THE NEXT MORNING . . . .

(sun dawns bright and early)

Callum: *yawns, gets out of bed and starts walking downstairs. Rayla and Ethari are already awake and chatting*

Rayla: Good morning Callum.

Callum: *Yawns* Mooooooorning.

Ethari: Callum, are your friends all still sleeping?

Callum: Yep.

Ethari: Well, that figures. Rayla, do you want to see town again? The banning charm was taken off so that you can see the people too.

Rayla: Really?! Oh, Callum! I can finally take you on a tour of my Village!

Ethari: *smiles* Yes, Callum

Callum: I'd love that!

Rayla: Let's go now! *grabs Callum's wrist and starts yanking him to the door*

Ethari: *winks at Callum and mouths* You're putting up with a lot there.

Callum: *grins and mouths* Worth it.

(door slams)

Rayla: I can't believe this. Oh, Callum! *hugs him*

Callum: I'm glad you're happy.

Rayla: How could I not be? I can show you my school, where I trained as a kid, OOH the bakery! The best Moonberry tart you've ever tried! *pulls him off in one direction*

(Elves stare at Callum a lot)

Rayla: Don't pay any attention to them. We're here!

(Callum and Rayla stop at a cozy little shop)

Rayla: *knocks on window, Elf opens it*

Elf dude: Rayla!

Rayla: Hello Tolian!

Tolian: Who's your friend?

Rayla: This is Callum.

Callum: Hello.

Tolian: Hi. Nice to meet you Callum. You're usual, Rayla?

Rayla: *grins* Yes. Except two of them. *nudges callum*

Tolian: *hands her two steaming napkins* See you later Rayla!

Rayla: Bye Tolian! *Callum and Rayla start walking away.

Callum: In your village, don't you call people Mr and Ms??

Rayla: Sometimes but Tolian is only 4 years older than me.

Callum: Oh.

Rayla: *starts walking backwards to talk to Callum* Eat it.

Callum: What, OH. *looks down at tart in napkin thoughtfully, then nibbles it, his face lights up and eats more*

Rayla: *laughs. Still is walking backwards.*

Callum: What is IN this?

Rayla: Moonberries mainly. You like it?

Callum: Wow.

(stranger walks behind Rayla and they both fall)

Rayla: Ah!

Callum: Rayla!

Stanger: *stands up* Sorry about that. *looks at Rayla* Wait, Rayla?

Rayla: *squints* N-Nadian? *smiles* Nadian!

Nadian: Rayla! I've missed you so much! Where've you been?

Rayla: I've been in Katolis, With Callum.
