L: So, what's on your list for today, Ruffa? R: Workwise? or Lifewise, Lawrence? L: Workwise it would make more sense if were on the same shifts in the same Platoon. I'm sure the Chief would be agreeable to one of us swapping our uniform. R: But, apart from just being company for each other here, was there any other reason on your mind? L: That will depend very much on you. R:A change of living status, perhaps? L: Life changing. And things are quiet. I've been thinking about it for some time. R: Our Life Partnership, perhaps? L: Yes. Will you accept me as your Life Partner,Ruffa? R: (laughing) - of course I will! Why has it taken you so long to propose? L: (shuffles feet and looks a little embarassed) Well, - R: Shall we visit the Commissioner and make a formal request for the Life Partnership Ceremony? L: (sighs) Yes, yes. And hope, thinks Ruffa, that nothing happens to disturb the peace for a while. [The Commissioner has already decided to promote both of them to the rank of Sergeant - that, he thinks, on hearing their news, makes a nice Partnership present.] [Place your bets, gentlemen, on their chances for a quiet week and a relaxing honymoon ...] Ruffa came from RDNA; Lawrence ... no idea, but the ReadMe says HeRaZa.
