ZYFAN:

 I just spoke with our guardian. I wanted to express my gratitude for giving us our own room here, and then again, when we move to our new home and … she insulted me.

KARANTHIR:

 A-m insulted you? I find that hard to believe.

ZYFAN: 

Well, believe it, because it is true. She said I was … I am … 

oh it is so embarrassing.

KARANTHIR: 

You must tell me.

KARANTHIR:

 Adorable? My God - what could that woman have been thinking? I know, perhaps she took one look at those big puppy dog eyes of yours and the word couldn’t help but slip out?

ZYFAN:

 You are mocking me!

KARANTHIR: 

How can I not? Zyfan I honestly believe you're the most 

adorable person I've ever encountered, anywhere, ever.

ZYFAN:

 I am not. I may have been adorable when I was a child

but no more. I am a trained warrior. I have led men into battle …

KARANTHIR:

 And I’m sure you looked absolutely adorable doing so.

ZYFAN:

 I do not appreciate this, Karanthir. You will take it back. 

Take it all back and tell me I am not adorable.

KARANTHIR:

 I could but I’d be lying to you.

ZYFAN:

 You can be so insufferable at times. I’ll show you!

ZYFAN: 

... You will take it back - now!

KARANTHIR: 

Just what do you intend to do with that sword?

ZYFAN: 

I will force you to … to beg my forgiveness.

KARANTHIR:

 I’m happy to beg my prince, but forgiveness
wouldn't be my objective.

ZYFAN: 

I said beg, on your knees!

KARANTHIR:
On my knees?

ZYFAN: 

On your knees!

then in one swift motion

swoosh

CRASH

KARANTHIR:

Hey! 

ZYFAN:

Oh Karanthir I am so sorry. I got carried away. Are you hurt?

KARANTHIR: 

Not at all. That was very unexpected my prince. You truly
are an extraordinary swordsman. Please carry on.

ZYFAN:

 Oh? I am not quite sure what to do next.

KARANTHIR:

 You have me on my knees and can think of nothing? 

Where’s your weapon?

ZYFAN:

 Oh yes … here it is.

KARANTHIR: 

That’s not the weapon I had in mind … 

Come here and I’ll beg your forgiveness as asked.

ZYFAN:

 I think not. I do not see why you should be giving 

me orders when it is I who holds the sword.

KARANTHIR:

And you’re quite handy with it too, my prince. 

You're so adorable - I can barely resist you.

ZYFAN:
There is that word again. Now you are just
trying to make me angry. I will need my sword
no longer. I will … I will just ....

ZYFAN:

 ... restrain you until you surrender to me.

KARANTHIR: 

That would be an unconditional surrender, my prince?

ZYFAN: 

I would not accept any other.

KARANTHIR: 

Then I have no other choice but to yield to you.
