Thirst
Merry_Ryan for Ekio
EKIO (L)
Male 23-38. A slave who works the fields and is desperate to escape. A dreamer who no longer can take the brutality of life. Curious, hopeful, has a sense of humor and a lightness despite his life situation.
EKIO
Why did you wake me up!?
LILI
What? You almost got us both in trouble.
EKIO
I was dreaming of surfing the waves of point Halipa! And you woke me up!?
LILI
Didn’t you hear me!? The guard came and was about to punish us if not for end of day.
EKIO
Put me in solitary, I’ll surf some more in my sleep. I’m done with this life.
LILI
Enough with your foolishness, we’re late everyone has already left.
Lili helps Ekio to his feet. They begin walking to Warehouse 13, all the other salties are far ahead.
EKIO
When I fall again, don’t help me, don’t wake me, let come what may.
LILI
Don’t say that.
EKIO
If dying is anything like dreaming, I’d rather be dead.
