Owen Chevalier: *to self* So this is the place…
… pretty
ordinary. Maybe for now, pretty safe…
… Guess I’ll make
myself decent for whoever answers the door…
Owen: I’m here
to see Yoshi Murakami, if he’s available. Tell him
Owen Chevalier’s asking after him, would you, please?
Oona: Oh… does he know you?
Owen: From university,
hon. I’ll just wait outside for him, if that’s all right.
Oona: If you don’t mind. I’ll go check with him.
Meanwhile…
Fenchurch One:
Well, Yoshi… we’ve been waiting a long time for you…
Fenchurch Two:
Yes… sooo long…
Fenchurch Three: We want to make you happy… so happy…
Yoshi: I believe it, ladies… mmmmm…
Fenchurch One:
Yes… relax… and we’ll do the rest…
Fenchurch One:
Mmm, Yoshi… Yoshi… YOSHI…!
Yoshi: Ahhhh!!! What the
– Oona! Don’t just barge in on a guy when he’s
resting! What the hell is it?
Oona: Sorry – you didn’t look asleep to me. You have a visitor at the front
door, an Owen Chevalier from school, to see you. Thought you might like to
know!
Yoshi: Owen? What the hell -- *groan*. I’ll be out
in a minute.
Oona: He’s waiting just outside on the patio for
you, his suggestion.
Yoshi: Damn thoughtful of him *grumble*.
Yoshi: So – what do I owe for this little social
call? You interrupted some important business, so it’d better be good.
Owen: Well,
well, your highness – must’ve got up on the wrong side of the futon this
afternoon. I was concerned about you, is all. An old friend’s allowed some
concern for a pard, don’cha
think?
Yoshi: Whatever. Let’s talk outside here, then.
Owen: I
understand your looking for a place out of the way, ‘til things cool down.
Shame, though, you’re missing another semester of
school…
Yoshi: Your concern is touching. Right now it’s not
my priority. Maybe later.
Owen: Looks
like your face healed pretty well after that little misunderstanding with Jake.
It was one of his lighter jobs, though. You may not be so lucky next time,
depending on how you provoke him --
Yoshi: Uh-huh. Tell me something I don’t know.
Owen:
Seriously – I’m not that keen to have to tell your next of kin when you push
that proverbial envelope –
Yoshi: I didn’t ask you to be my keeper. I’ll be
fine. I’m just here to cool off, figure a new angle. Jake won’t be so ready to
pound me, then.
Owen: You’d be
better off just getting off this merry-go-round, instead. You know it, deep
down –
Yoshi: Look, Owen, it’s damn swell of you to care,
but I never asked you to. It’s my problem, and with a little time, I can figure
it out and fix things. I just need time –
Yoshi: Oh – hey, Fenchurch, Winslow.
Fenchurch: Hey
there, Yoshi! Nice day to hang outside, isn’t it?
Yoshi: Uh-huh – you’re welcome to join us –
Fenchurch:
Thanks – but we’ve got a killer exam to study for tomorrow – sorry!
**Win and Fen go
inside**
Owen: Back to
what I was saying –
Yoshi: Yeah… sure… let’s continue this conversation
another time… ‘kay?...
Owen: *to self*
My mistake – he ain’t safe HERE, either -- !
Yep, Yoshi
sure has his weaknesses, doesn’t he?
Fenchurch, Kenzo,
Persephone, Varius, Hibou
and Ulf got to go to
Is
possession nine tenths of the law?
