       Zyfan and Karanthir

Karanthir is leaving for the BJD Convention in Austin, TX  in the morning.

KARANTHIR: 

I’m all packed.


ZYFAN:

 Is there room for one more item?

KARANTHIR:

 As much as I’d love to place you in my bag and bring you with me ...

ZYFAN:

 That is not why I asked. I … I have a gift for you, for your trip.


KARANTHIR:

 A going away present? Zyfan you didn’t have to do that.


ZYFAN: 

I disagree. I spoke with our Guardian about the event. Did you know there is to be a pajama party? And since you do not own pajamas
- I will not have you parading about ...

KARANTHIR:

 Yes my prince?


ZYFAN: 

I want to be clear that … certain things are for my eyes only. 

Your undergarments are on that list as well as what they conceal.


KARANTHIR: 

I see. May I open my present now?

ZYFAN:

 Please do. I had it specially made for you. I hope you like it.


KARANTHIR:

I'm sure I'll adore it.

KARANTHIR:

A kimono …This is so thoughtful of you. I love it. I really do Zyfan.

KARANTHIR:

 … Thank you so much.

ZYFAN:

May I see it on you?

ZYFAN: 

… It is perfect. You do not plan to … flash anyone while wearing 

it at the convention, do you?


KARANTHIR:

 I hadn’t thought of it but no, I'll save my flashing for you.

ZYFAN:

I shall miss you. Will you think of me, during your trip?


KARANTHIR: 

As if a moment ever passes when you’re not on mind. 

Zyfan, just say the word and I won’t go.


ZYFAN: 

But I want you to go. You have been looking forward to this 

since before we got together. It is just ...

ZYFAN:

 … I really want you to enjoy your holiday ... I mean, if you really …
feel the need for … companionship … I would hate to think
you were lonely but ... I would rather not know about it.


KARANTHIR: 

My prince, are you giving me permission to cheat?

ZYFAN:

 Had you gone to this event last year, as planned, you would have been free to do as you wished. I do not want to hold you back. I only ask that you not kiss anyone. I want very much for your kisses to belong just to me.

KARANTHIR:

 I’m not to kiss another, but I can … pounce on them,

 is that what you’re telling me?


ZYFAN:

Do you think me unreasonable?


KARANTHIR: 

Very. What makes you think I want to pounce on any other but you? Have I done something that has led you to this conclusion?

ZYFAN:

 No but ... I thought, I mean ... will Darith be there?


KARANTHIR: 

Darith? Is that what this is about? Oh Zyfan, we’re just friends. 

We flirt a little but then I flirt with most everyone.
It means nothing.

KARANTHIR: 

…Nothing is going to happen between Darith and me or anyone else.

I love you and only you. Oh forget it, I just won’t go.


ZYFAN: 

No you must. I insist. I would feel horrible if you cancelled your trip because of me. I am feeling better about everything.
Please believe me.

ZYFAN:

 ... Besides I have much to do. My professor has provided me with a reading list that I must begin, and with you gone ...


KARANTHIR:
There’ll be no one to pounce on you, therefore freeing
up your time to pursue your studies.


ZYFAN:
Well, yes. 

KARANTHIR:

 Very well my prince. Then I’ll leave you to your books. We’ll have lots to catch up on when I return.
