A couple of criminals get married and want it to be spring around them and get knocked up.

Lórien thinks this is sweet.

Eventually a criminal points out that if they can't commit any crimes at all then the Empire can arbitrarily control them by declaring things crimes.

Would the Empire do that?

Yes.

Gosh. Perhaps they could be made to not hurt people and not steal or damage property and not behave obscenely?

Maitimo asks Avalor how she thinks this dilemma is best solved.

"What does he mean obscenely?"

Shrug.

"Because we don't have the hair thing."

"I know you don't have the hair thing. I think it might be a reference to sex things but I've no idea more specifically."

"I don't know either, I'm two."

"Are we failing to get you a proper blue education or something -"

"Usually I would go to school."

"And what would they teach in school -"

"History and politics and languages and some general education stuff so we wouldn't be embarrassing and etiquette and stuff."

"We could maybe go to somewhere in range of a blue school and I could listen and watch and bounce it to you? And I could teach you the reading faces thing."

"That would be better than nothing but there is usually individual attention stuff."

"We could invite a teacher to come live in Valinor?"

"That might be good. Probably some of them lost their jobs. Because there are fewer blues now."

" - right." Sigh. "We can put out an advertisement."

And they do that.

They get a couple applications from teachers who have lost their jobs because there are fewer blues now.

They can look at them.

Avalor asks if she should just pick one or what.

"You could do that? Or try several? I don't know, I was just supposed to run around meeting all my subjects and listening in on the King."
