Monday ...

DAPRIMA:

Io ...

DAPRIMA:

Io wait.

IO:

Yes Miss Daprima.

DAPRIMA:

I haven’t seen much of you lately. Is something the matter?

IO:

The previous master of the genie is here. Io must stay hidden.

DAPRIMA:

That’s not necessary hon, you’re perfectly safe.

IO:

But … Io doesn’t feel safe. The genie would very much

like to return to his lamp, please?

DAPRIMA:

Of course.

DAPRIMA:

Hmmm … It’s time do something about this. 

A little later ...

DAPRIMA:

… And it's been so … tense - since Washi arrived.

VANNI:

Has something happened?

DAPRIMA:

For starters - Io’s scared to death. Mez and Jesse are on guard all the time 

just waiting for Washi to try something. I never should've agreed to let him 

come here. And then, to bring that wife of his - without even asking.

FIN:

Usagi can't be all bad.

DAPRIMA:

glares at him

FIN:
Well, she did cure Karanthir.

DAPRIMA:

How do we know it wasn't Usagi who made him sick in the 

first place? You don't find it suspicious that she comes up 

with this miraculous cure, just like that. Oh c’mon.

FIN:

I hadn't thought of that. 

DAPRIMA:
They’re up to something. I can just feel it.

VANNI:

Patience. We need to treat them accordingly, until we can prove otherwise.

DAPRIMA:

If only I could get a reading on one of them.

VANNI:

It needs to be Washi.

FIN:
Why?

VANNI:

When Usagi was younger, she trained to be a priestess with Syrrah. 

A priestess would sense Daprima's clairvoyant abilities.

DAPRIMA:

Then Washi it is. All I need to do is touch him.

FIN:

I don't like the sound of this ...

DAPRIMA:

Nothing to worry about babe. When I went to Magick School I

learned how to probe without being detected. He won't suspect a thing.

VANNI:

Physical contact may be difficult. He's a royal, remember?

FIN:

Yeah, they’re not very touchie-feel-ly.

DAPRIMA:

You know me, I'll find a way.

FIN:

Just be careful.

DAPRIMA:

Of course.
