JESSE:
Ow! What the … ?
MEZ:
What happened?
JESSE:
I fell.
MEZ:
Again? This always happens when you come home drunk.
JESSE:
I'm not drunk. I tripped over Io.
JESSE:
… Io what are you doing on the floor?
IO:
The genie wanted to be near you.
MEZ:
Hey - you guys better not be doing anything you shouldn't
be doing while I'm in the room. You got me?
JESSE:
Man, you have a one track mind. I didn't even know he was here.
JESSE:
… Io, you nearly killed me.
IO:
The genie didn't mean to cause you any harm.
JESSE:
Look at you, you're freezing.
JESSE:
… Here put this around you. Why aren't you in your lamp?
IO:
Io is afraid. What if Mast ... Washi comes and tries to take the genie again?
JESSE:
Who? What?
MEZ:
Don't you ever check your messages?I texted you and so did Daprima and Es and half the house - telling you Washi's here - the guy who tried to steal Io.
You need to know what we're doing about it. You too Io.
JESSE:
Is that what that was all about? Sorry but I silenced my
phone. I was with this girl and we were ah kind of busy.
JESSE:
… Washi - he’s the one who treated you so badly?
IO:
The genie doesn't want to belong to him again.
JESSE:
That's not gonna happen. We just got to make sure he doesn't get
your lamp – right? I'll bet Mez hid it away somewhere.
MEZ:
Uh-huh and Racolo put some kind of spell on it to make it invisible. It's
also in two places, the bottom is in here and Darprima has the lid.
JESSE:
Ya see, you got nothing to worry about.
IO:
But Washi can be tricky. What if he comes in here?
JESSE:
Let him - I'd love a chance to waste him.
MEZ:
He won't make it through the door. Daprima had Racolo put a
spell on the whole room. No one can come in without us knowing
about it. There's no way Washi's gonna out-think my sister.
JESSE:
There ya see, you're safe. And if I need to stay up all night to guard you, I will. Whatever's needed - I'm in. No one's taking you away. Understand?
IO:
Yes Jesse.
JESSE:
So don’t sweat it, we're all on it.
