[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.]

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.]

Casimier can already say most of the Lord's prayer, at least if we say it together.

That's awesome! I'm like, sure he'll learn the rest soon ♥

He's only six.

It's like, never too early ♥

I think Emilia is still a bit young.

Whatever! You're like, never too young to have God in your life~

She cannot even read yet.

You like, don't need to read to learn scripture.

well, she's not in school yet. ...She's a very bright girl, though.

...So you're like, going to have her educated?

[CRAZY STUFF, man. Can you like, do that for girls here? Ones who won't be queens?]

Of course.

It would be unlawful to not have her schooled.

Get out, like, since when?

...I'm not sure, but I think it haas been a while? Since after the war at least, but I'm sure it's been longer...

That's like, so weird! I mean, awesome, but weird.

No country could go without half of it's workforce these days.

Seriously, weird.

Why?

[He has always lived in this time, he doesn't really get where his qife is coming from. For a moment, at least. He read up quite a lot about her delusions in all the nights when he sat at home alone while the children where at bed and had some quiet hours. It has become some strange kind of connection.] ...well, all humans are created equal, adn everyone should have equal rights. All children are required to attend school.

Well... 'cause like, only the rich can afford books and tutors. That and like, the Church. And practically nobody bothers for their daughters, unless they're like, way rich.

...That's... really? [He likes the idea, but finds it hard to believe. You could be able to just... teach everyone to read and write?]

The times... have changed. To survive in the modern world, it is imperative for everyone to be able to read and write and do basic math. Women and man have all the same possibilities and rights, at least in theory...

Emily wants to join the military when she is big, I really hope she reconsiders.

Well, she's like, still young, right?

[Not even addressing how weird the idea of a girl soldier is to him.]

Yes...

[He smiles sheepishly.] I really wanted to become a farmer at that age, and look where I am now.

I think you would have been pretty awesome at that, if you did it ♥

[...That's not exactly the wording he wants to use, but for the sake of trying not to distress Liet with his "delusions", it'll be close enough.]

...And we would have had ponies, I guess?
