I think it should probably be mentioned that I'm not actually pregnant.

...Virus.

Oh, I suppose so... Is that your way of saying that you'd like one?

[Also probably teasing.]

[Shrug.]

Perhaps at some point. Not anytime in the immediate future, I don't think.

Very well, dear. Everything will be as you wish.

Should you not be taking your own wishes into consideration as well?

I am, but I wish to see you smile.

I might be more inclined to do so if you spared a thought for yourself occasionally.

Then I can do that. See, that wasn't hard.

No, perhaps it was not.

If Father says anything to you about making an honest man out of me, ignore him.

Excuse me?

Well, you know how it is - unwed and pregnant, it's a scandal.

[Blink blink.]

[No, he doesn't know how it is.]

If I were a woman, and if you had actually gotten me pregnant, you would have been forced to marry me or my father might have actually attempted violence.

...That actually matters now?

I'd be disgraced if not.

Really?

Society does many things that may seem a little backwards.

It certainly has become a little strange.

Anyway, Father's a little strange himself. I think he's too eager to have you as a son-in-law, personally.

He's been very welcoming, much like everyone else here.

Who wouldn't welcome you? You're wonderful.

I couldn't imagine everyone would be so grateful for a permanent houseguest.

Who helps with far more chores than he creates, is always polite and friendly, and has a good reason to be here.

It's only fair I should repay everyone's hospitality in the few ways that I can.

You have an acute sense of fairness that not many have developed.
