Capheus revels in Jean Claude's fight scenes. Kala glances away from the violence and her eyes land the briefcase full of drugs.
"My company made these drugs," she tells him. "Has your mother been having any side effects? Headaches, dry mouth? Make sure she is taking this one," she shakes the bottle at him, "with some food."
"Kala?" he manages to interject. "What are you doing?" She feels him in her mind, as if he's peering around a screen into her thoughts.
"I am nervous," she says, even as he realizes it for himself. "I think I must tell my fiance that I cannot marry him."
"Well thank you for your concern. I do wish that I could afford to take my mother to a doctor, but virus…" he trails off for a moment, "Everyone in Nairobi knows what drugs you need for that."
He stands up and wraps an arm around her shoulders, "Thank you," his easy smile makes her feel steadier than she has in days.
Kala sighs, and for a moment they're standing in her room. The smells of Bombay waft around him as he pulls himself back home.
I kept expecting to see this happen in the show. There's a plotline about a pharmacist and another about prescription drugs, I thought it would make sense.
I also think that Capheus and Kala would get along really well. I'd like to see more of them hanging out.
Please let me know what you think.
