Lucy was right; I regret it.

[A pause, the he nods.]

Thank you for taking care of him.

[Swings her legs - no box for her here]

Peter isn't angry, you know.

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Are you?

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Are you really sorry?

[Action] 1/2

[Another pause, then he starts again, taking her hand into his own.]

Yes, I am very sorry. I didn't mean a word of it, you know. I--

[He stops.]

[Caspian leans forward, off his chair to one knee. He holds her hand above his head and levels his gaze with the floor.]

I said the cruelest things to you, to you and to Aslan. There is nothing I can say that would make it right. Forgive me.

[She sits there for a fraction of a second, and squirms, then pulls him up by the hand]

I forgive you, King Caspian.

[Up on his feet as pulled. He looks down at her, only because she's much shorter, and nods.]

Thank you.

[Tugs him to sit down again.]

Now. Peter's birthday is soon.

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Er, plopping back down!]

Is it?

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he's terrible with them, he never remembers and he's bad with gifts, even when he was High King, but I think we should throw him a surprise party.

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Would he like that? I would help.

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Would you? I'd like to make his favorite foods but I don't think Susan and I can, we might have to buy it.

I think he would like it!

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

And it would be a secret, right? Until the day?

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Yes! He's turning seventeen, you know.

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Just a slight smile.]

Is that with or without the Golden Age? And what day?

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

I suppose then, he's thirty-two. But I don't count it.

It's on Thursday. Do you think that's not enough time?

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[A nod.]

I think we would have enough time, if everyone is willing. How are the others?

[Always count on Lucy to be perceptive.]

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Susan will be! I know it.

I think Ed will be okay too, once he's feeling better.

[She pauses]

I just want Peter to have a nice birthday. He deserves it. He's done so much for everyone.

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

He has. [Sipping his coffee yes.]

They are brothers, I don't see why he wouldn't.

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

And he loves you too, I know it!

[Innocent. She means like family, Caspian, don't have a cow]

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's very glad to be tanned because it hides the faint color in his cheeks.]

I should hope he does. We have shouldered each other's responsibilities long enough.

[Good save, yes? Yes.]

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Well then, I think we should decorate the house with lions!

[Action]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Uh, stare.]

Like pennants?

[Action]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Yes! And red streamers, or blue ones, he really likes blue.
