Lucy was right; I regret it.

It wasn't your fault.

[Caspian startles at the sound of his voice. He was at the window sill, alone, brooding. He looks over his shoulder to Peter, then shifts his gaze downward.]

I was in a state.

We could tell.

[Peter takes a seat on the couch, but keeps his gaze on Caspian.]

You weren't the only one.

[He looks like he's about to say one thing, then he says something else.]

How is Edmund?

[They haven't exchanged words all day, and he knows what they did to his face.]

He's fine now. Probably a bit sore, but that's to be expected.

[No comment on his mental state.]

How are you?

[Caspian nods, sore himself. He still has those bandages and bruises, having refused Lucy's cordial.]

I am all right, now.

[Peter frowns at that. Brooding does not equate to being fine, but he doesn't push it.]

How is your head?

Better.

[He reaches with his good arm to rub the back of his neck.]

We're lucky the fight ended where it did. There were quite a few close calls.

[He's not going to mention what happened with Ed after Caspian konked out.]

Yes, we are.

[Another nod, then he licks his lips briefly.]

I'm sorry I challenged you for your right.

It's all right, Caspian. You weren't in your right state of mind.

[Peter shifts on the couch. Apologies are nice, but there's no need in this case.]

Although, you may want to apologise to Aslan.

[It's a joke, perhaps.]

I tried.

[Whether his apology was accepted or not is yet to be seen, but Lucy forgave him. Caspian looks to Peter.]

I killed him, Peter, and it--

[Felt good. He wants to say it felt good to have his blade stuck deep in the crevice between Miraz's throat and collar. A classic Telmarine execution.]

It was very vivid. What was the point?

There was no point. It just proves you made the correct decision back then.

[He says with a small frown. He tries to keep his words reassuring.]

You're nothing like your uncle, Caspian.

Action?

From: [identity profile] treadingdawn.livejournal.com
Thank you.

[For his words, for fighting him, for giving Caspian the choice, and more things Caspian can't put into words but his eyes do the talking for him. He smiles slightly, he knows Peter's trying.]

And what about you?

[An upnod to Peter's wounds.]

[Funny question, that. Peter's been in two fights in two days, and he considers himself lucky to get out of them with no serious injuries.]

Nothing serious. They're mainly superficial wounds.

[That dagger hurt, though!]

[Serious meaning not dead? Peter's scale of severity needs fixing!]

That's good. I would not want to put you out of working order.

[Caspian nods, his mood a little better. He's only glad it wasn't as bad as it could've been.]

[That would make a very good Monty Python skit. For some odd reason, he finds Caspian's last statement humorous, and it's enough to make him grin.]

It would take a lot more than that to keep me out. Between the three of us, I think I off easiest.

[If they only knew about the Black Knight. He turns to face Peter more directly now, though he's still seated at the window.]

What?

[What, what?]

Ed broke his nose, and you were injured as well.

Either you are quite skilled or you are lucky.

[That's what.]

[It's the 1st. That, or he's downplaying any injury he does have.]

I would hope it's more than just luck.

[Caspian doesn't put that past Peter.]

And I would hope you would tell someone if you are feeling unwell.

[Not accusing the High King, just sayin'.]

When it's serious enough, I do.

[Peter has it handled.]

[As usual, that Peter. He makes a loose fist to rest his chin against his fingers.]

As you say, Peter.
