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.
