[Is this for real?]

[Why yes. Yes it is.]

Hello. Um, this is Caspian--

[BEEEEEEEEEEEP. Sultry woman's voice:]

Hola. Caspian del buzón de voz está roto. Esta es su refrigerador.
Por favor, hable muy despacio y voy a mantener su mensaje a mi mismo con un imán!
Gracias.

[BEEP. End automated message.]

[He must also be a sucker for the blondies because Caspian doesn't protest her condition that he can go to sleep AFTER helping her.]

It is all right...

[Rubbing his eyes, bleary Caspian.]

Peter will appreciate the thought for whatever you do give him... and Lucy likes lions or fauns. She likes games too.

Does Lucy have Monopoly? And doesn't Peter have some favorite thing like a movie or a book or something?

[Shuffling because she's totally writing this all down.]

I don't want to get him like a bad gift. I don't think they do refunds here.

What is Monopoly? And refunds?

[He has to think about the Peter question, wetting his lips thoughtfully.]

He's very simple you know. He likes vanilla.

Monopoly is a board game. She should like it if she likes games.

[Skips over explaining what a refund is. She doesn't have all the time in the world to explain modern world conveniences to Caspian.]

Vanilla candy? Ice cream?

She does like games, any kind I think, even puzzles.

[Except that atrocious looking Candyland. There's a faint yawn on this end.]

Ice cream, definitely.

[He's unsure of what to say about the other things like King Arthur and the RAF.]

She sounds like Molly. That's pretty much all she does, play games.

...Ice cream? I can't buy him ice cream for Christmas, Caspian! We don't even have a Ben & Jerry's here!

Lucy is a fanciful sort.

[He nods even though she still can't see him. Er....]

What is that?

[Wait nevermind.]

Yes you can, but if you are afraid of it melting you can find him something else vanilla-flavored. You should trust me on this subject, Karolina.

Taffy?

What is taffy?

[So... so sorry Karolina.]

Oh God, not this again...

[Said oh so under her breath.]

It's candy, Caspian. Chewy candy. I think they have vanilla flavored taffy.

Oh! [A sound of understanding.]

I think he would like that very much. And it's good for the mouth.

How is it good for the mouth?

[And now it's her turn not to get what the hell he's saying.]

It cleans your teeth and prevents atrophy.

[Teeth brushing in the early Renaissance, don't ask about it.]

Aaatrophy...

[Yeeeeah, we're not gonna ask about that.]

Well, thanks, Cas! I really really really appreciate it! And I hope you like your gift too.

Oh, and you can go back to sleep now.

Yes, atrophy.

[Don't ask. Of course now he's kind of blinking. Cas? That's a new one, but it's better than Caspy.]

It's my pleasure, Karolina. I hope you like yours too, you will receive it today.
