Chapter 11 - ELDER BROTHER? — PART B

 

EPISODE 11

Delano: Yes! Why are you troubling my sister?

The Guy: Troubling? Dude, my shirt got stained...

Delano: (Glares) Then go wash it, dummy.

The Guy: What?

Viewers: Oooooh!

The Guy: 😠 Did you just...?!

Rachav: Enough. No need for conflict. (To Delano) 🧐 That was pretty rude — not good.

Delano: Huh? {Her eyes… her scolding… so cute!} Yes, sis.

She ignores him and looks at the guy.

Rachav: (Very sincere) For the truth, you bumped into me.

The Guy: You are still—

Rachav: But I am genuinely sorry for ruining your gorgeous outfit.

The Guy: {😳 Gorgeous?} Well… well… hmph! I don't have time to deal with this.

He hurries away.

Rachav: (Sighs) I guess this cannot go to waste.

Rachav Rai picks up the fallen taco, and as she is about to wrap it up, Delano interrupts.

Delano: Sister, I hope you don't mind giving me this taco to feed my bunny.

Rachav: Bunnies eat tacos 😃 ?

Delano: We—

Strange Guy (Lennor): (Approaching) When you say "bunny," I hope you don't mean my bunny.

Delano: Of course not.

Lennor: (Doubtful) Hm…

Delano: Yoo! Look who we have here — Len. 😉 I told you we would meet again. Now you can totally confirm that I am a reincarnated prophet and that is something—

Rachav: Rachav Rai.

Delano: Uh?

Rachav: Name is Rachav Rai. I could see you were too carefree to introduce yourself, so I took the initiative.

Delano: 🙂 My bad — name's Delano Loper.

Rachav: 😄 Well, very nice to meet you.

Delano: {Wow… such dazzling smiles!}

Delano shields his eyes from the "brightness" of Rachav Rai's smile.

Narrator: Seriously, dude 🤨 ?

Delano: Um, can I call you Sister Rai?

Rachav: (Tilts head) Hm?

Delano: If you don't approve, I won—

Rachav: That is very much okay, dear brother… {in creation.}

Delano: My friend here is Lennor Yard.

Rachav: Nice to meet you.

Lennor: (Indifferent) Same.

Delano: Don't mind him. He is more nonchalant than interactive. How 'bout we hang out sometime? Maybe at a pub?

Rachav: Oh no, I can't.

Lennor: Why? You think you're too pure?

Delano: Lennor, don't judge her.

Rachav: {Ahh… an unbeliever.} (Snorts a smile) You are wrong, Mr. Lennor. I cannot go to a pub because I don't drink. And I dislike lousy places.

Narrator: 😳😐 Oh Rachav Rai, you say so — but on the other hand, your brain is the center of lousiness.

Rachav: Though I can invite you to a nice café sometime.

Delano: How great, Sister Rai!

Lennor: I'm going back to sit.

Lennor is completely ignored (not that he cares) as the two "siblings" exchange contacts.

Rachav Rai, having not handled smartphones in a long time, struggles, and Delano assists her.

They chuckle together.

At the Empire Territory, under the cool shaded Garden...

Yancy: 😄 (To Tiberius) Finish your work. I'll take a look around the garden.

Yancy Wil walks away, observing the scenery.

A Maid: Gentleman Yancy — Honourable Kamen requests to see you.

Yancy: 😄 He's returned? Please, hold on.

Yancy Wil walks back to Tiberius and squats.

Yancy: 😄 Your dad wants to see me. I'll be back.

Tiberius: You do not need to tell me of your outing s—

Yancy: 😄 You mean whereabouts—

Tiberius freezes.

Tiberius: {😳 I made a grammatical mistake.}

Yancy: 😄 (Noticing) It's alright. You don't need to be so perfect — especially at your age.

He tries to pat his head, but Tiberius shifts away.

Yancy: 😄 🙂 (Stands) Be good.

Inside the cold ventilated den (home office) of Mr. Vajezatha Kamen.

Yancy stands before his polished dark-brown desk.

Yancy: 😄Good day, Sir Kamen. I am—

Mr. Kamen: Yancy Wil Maarschalkerweerd.

He turns his swivel chair to face him.

Mr. Kamen: …isn't it?
