[Lithuania is sitting on the windowsill, looking outside. He's holding the communicator in his hands, looking down at it with distant eyes.]

Sometimes I think that the greatest ability of humans, right after compassion, is the ability to conceive children.

[There's a little pause, as if the next words were an afterthought.] I sometimes have to wonder how it is to know that you are able to found a family like that.

Children would be such a big responsibility.

But a wonderful one. ...And I guess that we, as nations, should be used to responsibility by now, don't you think?

I think it's a different kind of responsibility. With our citizens, it's less...personal, if you will? That's not quite the shade of meaning I'm going for, but because there are so many of them the worries we have for them are on a much broader spectrum. With a child, there are so many different things you have to worry about, on an individual level.

Plus there is a bit more freedom in choosing. If you want to have them or not. Not much, but you can always go for a lifestyle that doesn't include children. [i.e. be a monk or priest. Or nun.]

[Oh, man, the past.]

That's true.

Terrifying. Stupid. Thrilling. Fun. Powerful. It's pretty much everything all at once topped on top of responsibility.

[Poland thinks that he should say something to this. It's just that...]

[The problem is, he absolutely agrees--he thinks it's amazing, and loves children, and loved having Nitori as their child. Would love to have children of his own.]

[And knows that, even if God and everyone else approves of them, he'll still never be able to do that. Never be able to give that to Lithuania, and that... feels more selfish than even he is capable of being, sometimes. He'd sort of avoided the thought before, because he just doesn't know what to do about it.]

[He tries to say something, a couple of times-- "Yeah", "I", "um", a couple of other false starts. Finally, he gives up and goes quiet.]

[He didn't mean to do that. Didn't mean to make Poland sad... Not like this.

He's not sure what to say either, there are so many things, and he doesn't know where to start, and the device just doesn't seem to be the right place to say them.]
...Where are you?

[Poland switches it to video, for the sake of giving Liet his "I'm fine! Everything's fine! Don't be worried about me!" smile. You know, the one that's just a bit forced and only comes out when there's a reason to be worried about him.]

I'm like, in the woods. Why? Is something up? I was just walking, so I can come home anytime, it's no big...

I can come out there, too. Let's meet by the strawberry patch? I'll bring a little basket.

Magic, I suppose you could say. I was created using my dad's power, and now I carry on his bloodline. I'm just saying that no one ever thought it was possible, and then one day it happened. It could happen to you, too, maybe.

...I have a foster mother. And she's more of a mother to me than my actual mother. Things like that, who your children are and who your parents are, should be choices, and not something you're born into.

...It would still be nice. To have children that belong to both of us equally.
