KARANTHIR:

whispers

My prince ...

ZYFAN: 

Karanthir what are you doing here? Is something the matter?

KARANTHIR:

I just needed to see you, to touch you again.

ZYFAN: 

That is sweet of you but …

ZYFAN:

I appreciate the extra kisses but you really must go.

KARANTHIR: 

I have a better idea, why don't you just slide over.

ZYFAN: 

You cannot. Mez is sleeping directly above us and Jesse ...

KARANTHIR: 

Jesse is escorting Es home from work. As for Mez, 

well, we just need to be quiet, that’s all.

ZYFAN:

You cannot be serious.

KARANTHIR:

He won’t even know I’m here.

ZYFAN: 

But I know he is there.

KARANTHIR:

Hush my prince, before you wake him - and we don't want that to happen, at least not just yet.

ZYFAN:

Shhh - he is moving. He must not see you.

KARANTHIR:

Not to worry, I’ll just hide right under here.

ZYFAN:

Oh you must be joking ...

MEZ: 

Zyfan - is that you?

ZYFAN: 

Uh ... yes Mez. Stop it.

MEZ: 

Is Jesse back?

ZYFAN:

 No he is not. I have been told he is escorting Es 

home from work. I am sure he will be very late.

MEZ: 

Then who are you talking to?

ZYFAN:

No one. You must have been dreaming.

MEZ:

Funny, thought I heard voices. You didn’t hear them?

ZYFAN: 

… No - I said NO!

MEZ:

Alright - you don’t have to yell at me.

ZYFAN: 

Forgive me, it is just … sometimes I fear I am 

not being taken seriously when I say no.

MEZ: 

You’re acting really weird. Are you OK?

ZYFAN:

 I am fine. Please go back to sleep.

ZYFAN:
… Now stop it.

KARANTHIR: 

Ow!

MEZ: 

What the hell?

ZYFAN: 

Sorry ... it is only a leg cramp.

ZYFAN: 

… I am fine now. Good night.

MEZ:

Yeah, yawn g'night.

ZYFAN:

You must go - now.

KARANTHIR: 

I couldn’t do that. Honestly, I’m having way too much fun. 

MEZ:

You’re telling me you didn’t hear that? 

ZYFAN: 

Um yes ... I may have heard something. I believe it came 

from the hallway. Yes, that is right. It was in the hall.

MEZ: 

Really? Sounded closer to me.

ZYFAN: 

I am quite sure.

ESMODONTI:

from the hall 

Pssst Mez … hey Mezzie …

ZYFAN: 

Oh listen, it is Es, calling for you. Just as I said.

MEZ:

OK so it was in the hall. Could you hit the light?

ZYFAN: 

Yes, of course.

ESMODONTI:

from the hall

Hey Mezzie.

MEZ:
Yes Es - I’ll be right there. 

ZYFAN:

 Are you mad?

KARANTHIR: 

You pulled my hair.

ZYFAN: 

That is nothing compared to what you were doing to me. 

How dare you touch me there while he was in the room?

KARANTHIR: 

There didn’t seem to mind, on the contrary, there seemed quite happy that I’m here. 

ZYFAN: 

You are impossible.

KARANTHIR: 

So I've been told.

ZYFAN:

 What do you think you are doing now?

KARANTHIR:

 I can’t leave you … unfinished. That would be cruel.

 I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.

ZYFAN: 

Go, I beg you ... he will be back any minute.

KARANTHIR: 

You really don't want me to leave, do you? 

KARANTHIR:

… Especially without one more caress ...

ZYFAN:

 Oh ... 

KARANTHIR:

And one more kiss ... 

ZYFAN:

 … Karanthir.

KARANTHIR:

 Yes my prince?

ZYFAN:

Please go, I will meet you in the study in five minutes. I promise.

KARANTHIR: 

That's acceptable to me.
