[Oh look, two Narnia royals. Arguing.]

I am the King of Narnia now and this blade is rightfully mine, gifted by the High King himself, dismissing any decree you may have.

I am in my rightful place by prescription and conquest and as the heir to the Telmarine throne.

You will have none of it.

How dare you.

I'm just calling it like it is. I think I've got that right.

No you don't, now I see you need to be educated. Rhindon in the hands of Peter Pevensie slayed the terrible wolf Maugrim and with it he fought the White Witch and centuries upon centuries later it was with this blade he brought the tyrant Miraz to his knees. The sword means more than you could ever imagine, and it is mine.

I'm definitely not the one that needs to be educated. And I don't need to imagine what it means, since you just felt the need to explain it to me, but if you're so sure that it's yours then why does Edmund think it's his?

Because Peter is his brother, as if family should mean anything. I grew up without one just as well.

Family does mean something. Everyone knows that. But if Edmund had any pride in himself at all he wouldn't use that as the reason for his argument.

To an extent perhaps you are right. Mine tried to kill me and for it I am a stronger man, the only kind who should sit upon the throne.

Of course I'm right. I'm like the foremost authority when it comes to stuff like that.

You guys aren't even in Narnia, though. Why is this even an issue when there's not actually a throne right now?

It is a matter of right, Claire, and no one shall take it from the other. Once a King or Queen or Narnia, always a King or Queen.

I hope you don't try to have a battle to the death or something. You're obviously cursed just like everyone else. Fighting about it now... really wouldn't solve things later.

audio ][

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

And how would you know this?

audio ][

[adamantined]

Because I have a brain.

audio ][

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes and that is why you, the authority on all things, are here alone without a family or a kingdom.

At least I had the family to begin with. Besides, the best authorities work alone.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

And you think you turned out better than I did?

audio ][

[adamantined]

Which one of us is standing around arguing over a piece of metal for a kingdom that isn't even in the same corner of reality right now?

I have no apologies for having responsibilities that transcend worlds.

audio ][

[adamantined]

Right now I think all you're proving is who can yell the loudest, not that you've got transcending responsibilities.

audio ][

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Because you think Rhindon is a stupid sword. You don't know enough about Narnia or about me.

audio ][

[adamantined]

And you obviously don't know anything about me.
