TIA:

Jesse …

TIA:

Jesse stop!

JESSE:

Dammit Tia - you can't keep doing this to me.

TIA:

It's just ... you're moving too fast ... I'm not ready. I'm sorry.

JESSE:

You're always sorry, a lot of freakin’ good that's doing me.

Sorry. I really didn't meant that.

TIA:

It's not easy for me you know. I’m just ... afraid.

JESSE:
Of me?

TIA:

Of everything, all of it. And now you’re mad at me.

JESSE:

No I’m not.

TIA:

Really?

JESSE:
I said I’m not.

TIA:

It’s late, I think I’ll go to bed.

JESSE:

Tia wait!

JESSE:

We’re good. I mean it's OK. Really. I can wait.

TIA:

You sure?

JESSE:

I wouldn't have said it if I didn’t mean it. Now come 

over here and give me a good night kiss.

JESSE:

... That's better. 

In Cammeo’s room ...

HERITA:

Ya dropped your bonnet.

CAMMEO:

Oh thank you.

CAMMEO:

You! What are you doing here? I told you to leave me be.

HERITA:

So ya did, but then, when 'ave I ever listened to you, sis?

CAMMEO:

You can speak!

HERITA:

That’s awfully rude of ya sis, and after all I've gone through to 

pay ya this visit. Did ya really think I wouldn’t find ya?

CAMMEO:

I hadn’t really thought about it.

HERITA:

Ya mean ya 'aven’t thought about me at all. Well I’m bloody well 'ere 

to remind ya. Silly girl, walking around so innocent and sweet, living this 

quaint li'l life of yours. Ya 'ave 'em all fooled don’t ya?

CAMMEO:

What’s that supposed to mean?

HERITA;

I’ve been watching ya, you and your boy.

CAMMEO:

You leave him be, you hear me. If you do anything to him I’ll …

HERITA:

I don’t need to do anything at all. You’re already doing it. Livin' a 

bleedin' lie like ya are. Tell me, does that boy of yours 

know 'is sweetheart's a cold-blooded killer?

CAMMEO:

Get out of here now!

HERITA:

‘Ave it your way. But remember, I'm getting stronger and soon ya 

won't be able to send me away. Oh and sis, if you won’t invite

 me in, I’ll find someone else who will.

CAMMEO:

Herita?

CAMMEO:

Oh my, this is  just dreadful.

In Mez, Zyfan and Jesse's room ...

JESSE:

You locked me out, so you and that vamp could do the wild thing . 

That kind of crap might fly in your palace but not here. You’re not 

gonna turn my room into some faerie-homo-sex-haven. From now 

on you better make other arrangements. Understand?

ZYFAN:

The other night? Oh Jesse I am so sorry. I had fogotten about you.

MEZ:

Hey guys can you do this another time? I'm sleeping here.

JESSE:

Sorry dude, didn't know you were up there.

ZYFAN:

We did not mean to wake you.

ZYFAN:

… And Jesse, I hope you will forgive me. I really am sorry.

JESSE:

Yeah - yeah, just don't let it happen again.

ZYFAN:

I will be sure of it. Well, it is getting late.

I must go to bed. I did not realize how tired I am.

JESSE:

‘Course you’re tired, you’re the only one getting laid around here.

 ZYFAN:

Laid?

JESSE:

Wait - I could be wrong. Is it possible that Mez and Cammeo are 

... What am I saying? Like that's ever gonna happen.

MEZ:
Hey!

JESSE:

I was right the first time. The only one getting any around

here - is the faerie. How friggin’ pathetic is that?

MEZ:

Jesse will you shut up and go to bed.

ZYFAN:

Jesse, why do insist upon calling me a faerie

when I have told you that I am an elf?

JESSE:

Yeah, right. Hey Zyfan can I ask you something? You and 

Karanthir, just how does that work exactly? I mean which one of

you is like the guy? Or do you take turns or something?

MEZ:

Oh my God.

JESSE:

Who are you kidding Mez? You’re curious too and you know it.

ZYFAN:

I have no intention of answering his question. It is 

 personal. I hope you do not take offense Jesse.

JESSE:
Whatever.

JESSE:

… Hey Mez, what do you mean 'not anymore’?

MEZ:

Nothing, forget about it.

JESSE:

Oh no. I think there’s a story there. So what is it Mez?

Something happen in California? C’mon you can tell us.

We won’t tell anyone, will we Zyfan?

MEZ:

G’night Jess.

ZYFAN:

Yes I think perhaps sleep would be best right now. Good night Jesse.

JESSE:

Yeah sure, I’ll find out sooner or later.
