[ continued from here.

Prim had to laugh at that. ]

I don't think he'll be that hard to catch. I mean, I'm sure he'd like to meet you. I've met a lot of his family, and he already knows Dad and Theo...

[frost_jewel]

Yes, I heard he went to the men of the house first. I'm not that frightening, am I? Or perhaps Mother's the problem?

[Since she has already eaten, Mia stands behind Prim at the table and fiddles with her hair. The soft waves are something she has always envied and playing with them has led to quite a few creative looks for her sister.]

[prims]

You're positively terrifying.

[ Prim deadpans that for all of a second before bursting into giggles. ]

I think he has yet to meet Mother, too, actually...

[ Mia's hands on her hair are soothing. It brings back memories of childhood - her sister braiding her hair, playing with it. While Mia envies Prim's hair, Prim has always envied Mia's, a little. Hair that blue is pretty. ]

[frost_jewel]

Fear of our mother is something I can believe. It's a healthy state of mind. [Mrs. Rogers was a wonderful woman and a loving mother and her opinions were right there in front of anyone who crossed her.]

I can't wait to see you in your gown again. Will you try to wait until I get back from work?

[prims]

It is, especially for our beaus.

[ Because, well... ]

Of course I will. I don't think you ought to be getting back late enough that it would be a chore, you know.

[frost_jewel]

I don't think so, either, but it's so hard to tell these days. There's always a fight at the factory. [It gives her headaches to treat the same people day in and day out, just because they can't grasp the mindset of their working or striking coworkers.] The violence of some people, Rosie, promise me you'll do something with your life that doesn't involve seeing such pain all the time.

[prims]

[ ...Well... ]

I...want to do what you do, though. I mean...helping people, that way.

[frost_jewel]

Oh, you know better than to pay me any mind when I say things like that. [Prim's dreams belonged to her, after all.]

[prims]

Maybe, but...I hope someday we can work together, you know?

[frost_jewel]

[Finished half-braiding Rosie's hair, Mia tugs at the end before letting it all fall and untwirl itself.]

I hope so, too. And I don't want to see Theodore hurt, but imagine if he arrived to find both of us taking care of him.

[He's been in a few fights at school, about the way he chooses to live his life.]

[prims]

I can't decide if he'd laugh or what. But...I think he'd be proud of us after he finished saying whatever he'd say.

[ Prim grins back at her sister. ]

[frost_jewel]

I think he is proud of us already, and most certainly proud of you. [Mia glances between the table and the clock, frowning.] I should get ready to go, or I'll be late. If I don't make it home on time, have a wonderful night at the dance, all right?

[prims]

Of course, Mia! And you have a good time at work, okay?

[ It can't all be good, since she's a nurse, but...she knows Mia will know what she means. ]
