Mez Cammeo Esmodonti Fin Daprima Zyfan Shichi
Tuesday evening ...
MEZ:
Cammeo, did you know Es is back?
CAMMEO:
I do.
MEZ:
Isn't it great to see her again?
CAMMEO:
I suppose.
MEZ:
You don't sound very happy about it.
CAMMEO:
I’m not unhappy about it but, well, it's rather embarrassing …
MEZ:
Tell me.
CAMMEO:
When she greeted me … she pinched my bum.
MEZ:
She … Hahahaha ...
CAMMEO:
It isn't funny. She shouldn't ‘ave done that.
MEZ:
She pinched my bum too.
CAMMEO:
No! Really?
MEZ:
Uh-huh. She got Zyfan too. Hey at least she doesn't play favorites.
CAMMEO:
She certainly has nerve.
MEZ:
She's Es, that's just the way she is.
CAMMEO:
That's no excuse. Someone really needs to straighten her out.
MEZ:
Go ahead.
CAMMEO:
Me? I'd rather not, I mean - what if she does it again?
MEZ:
She probably will.
CAMMEO:
Exactly.
In the living room ...
ESMODONTI:
… Daprima. Fin. How're ya doin'?
FIN:
Hi Es, we've been expecting you.
DAPRIMA:
whispers
Hurry babe, sit down.
FIN:
Why?
DAPRIMA:
Trust me.
DAPRIMA:
… Es, how was your trip?
ESMODONTI:
Just fab. My new squeeze knew of this magical portal, so all we had to do
was walk right on through. California to Florida in just a jif. Cool, huh?
DAPRIMA:
Very. Where is he now?
ESMODONTI:
Around somewhere. Don't worry, he ain't movin' in. He has his own pad but
he does have a kid who needs a place to crash. I told her to come see you.
She's grown and has a job so I thought it'd be OK.
DAPRIMA:
The librarian at Magick School?
ESMODONTI:
That's her. How'd you know? Oh that's right, you have that
clairvoyancy thing going on. Can't keep anything from you.
DAPRIMA:
Actually, Qualina told me.
ZYFAN:
Excuse me, Es, Karanthir wanted me to tell you that he is
entertaining Trey in the dining room.
ESMODONTI:
Oh that Blondie, he just couldn't wait to make time with my man.
I guess it'll be OK, for a while. Ooh cherie, who's that with ya?
Ain't ya gonna introduce us?
ZYFAN:
Forgive me, Es this is Shichi.
ESMODONTI:
Ooh la la - so you're the newbie Blondie told me about.
SHICHI:
I've heard good things about you.
FIN:
Shichi's an old friend of mine and Karanthir's. We go way back.
ESMODONTI:
Very cool.
SHICHI:
Woa!
ESMODONTI:
Really a pleasure, hon.
SHICHI:
Apparently.
ESMODONTI:
And doncha worry Zyfan - you're still the firmest of them all.
FIN:
I spoke with Racolo and they'll be arriving Saturday. It sure
will be nice to have everyone living under the same roof again.
ESMODONTI:
You betcha! I can't wait to see my little elf-kin again.
Shichi, ya got any babies?
SHICHI:
Not that I know of ...
ESMODONTI:
Ya gotta have one, they're too fab ...
ESMODONTI:
Like, my little elf-kin, Lithium - he's the real love of my life.
He's with his daddy right now ...
ESMODONTI:
That'd be my ex, Roc. We ain't together anymore but
we play nice when we're with Lith.
ZYFAN:
I am looking forward to seeing them both. Did you know that when I
attended Magick School, Racolo was my room mate?
ZYFAN:
… That is where we met and became friends.
SHICHI:
I attended Magick School too. Perhaps I know him?
ESMODONTI:
Wouldn't that be cool! His kid brother goes there too ...
ESMODONTI:
Aless. He's just the sweetest little dude you’ll ever meet ...
ESMODONTI:
And then there's Qualina, my elf-kin's great-grandma.
Roc and Aless accidentally magicked her forward in time.
DAPRIMA:
They were looking for an old magic book of hers. I don't think they
ever found it. Qualina, in her later years, will become a powerful
sorceress, but she arrived here with her powers still in their infancy.
ESMODONTI:
Roc really wants to send her back too, but she won't go.
And look out when the two of them go at it. Aless and me just run for cover. Poor Roc, what's he gonna do - can't really argue with grandma, can ya? Anyway that's the family scoop.
SHICHI:
I'm looking forward to meeting to them.
