Voice Post//The Dawn Treader//By The Sea

[treadingdawn]

[It's silence. A little bit of water splishing. Then singing. It sounds something like this.]

Hatred enfolds us...inculcates the minds with its heresy.

Laymen enfold us...clemency arrives to set you free.

[ooc: Action welcome! He's prowling the waters around the Dawn Treader. Beware. Also sdlkjfglsad sorry for disappearing I locked myself out of his account during the great LJ Login debacle ~__~;]

Why are you singing?

[ Very well too but they're both already aware of how Caspian X excels at this and ... a certain High King... does not. So much.

Where are you is on the tip of his tongue too but then, though he makes the obvious assumption anyway - the shore, more or less. ]

[SILENCE. Oh hear that Peter? Your sister's in the water with him.]

All right. Be that way.

[ Peter ends up down at the beach in less time than it might take other people, shortcut included but his stride the kind of purposeful that makes seconds out of minutes. He squints out at the water, spotting non-wave-like movement and with his arms folded, heading toward the Dawn Treader while he's at it. ]

Odd hour for a swim, isn't it?

[You won't see him break the surface, High King, but he's talking to you from somewhere just beyond the dragon ship.]

All hours are good hours for a man who knows the sea.

[ Peter, as it happens, ends up talking to that non wave-like movement just barely disrupting the water, easy to miss in the dark but the blond has sharp sight - whatever anyone might say. ]

Makes one of us then. Why won't you come out?

[ No...pun intended. Particularly since he's not familiar with the colloquialism. ]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Why don't you come in?

[No pun acknowledged, barrier and all, but it IS the obvious question to throw back at the blond.]

[oshutup.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you aren't complaining about the cold.

[ It's not actually an answer but that hardly seems important. People all over have been acting strange and stranger even for the City. He's supposing this has something to do with it but so far it seems harmless enough. ]

The water's warmer this time. You'd know if you'd put a foot in it.

[Now he's skimming from side to side, top of his head cresting but without a dorsal fin or eyebrow whiskers it just looks like an opposite current.]

[oshutup.livejournal.com]

You, [ he says drily ] are trying to trick me. [ I think. Or not, is the other thing he thinks but it's just a series of tiny tests, watching Caspian finally surface, brow arching at how he mostly stays under the water line. He wants to ask about the song again as well but that can wait for the moment. ]

What do you have against the water? Is it because you can't swim? [He knows Peter can swim.] Is it because you resemble a drowned bilge rat when you're wet?

[He knows Peter doesn't. He's just trying to tease him. Finally the Telmarine's chest high from the surface.]

[oshutup.livejournal.com]

[ Ah, there he is. Er wait a second. Not that it's extremely visible in the dark but Peter frowns, leaning forward a little. ]

I have nothing against water. Perhaps my problem is with you - swanning off for a midnight dive for no reason.

[ It's a poor guise really but Peter's not overly concerned, more or less the question palpable in the space of those words: or is there a reason? Not that he's altogether certain Caspian has any intention of telling him directly...he'll probably have to go down to see after all.

Drat him. ]

Swanning? Do I look like a swan to you?

[Snort. What is that remark even.]

[oshutup.livejournal.com]

Not pale enough, but we could place you in a lake and see if I change my mind.

[Except Peter's seen him in a lake too, with a salamander named Salamander and no it's true, Caspian never did look much like a swan. Seal seems...more appropriate if no more alike. Hm.]
