14.

LADA

Take care of my empty glass, would
you? You're so good in that.

GUARD

Of course.

He leaves. Lada and Freasia exchange worried glances as they
look at the window.

FREASIA

How's our Nila out there?

LADA

Hopefully that man is as kind as
he's handsome.

FREASIA

You can think of only one thing,
don't you?

LADA

Except for Nila's safety, yes. I
kind of wish I was in her place.
And perhaps I would if you weren't
arguing with me about my good
looks.

Freasia scoffs in annoyance. Lada and Freasia approach the
window closer, looking out. Lada presses her face against
the glass to get a better view.

LADA

I think I can see her. And the man.
Good, he hasn't killed her yet.

FREASIA

Quit it. What are they doing?
Speaking?

LADA

No, it looks more like- Wait, no,
are they kissing?

FREASIA

They what?!
