A castle for a day is better than no castle at all, right?

Things seem quiet. So tell me about your world. Tell me what makes you wonder, if perhaps what you have there might be found elsewhere or even here. I will start.

Where I am from we have gryphons. They are a bit like a lion with an eagle's tail, face, talons, and wings. For many years I didn't know they existed in my world, much less on other worlds. To be honest, at the time I was unaware that other worlds even existed at all. I have come to learn Narnia is not the only place with gryphons and it's interesting to hear how different they are for other people.

But flying with a gryphon is still hard to match in excitement and majesty.

So tell me about unicorns or krakens, dragons or drop bears, and share with me what makes you wonder.

It never occurred to me to ask Lightfoot that kind of question.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Well I suppose it's a little awkward.

"Why do you only like girls?"

In New York they would call that sexist. Or perverted.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No no. Karolina tells me it's 'sexist' if you only treat them differently, but liking one or the other or both is okay.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Well. I guess that's true. Although you really shouldn't say it, either, because that makes you seem....

Well by like I don't mean romantically....although with unicorns that's...

Wait.

Wow.

Sorry, I think I've spent too much time with Cori Robin people who have dirty minds overthinking this.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

You only met Lightfoot? No Narnian unicorns?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

What?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That's right, only Lightfoot. No Narnian unicorns.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Nevermind, it's stupid.

Well, I'm sure that one day you'll meet a Narnian Unicorn. And if you ever want to travel around the Homelands, if you find you can, I'll send you with word from me. So my friends can show you around.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I would like that very much, Blue. And should you come to Narnia you are always welcome within our borders without issue.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Well, then I'll arrive at the border and insist that I am a guest of King Caspian the X of Narnia.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I will let them know to recognize you as a young man who bears a slight resemblance to our High King.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Except I smile more!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That is very true.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

You'll know it's me because I'll play Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy when I'm approaching the gates of your castle.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I will have to think of a song to play when I approach Albion.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm....well.

Which song do you play best?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Um...a lot of them?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I mean--the ones I do know I play well, but I don't know that many.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Well which one do you like to play the most?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I don't know...a saltarello, maybe.

Whatever you have me practicing for the 'double bass' is interesting too.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Do you like the double bass? I think it fits you!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It is fun to play, the tone is very rich and deep. It is almost soothing.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I can give you some music that really highlights it, too.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It would be my pleasure, Blue.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Great! The next time I see you I'll have some prepared.
