“The festival of The Virgin?” Bill asked sceptically.
“Yes, it’s a large celebration on Virgon commemorating the virgin goddesses. Unmarried, chaste women are pampered and paraded through their towns, couples are encouraged to practice abstinence for the four day festival,” Laura explained.
“But we’re not on Virgon,” Bill reasoned.
“No, but Tory thinks it’s important to recognize all major festivals for each of the colonies. She thinks it will be good for Fleet morale and I am inclined to agree. It won’t be the full four days long, just a simple broadcast over the wireless out of respect for tradition and the Virgonese,” Laura insisted.
“No parading people through corridors?” Bill clarified.
“Your corridors will remain parade free.” Laura rolled her eyes and laughed. “I promise.”
“Right, and the other part?” Bill asked nervously.
“Which other part?” Laura responded cheekily.
“The abstinence bit. We’re definitely not practicing that, right?” He looked pleadingly at her.
“Hmm, I don’t know Bill. It’s good luck to pay tribute to the virgin goddesses during-“
He cut her off with a quick, passionate kiss, which she returned happily.
“Now when can we celebrate that Scorpian holiday?” he asked with an infuriating amount of pride. “The one where the women dance naked in front of a fire in the middle of the street?”
Laura arched her brow at him. “You’re making that up. Scorpia doesn’t have any public nude festivals.”
“I wasn’t proposing that we celebrate it in public.”
“Bill,” she warned.
“Fine, you can have access to Galactica’s wireless for the Virgon festival. But I demand a one on one celebration afterwards,” he growled.
“Oh? What for?” she asked.
“Got to pay tribute to my patron goddess,” he said simply. “And I’ll need all evening to worship her properly.”
