Scanlan, Kaylie and others in “Unfinished Business”

Scanlan

(to Kaylie as they enter a room) And then, I disguised us all as cows! (he and Kaylie laugh) I know. Brilliant, right?

Tell me, Scanlan Shorthalt, how did you, of all people, find yourself overthrowing tyrants and slaying dragons?

Scanlan

(smacks lips as he lays in the bed wearing his undies) Ah, you know, I mean, the life of an entertainer brings endless adventure, freedom, and exploration.

Ooh, that sounds fun. But do you know what's even more fun?

Scanlan

Ooh, bondage? Me like-y. (chuckles as Kaylie ties up his arms) Also not opposed to being called daddy if the mood suits, hmm?

I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

Scanlan

Ooh. Do you, uh... Do you feel that? That's chemistry. And we have it.

We sure have something.

Scanlan

So, uh, tell me about yourself, beautiful Kaylie, eyes like the Marquesian sun.

I'm actually not too different from yourself. I grew up in Kymal, but I moved around a lot.

Scanlan

(Kaylie tightens his right arm) Ooh.

My mum gave up all her savings for my education.

(chuckles) Uh, oh, oh, yeah? Moms are the best.

(chuckles) Mine certainly was. You know, Dr. Dranzel spun many a tale about you, Scanlan Shorthalt.

Scanlan

Yeah, I mean, that's not surprising. That guy seemed like a bit of a fanboy.

But most of his stories I'd already heard... from my mother.

Scanlan

Huh. You, uh... You must make her quite, quite proud? (Kaylie laughs devilish, as Scanlan laughs nervously) Yeah.

Aye. She would be proud. (draws a blade) Proud I'm finally meeting the silver-tongued devil who whispered empty promises in her ear, then disappeared. Leaving her with nothing but a song. And me.

Scanlan

Wait... I'm daddy?!
