[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.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't add to the requirements of being a kid, having missed out on many of them.]

A common enemy?

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Lumi is...the Snow Queen.

[He pauses and reaches into the bag. There was a book, a book of Fairy Tales that he had given to Sarah, and he had planned on giving to Rosella.]

In Kay's Homeworld. She kidnapped him, and kept him prisoner for many, many years.

And then she joined the Adversary. So I suppose, that common enemy would describe her.

[He shows Caspian]

[But not Jadis? Although it would be easy to mistaken one for the other. What is it with vile women and winter.]

I see. But the snow isn't bad all the time.

[Blame Jack. That's Blue's solution]

No, it isn't. And it can be pretty. Like tonight.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That certainly is true.

[He smiles as Destrier jingle jangles to the lake. He is unaware of the possibly hibernating blue creature that resides under it.]

Here we are.

[Blue smiles a little and pulls out his warhorn, giving it one long note. Ellington emerges slowly, just one tentacle....that's longer than Blue's entire body.]

Thank you very much, Caspian.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

...........

[WHAT. IS. THAT. But, if you summoned it well... you probably know what you're doing.]

You're welcome, Blue.

[And then, after a quiet moment.]

I'm sorry about what I said.

[Blue takes the tip of Ellington's tentacle in his hand and is greeting the Star Baby when he pauses and looks over]

....that means a lot.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[IT'S. TOUCHING. YOU.]

Isn't it cold? In the water?

[And to the other thing, he only nods.]

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Ellington raises another tentacle....to wave. Wave!]

Oh, it is. I'll be all right.

Would you like to meet Ellington?

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Oh.... Caspian waves. This is a little different from meeting centaurs and gryphons. But...]

... If he would like to meet me.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Blue whistles, and the top of Ellington's head comes out of the water. He extends a blue tentacle over to Caspian]

Oh, just shake. He learned to shake from Tosh.

Ellington, this is Caspian.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Caspian swallows and reaches out to take that tentacle, gentle but confident, or trying to be. He is a king after all.]

How do you do, Ellington.

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Ellington lets out the first few bars of Blue Skies, and it's deep and rumbly]

That means he's well.

[Blue's actually smiling now, honestly.]

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't know that song, but surely it must be in the songbook.]

That is good to know. I'm very glad to hear it, Ellington.

[Caspian nods, releasing the tentacle like a gracious monarch.]

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Blue nods]

Thank you again, Caspian. For the ride.

[He'll call Cori to pick him up before he gets hypothermic, honest]

SAD BOY IN SNOW

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure, Blue. Farewell then, to you and to Ellington.

[A nod to the strange creature.]

And enjoy the rest of your holiday.
