In the living room ...
FIN:
… Daprima, there’s something you need to know. It happened a long time ago. I didn’t think it was important, until now. Anyway, I want you to hear it from me.
DAPRIMA:
OK.
FIN:
Let me start with … one of our new housemates is
an old friend of mine. Have you met Shichi?
- FLASH -
FIN:
Daprima what's wrong?
FIN:
Are you alright?
DAPRIMA:
I think so. I just received some really vivid visions.
It was you … with a long eared elf …
FIN:
That would be Shichi.
DAPRIMA:
Your old friend? I don't think so.
Babe, you told me you were never into guys.
FIN:
When I told you that it was true, still is. Shichi and I were
– are just friends, but there was this one time, and it just happened.
DAPRIMA:
I know. I just saw it.
FIN:
Let me explain - it was when Karanthir was trapped inside that sorceress’ castle. I couldn't get to him. It was really rough.
DAPRIMA:
Was Shichi the one who helped you rescue him?
FIN:
Yes. He's proven to be a really good friend.
FIN:
… Anyway, Karanthir just found out about it. He said I cheated on you.
I never thought of it that way. You and me, we were still living in separate realms. We weren't as tight as we are now. And it really isn't something I think about, I mean the thing with Shichi, or I would have told you sooner.
DAPRIMA:
Babe, that was a long time ago. I was still in high school and we were really just pen-pals. Did you think I wasn't seeing other guys?
FIN:
I never thought about it.
DAPRIMA:
Well, I’m certainly not going to hold this Shichi thing against you.
If you’re looking for forgiveness – you have it. There, feel better?
FIN:
Actually I do.
DAPRIMA:
You're so darn cute.
FIN:
So, about these other guys ….
DAPRIMA:
Hahaha – babe you’re priceless. That's not important.
I want to hear more about your travels with Shichi.
FIN:
OK but there's not much to tell. Karanthir and I were staying in
a small village. I landed a job in an orchard and he went to school.
Shichi worked with me picking apples. When the job ended ...
DAPRIMA:
Shichi just happened to be going in the same direction as you.
FIN:
Not exactly. When I got back to the inn where we were staying …
- FLASH -
DAPRIMA:
You walked in on them!
FIN:
Yes and … You're seeing this, aren’t you?
DAPRIMA:
Uh-huh. Karanthir looked almost pleased when you caught them.
FIN:
Yeah, I was always catching him. It was a big game to him.
You really saw them?
DAPRIMA:
Let me put it this way - Karanthir looks very pretty with long hair.
SHICHI:
Oh hi … Sorry. I didn’t know anyone was in here. I thought I saw ...
SHICHI:
... What is it? You're looking at me as if - is my fly open?
FIN:
Daprima this is Shichi.
DAPRIMA:
Hi.
SHICHI:
Hi. I’ve heard so much about you.
FIN:
Who are you looking for?
SHICHI:
Chinatsu. Have you seen her?
FIN:
Sorry.
SHICHI:
I could’ve sworn I saw her heading in this direction. It was nice
meeting you Daprima. Sorry but I have to go.
DAPRIMA:
Who's Chinatsu?
FIN:
Vanni's sister. She moved in before I arrived.
DAPRIMA:
He really has the hots for her. And he isn’t too bad on the eyes either. I can see why you went for him.
FIN:
I didn’t go for him.
DAPRIMA:
Sure you did. You let him seduce you, like this …
FIN:
Daprima what’s gotten into you?
DAPRIMA:
Babe, I’ve been seeing hot boys all afternoon. Let’s just say I’m over stimulated.
