HARMONIA:

Xyla, how nice of you to materialize before me
without an invitation or any notice at all.

XYLA:
I don’t need an invitation.

HARMONIA: 

Still as charming as ever. Now tell me what brings ya here?

XYLA: 

Your father is distracted. His work suffers.
It is irritating and it must stop.

HARMONIA: 

Is that so? And just what do you expect me to do about it? 

XYLA: 

Summon the ex-genie to you and keep him here.

HARMONIA: 

Ya’ll talking ‘bout Io? Sweet li’l Io? Oh I see where this is goin’.
Daddy took one look at him and his heart went all a flutter, and
now he’s done got himself a schoolboy crush. Isn’t that a hoot!

XYLA: 

Not to me. 

HARMONIA: 

Am I to understand that ya’ll can pop yourself in here
unannounced - but ya can’t magic Io away from daddy?

XYLA: 

Trey had me promise not to interfere.

HARMONIA: 

And what do ya call this? 

XYLA: 

You interfering.

HARMONIA: 

That’s some interesting logic ya got there,
but if daddy’s in love, I wish him well.

XYLA: 

He needs to focus on his work.

HARMONIA: 

You know that daddy has a short attention span.
This infatuation won’t last long, maybe a couple of years or so,
and a few years in your long life - will be like the blink of an eye.

XYLA:
I’m growing impatient with you.

HARMONIA:

And I just don’t have time for this. I already have
enough on my plate with that mysterious buzzing noise
and Louisa having me stare at a doll half the night.

XYLA: 

You are not hearing me …

HARMONIA:
Now see here - you’ve been searching for your kind
for centuries. This delay won’t make much difference one
way or another.  I ain’t about to meddle in daddy’s love life. 

  

XYLA:
Perhaps you’ll reconsider if I solve your
little mystery. That buzzing noise is
the sound of a fairy in flight.
 

HARMONIA:
A fairy? We don’t have a fairy. You mean to tell me that
someone let a fairy into this house? Cheese and crackers
- what could they have been thinking?

XYLA:
The son of Trey is here. I must go, but know this
- when you see me next, I expect cooperation.

HARMONIA:
I didn’t agree to that, but I’ll think on it. 

HARMONIA:
… Now you take your sweet time coming back, ya here.
I’m about to be very busy dealing with a fairy and all.
