[Dorian smiles and gives a quaint wave a greeting before he addresses the network. His surroundings are smaller, not the modern trappings of his own office, but the stone masoned and naturally lit walls of his office at Fairy Tail.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to talk, today, about Time and, more specifically, the record thereof. You see, through quite a bit of research I'll not bore you with, I've determined the calendar utilized here correlates well enough with my own. The 10th month of the calendar used by Genessia and its environs began yesterday, at midnight. It is referred to as 'October'. In my own world, Frumentum or as it's referred to by the common folk "Harvestmere" will be beginning in roughly two days time. We have 12 months, divided into 30 days each. If Genessia continues on a path consistent with its previous course, its calendar year consists of 365 days, save for every 4th year, when some brilliant scholar ages ago realized they were losing time and devised a rough patching that's consisted into the present day. I've of course not been around here long enough to have experienced this mythical "leap year", but Genessia's calendar, along with many of its residents, seem to hail for "Earth". It's the "Roman" calendar, which is a rather interesting topic in regards to both Earth and Thedas, but, well...

[He clears his throat, turning his gaze to an open journal before him.] I digress grossly.

Last month on Thedas, we began the month with the Annum "All Souls Day", and it would seem there are several similar holidays at the end of this Genessian month. I've read about several of them, but I'm curious what your traditions are. In Thedas, the holiday is rather dour. We dress as ghosts and parade about at midnight, very sad. We don't even get a feast! What do you do?

[He wags his fingers.]

Good afternoon, Champion. I have a present for you.

Worried, are we?

[He taps his chin thoughtfully.]

Ah, good. Is that an invitation, then?

Worried that I'm doing something to deserve people asking me if my future babies are going to have little white tails even though I'm only 20 years old? Why would I ever be concerned about that?

[ Enjoy that little bit of sarcasm. She is definitely not ready for kids and she doesn't want to be yet and Dorian she knows wasn't implying that because he definitely wouldn't, but other people.. ]

I'd be happy to take you sometime, Dorian.

[He chuckles, smirking slightly.] To be fair, Weiss, you are doing someone that prods the question. Unless...humans in your world are unable to bear children at the age of 20? How odd...

[But he smiles at the change of subject.]

And I would be happy to accompany you.

Of course we can, I'd just rather not stop my life this young when I can have children ten years from now after I'm married.

[ And maybe after she's able to convince herself that she wouldn't be a terrible parent like both of hers are. But that's not something she's shared with anyone and not something she plans on sharing with anyone other than Sun, eventually. ]

Let me know when a good time is, then.

I never suggested otherwise, Weiss. Fear not. I am your least likely advocate for procreation.

[He inclined his head.]

My weekends tend to be more free.
