'Aramis what are you doing?'

'Hunting.'

'...Hunting for what, exactly?'

'I'm hunting for- listen! Hear it?'

'…..I can't hear anything, Aramis.'

'Come on, Athos, surely you can hea- there! Listen!'

'….I still can't hear anything...'

'Do you have an ailment of the ears?! Porthos, you can at least hear it?'

'I told you I could, Aramis. I just can't see it.'

'd'artagnan, you can hear it too, yes?'

'I can hear it.'

'See! Maybe I should check your ears, Athos?'

'You're not coming anywhere near my ears! What is it that you all say you can hear?'

'Come closer and you'll be able to hear it, then!'

'I'm trying to sleep, as should you three be doing- you know we have an early start to get back to the city tomorrow!'

'I can't sleep with that incessant noise...'

'Aramis don't stand on the bed! Just go to sleep!'

'I need to find the blasted thing- there!'

'This is ridiculous- hang on, I'm coming over...this had better be worth the trouble.'

...

'Ooh are we having a sleepover, Athos?'

'Aramis I swear on all that is holy-'

'Alright, just listen for a few seconds...'

…...

'I can't hear anything, Aramis!'

'Maybe Athos scared it off!'

'Thank you, Porthos...'

'No, I assure you, if you just listen for a few more seconds...there! Hear it?'

'I can now...it is just harmless fly.'

''Tis no fly! That's a mosquito, I am sure of it!'

'Why don't you blow out your candle, then it will stop bothering you!'

'I'm reading!'

'God forbid anyone interrupt his reading, Athos...'

'Porthos you know reading in bed is one of life's little pleasures!'

'I'm sure its not the only pleasure you have when in bed, though?'

'Touché.'

'Can we just go to sleep now?!'

'No Athos, I must catch it!'

'Oh for heaven's sake, I am surrounded by idiots... I'm going to sleep.'

'You have to help us!'

'I will do nothing of the sort! Goodnight.'

'Well, that's true friendship for you, isn't it? D'artagnan, will you join me on this noble quest to rid this room of the mosquito menace?'

'If it will stop you complaining while everyone is trying to sleep, yes.'

'Excellent- you take that side of the room, and I'll keep watch over here...

'Alright...

'Now, when we catch it, we- listen! Its somewhere over here...'

…...

'Nearly got it!'

'Aramis if you keep banging the walls like that the landlord will come knocking on the door to tell us to leave!'

'I thought you were trying to sleep, Athos?'

'Alright, but don't expect me to come to your defence when he comes bursting through the door...I will tell him I slept through the whole thing...'

'Alright, we'll search quietly... found it yet, lad?'

'Nope. Perhaps it flew away?'

'Through the closed window?'

'I was only suggesting, Porthos, no need to get tetchy.'

'I don't know about tetchy, but I'm getting sleepy.'

'Perhaps this is a folly quest? Mayhaps we are destined tonight to be bettered by the great mosquito?'

'It has gone quiet now- maybe it snuck under the door?'

'Alright, I concede defeat- but only because Athos is glaring at me from his pillows!'

'I am not! I shall turn around if you start creating these perfidious lies!

'That's a good word for this late hour, my friend!'

'Go to sleep, Aramis.'

'Fine- goodnight, one and all.'

…...

…...

Buzzzzz

…...

Buzzzzzz

…...

'Aramis?'

'Yes, Athos?'

'Do you hear it?'

'I do indeed.'

'…..light the other candles- I cannot sleep with that annoying noise!'

'See, I knew you'd come round and join us!'

'Shut up...'

"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito." Dalai Lama.
