Saturday morning in Fin, Karanthir, 

Brynie and Orrie’s room ...

poke  poke  poke

ORRIE: 

K'ranthir - wake up.

ORRIE:

Ka-RAN-thirrrrrrrr ....

KARANTHIR:

Ah yes, the big game. And don't you look dapper in your uniform.

ORRIE:

I put it on all by myself.

KARANTHIR:

And you did an excellent job too.

ORRIE:

Know what else?

ORRIE:

…Zyfan's home. Is he gonna come with us?

KARANTHIR:

Definitely.

ORRIE:

Good. I go wake him now.

KARANTHIR:

No, you run along and eat your breakfast. 

I’ll be the one to wake him.

KARANTHIR:

Not as happy as I am to have you home again. Did you get in late? 

No matter, we can nap later. I need your help my prince. During 

your absence I became the coach of Orrie’s tee ball team.

ZYFAN:

You have become a coach? I think I am in shock. Karanthir,

of all the things I would think you to do, this is not one of them.

KARANTHIR:

Tell me about it. It wasn’t my idea but when Orrie looked at me

with that little face and made his request – what was I to do?

ZYFAN:

You are a good brother to him.

KARANTHIR:

I know, but there’s more, I was also coerced into making Brynie my 

assistant coach. That’s why I need you. It is your job to prevent me 

from killing the little monster. Are you up for the task?

ZYFAN:

I am.

KARANTHIR:

I’m glad to hear it, but alas my prince there is still more.

Afterwards we will need to escort Orrie, Brynie and his 

little girlfriend, to the Yankee game.

ZYFAN:

This all sounds fascinating. Tell me, is this Yankee

game something we would need to participate in?

KARANTHIR:

Perish the thought. No.  We’ll just sit in the stands and … You don’t 

know what I'm talking about do you? You have no idea

who the Yankees are, correct?

ZYFAN:

I do not. Still it all sounds like great fun.

KARANTHIR:

If only. I’d love to help you get dressed but I fear we’d never make it out 

of this room. So instead, I’ll meet you in the kitchen.

ZYFAN:

But Karanthir, I have been gone almost a week, do

you not wish to kiss me good morning, perhaps?

KARANTHIR:

I would, my prince, but it is taking all the willpower I possess

not to pounce on you right now. Ah - but duty calls. Our reunion will have to wait until I can give you all the attention you so rightly deserve.
