DAPRIMA:
… I’m not kidding Es, Racolo was really beside himself while you were 

under that sleep spell. It’s pretty obvious how he feels about you, 

even if he doesn’t want to admit it.

ESMODONTI:
I’ve heard it all before D. Jesse said the same thing
- but ya got it all wrong.

DAPRIMA:
I disagree. Just at look at how he found a way for you
to be awake during the day and be safe in direct sunlight.

ESMODONTI:
I know - but what you don’t get is that Roc did it all for our
little elf-kin. It was for Lithium, that’s all. Hey Lu.

LU:

nods

DAPRIMA:
You sound just like him. I think you’re both in denial.

ESMODONTI:
No hon. Ya see, Roc and me finally figured out a way to get
along, and I’m not about to mess that up.  
Speaking of messin’ up …

ESMODONTI:
… Word is -  Fin proposed to you and you turned
him down. So what’s the deal with that?

DAPRIMA:
Fin and I are just fine. You’re just trying to change the subject. 

LU:

rolls eyes

DAPRIMA:

Hey - I saw that.

ESMODONTI:
Ditto. What’s with you?

LU:

Well, since you asked - you’re both being incredibly foolish.

DAPRIMA & ESMODONTI:
What?

LU:
I see two women in love with two men who love them, 

and all of you are just wasting time.

ESMODONTI:
I never said I was in love Roc.

LU:
Words are not always necessary. Neither you nor Racolo has
been in a serious relationship since you broke up, correct? 

ESMODONTI:
Hey - I’ve gone out with lots of guys.

LU:

But not one serious relationship. And Daprima …

DAPRIMA:
Like I said, Fin and I are just fine. 

LU:
Yet you are here, and he’s in the Elvin realm.

DAPRIMA:
That’s wasn’t his choice. He had to go.

LU:
But you would have been included had you been engaged. I’m
sorry for being blunt, but you must understand my story. I met
the love of my life when was 19. Two months later we married. 

LU:
… Then, not long after that, my Lawrence was killed during the
Battle of Shanghai, along with my mother. 

ESMODONTI:
Mon dieu …

DAPRIMA:

I’m so sorry. I had no idea … The Battle of Shanghai?
When was that?

LU:
In 1937, during WWII. I’m under a youth spell, remember?
This all happened before the spell was cast, of course.
Time was a gift to us back then. 

LU:
… He and I lived for today since there was no guarantee
for anything more. I had 256 days with my Lawrence. 

256 days.  What I wouldn’t have given for more …

LU:
… Remember, being with the one that you love is precious,
every minute of it, because you may not have the luxury of
being together forever, even if you are forever in love.
