Friday night ...
KARANTHIR:
Ah my prince, I've been looking for you.
Is it true that you’re leaving tomorrow?
ZYFAN:
Yes. I must escort Syrrah to our realm. The griffins will be
here in the morning. I shall be gone for almost a week.
KARANTHIR:
That simply won't do. Zyfan, I need to be with
you now. I can’t wait any longer.
ZYFAN:
It warms my heart to hear you say this, and I want to be
with you too. It seems impossible in this dwelling.
I cannot bear another interruption.
KARANTHIR:
I’m way ahead of you. I found a place close by where no
one will bother us. I thought we could use Es’s closet, but then I remembered this. Follow me.
ZYFAN:
I have never been here. Is this not our Guardian’s room?
KARANTHIR:
It is. She’s away for the weekend, leaving it empty
and available. Not to mention how secluded
it is from everything else. After you ...
ZYFAN:
But, are we permitted in here?
KARANTHIR:
Does it matter? By the time she finds out you’ll be gone. Besides, she never said we couldn’t use her room. After all, she lets Grace watch TV in here.
ZYFAN:
If it is allowed, then why do I feel so naughty?
KARANTHIR:
If you feel naughty now, just wait till I get you up on that bed.
ZYFAN:
Up there? But how will we ever ...?
KARANTHIR:
This way your highness.
ZYFAN:
Please do not call me that, it reminds me of
what will eventually be.
KARANTHIR:
That you’ll rule all the Elvin nations?
Sounds like a dream to me.
ZYFAN:
But I do not want to rule the Elvin nations.
I do not want to rule anyone at all ...
ZYFAN:
... How did you get up there so fast?
KARANTHIR:
I’m half-vampire, remember? One of its perks.
Give me your hand.
ZYFAN:
Thank you.
KARANTHIR:
You're welcome, and my prince you can
rule over me anytime at all.
ZYFAN:
Karanthir, what are you doing? I do not think it is
polite to walk on a bed in your shoes.
KARANTHIR:
Forgive me. What was I thinking?
KARANTHIR:
There, happy now?
ZYFAN:
Are you certain we will not be found?
KARANTHIR:
Positive.
KARANTHIR:
Come my prince. I've been waiting for this moment
ever since the first night you arrived.
KARANTHIR:
Finally - I get to undress you. No don't help me. I plan to enjoy every minute of this. It’ll be like opening a gift.
ZYFAN:
Karanthir, do you need any assistance?
KARANTHIR:
I can manage thank you.
ZYFAN:
I think you are making it tighter.
KARANTHIR:
I almost have it.
ZYFAN:
OW! That is not the way to unfasten it. Just slide the ...
KARANTHIR:
Oh this! Amazing, and here it looked so complicated.
I was just going about it the wrong way.
KARANTHIR:
… Did I hurt you?
ZYFAN:
Deeply.
KARANTHIR:
Then please, let me make amends.
ZYFAN:
Karanthir, what are you doing?
KARANTHIR:
I can't seem to get these pants off.
ZYFAN:
That is because you have not finished untying them.
KARANTHIR:
I'll tell you my prince, your clothes
are quite complicated.
ZYFAN:
What happened to my being a gift for you to open?
KARANTHIR:
A challenging gift, and I love a challenge.
ZYFAN:
Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?
KARANTHIR:
You may have mentioned it. But Zyfan …
KARANTHIR:
… Let me demonstrate to you how
Easily my clothes can be removed.
KARANTHIR:
…Voila!
ZYFAN:
…Not - another - word. Agreed?
KARANTHIR:
nods head up and down
