There's blood! My Lizzie! Oh, I don't know what to do!

[disinherits]

[ooooh man.]

Edward...

[Fighting from slapping herself in the forehead right now.]

[tsuninlaw]

The sheets! She's crying! What happened?!

[disinherits]

She is fine.

[Her tone is insistent, but she does sound thoroughly mortified.]

[tsuninlaw]

She is anything but fine! She must have some sort of illness! Oh, what if she dies from blood loss?! Vanessa!

[disinherits]

[She briefly covers her face with her hand. Ugh.]

Edward, are you honestly not aware at all of what's happening to her right now?

[tsuninlaw]

NO!

[disinherits]

[Slowly:]

Every woman bleeds like this when she comes of age.

[tsuninlaw]

_{[...Give him a moment.]}

W-WHAT?!

[disinherits]

D-do we really have to have this conversation over the phone?!

[tsuninlaw]

N-No...but...you will explain to me what's wrong, won't you? And to poor Lizzie? We're both a right mess.

[disinherits]

This is something her mother should be teaching her...

[She answers with a small, drained sigh.]

[tsuninlaw]

Maybe she did! I don't know! How am I to know whether our mother told her or not?! I'm a boy!

[disinherits]

YOU ARE A MAN OF A NOBLE HOUSE AND YOU SHOULD BE MORE AWARE OF THESE SORTS OF THINGS!

[And here comes the screaming.]

[tsuninlaw]

HOW AM I TO BE AWARE IF I WAS NEVER TAUGHT?!

_{[C'mon Vanessa, give him a break. It's not like there's sex ed readily available.]}

[disinherits]

[NOT THE POINT!!]

That's no excuse!
