Synopsis: Spain pays a visit to one of his former colonies, Mexico, just after she's managed to fight off France's attempt at conquest (hooray historical reference!). Originally to check on debt payments, the meeting turns to flirting and things wholly unrelated to business.
Character:
Mexico
Official Name: Estados Unidos Mexicanos
Name: Victoria Ixchel Fernandez
Age: 17
Description (lacking a pic): Victoria has a softly tanned complexion due to her mixed indigenous and Spanish heritage. Her native ancestry is further reflected in her mid-back length ebony hair, usually pulled back in a ponytail. Yet her eyes are green, more or less the same color as Spain's. Due to lots of hard work, troubles and the like she's somewhat lean, but always seems to have energy in reserve. Since being raised by Spain she's always been a tomoboy, to the point that people mistook her for one not unlike Hungary when she was young. Due to the series of wars she's fought since independence, Victoria at this stage typically wears her military uniform - blue jacket with red and gold embroidery on the collar, white pants, and a sash of her national colors.

It would've been really nice to have a decade without someone to fight. First fighting for independence against Spain for 11 years, then Texas leaving, followed by America taking away the northern half (more or less) of the country, then finally France trying to make her part of his empire. After all that Mexico felt a little weary, and understandably so. Despite that she was happy to have finished the last one, and to have actually won this time. It stung her pride to lose to America as she had, so beating France helped ease her somewhat.
But now that the war was over, the other Europeans she owed money to would need payment. England had already agreed to terms with her a few years before. That left Spain, who was due any moment now. Victoria waited in her office, beaten up as it looked, waiting for Antonio to arrive. She would've gone to the docks to meet him, but still had a little annoyance with him - lingering effects of her fight for independence. At the same time, they had a long, shared heritage and he had raised her after her real father had gone.
Mexico straightened her uniform for what had to be the fourth time in the past five minutes. She'd been nervous about looking good for the meeting, even with the troubles she and Spain had caused each other. It wasn't the best fitting uniform, of course - it was a little too big - but it would do. Victoria paced over to the window overlooking the plaza again, for lack of much else to do until Antonio arrived.

He had knew Mexico since....well almost since she was born. Certain reason had made so that he had to take care of her. Although a part of their history meant lots of war, blood-shed, massacre, theft, and more. But that was something Antonio had never wanted. They were order. Antonio was obedient and followed order because he had no other choice. He had to because of what would have if he didn't would have been worst and his country would have been into great and worst problem. But that was past, even if it still ran into his memory, most of it was gone now. He was now the happy, goofy Spaniard everyone knew.
But now was the time to meet her again. He hope that no problem would happen between them. He would act is normal happy self so that no problem would happen. Actually in his mind, nothing would go wrong. What could go wrong after all? They were only meeting. Discussing political affair, that's all. So he got dressed, book up the flight and boat ticket and it was off to Mexico.
He arrived at the dock, waiting for Victoria to be there, a reason why he had his usual, more than happy smile on his face. But no, no Victoria in sight. He pout, a bit unhappy to that, but he put on back his smile and started walking to the house of Victoria. He knew where it was and walking would do him some good after sitting in the plane and on the best. It didn't took that much time before he got to the house. It wasn't that far. He arranged his outfit, trying to look good and knock on the door, waiting with his usual grin.

The knock made Victoria stiffen as she continued staring out the window. It was entirely possible that her boss had come to see her, but that was silly when she thought about it. He was busy getting acquainted with America's boss. She shuddered at that thought; America really made her upset sometimes, especially with how he'd picked on her after Texas. That thought aside this had to be Antonio, here to talk business.
She sighed in relief, happy to distract herself from thinking about America or France. There'd been differences between herself and Spain, but they otherwise got along okay. As she headed slowly for the door Victoria smirked as she recalled Antonio's early attempts to teach her Spanish. Young as she was, she'd still insisted on trying to speak Nahuatl all the time. Now? She was perfectly fluent in Spanish and was more Spanish than native herself.
Once at the door Victoria opened it and put on her own welcoming smile, though it came out more as a weary smirk. Despite her formal uniform she still had a bit of dirt on her face left over from recent battles. Seeing Antonio wasn't so bad, she thought, seeing his smile for the first time in a long while.
"Hola, Antonio! Please come in, it's been too long," she greeted him, trying to be polite even if he had done some things in the past she hadn't appreciated.

It didn't took much time to be answer that Antonio was already greated by Victoria. He couldn't help but think that she had grown up alot, becoming a fine, strong will and strong powered woman she now was. Her uniform made her look so formal, while he knew well she was the type of woman to enjoy to sometime loaf around, dance, go to some fiesta. But he knew well that those were things she couldn't do right now because of the recent fight with France. It could be seen by the small trace of dirt that was on her face and some on her uniform. This made him frown slightly. He never like to see Victoria into her military uniform, even though she had too. Antonio always rather see her into dance dress and normal civil clothes. Maybe later he told himself.
Victoria hola! How's my favorite hermosa? He said into his usual cheerful tone to her. He felt indeed very happy to see her. It had been indeed to long that he couldn't remember when was the last time they had actually see each other. So much were happening into each other country that none of them ever had the time for much play off. Of course Antonio cheerfull and less serious self always tend to go dancing, playing guitar, following around, walking into the city, rather than staying in his office and work. He knew Victoria was always like that, but for some reason, she was much more serious when it came to work than Antonio was. Antonio didn't mind though, she still consider her as an excellent friend.
He stepped in as Victoria had told him too. Woah, to say, she really had a beautifull house. The decoration was nice, not to fancy or showing off, comfortable and inviting. But he let the furniture and decoration aside and looked much more onto Victoria looks and appearance. Her figure was indeed impressive and she could go on a fight anytime. She had really grown into a wonderfull and indeed beautifull woman. And of course, that meant Antonio couldn't help but compliment her.
Victoria Hermosa...when have you become so beautifull?

