Zyfan Karanthir Esmodonti
In the middle of the night in Zyfan and Karanthir’s room …
ZYFAN:
Do you hear that noise?
KARANTHIR:
So sorry my prince, my cell is vibrating.
ZYFAN:
Who would be calling at this hour?
KARANTHIR:
I’ll find out.
KARANTHIR:
… Hello?
ESMODONTI:
Blondie, baby!
KARANTHIR:
Es love, what a pleasant surprise. How are you?
ZYFAN:
It is Es?
ESMODONTI:
I'm fab! And I’m just tingling all over now that I'm talkin' to you.
I miss you and that pretty prince of yours so much. It's been
way too long and I just had to call and say hey.
KARANTHIR:
I'm thrilled that you did. It's invigorating to hear your voice again.
ZYFAN:
Does she know what time it is?
ESMODONTI:
Is that him? Oh - did I wake you? Sorry I just can’t get this time zone
thing straight. Did I catch ya at a bad time?
KARANTHIR:
No really. Just give me a sec …
KARANTHIR:
… I’ll just move into the living room. I don't want to keep you up,
well at least not for this.
ZYFAN:
But I do not want you to leave. Please continue your conversation.
You will not disturb me, truly.
KARANTHIR:
As you wish, but the least I can do is move to the chair.
KARANTHIR:
… Sorry love, now where were we?
ZYFAN:
Karanthir, what are you doing?
KARANTHIR:
Forgive me Es, hold on one more time.
KARANTHIR:
… What is it my prince?
ZYFAN:
You cannot speak to her like that. You will put on your robe.
KARANTHIR:
Silly me, what was I thinking? After all, it would be indecent
of me to be naked while on the phone. My prince,
you do realize she can't see me?
ZYFAN:
I know, but I prefer you to be covered up just the same.
KARANTHIR:
Only for you. Now, am I presentable?
ZYFAN:
Yes. Thank you.
KARANTHIR:
Thank you. Now please go to sleep. I won’t be long.
KARANTHIR:
Es love, you still there? Do forgive all these unintentional delays.
I simply must tell you that the prince was very definite about my not
speaking to you until properly covered up.
ESMODONTI:
Hahaha - so I caught you in one of your au natural moments.
Woo-hoo! Guess if I called a few minutes earlier
you'd have been too busy to pick up?
KARANTHIR:
You know me too well. Enough about my attire,
dare we discuss what you're wearing?
ESMODONTI:
Nice try Blondie. That Zyfan is too cute and he
has a point. I mean - you can't just sit there in the
raw with the one-eyed snake just dangling away.
KARANTHIR:
Really Es, I'm insulted. I'll have you know I never dangle,
especially when speaking with you.
ESMODONTI:
Oh you wicked boy. You flatter me. Hey I have news. I’ve got a
new man and he has business in Florida. The two of us are coming down tomorrow. I'm movin' back in with you. Isn't that fab!
KARANTHIR:
How marvelous - you and I together again. It shall be glorious.
Wait till I tell the prince. But first - I want hear more about this
new man, especially the good stuff and you know what I mean.
ESMODONTI:
It'll have to wait till I get there. Oh and do me a favor and give
that pretty prince of yours a big, wet, sloppy kiss for
me for waking him up. Aur voir.
KARANTHIR:
Will do. Ciao.
KARANTHIR:
… Hmmm … a big, fat, sloppy, wet kiss. What a simply brilliant suggestion.
KARANTHIR:
… Zyfan, sorry to wake you again but - this is from Es,
her way of apologizing for interrupting our sleep.
KARANTHIR:
… Is she forgiven?
ZYFAN:
Oh yes.
KARANTHIR:
Splendid. And not to be outdone, this one’s from moi.
