ESMODONTI:
Cammeo? What are you doing here?
Did something happen to my little elf-kin? 

CAMMEO:
Oh no, nothing like that. Lithium’s fine. He’s sleeping nicely.

ES:
Then what are ya doin’ in my room and why are
ya looking at me like that?

CAMMEO:

Your eyes. They’ve gone … crimson. Have a look.

ESMODONTI:
Mon Dieu - they’re red! Well that sure is different.

Pound-Pound-Pound-Pound

RACOLO:
from the hall

Hey - everything OK in there?

ESMODONTI:
Why’s Roc out there?

CAMMEO:
Es you feel quite right, don’t you?

ESMODONTI:
Yeah, except - well obviously something’s happened.
You gonna tell me what’s going on?

CAMMEO:
I’ll leave that to Racolo. Wait here, I’ll send 

him in straight away.

In the hall …

RACOLO:
Well?

CAMMEO:
Her eyes have gone red. Why should they have done that?

RACOLO:
What?

CAMMEO:
Go on in and see for yourself. I’ll let the others know.

Back in Esmodonti’s room …

RACOLO:
Es! 

ROC:
… am I glad to see you.

ES:

A hug - wow that’s different, not that I’m complaining but 

- Roc, what the hell’s happened to me?

RACOLO:
They really are red.

ES:
Yeah and I’m not sure I’m diggin’ the look. Can they turn back?

RACOLO:
I don’t know, yet. How do you feel? Are ya hungry?

ES:
Not really, just a little tired.

RACOLO:
That’s cause it’s almost sunrise. You’ve been asleep for two
weeks. Daprima just wished you awake using Io’s magic.

ESMODONTI:
What!

RACOLO:
Usagi worked some mojo on you and …

ESMODONTI:
Usagi - yes I remember. We were in the living room with Syrrah
… and everything felt all weird and then - nothing. 

RACOLO:
Right. I’ve been trying to come up with a way to break
her spell and … Where are you going?

ESMODONTI:
To have a chat with Usagi. I may just kill her.
What’s her deal anyway ? I never did anything to her. 

RACOLO:
She’s not here. She’s back in the Elvin realm
and she’s not coming back.

ESMODONTI:
Well that sucks. OK then … Syrrah. She had something to do
with this, didn’t she? She said something crazy right before …

RACOLO:
She’s not here either. They’re all in the elvin realm for Zyfan
and Phae’s engagement. You’re the only elf in the house.

ESMODONTI:

Blondie?

RACOLO:
Karanthir’s there too.

ESMODONTI:

Whoa - Roc my head’s spinning …

RACOLO:
The sun’s coming up. You better get back in bed.

ESMODONTI:
Why did you wake me up in time for me to go back to sleep?

RACOLO:
Sorry, it was just a precaution. I’ll explain everything tonight.

ESMODONTI:
And my elf-kin is really alright? Poor little dude.

He must be missing his mama.

RACOLO:
Yeah but he’s OK. I’ll make sure he’s here when you wake up.

ESMODONTI:
That’d be fab …

RACOLO:
Go to sleep and I’ll see what I can find out about those eyes.
