Myna (unconvincingly). No, Dad, thanks. Callista will come for me in the morning, and together we will go to the guys. Don't worry about me, everything will be fine!
Polycarp looks at his mother, and his mother nods approvingly at him. Polycarp discreetly nods approvingly to his daughter.
ZTM.
Scene 2. Barrack
Morning. No one in the house is visible. There is a knock on the door.
Polycarp's voice (you can't see him yet, you can only hear him). Who else is there with urban habits? Come in, why are you knocking? We don't have locked doors! Callista
enters with a backpack on her shoulders, her clothes are hiking. Polycarp comes out to meet her, girds himself.
Callista (cheerfully). Hello, Uncle Polycarp. And what about the Lane? Still sleeping?
Polycarp (kindly). Hello, hello. No, I'm up already. (Calling her daughter, loudly) Maina! Callista has spoiled me, come on!
A swarming Lane minces into the room for a few seconds, it's almost ready.
Maina (to a friend). Hello. I am now.
Myna runs away again. Vera enters the room.
Callista (cheerfully). Aunt Ver, hello!
Vera (kindly). Hello, Callista. So what? Are you ready?
Callista (quite). Gathered.
Vera (kindly). Well done. Maybe a cup of tea on the path?
Callista (with warmth). Oh, no, thanks, I'm just from the table. So, if you give me some water to drink– I won't refuse.
Polycarp is busy at the stove at this time, he has a kettle at hand. He pours for himself and Callista. He gives the girl a glass of water.
Callista drinks, hands over the glass.
Callista (with warmth). Thanks.
The Lane comes out. She's completely ready. He approaches his girlfriend, stands facing his parents (both are facing their parents), waiting for some kind of blessing.
Vera (kindly). Well…, come on, girls, with God!
Maina hugs her father goodbye, who is passing by her at this moment on some business of his own. He is not very fond of tenderness.
Myna throws her backpack on her shoulders, the girls approach the exit (to the door, if there is one on the stage), once again look at Myna's parents.
Polycarp looks at the girls with restraint. He is not very happy about this idea.
Maina (to her father, ingratiatingly, a little as if guiltily). Dad?
Polycarp (kindly, "stepping over himself"). Yes, go already, go …
the girls are happy to leave in a hurry.
ZTM.
Scene 3. Forest
Musical accompaniment, preferably coupled with the sounds of nature.
A dense forest, a person here is an infrequent phenomenon.
We give the viewer to get acquainted with the scenery, sounds, and surroundings.
Here are two girls showing up, Maina and Callista. They are already pretty tired of dragging their backpacks. But they are still walking, sighing heavily, examining the place they have reached at this stage.
The music stops.
Maina (with a tear from fatigue). Callista, I don't know about you, but I find it appropriate to take a break. The "Y" is stressed, I clarify. Let's make a halt, eh?
Callista (also pretty tired). Come on, I wanted to suggest it myself. The place seems to be nothing. All. Halt!
The girls throw off their backpacks.
Maina (in a tired voice). You know, I wouldn't mind a snack. How are you?
Callista (delighted). Sure. Unpacking. What did they pick up for you there?
They begin to unpack backpacks. They get simple provisions peculiar to the area (bread, lard, vegetables …). They share with each other, who is much. They settle down, have a meal.
They communicate during the meal.
Callista (with interest). How did it go?
Maina (almost cheerfully). You mean the parents?
Callista (with interest). Yeah. How did they let you go? To be honest, I didn't really hope, I thought I would have to go alone.
Myna (deliberately indignant). Doubted me?
Callista, Maina (together, playfully, meaningfully). Mmm…
Callista (with interest). I didn't doubt you. But in your parents… Well, judge for yourself who will let her daughter go to a remote forest for a few days. You have a full-fledged family, and full-fledged views on life. In theory– they shouldn't have let you go. How did you persuade them?
