A young man arrived here yesterday and offered insult to my spouse. I need to have his name from a reliable source. I also need to know if he is of honor [he doubts this, but who knows] and can be challenged, or not. [In which case hanging would be the most fitting action. If they guy's master ever shows up, Lithuania will just pay him out. If.]
He seems to be of no education and manners, his way of talking reminds of a common soldier; of rather heavy built, with short brown hair. He seems to be from a place called "Ohio".
[in reply to this. Lithuania is not normally one to get all revenge-y and agressive, not at all, but 1) from what he has heard and seen in the mansion so far, his and Poland's marriage is of the same standing as every other marriage would be, and as such he has every right that a husband has, and his and his spouse's honor is just as insulted as a heterosexual couple's honor would be. And yes, this means considering Poland a woman in a way, but with Poland having acted the female part in their wedding and wedding night, and, well, who wears the dresses?... That does not mean that he isn't aware of Poland's sex or gender or would normally consider him his wife. But when it is about sexuality (and sexuality is a big part of a woman's honor), he gets a lot more emotional and sharper than usual, due to what has happened before in this place.
And 2) he gets some vibes from Karofsky that he does not like at all, and though he cannot place it, they speak of future trouble. Better to clear up certain things now.
Yes, honor is a big deal to him. As is the safety of his husband.
ALSO his reaction is a lot about medieval social standing. A nation's rank compares to that of high nobility, riding a horse to war and being very close to the ruler of their country. Karofsky acts a lot like a third son from a lesser noble family or some other family of a social rank that is only this much away from peasantry, the kind of son that won't inherit anything and for some reason couldn't make it into a monastery. Those guys are usually trouble, especially for girls since they cannot expect to find a wife... And Lithuania and Poland have had discussions about that before (which resulted in Poland only being allowed to wear dresses outside their room when Lithuania is there). And a difference in social standing means a difference in how an insult to the honor of a wife would be treated.
...Also hanging. Lithuania as a person just prefers that a lot over breaking someone on the wheel or other more time consuming and painful ways of killing someone. And with a social difference like that, it would be appropriate.]
[Does someone want to talk him out of wanting to kill a guy over this?]

[In his rather limited Lithuanian:] ...Hey. Um. You okay?
[He doesn't want him to be unhappy. It's almost Christmas :<]
[Action]

[Liet doesn't often get this angry, and it worries Poland. The blond leans against him, just to assure him of his presence.]
...It was like, just words, Liet. He didn't hurt me.
[And if he tried, Poland is pretty sure he could take him!]
[Action]
No, he didn't. [If, there would have been no talk.]
[Action]
It's like, Christmas Eve, babe. Stop thinking about this and come help me with dinner?
[He'll even do
some ofhis share of the work; Christmas Eve dinner is a really big deal, after all.][Action]
...How is the carp?
[Action]
Looking good! Totally, like, healthy and stuff. I've got him in the sink, and he's totes just chilling there.
[He can kill it and bone it when they go down to the kitchen--he wants it to be as fresh as it possibly can be.]
[Action]
[He's ...not really getting bette,r he isn't good at pushing worries aside, but he is really trying.]
[Action]
[Poland will be happy for him, then, if that's what it takes.]

His name is Dave Karofsky. He's from my world, unfortunately. He's been known to get somewhat violent, but at the end of the day he's still a mere schoolyard bully. I usually get by ignoring him until he goes away. ...Most of the time. I doubt he even knows what the word honor means.
I'm sorry he was giving you and Poland trouble though. I can't even imagine why the mansion would find it necessary to bring him and all of his homophobia here.
[Video]
Are there any family or other people that would speak for him here? [Even if he has no honor, if someone who has wants to speak for him... But it's good to know that he doesn't need to worry about the choice of the weapon.
......aaaaaaand he is lost. He doesn't know this word. Like he didn't understand a lot of the insults that Karofsky used.] "Homophobia"?
And you don't need to be sorry, we have been handling Teutonic for a while back home, they are kind of alike judging from what I've seen and heard. If he gives you any major trouble, tell Poland and me and we'll see to it.

And homophobia...technically speaking it means a fear of homosexuality, of people who are attracted to others of the same sex. It's not really "fear" though - it's hatred. Homophobic people feel that boys who like other boys, for example, don't deserve the same rights as heterosexual couples. In Ohio, where Karofsky and I are from, it's illegal for two men to get married. They're also banned from adopting children, among other restrictions and prejudices. [] ...Anyway, a homophobic person is someone who treats a gay person with disgust, hatred, or even violence, for liking someone who happens to be of the same sex.
[] I will. Thank you; I appreciate it.
[Video]
Fear often means hatred... [He frowns at that news. With how everyone in this place that he has spoken to about it has acted so far, he thought the future would be a good place for ....well, humans like him and Poland. It is still strange for Lithuania to think of himself as "into guys", having been into girls all his life before things with Poland started to change. And he doesn't really get the feeling that he is looking at males or females differently now. Only Poland. Which really worries him, because he does not want to be dishonest about his feelings, and being torn between the two feels like betrayal of Poland.
...someone should explain the term "bisexuality" to him one day. And maybe mention Kinsey.] Is it that way in a lot of places where you are from? Are there a lot of people like that?Don't hesitate to call upon us; I'm sure Poland would be glad to be able to help you. [He smiles at that. It's not that they like getting into fights, but they are well rested and Poland would surely enjoy going after someone who threatened to hurt a friend.]
