneath that little false smile. Or he could be terribly distraught... He swallowed again, finding his mouth going a little dry at the idea of upsetting his friend in any way. He doubted that he could handle it if Ivan were to distance himself.
'Ivan...?' He spoke gently after a few moments, wanting to somehow coax the silent nation to speak. He reached to gently touch the side of Ivan's face with one hand, smiling in what was meant to be a comforting manner... However, he couldn't hide the weariness in his eyes.

Ivan watched the interaction, feeling displeasure surge inside of him. It left a bitter taste on his tongue, making him feel small and insignificant. It made him want to pull Yao against him and insist that the Greek stay away from him. But...that would leave him being petty and possessive, wouldn't it? And that would hurt Yao. He didn't want the Chinese man to feel any sort of pain and leave him, like his older sister had. And how the Baltics had. He didn't like being alone - aside from Natalia, but since she stalked him, Ivan decided she didn't particularly count in this regard.
Blinking slightly when Yao brushed his hand against his cheek, he looked at the Asian curiously. He noticed the weariness in the man's eyes, not wanting to cause him anymore trouble.
"It's your choice," he slowly murmured, thinking over his words carefully. He didn't want to fumble in front of the Greek, causing any negative thoughts about his intelligence when he was unaccustomed to speaking English anymore.

Bella's eyes narrowed. She didn't like to hear of someone - even Lovino - bad mouthing Spain. However, Antonio and the Italian had been together for quite some time, so this may just be normal behaviour for them. Deciding to let it pass, she simply said "Well, he does look quite busy over there, with France and all..so you can't really blame him that much. And I don't suppose many people would really notice every detail that had changed since the last meeting..except you, of course, but then again, you have always been very..observant, haven't you? Belgium grinned at Lovino, enjoying this little conversation they were having.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heracles let out a soft sigh of contentment. It seemed both China and Japan had been right, that this was going to work out well afterall. The Greek smiled at Yao. "I really am happy to hear that, Yao." Sliding towards the wall opposite his friend, the Mediterrannean nation, still smiling softly, closed his eyes.
