[ spaghetti and meatball ] &.
"The waiters serving the dish said it is meant to be shared."
Ivy extends the plate of pasta and the singular meatball to Laslow — an offering of dinner.
"Laslow, was it? I learned your name from the staff directory. You never left it with me. I am Ivy, a professor with the Black Eagles."
Ivy glances about, searching for a fork or a spoon or at the very least a toothpick of which to eat to no avail. It does not look as though anyone else has any silverware in hand, either...
"I have not wholly familiarized myself with Fódlan's traditions yet," she says, "but surely they do not expect us to eat this with our hands?"
"Is that so?" He teases back, eyeing first the dish and then her lovely face. She's even lovelier than the last time they met, all done up in her dancing best.
"Ah, pardon my awful manners! I was a bit caught up in the moment, that's all." Laslow flicks his cape aside, bending at the waist in an elegant bow. "Alas, I have no mountain's worth of gold. Just enough for a cup of tea."
Straightening, he grins. "Truly a pleasure to meet you, Lady Ivy."
Shoulders lift in a small shrug. Mischief lights in his eyes as he leans in a little closer. "Weeeeeeell, not exactly. You see, there's a tradition some couples observe." Now his face heats, but he presses on. "Where each person takes one end of a noodle in their mouths, then meet in the middle."
His eyes drop from Ivy, suddenly rather interested in the lone meatball. He coughs. "But I'm sure you expected a far fancier dinner than some silly old tradition!"

Okay galaxy brain headcanon time. So Tommy's name tag in season two said Kincaid not Kinard. Maybe that was his original last name but he changed it when he finally cut contact with his dad - or his last name was something else entirely. He turns 18, says fuck you dad, changes his name from Thomas X to "just Tommy" Kincaid, joins the army and Tommy 2.0s himself, then years later he's like "i wanna be a pilot", im gay, no dad fuck off, new life, new me, new name, new station. Tommy Kinard is Tommy 3.0.
Tommy 4.0 is of course marriage to this hot firefighter named Evan and that means new name once again, but maybe with a hyphen this time.
Heyyy Anon!
First, I just want to say, well fucking done on catching that! I had to do a bit of research on this ask cause I, for one, missed it!
So, here's S2 Tommy in all his selfie glory:
And if we zoom in... that name tag does in fact say, Kincaid:
BUT... I think it's just a costuming error because I went back to watch the "Begin" episodes and everyone calls him "Kinard" and it's the name on his turn-out.
However, I do like the idea of an evolution of Tommy Kinard, so here's my two cents inspired by your two cents!
You can change your name at 16, and I agree he changed his legal name from Thomas to just Tommy. I imagine his father called him Thomas, and I believe that was a sore spot throughout his childhood.
Thomas can't do anything right.
Tommy can sneak out at night.
Thomas was a mistake.
Tommy has friends at school.
So, I believe Tommy joined the military the day after he graduated from high school, which would potentially make him 18. And he never saw his father again after this. A quick Google search let me know that the Army is actually the only branch of the military where you only need a high school diploma to become a pilot. So after completing basic training and the other requirements to become an Army pilot, Tommy could have potential received his pilot's license in roughly 2 years.
I'm not going into time served in the Army, so let's move on...
Thus, Tommy 2.0 is born.
He lands in LA, buys a house, and decides to join the LAFD, where he meets Captian Gerrard and Sal DeLuca. This ultimately shoves him into Tommy 3.0, which is the version of himself that I believe he hates the most.
He's wrestling with feelings he's always had but knows they're "wrong" in certain people's eyes and so I believe his first years at the 118 Tommy has never felt more like his father.
And he hates it. Despises himself even.
So, when Chim shows up, Tommy has this massive wall up, built by self-hatred and sadness. But then, Chim saves his life. And that wall begins to chip away, bit by bit.
We see the wall has almost completely crumbled when Hen arrives but with Captian Gerrard there he's prepared to put up barriers again.
Until Hen gives her speech.
I believe that speech cracked open Tommy 3.5. Maybe not someone who's ready to stand up and preach his truth in front of everyone but definitely someone who knows it's time to help be a part of the solution.
When Bobby shows up, Tommy is sailing nicely into Tommy 4.0. He's happy, he has friends that he can go out to drink with, and for the first time in his life, I think he's starting to feel as if he actually could belong somewhere.
Lou has said that Tommy likes to fly because it's his way to feel free and escape his problems. And I believe that with the happiness Tommy has found at the 118, his displeasure of not feeling true to himself is harder to ignore.
So, he transfers and stops lying to himself. New station, New him right? He gers the freedom of flying and being open about his sexuality.
Tommy 4.0 is officially here.
Then, years later, after a really bad breakup that left him ready to give up on the idea of ever finding love, he finds it in the most adorable ally that helped steal his helicopter, Evan Buckley.
And that's when Tommy Kinard finally finds the place where he belongs.

The Associated Press: After blaming his 2020 loss on mail balloting, Trump tries to make GOP voters believe it's OK now
I wouldn't trust a Republikkkan if they told me that a chicken had crossed the road...
The GOP is the most disreputable & greedy senators ever elected in U.S. history!!
Republikkkans won't stop until they destroy our country - 1 state at the time, if need be...
That's why I don't trust their flip- flopping on mail-in voting.
The GOP already claim to have a 'lead' in mail-in voters, ahead of the true election.
That way, I guess, they can claim a 'stolen win' - in case they do lose...
But, it's just proven criminals moving #s around.
The Rump Kissers could also 'flood' the polls with 'registered' votes that their agents actually added in...
Don't believe any Republikkkan lies - that's all they do nowadays.
LIE.
Big Time...
And, all of the time.
