289 - Sassed

Esmodonti      Racolo                            

Monday afternoon in Racolo’s office at Magick School …
















ESMODONTI: 

… And how does the necklace work?





















RACOLO:
When Lithium has it on, it stops him from blinking. 
















ESMODONTI:
So it blocks him from using his magic, huh? You
told me it wasn’t good to turn off his magic.


RACOLO:
It would only be temporary. We can always take it off of him.


ESMODONTI:
And it belonged to Harmonia, like when she was a kid?


RACOLO:
That’s what Lu told me.
















ESMODONTI:
I like Harmonia but that chic is nuts. How do we know this  
isn’t the reason she’s so wacky?


RACOLO:
That necklace isn’t the cause of her …





















ESMODONTI:
You just said she wore it when she was a kid. That means 

she couldn’t use her magic then, and now  
her magic explodes out of her.
















RACOLO:
Explodes out of her?


ESMODONTI:
You know what I mean. She’s powerful. I can feel it when
I’m near her. I just don’t want that happening
to my … our little elf kin.





















RACOLO:
Look, I only brought it up so we could decide together.
If you hate the idea then forget it. He won’t wear it. 
















ESMODONTI:
Yeah, but then Lith can blink whenever he wants to
and I don’t want him doing that either.


RACOLO:
Are you trying to drive me crazy?


ESMODONTI:
I’m just thinking out loud.
















RACOLO:

We don’t have to make a decision right now. It’s just an option. 


ESMODONTI:
You’re really asking my opinion on this?


RACOLO:
He’s your kid too.
















ESMODONTI:

I just thought that since magic was your thing you’d …


RACOLO:
I’d what?


ESMODONTI
Nothing. It’s cool. Like you said, we don’t have to decide
right now. I’m done sassing ya.
















RACOLO:

Sassing me?


ESMODONTI:
You know what I mean …


RACOLO:
You’re sassing me?
















ESMODONTI:
Yeah and I’m trying not to do that,
anymore. Are you laughing at me?


RACOLO:
I just didn’t know that was the word for it.


ESMODONTI:
It’s not funny. I’m making an effort here
and you go and make fun of me.
















RACOLO:
You got it all wrong. You keep me on my toes by second 

guessing me. This verbal bantering that we do, no one does it

better. You’re just … amazing and - marry me Es.





















ESMODONTI:
Wait, what? Hey - was that a question or a demand?


RACOLO:
Which one gets me the answer I want?


ESMODONTI:

If ya really wanna know, then you’ll have to ask the question.
















RACOLO:
This isn’t how I planned this.


ESMODONTI:
Oh no ya don’t, no turning back now.
I’m waiting for my question.
















RACOLO:
You’re really gonna make me do this?


ESMODONTI:
That’s not the question I wanna hear right now.


RACOLO:
Fine. I’ll give you the works.
















ESMODONTI:

Holy crap!





















RACOLO:
Es, I love you, I never stopped loving you and never will.
Will you marry me … and sass me forever more?
















ESMODONTI:
I sure will! Oh Roc - I love you too. I really really do.


































ESMODONTI:
I can’t believe you just did that! We’re like - engaged. Can you dig it!


RACOLO:
That reminds me, I have something for you. It’s in my desk.
















ESMODONTI:
Ya actually got me a ring? You really were planning something!


RACOLO:
Qualina left this for you, for me, for us. I was gonna have the
stone reset but I know you’re not into rings …
















ESMODONTI:

Oh Roc, it’s beautiful. But it’ too big for a ring, for me anyway.
















ESMODONTI:
… And I think it’s perfect as is.
