Fifty-Second Entry [Video/Action]

[reckless_eagle]

[Poland appears to be walking around unsupervised, which the doctors may note that he's not allowed to do, because his delusions include something about being a knight and he's gotten into some pretty heated arguments with the staff. In light of his oppositional-defiant disorder, though, it's probably not all that surprising to see him breaking the rules.]

[He's also wearing one of the pretty dresses that were in his closet, which should at least please the nice men in the white coats who keep trying to get him to accept that he is a she.]

So like, what gives? Is the Queen like, running out of ideas or something? 'Cause the hospital thing is so old news.

And like, why does the name on my door say "Felicja"? That's like, a girls' name! It was locked, too--I like, had to spend forever getting it open!

Well, whatever. Like, how's everyone dealing with this one so far? The food here sucks almost as bad as the last hospital's. Liet, where are you? You should totally make me something.

A bit tired, I guess. It must be the weather, they said that there was a thunderstorm coming in tonight. [Not really answering. DOn't tell the crazies that they are crazy.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully for Liet, Poland is easily distracted.]

For reals? It's like, a weird time for that...

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I guess they are a bit early this year. But they say that it shouldn't get dangerous in this area.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Actually, I like, thought they were kinda late...

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...No?

[He sighs and shifts the documents in his arms.] Dear, what time of the year is it?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Early December. Duh. Advent totally just started this week.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It's late summer.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

...Dude, no it's not.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...It is. You will see tonight.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

It's totally not, though! It was like, St. Andrew's Day four days ago!

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

It will be alright, Felicja. It's not that different.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

...Felicja?

[He has a bad, bad feeling about this all of a sudden.]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

....

Yes. [Very soft, in a very sad tone. It seems that he hoped for too much.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Poland is really sure he's not comfortable with this, but. Liet looks upset. And he's his husband, and he loves him, so...]

Liet... That's like, not...

[He reaches for his husband's hand softly]

...What's wrong?

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...It will be alright. [He takes the hand and tries to force a smile.] It will be alright. They said that they could even reschedule the surgery to an a bit earlier date, if there is enough of a progress...

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

S-Surgery?!

[Shit, son, don't scare him like that! He's from a point in time where surgery means "you'll probably die anything, but you'll definitely die if we don't do something", pretty much without exception O_O]

I don't--I-I'm fine, Liet! Why would I need surgery?!

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

To reverse what they did to you before. ...it will be alright, they are very good at what they are doing, they have done reconstructional surgery many times before and have the best track record in the country.

I wouldn't let anyone else do that for you.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Like, no one did anything to me! What are you even talking about?

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

They did. [He takes the blond's hand and lays it against his heart, his own hand resting above it.] Please, remember who you are. Who you really are. I miss you... the children miss you. They ask for you every night. [He can't show them their mother like this. But only a few more months, and they can at least visit again.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

...Liet, we don't... we can't... [It's just not possible for them to have kids.]

We like, both knew that getting into this.

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[The pain in Toris's eyes is strong now, shock and a deep sadness coming together.] Please... I don't care about much else, but- don't forget our children.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

But...!

[This is really hurting Poland for a number of reasons. It's hard to be reminded of how they can't have kids together, and he doesn't like to see Liet so hurt, but he doesn't want to lie about this, can't just play along...]

I... L-Liet, you're... what you're talking about, it's... it's like, not real! This is who I am, and you--you said you'd always love me for that, and like... You know we don't have kids. You know we...

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[He digs into his pocket and produces a wallet, from which he produces a photograph. There are three people in it, Toris himself and two young children that are very clearly his and Felicja's.] Their names are Emilia and Casimier.

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Poland freezes. He's just... he can't even deal with this. There is a little girl with Liet's eye color and Liet's smile and hints of his own facial structure, and a little boy with wavy hair like Liet's and eyes that are his, and he wants it to be real so badly it hurts.]

... What...

[His hand shakes as he pushes the photograph gently away from himself.]

It's not real. It... Liet, why would you pretend something like that?

[NOT GOING TO CRY, NOT GOING TO CRY, NOT GOING TO CRY <\3 ;A;]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[Toris is built a bit closer to the water, he's already crying, though he tries to hold them back. It is painful, hurts so much to see his wife reject her children like this.] Darling, please... I thought... [He thought that she was getting better; that she was wearing a dress had certainly seemed like a good sign.]
