War is completely needless when taking pleasure in the sound of your own voice.


Captain Barbossa, I will be able to continue working on the Black Swann tomorrow.

Kara, I hope that you are doing well. It seems Turkish Delights are infectious.

Pevensies, I brought tea.

[Susan was thinking of many things. A pleasant walk at night was not what she's accustomed to doing with a boy. Especially a boy with something to say.]

I hadn't known.

[They were going to talk about that moment! Her heart was in her throat and then her feet.]

Caspian-, I thought-I thought that you-...

[She releases his arm and steps back.]

But-but why then-?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Released, but he keeps looking at her, steeling himself to not break eye contact.]

What do you mean why?

[Oh he doesn't know it yet, but those are stupid words.]

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes burn and well with tears. Susan would notice if she wasn't so fixed on trying to figure out who was the person standing in front of her.]

You bloody wretch, I thought you liked me! You never said or showed otherwise.

[Susan reached for him again only this time to press him back not even knowing why.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Susan--

[He totters back a step from her push.]

I don't have any acceptable explanation for you. I thought I did, now I am unsure.

[His brow furrows.]

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

[Why couldn't he understand? Why was he so calm over this? She felt so out of line and irrational. It only upset her more.]

Are we even talking about the same thing? How can you be so casual?

[Susan pushes him again, then retreats backward.]

I think you're more than unsure. Unclear, unclout...unbelievable.

[Now, now she was crying and felt utterly ridiculous.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's not calm, he's confused! It's his dark Telmarine looks that make it difficult to 'read' Caspian. News reports say he has no pupils.]

I thought it best that you should know--

[Pushed. Okay this time he takes her by the wrist, gently of course, but he doesn't want her to retreat completely.]

I am sorry, Susan.

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

Best I should know!

[Susan shakes her arm, her hand balls into a fist and takes to making swipes at his head. Hoping to escape if not box sense into him.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Oh that was definitely NOT the right thing to say, and for a brief moment he damns Peter and Toshiko. At the shaking he immediately releases her, only to get clocked in the mouth. It's a nice audible smack, but not her hardest... right?]

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

[She steps on his foot as hard as she can. And knocks another against the side of his head. Susan doesn't savor the results. Instead she turns away and dabs her eyes with her sore knuckles starting back to the flat.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Susan please--

[Try to understand. Well that's definitely a lost cause! The foot on his keeps him in place, and he brings his hands up to shield his face. Her fist catches his eye, that's going to leave an ugly bruise. He stumbles aside but quickly regains footing.]

......

[Caspian thinks about calling her back, and doesn't.]
