IT'S COMING HOME

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Hey now! Don’t read it out loud and make me look bad-

It doesn’t say that!

A gentleman would never use such a word.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach What part of “no” don’t you understand?

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach ...No. I didn’t agree to this. I’m not some pushover, you know.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach That’s... not how a bet works. I agreed to write you a letter, and that’s that. No public reading, or anything else. We shook on it.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach What? No. That wasn’t part of the bet.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@ImperialCentury ((Oh how lovely! You’re really doing some good out there. Being an adult is tough, isn’t it? I think I’m going for a masters actually.))

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@ImperialCentury ((👀 long time no see))

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Patience is a virtue, you know.

{Wearily, he fumbles about in his pocket, retrieving an envelope and handing it to her.}

Now shut up about it.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach What?

That’s not what I meant you idiot!

{His cheeks are pink, but is that embarrassment or the alcohol?}

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@ImperialCentury ((Thank you! Excited yes, feel like I’m having a bit of a quarter life crisis currently though... Oh wow what kind of organisation?))

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Alright alright, enough of that.

I just... thought it was going to be different this time, that’s all.

{Sighs.}

Still, I’m still immensely proud. It’s been 28 years since we last reached the semis, you know.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@ImperialCentury ((I actually graduate next week! Time flies, huh. And yourself? You were teaching weren’t you?))

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@TulpenEnMolens Yes, yes. I’m fine. Everything is fine.

It’s not like I was hopeful this time, or anything.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Gah... I don’t need your sympathy.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@ImperialCentury ((Thank you! I’m really heartbroken haha. But my faith in the team has been restored, so it’s not a total loss. Great minds eh?))

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach And I’ll honour that. Just... later. I need a drink.

[England @England]

To everyone who supported us.

To everyone who believed this time was different.

To everyone who wasn't afraid to dream.

To everyone who knows this is only the beginning.

Thank you. We hope we made you proud.

I know how disappointed @england must feel right now but I couldn’t be more proud of this team and you should hold your heads high. You’ve had an incredible #WorldCup, made history, and gave us fans something to believe in. We know there is more to come from this @england team. W

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Not now.

[Arthur Kirkland @RuleBritannia_]

@AnEirinnBrach Already? Give me a minute to recover, will you.
