289 - Sassed

Esmodonti      Racolo                            

Monday afternoon in Racolo’s office at Magick School …
















ESMODONTI: 

… And how does the necklace work?





















RACOLO:
When Lithium has it on, it stops him from blinking. 
















ESMODONTI:
So it blocks him from using his magic, huh? You
told me it wasn’t good to turn off his magic.


RACOLO:
It would only be temporary. We can always take it off of him.


ESMODONTI:
And it belonged to Harmonia, like when she was a kid?


RACOLO:
That’s what Lu told me.
















ESMODONTI:
I like Harmonia but that chic is nuts. How do we know this  
isn’t the reason she’s so wacky?


RACOLO:
That necklace isn’t the cause of her …





















ESMODONTI:
You just said she wore it when she was a kid and
couldn’t use her magic with it on, and now  
her magic explodes out of her.
















RACOLO:
Explodes out of her?


ESMODONTI:
You know what I mean. She’s powerful. I can feel it when
I’m near her. I just don’t want that happening
to my … our little elf kin.





















RACOLO:
Look, I only brought it up so we could decide together.
If you hate the idea then forget it. We won’t put it on him. 
















ESMODONTI:
Yeah, but then Lith can blink whenever he wants to
and I don’t want him doing that either.


RACOLO:
Are you trying to drive me crazy?


ESMODONTI:
I’m just thinking out loud.
















RACOLO:

We don’t have to make a decision right now. It’s just an option. 


ESMODONTI:
You’re really asking for my opinion on this?


RACOLO:
He’s your kid too.
















ESMODONTI:

I just thought that since magic was your thing you’d …


RACOLO:
I’d what?


ESMODONTI
Nothing. It’s cool. Like you said, we don’t have to decide
right now. I’m done sassing ya about it.
















RACOLO:

Sassing me?


ESMODONTI:
You know what I mean …


RACOLO:
You’re sassing me?
















ESMODONTI:
Yeah and I’m trying not to do that, all the time,
anymore. Are you laughing at me?


RACOLO:
I just didn’t know that was the word for it.


ESMODONTI:
It’s not funny. I’m making an effort here
and you go and make fun of me.
















RACOLO:
You got it all wrong. You keep me on my toes by constantly second 

guessing me. This verbal bantering that we do, no one does it

better than you. You’re just … amazing and - marry me Es.





















ESMODONTI:
Wait, what? Hey - was that a question or a demand?


RACOLO:
Which gets me the answer I want?


ESMODONTI:

If ya really wanna know, then you’ll have to ask the question.
















RACOLO:
This isn’t how I planned this.


ESMODONTI:
Oh no ya don’t, no turning back now.
I’m waiting for my question.
















RACOLO:
You’re really gonna make me do this?


ESMODONTI:
That’s not the question I want.


RACOLO:
Fine. I’ll give you the works.
















ESMODONTI:

Holy crap!





















RACOLO:
Es, I love you, I never stopped loving you and never will.
Will you marry me … and sass me forever more?
















ESMODONTI:
I sure will! Oh Roc - I love you too. I really really do.


































ESMODONTI:
I can’t believe you just did that! We’re like - engaged. Can you dig it!


RACOLO:
That reminds me, I have something for you. It’s in my desk.
















ESMODONTI:
Ya actually got me a ring? You really were planning something!


RACOLO:
Qualina left this for you, for me, for us. I was gonna have the
stone reset but I know you’re not into rings …
















ESMODONTI:

Oh Roc, it’s beautiful. But it’ too big for a ring, for me anyway.
















ESMODONTI:
… And I think it’s perfect as is.
