Are you and roderich or austria good friends? Considering allegiances and all

"We're friends, you could say. As much as someone might be that to another country in power. He is civilized and good at teaching proper etiquette, very much on par with François in that matter. I find myself learning a lot in his company. Although I really don't like hearing German when I could be hearing French. Currently he is teaching me piano. It's easy to learn once you know the harpsichord, but like any new invention, it's still a process."

|| I genuinely really love Austria. He's such a funny little creature. His design is so cute too, and I am absolutely useless over nyo!Austria. Which is why she is one of Alexandra's girlfriends. I am biased like that. The modern piano was invented in 1700~, so these two have had a good few years to learn it, so you'd THINK Ivan wouldn't need lessons anymore. But new inventions took a very long time to get to Russia, so I'm sure he only really got to learn whenever visiting Austria on business. And he's not entirely motivated to learn it, to be honest. He prefers the violin. ||
