[Dr. Lorinaitis is busy setting up a candlelight dinner in one of the visitation rooms. The table is ready, as is the decoration, and right now all he can do is wait for the confirmation call from the high-class restaurant that he ordered dinner from, and choose the right music.

He's sitting between stacks of records, putting one into the player, deciding against the music and trying another, over and over again. None really seem to be as perfectly fitting as they should.

Come and laugh at his choice of music? Tell him that the room looks just awesome?

Either way it will be hard to make him anything but giddily excited, like a schoolboy on his first real date. ..It's just been a while that he could be with his wife like this, way too long, and he's talked it through with his as well as her mother and all sisters and girl friends that were available for hours. He doesn't want to screw up and see a backlash happen. Not tonight, not ever. He just hopes that Felicja liked the hairpins and ribbons and the jewelry that he placed on her bed while she was gone.]

["Felicja" turns up a couple of minutes after the time they agreed on. He was actually ready on time, but delayed a bit by nervousness. Can he be blamed? The boy's feeling intensely confused about whose version of reality is right, and all too aware that Liet thinks everything in his whole life is a delusion.]

[But... he's looking forward to spending time with his husband. Not that they don't spend a lot of time together already, but it's sort of... different, he supposes.]

[A calm smile hiding his nervous shyness, he comes into the visitation room. He's dressed in one of the nicer dresses that were in his room, and accessorized to match from the things Lithuania--Toris?-- brought him.]

Hey.

[Crash.

Clatter.

Toris just jumped to his feet at the voice of his wife, and the records are raining to the ground around him. He goes beet red, but the smile that he flashes the woman before looking back down at the records is genuinely happy and warm.] Hey.

[He laughs, going over to help Liet pick them up]

God, you're like, such a dork. Did I freak you out?

[He laughs sheepishly.] You look great. Every man's brain would stop for a moment seeing you. [That's not the whole truth, but close enough.]

Pfft, flatterer ♥

[He hands Liet the records in his hands, smiling. The dress he chose flares out over the hips and cinches in his waist, making his body look a little more womanly.]

So like, what's up?

They should be here with the food soon. ...I'm sorry that we couldn't drive to the restaurant, but my boss said that we couldn't let any patients out this month due to some attempted escapes that happened recently.

...But the table is ready!

It's cool, I'm like, sure I'll get to show off my cute clothes some other time.

Hey, what are these things, anyway?

[Motions to the records.]

Music... I brought the ones that used to be your favorites, and some that I really like, and a few new ones, and some that the nice lady in the shop helped picking me.

Like, how do they work?

[Fascinated and confused by the idea of getting music from something so small.]

The music is written on the black plastic here, and when you put it into this part of the recorder [explains while inserting the record] it reads the music and plays it. A bit like a human singing sheet music, I guess.

I totally don't see anything written on it...

That's because it is for the machine to read, not for humans.

Are you like, sure you're not just making this up?

I'm not.

...I'm sorry, this isn't really what I majored in. Maybe I could try to find some book about it.

"Majored"?

[WHAT AM MODERN COLLEGE SYSTEM?]

...Well, there are... People have different occupations. And for what I do, I didn't need to learn how this works.

Oh. Okay!

I chose this path early on. ...I guess I just was never too good at the technical stuff.

So like, what's fun about it? Besides getting to see me, obvs.

Well, I didn't know that that would be part of it when I chose it. [He thinks for a moment while leading Poland over to the table.]

I can work with people, help them. If I had become a doctor that takes care of a patient's body, it would have been likely that I end up only seeing part of a human at some point down the road, only legs or only intestines... And I really wanted to help a person, not only their body.

[He smiles, slipping his fingers in between Liet's.]

That sounds cool ♥ Like, way better than intestines, at least. Grody to the max.

[Squeezes the woman's fingers gently and laughs.]

Yes, I guess so. I much prefer talking to people and working with them on their health. [Even though curing his patients is often harder and less possible than curing the worst cancer. But he can try, and every little step into the right direction is great.]

[Poland sits down at the table, smoothing his skirt down with the hand that isn't tangled up in Liet's, smiling warmly.]

You like, still go to church without me, right?

I can hardly go there with you, right? [He nods.] Of course I do. No matter what my family thinks about it. With the children, too.

'Kay, good.

[He would be very fussy, if he thought his children weren't being raised properly in the faith.]
