338 - A Great Asset
Phae Karanthir Wysh Racolo
2023
Later in the kitchen …
PHAE:
… Karan, I can’t believe how quickly you found Wysh at Magick School.
KARANTHIR:
Honestly, it was much easier than expected …
KARANTHIR:
… Upon my arrival, I spotted a huge crowd - and there
she was, in the center of it all. The students were enamored
with her. It was down right pitiful - if you ask me.
PHAE:
And you managed to talk her into coming home?
KARANTHIR:
It was her idea. She didn’t tell you?
PHAE:
No. She said she had too much to do, and she was so animated.
She was actually flying in circles - I had to get out of the room.
I still don’t know what set her off.
KARANTHIR:
Well then allow me to tell you the news
- our little nuisance has gotten herself a job.
PHAE:
You mean - Wysh is working at Magick School?
KARANTHIR:
Indeed she is.
PHAE:
But how?
KARANTHIR:
That crowd I mentioned, caught the attention of the headmaster. I
simply suggested to him that she could be a great asset to the school.
KARANTHIR:
… Long story short - her little ears perked up, she flew promptly
over and talked him into offering her a position.
PHAE:
Do you know what this means? She’ll be out of the house for most of the day.
KARANTHIR:
Exactly, and what better place than there?
Especially since it’s not here.
Just then, a commotion caught their attention …
And in walked …
RACOLO:
… For the last time - slow down and quit flying around me!
WYSH:
ButRacolo, I’vebeenwaitingforyoutogethomefromMagickSchool …
WYSH:
…Youhavetolistentome-andyoukeepwalkingaway…
PHAE:
Oh dear, I better help him.
KARANTHIR:
Just a moment, I’d like to see how this plays out.
PHAE:
That isn’t very nice.
KARANTHIR:
Who said anything about nice? This could prove to be quite
entertaining. Besides, Magick boy can take care of himself.
RACOLO:
… I’m warning you.
WYSH:

Racolo put her down.
WYSH:

PHAE:

RACOLO:
Alright, here.
WYSH:

RACOLO:
I had to do something. She’s like in warp drive or something …
WYSH:
ThankyouPhae-dear. Iknewyou’dcometomyrescueand …
PHAE:
No need to explain Racolo - but I can help. Wysh,
I mean darling Wysh.
WYSH:
Hmmmm ….
RACOLO:
Hey - how’d you do that? She actually stopped moving and shut up.
PHAE:
It’s just the thing to say when she gets overly excited.
RACOLO:
Darling Wysh?
WYSH:
Hmmm …
PHAE:
Uh-huh, works every time and it keeps her calm,
for a few minutes anyway.
RACOLO:
Good to know. I’ll remember that.
PHAE:
Come with me Wysh. You can talk with Racolo later,
if it’s really necessary.
WYSH:
Oh it is, it is, but I guess it can wait till after dinner…
WYSH:
… Phae-dear, now that I’m teaching at Magick School - I need a wizards robe
to wear. You know, like Racolo’s - but not black, maybe purple?
PHAE:
Well, Cammeo made all those pretty dresses for her doll
Charlotte, remember? Maybe she can make you one?
WYSH:
I’ll bet she can indeed. Let’s go ask her …
The girls leave.
RACOLO:
You! You did this to me.
KARANTHIR:
Moi? And just what exactly did I do specifically to you?
RACOLO:
You got her a job at Magick School.
KARANTHIR:
Actually, I only introduced her to your head master. She did
the rest. And really, what’s the big dilemma - that you
occasionally bump into her there?
RACOLO:
No Karanthir, she’s been assigned to me. I’m her advisor
- and I have to help her set up a curriculum.
KARANTHIR:
You mean to say that you’re - HAHAHAHAHA!
RACOLO:
It’s not funny. Do you realize how much time
I’m gonna have to spend with her?
KARANTHIR
You’re right. Forgive me. It’s just - HAHAHAHAHAHA!
My little nuisance has become your little nuisance…
KARANTHIR:
… HAHAHAHAHA! Good things do come to those who wait.
HAHAHAHA! - oh this is to much ….
