Early evening …

FIN:

… Last night was great. It's been a long time since we all went out together.

KARANTHIR:

As much as I would like to take credit for the idea, it was Es who suggested it.

She wanted the prince and myself to go on a double date with her and Trey.

Then Zyfan thought you and Daprima would like to join us too.

FIN:

Glad he did. I had a lot of fun, so did Daprima.

KARANTHIR:
Yes, it was quite invigorating.

KARANTHIR:

… So tell me, what do you think of Trey?

FIN:

He seems nice enough.

KARANTHIR:
You didn't you find him … familiar?

FIN:

No. Why?

KARANTHIR:
Yes. It feels as if it were ... long ago and ... elsewhere. It's the oddest thing. I must admit it's been driving me to distraction.

KARANTHIR:
- You're certain you don't know him?

FIN:

I can't think how I would ...

ESMODONTI:

Why it's Fin and Blondie, the prettiest boys around.

KARANTHIR:

Es love, we were just talking about last night.

ESMODONTI:

I know, I heard ya.

FIN:

You weren't eavesdropping on us, were you? 

ESMODONTI:

Aw hon - not on purpose, but then I heard my

man's name and these pointy ears perked on up.

KARANTHIR:
I'm sure that Trey has the ability to make many things perk right up.

ESMODONTI:

Aw Blondie, you do have a one track mind, now down boy. 

Ya know, when you first told me you knew Trey I thought 

you were only doing that flirty little thing you do.

KARANTHIR:

Flirty little game, moi? I don't know what you mean.

ESMODONTI:

Oh yes you do. This is Es you're talking to and who knows 

ya better than me?

FIN:

She has you there.

KARANTHIR:

Who asked you?

ESMODONTI:
Now boys no fighting, I'm here to help. Ya know what? 

There is a chance you know him.

KARANTHIR:

Es love - you simply must ask him about him.

ESMODONTI:

Already did. He says he doesn't remember you, and we both 

know that if he met ya, there's no forgettin' ya.

KARANTHIR:

That's true. I try my uttmost to make a memorable impression.

FIN:

Then we're back to square one.

ESMODONTI:

Maybe not, ya see, he's spent time in the Elvin realm. 

FIN:

I don't see how that helps. He's human, and would be a much older man by now…

ESMODONTI:

That'd all be true if Trey was just your average guy, but take it from Es, there's nothin' average about him. 

There's a lot more to Trey than meets the eye.

KARANTHIR:

As I recall the word 'big' sprouted from your lips often, when describing him.

ESMODONTI:

Hahaha - you do have it on your mind all the time doncha hon? And that was 

your word, not mine. What I'm telling ya is - he's been around for centuries! 

He's under some magical mojo that keeps him young.

KARANTHIR

Honestly Es, I could kiss you.

ESMODONTI:

Maybe now you can think way back and see if ya really do know him.
