Wednesday night in Phae's bedroom ...

ZAM:

Ah, ahem … I knocked but …Hello my dear, sorry to wake you but ...

PHAE:

Oh Zam, is something wrong?

ZAM:
No dear, well sort of. You see, I'm leaving, but I’ll be joining you and Shichi at Court in a few days. I just didn't want you to think I was deserting you.

PHAE:

I would never think that. You've been so wonderful to me ever since we met.

ZAM:

Aw thank you dear. Do you mind if I climb up? I've something to tell you.

PHAE:

Go right ahead.

ZAM:

I hope you won't be offended ... but I’d like to have an offspring of mine come stay with you. I believe she'll make a lovely companion for you and …

PHAE:

Zam, you have a daughter!

ZAM:

Ah yes, many in fact. Anyway, this one, well, she favors her mother's side. She’s of the air.

PHAE:

The air?

ZAM:

That's right my dear. I'm of the sea, she's of the air. We fairies come in

different breeds, so to speak, and my Wysh, that's her name, she can fly 

- when she chooses to - that is …

PHAE:

You mean she has wings?

ZAM:

Indeed she does, but like most of her kind, she hides them 

when they’re not in use.

ZAM:

…I’m going to pay her a visit and if all goes well, she and I will arrive at 

Court together. Then I'll introduce her to you properly and all.

PHAE:

Thank you Zam. I'm looking forward to meeting her.

PHAE:

… and Zam …

ZAM:

Yes my dear?

PHAE:

I'm so honored to have you looking out for me. I couldn’t 

ask for a better friend. Thank you so much.

ZAM:

Aw shucks ….
