Late Friday night, in Karanthir and Brynie’s room ...

MEZ:

…We should’ve cut him off.  Fin’s not gonna be happy 

about this. Oh man, I just thought of something - Daprima.

KARANTHIR:

Oh that sister of yours – she's like a drill sergeant in heels. 

Don’t worry about her. I’ll take full responsibility. I am in

charge after all. We'll simply act as if you weren’t involved at all.

MEZ:

She’ll never buy it. Woa, it feels like the room's going sideways ...

KARANTHIR:

Mez you’re looking a little unstable, why don’t you sit for a spell.

MEZ:

In your room, alone with you? I’m not that drunk.

KARANTHIR:

Of course not, you're just a little dizzy. Besides, Brynie’s here. 

Seriously, I don’t feel like being alone. It’s quite an insult 

being deliberatively left out of the fun, isn’t it?

MEZ:

What do you mean?

KARANTHIR:

Everyone’s at this shin-dig for Vanni and Syrrah, and here I am, 

 baby-sitting my little brother. I mean really!

MEZ:
I didn’t go either.

KARANTHIR:

I understand why you chose not to participate. It would’ve

been uncomfortable for you, watching Cammeo with Zyfan.

MEZ:
Watching who with what? 

KARANTHIR:

You mean you didn’t know? It seems Cammeo refused to go

until Zyfan volunteered to be her escort.

MEZ:

He  did that?

KARANTHIR:

Such a gallant fellow, don’t you think? I find him fascinating.

MEZ:

Cammeo and Zyfan?

KARANTHIR:

I saw them leave together with my very own eyes.

Imagine it - Cammeo with a genuine prince!

MEZ:

I don't think I feel so good ...

KARANTHIR:

I’d love the opportunity to make you feel better. 

My poor broken-hearted boy, you just don’t know

how irresistible you are, especially here in my bed

MEZ: 

Hey - How did I get in here? What’s  happening?   

KARANTHIR:
We are. It’s just you and me. 

MEZ:

Yeah, and Brynie.

KARANTHIR:

He’s in no condition to bother us. Mez, I promise 

you, no one will ever know.

KARANTHIR:

…You’ve always been drawn to me. You can’t deny it. Why not 

just give me a try? I know you’re curious.

MEZ:

Wait ...

KARANTHIR:

Listen to me, Mez, you’ve got to drop these inhibitions of yours. 

KARANTHIR:
… Their only purpose is to spoil the fun.

MEZ:

Wait. I mean - no.

KARANTHIR:
No?

MEZ:

No.

KARANTHIR:

… Very well, but first tell me this and I want an honest answer. There was a moment when you wanted me 

- before your inhibitions took over - correct?

MEZ:
… Maybe.

KARANTHIR:

Good enough.

MEZ:

What happens now?

KARANTHIR:

Now, dear one, I shall escort you to your room

where you'll be safely tucked into your bed, alone.

MEZ:

Really?

KARANTHIR:

Yes, really.
