SYRRAH:

Esmodonti, I have found you at last. I want to speak with you. 

ESMODONTI:
Same here.

SYRRAH:
Is this a good time?

ESMODONTI:
Sure is.

SYRRAH:
Excellent. Let us sit.

        

ESMODONTI:
I guess I’ll go first. I’m really ticked off at you. 

SYRRAH:
As you should be. It was wrong of me to ask Usagi to place you
under her sleep spell.  I ask your forgiveness.

ESMODONTI:
I wasn’t expecting you to say that.

SYRRAH:

What else could I say, when it is the truth?

ESMODONTI:
I know that but …  well …

ESMODONTI:
- I wasn’t done tellin’ ya off.

SYRRAH:
Then, by all means,  proceed.

ESMODONTI:
Yeah but - now you went and ruined it for me. 

SYRRAH:

Perhaps if I explained what motivated me to do what I did?

   

ESMODONTI:
I already know that. I attacked your brother, nearly killed him …

SYRRAH:
True, but we know now that that was due to your
drinking Herita’s potion.

ESMODONTI:
Still, what if I had run into one the kids first, instead of Zyfan ….

SYRRAH:
I shudder to think it.

ESMODONTI:
Me too. But I’m still pissed at you. You didn’t even give me a
chance to say anything before turning  Usagi loose on me.

SYRRAH:
I acted in haste. I felt you were a danger to us all and I needed
to ensure the safety of everyone here by neutralizing you.

ESMODONTI:
You sure did that! 

SYRRAH:
You did go after Zyfan - who is not only my brother, but heir
to the throne. I stopped you to protect you. 

SYRRAH:
… Can you imagine what would have happened if the One,
or worse yet - my mother had found out about the attack?
The palace guards would have been here within minutes. 

ESMODONTI:
I never thought of that.

SYRRAH:
I am not justifying my actions, I just want you to be aware
of all that was on my mind at the time.

ESMODONTI:
I get it. But you, you had that chick put me to sleep …

SYRRAH:
I knew Racolo would find a way to wake you.
I even offered my assistance  …

ESMODONTI:
Yeah  but when I finally did wake up - Usagi was gone.
Herita had  been sent off to the Committee and you
- you were off partying it up in the Elvin realm! 

SYRRAH:
I can assure you, there was very little ‘partying up’ going on. I do understand your frustration though - having no one here to confront.

ESMODONTI:
You betcha! And I’m not big on confrontations
but this time I was all fired up and raring to go.

SYRRAH:
I am truly sorry, Esmodonti, and I say again
- I was wrong and ask your forgiveness.

ESMODONTI:
Fine. Ya have it ‘cause I get where you’re coming from, and I
just hate being mad at anyone. Now I need to apologize to you
for biting Zyfan. I really feel bad about that.

SYRRAH:
I forgave you that the moment I found out about Herita’s involvement.

ESMODONTI:
Cool. Then we’re even.

SYRRAH:
Speaking from one mother to another - we are not even.
By initiating that sleep spell, I took time from your son that he
should have been spending with you.  I am therefore
in yours and Lithium’s debt.

ESMODONTI:
Since you put it that way - you’re right.

SYRRAH:
I am pleased you see it my way. And now that that is settled - I
would very much like to hear all about your wedding.

ESMODONTI:
Do ya really? That’s just fab ‘cause I love talking about it.
