Mazoku All Day - Chapter 70: Fontane = Fountain?



Dynast is sitting in an armchair reading a book. Phibbi is sitting in front of him on the floor
and watches him carefully.

Dynast reads.

Phibbi watches him.

SILENCE

Dynast doesn't stop reading.

Phibbi doesn't stop watching him.

SILENCE

Dynast is still reading.

Phibbi is still watching.

SILENCE

Dynast goes on reading.

Phibbi goes on watching.

Dynast: WHAT??? You drive me completely nuts!

Phibbi: I haven't done anything!

Dynast: Oh yes, you. you. WATCHED!

Phibbi: Yeah, I did! What are you reading?

Dynast: A book!

Phibbi: Which one?

Dynast: This is nothing for small children!

Phibbi: Hey, I'm older than you!

Dynast (grins): I know! But you're smaller!

Phibbi: You're unfair.

SILENCE

Phibbi: How's the author called? Fountain?

Dynast: Well, actually he is called.

Phibbi walks away shaking his head.

Dynast: .Fontane. Err, Phibbi?

***

Phibbi: Hm, strange name!

Dolphin comes along. She joins Phibbi.

Dolphin: Fishy!

Phibbi: No, Fountain!

Dolphin: Fishy?

Phibbi: Yeah, go to Dynast if you don't believe me! Fountain!

Dolphin (thinks hard, nods): Fishy!

***

Dynast still reads his book, Dolphin joins him. She runs around looking at the shelves,
obviously searching for something. Dolphin carries a shoal of fish. Dynast goes on reading.
Dolphin finally shrugs and leaves the room.

Dynast: ????

***

Dolphin goes back to Phibbi.

Dolphin: Fishy? No fountain! No fishyplace!

Phibbi: ????
