Seteth & Manuela C

Seteth
Manuela. A moment?

Manuela
Oh, hello, Seteth.

Manuela
I must apologize, but I am quite busy. Perhaps we could talk another time?

Seteth
I have already confirmed that you have no urgent business. I would like to hear your explanation now.

Manuela
My explanation? For what?

Seteth
Allow me to be more specific. Where were you, and what were you doing, last night?

Manuela
Oh, my dear Seteth. You must relax that worried brow. Those forehead creases will ruin your beauty.

Seteth
Just answer the question, please.

Manuela
What question is that? The one you already know the answer to?

Manuela
Last night, I had a bit of fun, and a bit of drink. Less of one and more of the other, sure. But...

Seteth
How much you drink is not my concern.

Seteth
But you are an adult who is tasked with the supervision of children. You should not be causing trouble for the students.

Seteth
It is unacceptable for you to expose them to your disgraceful behavior. Even more so to impose upon them the labor of cleaning up your mess.

Manuela
Oh, don't oversell it. All they did was walk with me back to my room.

Seteth
From what I hear, you had to be carried.

Manuela
I'd like to think I'd remember that. If it happened— and it probably didn't—it's not as if I'm heavy. Nobody hurt themselves. Did they?

Manuela
Come on, Seteth! Loosen up.

Manuela
If you're so worried about how I'll behave, why don't you join me for a drink sometime?

Manuela
I mean, I only get in trouble when I drink alone...

Seteth
If it will help to improve your behavior, I would not object to accompanying you from now on.

Manuela
Well, that sounds just delicious. What are you doing tonight around—

Seteth
But first, I will lecture you on all of the intricacies of proper behavior in the supervision of children. And until I am done, you will not drink a drop of alcohol.

Seteth
If you agree to those conditions, I will join you. I will even drink with you. Alcohol has little effect on me.

Manuela
That is just... You know, getting lectured by you is, well, I think the word is "torture." Yes. That's it. Torture. And I won't have it.

Manuela
I'm going to go get a drink and try to forget this ever happened.

Seteth
How is it that you imagine yourself the tortured one?
