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?]
