Trey Racolo - ? - Es Lithium
Early evening ...
TREY:
Hello Lu, did you inform everyone who needs to know -
that you're living here now?
LU:
I did, daddy.
TREY:
And … Racolo, what are you doing here?
RACOLO:
I live here.
TREY:
I thought you lived in San Francisco.
RACOLO:
I moved.
LU:
Daddy I thought you knew Racolo lived here. Perhaps it slipped your mind?
RACOLO:
Lu, he’s your father?
LU:
Yes. You didn't know?
RACOLO:
No.
TREY:
And the two of you know each other?
LU:
Daddy, in addition to the fact that, as of two days ago Racolo and I are house-mates, I'm the librarian at Magick School. He's
a student there and your assistant. Statistically speaking, it would
be unrealistic for us not to know each other one way or another.
ESMODONTI:
Aw Trey, right on time as usual. It just tickles me the way you're so punctual. Hey Lu - you liking the new digs?
LU:
Very much, thank you Es.
ESMODONTI:
That's just fab. So Roc, Lithium's all ready for bed-dy-bye. Oh and,
have ya met my new man - he's a professor. Pretty cool, right?
ESMODONTI:
… Trey, this is Roc, my elf-kins daddy.
Roc, you probably already know Lu, she's Trey's kid.
RACOLO:
You're going out with him?
ESMODONTI:
Uh-huh, we're doubling with Blondie and Zyfan.
That crazy vamp wants to get to know my new man better.
RACOLO:
You do know this is Professor Donado, my boss.
ESMODONTI:
Shut up! You mean your professor is my professor?
Trey you didn't tell me.
TREY:
I ah … well, I hope this isn't going to cause any problems.
LU:
Daddy, let me explain the situation to you. You're dating the ex-girlfriend of your protege, who happens to be the mother of his baby. Shall I provide a list of possibilities that could prove problematic for you? Or I could just simplify it with one word - awkward .
ESMODONTI:
Hey there's no reason for any weirdness here. Roc and I split
up like a million years ago. He's fine with all this. Ain't ya Roc?
RACOLO:
Sure. Fine.
ESMODONTI:
See? Like I said.
ESMODONTI:
… OK my little elf-kin, you go to daddy now.
TREY:
Wow - look at the time, we'd better get going.
RACOLO:
Yeah I wouldn't want you to be late or anything.
ESMODONTI:
Good night my sweet baby. Mama'll come see ya in the morning, promise. Let's go Trey.
ESMODONTI:
… Oh and Roc - don't wait up ...
LU:
I better be going too. Are you OK?
RACOLO:
I can't believe she's screwing my boss.
LU:
There's always the possibility that she's not, although
knowing daddy, it's highly unlikely. To be completely frank,
daddy's a real lady's man. Women just adore him.
