CONCEPT, THAT'S THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR, THANK YOU. FOR A WHILE THERE AUSTRIA, YOU WERE NOT A PERSON. YOU WERE MORE THAN A PERSON. I'm laughing now though because he would still say he really doesn't get the nation thing but apparently he actually sort of does. Who knew.

But yeah, he's not the sort to like...continually bring up how eternally grateful he is or anything. Just so long as he made it clear once that he was thankful for what she did, that's all that needs to be said really. Then they can go back to snipping at each other and secretly eating cake and all is right in the world. HE KNOWS HE'S THANKFUL, SHE KNOWS HE'S THANKFUL, HE DOESN'T SEE WHY THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE, TBH.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS CR TO BE SO IMPORTANT BUT HOLY HELL. IT WAS SO IMPORTANT.
