Effie: I had Robin round here the other day – well the girls invited him in.
Sadie: Oh, really? I still haven’t met him.
Will: Me neither, I wasn’t home!
Daisy: He talks funny!
Will: So does Uncle Jake, but we don’t hold it against him, do we?
Effie: He said he’s met you, Dan, at some awards night.
Sadie: Oh yes, Dan mentioned that the other week, didn’t you darling?
Effie: Robin was wondering if you would remember!
Dan: Oh yeah, I remember it very well – I think it must have been a couple of years ago now.
Dan: He made a bit of an impression on me, actually.
Will: In what way?
Dan: Well…it was at the party after the awards, lots of people there but he just seemed very out of place, very alone. I felt sorry for him, so I went over to say hi, and he said he enjoyed the series I’d just done, and we chatted about that for a bit. He seemed like a really nice kid –very shy, though.
Effie: I thought he was very sweet.
Dan: Anyway, then someone came over and dragged him away to meet someone else. I caught sight of him a couple more times during the evening, he was always surrounded by his entourage or whatever, though, so I didn’t get to speak to him again – shame, really, because he looked like he needed rescuing.
Sadie: Maybe we should invite him round – with Lizzie, of course. Have a little dinner party or something.
Dan: Oh that sounds a bit formal, angel!
Dan: We should just have a barbecue, or something a bit more relaxed – he’s just a kid, isn’t he?
Will: Trouble is you can’t count on the weather, can you, if you want to plan anything in advance.
Sadie: I suppose not, darling…oh well, if it rains, we could have a games evening indoors instead.
Dan: That would be fun! We can make up teams and have a little competition.
Dan: You two will come, won’t you?
Will: I dunno – what sort of games are you thinking of?
Sadie: Oh – well – whatever people want to play! Perhaps Niamh and Tom can find out what Robin likes doing. Why?
Will: Because I am NEVER playing Twister with you again…
