Sanctuary,
10:00 p.m.
In Leo Temple,
Aiolia is pacing restlessly. Half an hour passes. Then another.
Aiolia: What the hell is she doing
?
Then, suddenly,
Scorpio Milo arrives running, completely out of breath.
Aiolia (surprised): Milo?
What are you doing here?
Milo: What do you... pff...
pff... What do you mean? It is I who should ask you what you are doing
here. I've been waiting for you at the bar for at last two hours and
then I had to climb back all these stupid stairs to finally find you!
Aiolia: But I'm sure I told
you I am to be interviewed this evening!
Milo: I know you are to
be interviewed this evening! I am the one who's interviewing you!
Aiolia (suspicious): What
do you mean, you're the one who's interviewing me? Where is the usual
girl? Stayka?
Milo: She's... err...
ill.
Aiolia (more and more suspicious):
Ill? Then why didn't she warn me about it?
Milo (trying to look innocent):
No idea...
Aiolia: You know, somehow,
I'm sure you're responsible for this. Stayka didn't truly intend to
interview me, did she? It was you all along!
Milo (muttering): Why
can't you always act stupid, Aiolia? It would be much easier. (Louder)
All right, I admit it: it was me all along. But that shouldn't be a
problem. After all, you want to be interviewed, don't you?
Aiolia: Yes... Yes, of course.
But it would have been much more pleasant to be interviewed by a girl,
I'm sure.
Milo (leaning close):
Oh, but I can act seductively, too, if you desire so...
Aiolia (backing off quickly): You...
Don't touch me!
Milo: You know, Aiolia,
you truly have no sense of humor. So, do we begin this interview?
Aiolia: Well, okay...
Milo: Hmm, I've never
done an interview before in my life, so I suppose we should begin at
the start. How did you become a Gold Saint?
Aiolia (very proud): Well,
as you know, my brother was Sagittarius Gold Saint Aioros...
Milo: And he pulled strings
with the Pope so you, too, could have a Gold Cloth?
Aiolia (angry): No, he didn't!
Anyway, when I received my Cloth, Saga was the Pope, even if nobody
knew it, and everybody thought my brother was a traitor.
Milo: Including you.
Aiolia (with a sad voice):
Well, yes, including me. But it wasn't my fault. You cannot understand
that, you never were in the same situation. One day, I was the brother
of one of the most respected Gold Saints of Sanctuary. The day after,
I was brother to the betrayer of Sanctuary, who had made an attempt
to kill Athena. Even Shura said he was a traitor, and he was Aioros'
best friend before that! I suffered greatly after that. I was left all
alone, without anybody to help me or teach me and... snif... snif...
(crying)
Milo: Excellent! How moving!
I'm sure that will look very good in the interview. People are easily
touched by a tragic childhood. Especially girls. This is gonna be even
better than I thought at first, ha ha!
Aiolia (still sniffling):
Milo?
Milo: Yes, Aiolia?
Aiolia: Remind me to kill
you horribly when I'll have some free time, will you?
Milo: Whatever
you say. Now, let's pursue the interview. Next question... err... oh,
yes, who exactly is your girl-friend? Shaina or Marin?
Aiolia (furious): You already
asked that before!
Milo: Yes, but your answer
was... not very conclusive.
Aiolia: Why in hell do you
want to know that, anyway? That is none of your concern!
Milo: Hey, this is an interview!
I'm sure there's a lot of girls who're truly eager to know the truth.
Aiolia (looking surprised):
Are you sure of that?
Milo: Well... err... no.
But that's a possibility. So, do you agree to answer to the question?
Aiolia: No!
Milo: Why? Anyway, I lied:
I'm sure no one will care.
Aiolia (indignant): No one?!
Learn that I have had, and still have, a lot of girl-friends, be it
in Sanctuary or outside! More girl-friends than you'll ever have!
Milo: Ah! You don't know
what you're talking about!
Aiolia: Oh yeah! Well, I'll
just show you when this interview is over!
Milo: Yeah, sure. Next
question: why do you think you're the most qualified to be Kitten Gold
Saint?
Aiolia: Kitten Gold Saint?!!
Why, you insect...
Milo (tired tone): A scorpion
is not an insect, but I suppose nobody ever told you that.
Aiolia: No! And anyway,
I don't give a damn about what scorpions are!
Milo: Don't become vulgar,
please. This is an interview. Now, could you answer the question? Why
do you think you're the most qualified to be... Leo Gold Saint?
Aiolia (surprised): Well,
that's obvious! I have discovered my Seventh Sense and I am Leo, so...
Milo: No, no, no, I meant:
what qualities do you have that make you worthy of being Leo Saint?
Aiolia: Oh, that! Well,
I have all the qualities of a Leo, obviously. I'm honest, brave, trustworthy,
honorable, charismatic...
Milo (grumbling): And modest...
Aiolia: ...and, unlike some
other Gold Saints, I am absolutelly not arrogant, nor vain, nor cruel...
Milo (interrupting): Yeah,
yeah, I know, you're perfect. I didn't intend you to make a speech on
how much better than us you are!
Aiolia: Well, as a matter
of fact, you asked me that question.
Milo: Maybe I'd better
stop this interview here or I think I'll go nuts.
Aiolia: As you wish. I'm
curious to know how many drooldrops you'll give me.
Milo (grinning): Drooldrops?
Me? To you? Stop dreaming, boy! I suppose I could ask Stayka about it,
but, since you're not one of her favourite Saints, you'll probably end
up with half a drooldrop, at best.
Aiolia (eyes narrowing):
You evil... You tricked me! You tricked me all along! I'm going to kill
you now!
Milo (whispering softly):
Oh, you're so sexy when you say that, Aiolia...
Aiolia (disgusted): Oh,
stop it, for the love of Athena!
Milo: Don't tell me you
seduced her, too! I wouldn't believe you.
Aiolia: Oh yes? I can seduce
anyone, do you hear me? Anyone!
Milo: Then, I suggest
something. Why don't we ask all the female Saints and novices of Sanctuary
to give you your amount of drooldrops? We could make them vote.
Aiolia: Okay, let's go.
They both
leave Leo Temple. It is now very late.
One hour
later, they're back.
Milo (incensed): I don't
believe it! They all said the same! How could you... How did you...
Aiolia (looking smug): Well,
I had warned you.
Milo: Yes, but... I mean,
some of the girls we asked have been my girl-friends!
Aiolia (with an evil grin):
Looks like I am more of a Casanova than you, Milo.
Milo: Five drooldrops!
I still don't believe it.
Aiolia: Now, you know for
sure who is the greatest seducer of Sanctuary.
Milo (angry): I'm sure
you tricked me somehow. Everybody knows I am the greatest seducer of
Sanctuary.
Aiolia: Don't make me laugh!
Anyway, you just have to ask about any girl to know that I am much better-looking
than you.
Milo: No, you're not!
Aiolia: Yes, I am!
Milo: Are not!
Aiolia: Am!
Milo: Are not!
Aiolia: Am!
.....
...
..
.
Stayka: Well, I couldn't believe
it, but the girls of Sanctuary voted and decided on 5 (!) drooldrops
for Leo Aiolia. Well, to be honest, I would have given him only three
- but the majority counts...
