How many non-humans are here in Vatheon?

If you are not human, what are you?

That's exactly what I thought.

[circumsutus]

So, what's your grocery list for today?

[goodlifechoices]

Oh, I didn't make a list. I didn't plan this out well at all, I just wanted out of the house.

[circumsutus]

That's surprising. Were you overwhelmed by the teenagers?

[goodlifechoices]

Completely. I just don't think I can handle so many teenagers on a full time basis.

[ So dramatic. ]

[circumsutus]

You don't really act much differently from them, Marie.

[Oh yes this is a good curse.]

[goodlifechoices]

The difference between me and the children is that they don't have to worry about becoming old maids.

[circumsutus]

Not yet they don't.

Besides, being a old maid can't be that bad. All your students love you.

[Missing the point forever.]

[goodlifechoices]

That doesn't change that I'm insecure about this-- and, hey, I'm not an old maid yet!

[circumsutus]

How old are you now, Marie?

[goodlifechoices]

Thirty, thirty-one late next month-

[ She makes a strangled sobbing sound, defeated. ]

Now you're just taking advantage of me, Stein.

[circumsutus]

That's not too old, but you should get married soon.

Spirit is still single. [And you already thought you were married to him once.]

Have you made any progress getting Shiro to notice you? [Because that was another one of your plans.]
