SCENE III. Friar Keichii's cell.

Enter Keichii, with a basket

Keichii: Friar Keichii? This is not cool.
...
Looong speech ahead. [edits it, since none of the characters really want to make their full speech]
What a beautiful morning!

Sorata: ...That was it?

Keichii: That was pretty much the gist of it, yeah.

[Seishiro enters]

Seishiro: Good morning, father!

Keiichi: What on earth are you doing up so early? Are you ill? Either you're sick or you didn't go to bed last night.

[The characters backstage start snickering. Keiichi looks scandalized.]

....[muttered] Bunch of perverts...

Sorata: [interrupts. He's holding a rather large book] Oh, Subaru? It turns out Shakespeare really was a pervert. Just in case you care. I mean, dude. Hamlet. There's incest, dirty puns...

Subaru: OK, OK, I get the picture.

Seishiro: Aaaanyway....
You were right the second time- I got better rest than I would have gotten sleeping. [is smirking in a rather satisfied faction]

Keichii: [overacting, but not on purpose] Oh, my gosh! God pardon sin! You weren't with Kanoe, were you?

Seishiro: [looking a bit ill at the thought] Kanoe? Who?

Keiichi: Oh, good. But where were you, then?

Seishiro: OK, OK, I'll tell you, before you ask again. I've been...[leers] "feasting" with my enemy.

Sorata: Despite what I said earlier, I don't think that's what that line meant.

Seishiro: [sighs] Oh, fine. I went to the Sumeragi feast and ran into a really cute guy. I don't hate the Sumeragi family, since I'm in love with one of them. That stands in the way of hate.

Subaru: [mutter] Yeah, try telling that to CLAMP.

CLAMP: I heard that!

Subaru: [loud cough]Yeahso?[loud cough]

Keiichi: OK, you need to be straightforward with me.

Seishiro: Oh, you're no fun. I've fallen in love with the son of rich Aoki. And he loves me, too, so it's all good. We met and [smirk] flirted and exchanged vows. I'll tell you more later, but I pray that you will be willing to marry us today.

Keichii: Holy Saint Francis! You sure changed your mind fast.

Seishiro: Very funny. I didn't write this, you know.

Keichii: [ignoring him] If you've forgotten Kanoe so fast then obviously all you care about is appearances.

[There is a lot of sudden coughing backstage, most of it from Subaru's general direction.]

Keichii: Geez, and all it took was this Sumeragi guy to get you over Kanoe? After all that work I did to cheer you up?

Seishiro: [mock hurt] But you scolded me often for liking Kanoe.

Yuuto: [muttered offstage] Yeah, cause you'd have to be blind, deaf, and _stupid_ to consider her attractive.

Keichii: No, for crushing on her, not for loving.

Seishiro: [spontaneously skips a few lines] Don't scold me, please. The one I love now returns my feelings, unlike the last one.

Keiichi: [pauses to consider] Well, all right. There's at least one good thing about this- it may stop all the fighting between your houses.

Seishiro: Yay! Let's go, hurry, hurry!

Keichii: Let's take our time. When you run fast, you may stumble.
[exit]

Sorata: All together now:

All: FORESHADOWING!!!!
