FIN:
A-m, are you certain everyone's here? I can't find Daprima.
Well Fin, there wasn’t enough room for everyone in my luggage. So, I ah
... had to get creative. There’s no easy way to prepare you so, here.
FIN:
Daprima! - But ... where’s the rest of her?
It’s on its way. Her body is due to arrive tomorrow via USPS.
Don’t look so glum, at least you’re together.
FIN:
Yeah, but this isn't the reunion I had in mind.
In the Living Room ...
MEZ:
Cammeo?
HERITA:
Guess again.
MEZ:
What do you want?
HERITA:
My, aren’t we snarky today? ‘as me sis told ya about me Edward yet?
MEZ:
What makes you think I even care?
HERITA:
'Cus ya been thinking on it ever since I mentioned it, 'aven’t ya?
CAMMEO:
Herita, more of your things have arrived and
... oh hello Mez, sorry - I didn’t see you.
HERITA:
That’s sad. Ya really ought to treat your boy better sis.
HERITA:
…Don’t want ‘im to think you're neglecting 'im. Wouldn't want that to 'appen now would ya? Did ya say more boxes? I’ll go ‘ave a look.
In the hall ...
HERITA:
You again! Wherever that boy is you’re not far behind are ya?
Get some sort of thrill watching ‘im, do ya?
IO:
The genie doesn’t know what that means.
HERITA:
Perhaps you’re not watching 'im at all. You’re guarding ‘im,
guarding ‘im from the likes of me - I suppose.
IO:
The genie serves the first clan.
HERITA:
Then the genie ‘as 'is work cut out for 'im, especially with that lil' bugger
Grace to look after. I don’t envy ya. Well, I've got me unpacking to get to.
Meanwhile in the kitchen ...
GRACE:
Hi Fin. I’ve been watching you. You’re acting very funny.
Looks like you lost something. I can help you find it, yes I can.
FIN:
That’s OK.
GRACE:
...Oh I see, you're playing hide and go seek. I love hide and go
seek, yes I do. Can I play? Who are we looking for?
FIN:
Have you seen Daprima’s head?
GRACE:
You mean you lost my sister’s head! She’s not going to like that, not
one bit. How could you lose a person's head? You better find it before
her body gets here or you'll be in big trouble, yes you will.
FIN:
I didn’t lose it. Someone must’ve taken it.
Will you just help me find it, please?
DAPRIMA:
Lose something, babe?
FIN:
Daprima! Oh am I glad to see you, and all in one piece too.
But you weren’t supposed to arrive till tomorrow.
DAPRIMA:
Would you rather I leave and come back?
FIN:
Hell no!
FIN:
…It’s been a very long month without you.
DAPRIMA:
Right back at ya.
GRACE:
Hi Daprima. I’m so glad you're back together and
in our new home, yes I am. What do you think of here?
DAPRIMA:
Grace, I did some shopping before I left New
York and bought you a few things. I put them in your room.
GRACE:
Did you really! Oh I better go see. Thank you.
FIN:
You handled that brilliantly.
DAPRIMA:
I try to think ahead. Are you going to show me
our new room or aren’t you?
FIN:
Right this way.
Then …
CAMMEO:
Mez, do you think I'm neglecting you? You must tell me if you do. I mean, did Herita say something to you?
MEZ:
She doesn’t really say anything at all. She hinted about how you
were into her boyfriend Edward, the one who made her a vampire.
CAMMEO:
Did you believe her?
MEZ:
Sometimes it’s like I don't know you at all. I mean you were
always this quiet, shy, girl who loves kids, cooking and plays a mean
violin. Then Herita shows up and I find out you’re this ex-vampire slayer.
CAMMEO:
Seeker. The word is Seeker.
MEZ:
Same difference.
CAMMEO:
And I'm still all the things you said.
CAMMEO:
… I never fancied Edward, just the opposite. I remember thinking him quite slippery. Herita had it in her head that I was jealous of her.
CAMMEO:
... Mez, you really ought to stay away from her until I figure her out.
MEZ:
That's gonna be hard to do since we live in the same house. She
sure is weird. She isn’t a vampire anymore so what’s the big deal?
CAMMEO:
She’s just ... very clever.
MEZ:
And I’m not.
CAMMEO:
No, you’re just so… trusting, and I don’t want her
and her half truths coming between us.
MEZ:
That’s not gonna happen.
CAMMEO:
Promise?
MEZ:
Promise.
GRACE:
calling from down the hall
Cammeo ... Oh Cammeo!
MEZ:
Oh great ...
CAMMEO:
Hush Mez, she’s your little sister.
MEZ:
Yeah, sometimes I feel like I have too many sisters.
GRACE:
Cammeo look, oh hello Mez. Daprima bought me a
new shirt, yes she did. Look.
CAMMEO:
My, that’s lovely.
GRACE:
See, it’s got Hello Kitty on it and it’s pink.
Pink is my favorite color, yes it is.
MEZ:
We know.
GRACE:
I have to show Syrrah now, yes I do.
Grace leaves.
CAMMEO:
Oh Mez, Grace is so wonderful.
MEZ:
Really?
CAMMEO:
I love her enthusiasm, yes I do.
