ORRIE:
K’ranthir, you’re home! Look Zyfan, K'ranthir's back.
ZYFAN:
Greetings Karanthir.
ORRIE:
We've been waiting for you … me and Zyfan both.
KARANTHIR:
I'm so glad to to see you've kept Zyfan company
during my absence, Orrie.
ORRIE:
Did you bring me a present?
KARANTHIR:
Well that depends, have you been a good boy?
ORRIE:
Yup.
KARANTHIR:
Too bad. Guess I'll give it to you anyway.
ORRIE:
Wow - a purple gun! Unbelievable! Thanks.
KARANTHIR:
Actually it's a water pistol. Why don’t you fill
it up and go shoot Brynie for me?
ORRIE:
You bet! I’ll get him good. And you can tickle Zyfan now. Bye.
ZYFAN:
I cannot believe you just sent him to squirt your brother.
KARANTHIR:
It’s all in good fun. And he was right, my prince,
I plan to tickle you for a long, long time.
KARANTHIR:
… Ahhh, how I’ve missed you.
ZYFAN:
I have missed you too. Did you enjoy yourself?
KARANTHIR:
I’ll tell you all about it later.
Right now, all I want is you.
ZYFAN:
Thank you for the cute panda bear but, why is he wearing a shirt?
Is there some significance to this?
KARANTHIR:
That's the convention t-shirt my prince. I have more suitable
things for you but you'll have to wait till I unpack. Chocolates?
ZYFAN:
Oh yes thank you.
KARANTHIR:
Did you really read all these books while I was away?
ZYFAN:
All but one.
KARANTHIR:
What a waste of a perfectly lovely weekend.
ZYFAN:
You do not think I should improve my mind?
KARANTHIR:
I think you’re perfect as is, but if it pleases you - you have
my full support. Maybe I could be one of your teachers?
ZYFAN
I know you are very knowledgeable, but
in which subject would you instruct me?
KARANTHIR:
Anatomy, what else?
ZYFAN:
Anatomy? I would be very willing to learn this from you.
And just whose anatomy shall we study?
KARANTHIR:
There's only one person's anatomy that I'm interested in. I'll start my lesson at the bottom
and work my way up.
KARANTHIR:
… Here’s a simple demonstration. Now pay close attention as we discover what happens when I run my finger lightly along the bottom of your foot.
ZYFAN:
Haha! Now stop. You know how that tickles me.
KARANTHIR:
There'll be no shouting out in my classroom. Moving right along ...
KARANTHIR:
… to your ankle and continuing upwards, in a circular pattern,
towards your knee.
KARANTHIR:
… Do you suppose there’d be a different reaction if I were
to continue past your knee, onto your inner thigh ...
ZYFAN:
How much higher do you intend to go?
KARANTHIR:
Please save all questions till the end of my demonstration.
KARANTHIR:
… Chapter Two: instead of my finger, I'll use my lips to
explore the inner thigh and … beyond.
ZYFAN:
By the gods ...
KARANTHIR:
I believe your body temperature is rising my prince.
ZYFAN:
That is not the only thing.
KARANTHIR:
Excellent. And now it’s time for extra credit.
KARANTHIR:
… You shall do exactly as I say and earn your rightful place as teacher’s pet. Would you like that my prince?
ZYFAN:
Oh yes.
