How would the Kirklands react to catching Scotland crying?

hetaliawhatifs:

England: “A-Alistair? Oh dear…”
Arthur knows that Alistair hardly ever cries…in his own memory, Alistair has cried possibly two times. He would know that Alistair would want his space and may yell at whoever went near him just to ensure he was alone…but Arthur would know that he needed someone. Whatever was making him cry was serious and Arthur would endure the yelling as he went to just sit by his side. Arthur wouldn’t move to touch Alistair at first…just to sit beside him to remind him that he wasn’t alone. After a while, Alistair may just lean against Arthur…a silent sign of gratitude. 

Wales: “Not good…not good…”
Dillon would bite his lip and think for a moment before quietly rushing to grab a cigarette or two for Alistair…he hated that his oldest brother smoked, but he knew in this moment that he would need it to calm down. Dillon would be hesitant to go near Alistair, but in the end would take a deep breath before running in beside him and giving him the cigarette and a gentle pat on the back…if Alistair didn’t yell, Dillon would sit beside him and just keep him company.

Ireland: “He’s finally letting it all out.”
Angus knows that Alistair bottles up all of his feelings and never really deals with problems, so if Angus heard his oldest brother crying he would quietly sigh. He would know that Alistair would feel better after crying it all out, but he would want to help. Angus would go around the house and make sure to clean everything, do all the laundry and the dishes and make sure the house was spotless. He would want Alistair to be able to relax after having a good long cry.

Northern Ireland: “Shite.”
Saemus would panic if he heard Alistair cry. Alistair never cried. At least, he never saw or heard Alistair cry. He would be looking around trying to figure out what to do. Did he go in and risk getting yelled at or did he just let Alistair work it out alone? But what if Alistair needed someone? What if it was bad? Saemus would panic before just biting his lip and soon coming up with a plan…he would slowly open the door and slide in a glass of water, a small glass of whiskey and a small sweet treat. Though Saemus wouldn’t stick around long after that…but he would know he tried.
