ZYFAN:
… I am sorry - did I wake you? It is just that I need
to climb over you in order to get out of bed.
KARANTHIR:
I don’t mind.
ZYFAN:
Perhaps it would be better if we switched sides?
KARANTHIR:
We can’t do that.
ZYFAN:
Why not?
KARANTHIR:
Because this is my side of the bed.
ZYFAN:
I did not realize you had a side of the bed.
KARANTHIR:
Doesn’t everyone?
ZYFAN:
But prior to today, this was your bed alone.
What if I prefer to sleep there?
KARANTHIR:
Sorry, but I can’t accommodate you. When I used to climb into your old bed, it was I who was pressed up against the wall, remember?
ZYFAN:
Yes, and that is why it was so easy for you to throw me off the bed.
KARANTHIR:
I never threw you off the bed.
ZYFAN:
I distinctly remember hitting the floor.
KARANTHIR:
That was an accident.
ZYFAN:
Yes I am sure. Still, I would rather not be up against the wall.
KARANTHIR:
Then we'll move the bed to the center of the room.
However, this shall remain my side of the bed.
ZYFAN:
That will be fine. Karanthir may I ask you something?
Who are these people on the wall?
KARANTHIR:
Just some friends of mine.
ZYFAN:
Do you think me naive? Upon observing the poses,
they seem to be more than just friends. You have
been intimate with all of them, have you not?
KARANTHIR:
My prince …
ZYFAN:
Do not my prince me - answer the question.
KARANTHIR:
Please tell me you’re not jealous of them? They're in my past.
Consider them … practice leading up to you, my final exam.
ZYFAN:
Then why is my picture not there?
KARANTHIR:
Forgive me, I haven't had the time, but now that you're my one and only I'll remove them all and fill the whole space with you.
ZYFAN:
You would do that?
KARANTHIR:
Nothing would make me happier.
KARANTHIR:
… Of course - you'll need to pose for me.
ZYFAN:
That may be agreeable to me, under the right conditions.
KARANTHIR:
I see you in something very simple, like ... your birthday suit.
ZYFAN:
I have no such a suit.
KARANTHIR:
Yes you do, allow me show it to you.
ZYFAN:
You will not find any suit under this.
KARANTHIR:
Oh but I will. It’s hidden under this ...
ZYFAN:
I see where this is going.
ZYFAN:
... There is just one thing I ... I need to do …
shove
KARANTHIR:
OW! What the ... ?
ZYFAN:
Oh, I am so sorry. I did not mean to do that. It was an accident,
just like the time you pushed me off my bed, accidentally.
KARANTHIR:
This was no accident. You've been plotting this for some time, haven't you? Well, two can play at that game. This means war.
ZYFAN:
It does not. The way I see it - we are even.
KARANTHIR:
I don’t think so. I never pushed you off the bed where as
you did that deliberately. Now, you need to be disciplined.
KARANTHIR:
… Perhaps a spanking’s in order?
ZYFAN:
You would not dare.
KARANTHIR:
Only if you ask me sweetly my prince
ZYFAN:
I love you.
KARANTHIR:
I love you more.
