[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.]

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?

Like, a ton of them!

But a lot of farmers have to sell their farms today, small family run ones hardly survive, unless they industialize, too.

...That sounds lame.

It is. ...I guess it was easier in the middle ages.

How can they like, afford to eat and stay housed, then?

They get other jobs?

[He's confused, because to him, food-production-based economies are the ONLY kind. He sounds incredulous.]

Dude, like what?

...well, most often they start to work retail, or in an office, I guess. [But but you really only need a small percentage of the people for food production...]

This is confusing.

...You'll remember.

...Yeah. Totally!

[Faaaaaake smile!]

[The phone in the wall rings, and Toris looks over there.] That has to be the food!

If you wanna go get it, I'll wait here ♥

I'll be back in a moment. [He has to pick it up himself, they can't just let delivery people into the facility. Leaning down, he kisses his wife's forehead and then takes a step back and turns towards the door and is gone.]

[Poland keeps himself entertained by enacting a drama with his tableware as the actors, giving each one a different silly voice and moving around when they "do" things.]

[When he returns, laden with warming trays, he stops in the door for a few moments, just watching Felicja act out the drama.]

And then the spoon's all like, "No! You like, can't stand in the way of true love!" and totally throws himself in between them so they can't fight anymore! And it's super dashing and stuff, but the knife's still totally hung up on the glass, so he gets all, "ohmigod, I'm so sorry I've been acting like such a jerk, but like, you should run away with me 'cause you're megawickedfoxyhot!"

So she's like, "God, I dunno, I totally like you before but then you got all aggro, right?", and meanwhile the plate's over there all like...

[He tries to stay quiet, but can't hold back the giggling. It's just really adorable and so ...very Felicja.]

...!!

[On noticing that Liet is there, he immediately drops what he's doing, blushing his face off.]
