111 - Stuck With You
2007
Wednesday ...
FIN:
Orrie what are you doing here all alone?
ORRIE:
Waiting for K’ranthir.
FIN:
He’s probably still in bed. You know he sleeps late.
ORRIE:
Not today. Him not in his new room.
FIN:
What do you mean he’s not there? Did it look
like his bed was slept in?
ORRIE:
Nope.
FIN:
Do you mean he didn’t come home last night?
Where could he have gone?
ORRIE:
He likes the cemetery. Goes there to think.
‘Specially after you and him fight.
FIN:
We didn’t have a fight. OK - so we did. The cemetery - you’re sure?
ORRIE:
Yup. Told me so. Took me there once.
FIN:
He did?
ORRIE:
Yup. Didn’t like it. Too spooky.
DAPRIMA:
Hey babe, I'm ready. Orrie we're going out to
breakfast, want to come with us?
ORRIE:
Nope. Want K’ranthir.
KARANTHIR:
… And this is the living room. How nice of you all to be here to wish me
good morning. Herita allow me to introduce you to my brothers, Fin and
Orrie, and that’s the lovely Daprima. Herita’s moving in with us.
FIN:
Oh - hello, it's nice to meet you.
ORRIE:
K'ranthir I was looking for you.
KARANTHIR:
And now you’ve found me.
ORRIE:
You were in the cemetery - right?
KARANTHIR:
Indeed I did, and that's where I met Herita. Come along and I'll
tell you all about it over breakfast. I’m simply famished. Now be a
good boy and say hello to our new house mate.
ORRIE:
Hi. You having breakfast with us?
HERITA:
Are ya inviting me?
KARANTHIR:
Tell her yes Orrie, she has a thing about being properly invited.
ORRIE:
OK, I invite you.
FIN:
Uh Karanthir, can I have a word with you?
KARANTHIR:
Really? Must I suffer through another one of your talks, dear brother?
FIN:
It'll only take a second.
KARANTHIR;
Oh very well.
FIN:
I want to apologize for what I said yesterday.
I just want us to be OK. OK?
KARANTHIR:
Of course we’re OK. You're my brother and, to put it simply
- I’m stuck with you, so I may as well make the best of it.
KARANTHIR:
... Now, if we're finished I’d like to have my breakfast, see my
prince, and have a nap - not necessarily in that order.
ORRIE:
... K’ranthir guess what?
KARANTHIR:
What is it now?
ORRIE:
We have a wall … Fin build-ed it for you.
KARANTHIR:
Why Fin, you built me my wall? You really did feel bad about
yesterday. I certainly hope you didn't lose any sleep over it. Still,
that was awfully sweet of you and I appreciate it.
KARANTHIR:
... Come Herita, let's go eat and Orrie can tell
me all about the building of my wall.
FIN:
Daprima, you’ve been so quiet. Anything wrong?
DAPRIMA:
That’s Cammeo’s dead twin sister.
FIN:
What? How can that be?
