HARMONIA:
… Es hon, have you met my oldest? This is Tahariel. She’ll be with
us while she attends college. She going to be a doctor.

ESMODONTI:
How fab! Welcome aboard.

TAHARIEL:
Hey.

HARMONIA: 

So Es, I hear you and Racolo have a date tonight.

ESMODONTI:
Sure do and ya know, I’m actually a little nervous.
Isn’t that crazy?

 

LU:
Not at all. This could be a new beginning for you. 

HARMONIA: 

That’s right, so let me give ya a little advice - no sex.

ESMODONTI:
What’?

TAHARIEL:
Mama, I don’t see how that’s any of your business …

HARMONIA: 

Hush child. Now you listen to me Es, sex clouds your judgement.
So for tonight, leave it at a good night kiss is all.

ESMODONTI:
Hey I never said I wanted to have sex with Roc.

HARMONIA: 

Oh please - everyone wants to have sex with him.

TAHARIEL:
Which one is he mama?

HARMONIA: 

Tall, thin, with ash blond hair and long braids that
just float down his back  …

TAHARIEL:
Oh that one … 

TAHARIEL:
… Mama ain't lying, Es.  He sure does stand out in a crowd.

ESMODONTI:
OK so he’s all that - but it’ll be just fab with me if we can
through tonight without a fight.

LU:
Shall I give you the odds on that?

HARMONIA: 

No Louisa, I think we can all do without hearing that. 

Es, you come over here and let me tell you about your dilemma. 

HARMONIA: 

… Don’t be looking at Louisa, she can’t help you.
Now bring that stool right here and sit yourself down.

ESMODONTI:
Your wasting your time Harmonia,  I already
know what’s wrong with us.

HARMONIA:
You think you do, but you really don’t.

TAHARIEL:

Wait mama, I want to hear what she has to say,
that is if you don’t mind telling me.

ESMODONTI:
Why not? It’s like this - I’m a vampire. Roc hates
vamps and he won’t forgive me for becoming one. 

HARMONIA:
You’re half right there, but ya see - he has forgiven you. You just
won’t accept it. That’s why whenever ya’ll are together 

you feel the need to defend yourself. 

ESMODONTI:
But he …

HARMONIA: 

Ain’t no buts here. When he talks, no matter what he says, you take
it as an attack of some sort and then you go and sass him. 

LU:
Agreed. While you were under that sleep spell, it gave him
the opportunity to re-evaluate your importance in his life.
Simply put - he has moved forward.

HARMONIA: 

And another thing you need to know - it’s not what he
says, it’s what he does. You pay close attention to that hon,
and look at him with new eyes, that’s why ya got ‘em.

ESMODONTI:
It is?

LU:
Harm, do you have a theory about why her eyes turned red?

HARMONIA:
It’s no theory, it’s magic - his magic to be precise. 

ESMODONTI:
That can’t be. His magic didn’t break the spell, Io’s did.

HARMONIA:
Doesn’t matter. That Roc’s a passionate guy, and
magic and emotions always run together.

 

HARMONIA:

… I’ll bet that when Daprima made her wish, his magic got
looped into the genie’s and bingo - red eyes.

TAHARIEL:
Red is the color of passion. Mama and I discussed this on the plane.

HARMONIA:

Now ya’ll best be going Es. Your baby boy is
about to wake up from his nap. 

ESMODONTI:
Oh, thanks.

TAHARIEL:
Es, I hope you have a great time tonight.

HARMONIA:
We all do, and remember - no sex.

Later …

LU:
Shall I tell you the odds of Es taking your advice?

HARMONIA:
Oh please, I know just as sure as I’m sitting here  
that that gal’s gonna have sex.

LU:
So why did you insist …

HARMONIA: 

Because if something feels forbidden, it’s all the more
sweeter when ya go and do it.

LU:
Harm, that’s very wicked of you.

HARMONIA: 

Hey - I got to get the two of them hitched. I promised
Racolo’s grandma I would.

LU:
You mean Qualina?

HARMONIA: 

That’s right. I expect to run into her again, magically, and when I do
- I aim to tell her that her great grand baby has been legitimated.
Qualina will appreciate that - being the old-fashioned gal that she is. 

HARMONIA:

… And really, those two belong together,
why it’s as clear as the nose on your face
