ZYFAN:

 Why do you leave me after I fall asleep?

KARANTHIR: 

Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.

ZYFAN:

 I was already awake. Answer my question, or must I ask again?

KARANTHIR: 

My, you’re in a feisty mood, I think I like it … 

ZYFAN: 

Do not try to charm me Karanthir. I can smell the beer on your 

breath. This is not the first time I have woken to find you gone. 

KARANTHIR:

 My apologies, but I can’t get accustomed to your early bedtime.

ZYFAN: 

Then, we will come to bed later.

KARANTHIR: 

My prince, you can barely keep your eyes open past ten. I’m fine 

 with this arrangement. I thoroughly enjoy ... putting you to sleep.

ZYFAN:

 Apparently I am unable to do the same for you.

KARANTHIR: 

You know that's not true. It’s just that I wake up. Blame it on the vampire in me. I get restless and need to wander off.

ZYFAN: 

Directly to the bar, it seems.

KARANTHIR:

Not always. Sometimes I go for a walk, or watch TV.  This evening
I met Jesse on the terrace. He’s having a rough time and felt like a drink. I couldn’t let him go alone, now could I?

ZYFAN:

 So you went solely to watch over him?

KARANTHIR: 

Good thing I did, poor fellow had way too many. 

It was all I could do to drag him out of there. 

ZYFAN:

 Next time I want you to wake me.

KARANTHIR:

Just because I’m nocturnal doesn’t mean you need to be as well.

ZYFAN:

 Promise me - you’ll wake me.

KARANTHIR:

 Honestly, you're not missing anything ...

ZYFAN: 

Promise me.

KARANTHIR: 

Alright - from now on I'll wake you. I promise.

ZYFAN:

 Thank you. Where are you going?

KARANTHIR: 

Thought I'd have a shower. I distinctly remember being 

told I stink of beer.

ZYFAN: 

Come  here please …

ZYFAN:

 … I happen to like the smell of the beer. You can have your shower, after.

KARANTHIR: 

Ah, there’s going to be an after?

ZYFAN:

 Yes I am most certain of it.
