W-well, once I find a layout, I would have progressed!

Do your best.

.........

...?

Perhaps I should just, pick a half decent one and be done with it.

Too much trouble?

Yes, there's 1873 layouts available to look through

I don't think I'm even half way.

Maybe your standards are too high...

...

...i-is that a bad thing?

Sometimes. ...

...

Except when you are picking a man. Do not lower your standards, or dai goh will not be impressed.

...I'll keep that in mind, Em. (that sounds like a hassle too...

... Would you rather choose layouts or choose men?

...Layouts.

Even 1873 of them?

With layouts, if we choose wrong, we can pick another.

I don't think it works that way with men...

... You don't have to marry them right away, jie.

Ah...

It will still be awkward?

I will create a distraction, so that you will be able to escape.

Eventually.

I didn't know Vietnam was getting married!

You should keep up. Everybody knows by now.

Well, how was I suppose to know? I had a stuff to do!

But now I'm jealous...

I'm no beginner!

W-what? No I am not getting married!

taiwanization You want to be married?

mccol You're too experienced.

dawnlotus Aren't you?

Not at all! I thought we were discussing if I had to change my mind.

I can teach you some of the new moves I've created.

dawnlotus: And it led to marriage. Somehow.

mccol Are they difficult to learn?

Somehow. But just to make it clear, I'm not getting married and there is no one.

Yet. You are not getting married, because there is no one yet.

...Point.

But I doubt there will be, you said I had to be selective with men.

Very selective. But not impossible. There are some better candidates that you can consider.

Are there now? Not that I am interested.

There are. Aren't you?

Though I'm curious who you have in mind, I'm not interested in finding someone, if that makes sense...

You want to grow old alone?

Like China?

...

...H-how about you? I'm not changing the subject just curious.

I'll find someone eventually.

I wish you luck then! But you have to let us meet her first.

... Do I?

Yes, I want to see if she is an upstanding woman.

You're married?!

Then who are you with?

...Oh.

Well I guess pets are fine too.

dawnlotus: You don't trust me to pick an upstanding woman?

sonofheaven: Panda doesn't count.

No no! I trust you, but...I want to double check.

dawnlotus: ... double check.

sonofheaven: Not in this discussion.

Double check. Is she after your money?

(double check with oar in hand 8|)

... You think I might be chased by a gold digger?

(terrifying.)

Yes, some of the girls can smart and sweet, but it's all a lie.

(sshhhhh it is just a precaution)

dawnlotus: I think I can recognize them...

sonofheaven: Still too early to be making wedding plans.

(sonofheaven: So he doesn't end up alone like you?)

And he doesn't have a girl yet.

... I'm not that young.

We all look young in his eyes.

Because he's ancient...

So I suppose comparatively, it's true, we are *much* younger than he is.

Age is not that important...

It is to China, he's too old now.

Too old for marriage?

She has to look like Shinatty-chan.

... She has to look better than Shinatty...

Or so we hope.
