VANNI:

We can wait here for everyone. Grace, you keep 

Syrrah company while I get her a chair.

GRACE:

This is my new chair. I used to have a blue one, but A-m 

said it was too big for me and I might fall off and get hurt. 

So she bought me this one.

GRACE:

... It's very comfy too. Do you want to try it out?

SYRRAH:

Thank you young Grace, but I shall wait for GioVanni.

In the foyer …

KARANTHIR:

… Seriously, you're making a big deal out nothing.

FIN:

Karanthir, you left in the middle of the movie

without letting us know.

DAPRIMA:

And you took Noli with you. Do you realize how

worried we were when she turned up missing?

GRACE:

calling from the other room

Daprima is that you? Can you come in here please?

DAPRIMA:

Babe please try to explain it to him. Coming Grace!

FIN:

That was very irresponsible of you. We didn't go to 

the movies to look for you. You need to apologize 

to Cammeo and Mez. Here they come now.

CAMMEO:

…Noli, you must promise never to wander 

off like that again.

NOLI:

'Meo mad at Noli?

CAMMEO:

Of course not, I was quite distraught is all.

NOLI:

'Ranther!

KARANTHIR:

Noli, my petite date for the day. They wisked you away

from me so quickly I wasn't sure if I'd ever see you again.

We did have some fun though didn't we, my girl?

MEZ:

What were you thinking when you walked

out of the theatre Karanthir?

CAMMEO:

It wasn’t very nice of you. New York is such a big city. 

I should hate to think what could have happened. Thank goodness 

we found you. Now come Noli, I think we ought to wash up a bit.

NOLI:

Noli sorry.

KARANTHIR:

And I sincerely apologize too. I certainly didn't mean to cause

you any concern. The movie was simply a bore, so I

thought I'd stroll around. I didn't realize Noli followed me.

NOLI:

Noli go with 'Meo now.

The girls leave. 

MEZ:

I missed the end of the movie because of you.

KARANTHIR:

Why Mez, are you really angry with me? That means you 

truly care. How sweet. Come here and give us a big hug.

MEZ:

Get away from me.

FIN:

Why must you always cause trouble wherever you go?

KARANTHIR:

Just one of my many talents, dear brother.

Meanwhile ...

GRACE:

… She wants to meet everyone.

DAPRIMA:

Wonderful. I'll go right in. Here Grace, do me a 

favor and put my wrap away for me.

VANNI:

Daprima, let me introduce you - this is Syrrah

DAPRIMA:

It's so nice to finally meet you.

SYRRAH:

The honor is all mine. I wish to thank you for suggesting I seek out GioVanni when I needed assistance.

DAPRIMA:

I knew he'd do a great job. You look lovely.

Oh, here come the boys.

SYRRAH:

The pleasure is all mine.

DAPRIMA:

Fin and Karanthir, this is Syrrah.

FIN:

Welcome to our home. and please excuse my brother.

He has a flair for the dramatic. 

SYRRAH:

No need to apologize Findarato, your brother is charming. 

I must confess how pleased I am to see fellow Elves living 

happily in this, my new home.

SYRRAH:

GioVanni, is this everyone?

VANNI:

There’s two more left, and here they come.

NOLI:

Look‘ Meo a new lady.

CAMMEO:

No running luv.

NOLI:

Hi. Me Noli.

SYRRAH:

I am called Syrrah.

MEZ:

Karanthir, you want to get your hand off my butt.

KARANTHIR:

So sorry, it must have wandered there on its own.

Honestly, I didn't do it intentionally.

VANNI:

... And this is Cammeo.

SYRRAH:

The gifted violinist? Young Grace has told me much about you. I have enjoyed listening to your music and hope to hear it again soon.

CAMMEO:
blushing

Oh, thank you. Where are my manners? Let me get 

some refreshments. Pardon me.

MEZ:

Cammeo - wait up. I’ll help you.

CAMMEO:

She seems quite nice, don't you think so?

MEZ:

She reminds me of Morticia Addams.

CAMMEO:

Have I met her?

MEZ:

You're so funny.

GRACE:

Karanthir, it’s time for my cartoonies, yes it is. 

You promised to watch them with me, remember?

KARANTHIR:

How could I forget?

NOLI:

Noli come too.

FIN:

You know Daprima, there's something about her

... I can't put my finger on it. What do you think?

DAPRIMA:

I can't read her. She's blocking me - I can feel it. 

She's very powerful - that's for sure. I've never 

encountered anything quite like this before.

FIN:

Let’s not worry about it. She seems nice enough, 

and Grace certainly adores her. She’s a pretty good

 judge of character. I’m sure we'll figure it out.
