Jesse Neve Brynie
Saturday morning ...
JESSE:
… I just told you Neve, Herita had to go away.
NEVE:
But who's gonna make breakfast, and lunch?
JESSE:
Me.
NEVE:
But Jesse - you don’t now how.
JESSE:
Says who? I can cook anything you want.
NEVE:
I want pancakes.
JESSE:
Of course you do.
NEVE:
With blueberries. They my favorite.
JESSE:
Pancakes make a mess. Wouldn't you rather have
something different like … grilled cheese?
NEVE:
Grilled cheese not breakfast. That lunch.
JESSE:
Who told you that? You sit down and in a few minutes, we'll
be eating grilled cheese for breakfast. OK?
NEVE:
OK. Jesse?
JESSE:
Yeah?
NEVE:
When 'Rita coming back?
JESSE:
I don’t know.
NEVE:
Where she go? Why she not say bye-bye?
JESSE:
She ah … got sick, suddenly. Lu took her to a
place where she can get better.
NEVE:
Oh. I hope she get better soon. I miss her.
JESSE:
Yeah, you and Herita did have a weird connection.
NEVE:
Can I make her a feel better card?
JESSE:
Sure? Now do me a favor and sit down.
NEVE:
Hi Brynie. Jesse making grilled cheese. Want some?
BRYNIE:
Jesse, I didn't know you could cook.
JESSE:
I do OK.
JESSE:
Neve, don't go volunteering me to cook for the whole house.
BRYNIE:
Thanks anyway but Fin's taking us out to breakfast. I'm just early.
NEVE:
Jesse, I gonna get my crayons. Be right back.
JESSE:
How’re things?
BRYNIE:
Zyfan’s better and Karanthir’s really mad at Herita and Syrrah and
Usagi and … well - life. But Fin said he's coming with us whether he
likes it or not. Which means it's gonna be a very long morning.
JESSE:
I hear that. I guess no one's found a way to wake Es up?
BRYNIE:
Nope. I don't get why this had to happen to her. I mean, she
would've stayed away if Syrrah asked her to, right?
JESSE:
Probably. What I don't get is – why isn't Zyfan a vampire? Es bit him.
I know it was because of Herita's potion but she still bit him.
BRYNIE:
That's only part of it. Zyfan would've had to drink from her too. Drinking
blood – yuck, really grosses me out. Then he'd need to drink from
someone else who wasn't a vamp, and kill them to get turned.
JESSE:
Oh, that's how it's done.
BRYNIE:
Unless you're Karanthir. Only my brother would find another way.
JESSE:
Yeah, I never understood that.
BRYNIE:
Me either. He says he pissed off some crazy sorceress and
she cursed him with a spell or something.
