[The Doc's video today is prefaced by a little precautionary message.]
Everyone, stay away from the floodwater. I'd tell you the sort of water and vector-borne diseases you could get but you probably want to take my word for it. If you have come in contact with the water, I'd recommend seeing me for a checkup.
[After that Public Service Announcement, Kiriko motions to a book in his lap. It's a Russian history book he managed to take from the library some time ago, and around him are a few modern ones he's received over time. It appears his Russian has gotten quite good.]
You know... I've been reading these a lot, lately. The world history is more or less the same as what I learned when I was younger...
But... [He laughs nervously.] It's weird. I can't bring myself to read past when I'm from. What if I find out someone I know is dead, or we lost the war? Or worse?
[He understands now how Elizabeth must have felt when he mentioned England. He realizes he shouldn't have done it, now.]
I mean, for most of you, it's probably no big deal. You already know.
[He closes the books, and puts them to the side.]
I don't think I want to.

But to his apology, she shakes her head and brushes it off. She's tired still, for all of Raven's good work, she's... still bone weary from her drinking and from her thoughts and it makes her smile weak.]
There are far worse crimes, and you gave me good news. What Queen wouldn't want to hear that her country still flourishes?
no subject
I should have been thinking ahead, though. I was rude. Though I'm thankful you're not angry.
Ah- my lady.
[He adds that in quickly, he's not trying to be impolite.]
no subject
[Or killing a family member. But she has so few of those left.]
If I were ever angry, my lord, you would of known straight away. I do not mask those things well. As it is... I am just in the same place you are. Dread and curiosity in equal measure. But thank you for thinking of me at all.
