[around 1 p.m., no matter where you might be at the time, a text message and a photo attachment are sent to every CAT unit and read as follows:]
To celebrate the septicentennial of Luministi's founding, all new residents have been invited to a special dinner just for them at the newly opened treehouse restaurant known as The Chrysalis. This

No, no, don't worry. You look very nice.
I'm guessing that the uniform is from Latvia? (Now that is a statement of the obvious.)
I'm wearing clothes from my country too. It's... oddly amazing what they have available to buy here.

Umm.. it's my own special uniform. Y.. you see... I don't want to scare my people... if they see me in the streets, I would not really blend in that well, but if I was wearing an army uniform... they might get upset that I was too young to fight ja?
[he laughs lightly and takes a drink from his coke, even if it is a little flat for his liking now.]
Ja, they seem to have a lot of things, but... I'm a little shy to go in to the shops to be honest...

[Aww, who could ever imagine little Raivis as scary? But she feels she could somewhat understand not wanting to show a military face when at peace. And he most certainly looks too young to fight. (But then, doesn't she herself?)]
[She's a little surprised that he is shy -of all things - to go into the shops!]
Well, if you would like to go, I'd be happy to come with you! Shopping is much more fun with company anyways!

R.. really?
[He grins wide at that, his eyes lighting up hopefully.]
Y... you'd really... really go in with me? Seriously?
[It's almost as if he's expecting her to say no. To claim it was all a joke.]

[Ohh~ how his eyes lit up, she couldn't help herself. She reaches over to fluff Raivis' hair.]
Of course! And I always mean what I say. [Firm nod.] It sounds like we'll have some nice free time during this festival, so we'll go together.

Thank you...
[He glances at her curiously for a moment when she blushes, was she embarrassed, at paying him a compliment? How strange, he offers her a soft smile aimed just at her in the hopes that that will help her not feel so awkward, even if her stammering like he normally does is quite amusing for the young Baltic.]
Thank you very much. This is my people's uniform at the moment ja? I think it suits me quite well.
[He doesn't mind being called a prince, it really does seem to be the closest equivalent anyone here has of what he is, he supposes his boss would probably be called the King to their standards.]

[The small Baltic smiles gently at the thought of a world where fighting and war is no longer a necessary thing. A soft sigh escapes his mouth before he brings himself back to reality again.]
Right now though, where I live, we are in the very middle of a big war, I know Russia hopes to join Germany and aid him in fighting, unless...
[He thinks for a moment, biting his lower lip slightly as he realises he has no way of knowing how much time has passed in his own world, or even if any time is passing at all, this entire thing is far too strange for him to work out, it's like something right out of a fantasy novel.]
Unless he's already done so... if that's the case, I guess I won't be meeting Ludwig any time soon...

[ Damn. How was he supposed to explain this one? Appearance wise he was fifteen, he knew that, certainly as far as the other countries were concerned that was all he was as well, but... well, countries age differently to people. That was all that was to it. How best to explain.. besides, he wasn't sure he could even fully recall how long he'd been on his planet for now.]
I'm... I'm not quite sure how to answer that... I'm sorry...
[He looks at her, frowning for a moment in response to hers, then softly he smiles.]
I guess best answer... I'm young for a country and old for a person ja?