Cheerfulness could be infectious. The way Antonio spoke despite the problems he always seemed to have couldn't help but make Victoria smile. As a country there was always a lot of work to do. Antonio always seemed capable of avoiding constant work and stress in order to do much more entertaining things. Victoria was quite jealous of that; she'd much rather take a break to enjoy food, play some music or just loaf around. Things being how they were she constantly had to worry about someone else sticking their nose in her business and picking a fight. Not to speak of the constant civil unrest between various potential bosses.
"I've been.. better. Less worn down, that's for sure," she answered Antonio's first question. Victoria considered pretending it was all okay, but an observant friend like Antonio would notice that wasn't the case. Better to be honest about it.
As she stepped back to allow Antonio to come in, she got the sense that a pair of eyes were on her. Maybe all this fighting had made her hyper-aware of being watched. She quickly realized it was probably just Antonio, and she immediately began wondering why. It wasn't like her uniform was the most flattering outfit. It might have gotten torn during her fighting with France, but she thought it was intact. Antonio might just be concerned about her; they were friends, so it would only be natural. His compliment was a surprise even though she should have expected it.
Unabashed, Victoria smiled more genuinely and answered, "I've always been this beautiful, Antonio. You're only noticing it just now.."
She motioned to a couch in the common room nearby and suggested, "Why don't we just sit there to discuss business? A lot more comfy than my office.. and I've been stuck in that office for a while now.."

Antonio trully recognized the girl she had raised there. Always she knew how to turn a simple compliment into a cocky way of making it sound better. She always did it since she was young. It was something Antonio had always seen into her. So when she did her remark about her always being beautiful and that it was only now that Antonio had saw him made him chuckle. Yes, she did have a point. Always she has been beautifull, but now, and that was probably the reason of Spain compliment in the first place, she was even more beautifull. She had become mature, refine, pure. To him, she couldn't be more beautifull right now. No, she really had gone into the best of her beauty, and no other woman could surpass her into it. Sure maybe she had some dirt and wasn't in the best outfit in the world, but that didn't change Spain perception.
Getting out of his ''Oh-she's-so-beautifull-and-gorgeous-and-everthing'' bubble after a few moment, he had remember what was the reason of the visit. Political business. The simple idea made him pout. Business, he never really did it, always getting out of or doing it at the last minute because he was too busy playing his guitar or actually dancing. But he had no choice, they had to talk bussiness. He said to himself that he should be able to talk bussiness for a few hours, before going out, probably with Victoria, and go out dancing.
Ah si...He paused before walking to the couch and sitting on it. What does la magnifica mujer has to talk about?

The common room was furnished with expensive looking furniture, some of which had gold gilding. Those pieces, Mexico mused with amusement, had been seized from the 'Emperor' France had forced into power. Actually they were very nice pieces imported from the man's Austrian relatives; they were also probably the most expensive things in Victoria's home at the moment. Along the wall was a mural featuring various scenes from her past - Aztec, conquest, and independence all in one stretch. Having some of that must be akward for Antonio, she thought, but they were important to her all the same.
Victoria sat on the couch and thought over what business they had to talk about. Settling on a way to repay her debts to Antonio was really the only big thing. That wasn't something she really felt like discussing, but business was business. Sitting there with Antonio she really felt more like going to get a couple of guitars for them to play instead. Or maybe to skip the meeting entirely and go to a nice cantina. As such thoughts filled her mind, Victoria was feeling increasingly less inclined to tend to business at hand.
"Si... well, I owe you money.. or my bosses owe your bosses money. England already settled on a plan, so maybe that would be best for paying you back too," Victoria finally answered, then grinned at mentioning, "But Francis won't be getting any money from me anytime soon. Not after I kicked him out like that!"
She even laughed before mentioning, "You like this home of mine, si? I think you'll be surprised to hear that I built it with my own hands."

Antonio was amazed on how that single room was. The details from everywhere, everything was trully amazing. Looking around a bit and Antonio finally saw an Aztec mural. Did Antonio see well? Did Victoria had put that because she liked it and it was after all, a part of herself, or did she had it to put him in discomfort. Nevertheless, he did felt bad just a little bit, but that was about it. It was a part of him he rather forget. Like some other part of his history. The conquistador being the biggest part he always wanted to forget, his pirate era was one as well. None of the less, he went back on admiring the room around, until his action went back to Victoria that had sit on a couch and started talking.
In a way he was listening to her talking about bussiness, but in another he wasn't listening at all. He was more just looking at Victoria and how beautifull she was and became. Maybe she wasn't in the best looking dress ever, but her military outfit did had some charm. And Antonio always thought that a woman was beautifull no matter what she was wearing. He tried imaginating her in different kind of dress, dancing around with him. That made him want to dance right now. He could always wait a bit after the bussiness talking but he wouldn't hold long.
Eehh verdad? I knew you had beautifull hands for building great things. He said, then pause before giving an inviting smile. Si si...I know about the money problems....but hermosa why don't we dance right after bussiness is over? He couldn't resists to ask, he just wanted to dance now, and Victoria was there so the moment was great to him.
