I am almost sorry to see them take their leave. They were quite the challenge, but also quite the mess. Twenty-three is still a good number.

Eden, I will be by shortly.

Zach, I am glad you enjoyed the drinks. My glass?

[ He listens politely to said rambling, because frankly, if you've been around Mohinder, anyone else's so-called rambling isn't even comparable. That's not a bad thing, really, or a good thing, but Zach smiles a bit, slightly upturned corners of his mouth apparent. ]

Well there's always English, Science, Math, and uh, for some weird reason, P.E.

[ It's a leading statement, but that's okay it seems, in this conversation. ]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He just stares at Zach.]

"P.E."?

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ And he gets a grin in return. Full grin. ]

Physical education, you know, running around in circles, dodgeball, kickball, sit ups, push ups, more running around...that stuff.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's still staring at Zach, blank. The dodgeball and things he doesn't quite know... But he's not going to let Zach completely roll him over, figuratively speaking.]

Horsemanship, swordsmanship, archery, and the joust?

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

I think that'd be your universe's version of it, but yeah, basically.

[A pause and a curious look. ]

Have you ever played a sport from uh, our world? That you know of, anyway.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Football with Peter. It shares a similarity with a Telmarine court sport.

[Caspian laughs.]

Are you any good at this P.E.?

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ Now Zach laughs, he's doing a lot of that it seems but you know, good company. ]

I suck at it.

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You... suck at it?

[It takes Caspian a moment to understand that the phrase is similar to Eden saying "P.E. is the piss."]

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

I mean I like some of them, dodgeball's pretty awesome, but uh, I'm not really good at it? It's still fun though, with the right people.

[ That's true of most things though, whether he's good at them or not, and he shrugs a little, resting his chin on his hand again, just for a change of posture. ]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head at Zach a moment then nods.]

It's fun to play with peers. I did not have many as a boy, and usually when I did I was never quite sure if I could win because of skill or if it was that they'd let me win.

[Being the prince and all.]

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

Man, letting people win is lame. It's not fun then. If we ever play, I promise not to go easy on you, er...not that you'll probably be able to tell.

[ Sort of a semi-amused, dry look, he's not down on his own lack of sport skill but still, it's the truth! ]

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Staring at Zach again, then Caspian laughs because he's right, that is lame.]

I would appreciate that very much, Zach, and I promise the same to you.

[So far Caspian is the first person outside of his own world that he's spent time with. Zach makes a brief mental note to do this more, with anyone friendly he's spoken to, but also more definitely with Caspian himself, a repeat. Of course, Zach is kind of openly attachable to people he admires, and it's hard to shake him, that is, if one ever wanted to. Is that a bad thing? Maybe in some ways. It's probably bad to get attached, at least to some people, but hey, why waste time by pretending you don't care, when you do? That's pretty much lying. ]

Er, when was, or is your birthday anyway?

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Caspian's spent a lot of his time with those of his world and those not. He enjoys forging friendships. But it's troubling sometimes to think that he too will have to say goodbye and return to Narnia, one day. He doesn't like thinking about when that might be, he knows he has a duty to fulfill at home.]

Pardon? My birthday?

[He looks at Zach curiously, like this question came from the Eastern Sea.]

When is yours?

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ The look of yeah-that's-not-the-answer-I-wanted, and stuff. ]

I asked first, so you have to answer first!

[ No, he never claimed he was at all mature, but this pretty much cinches it....off to the races. At least it's not a 'am too' 'are not' thing....]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Okay Caspian laughs at the look on Zach's face.]

It is November 22.

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ The slight pout disappears with a nod of approval, okay that's better!]

August 15, er, so it's a was I guess, well it still is but, you know what I mean.

[ Rubbing the back of his head thoughtfully, he pulls a thoughtful face now.]

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Have another open stare Zach.]

Did you do anything for it?

[Caspian had almost said "And you didn't tell me?" but he considers maybe he wasn't notified.]

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ Open stare accepted and returned, Caspian.]

Uh, well, have you heard about a guy named Sylar? Probably, maybe from Claire? Or...Mohinder.

[ And he looks away now, hands folded in front of him to keep from anything stupid like fist clenching, which with him just looks silly anyway.]

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[And his brow furrows at the mere mention of the name but Caspian does his best to hide his concern.]

Yes...

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

Well uh, I think everyone's been kind of busy and...he showed up that day, so. I figured we had more important things to worry about, bigger fish to fry or whatever.

[ Glancing over, he feels it's a little better to look at people when you can, but it's a loose look this time to avoid being too intense or, well, take himself too seriously. ]

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He watches Zach, catching the tell-tale signs of tension and someone who wants to curl his fingers tightly. It's not hard for Caspian to get the idea, however rather than dwell on it, he simply offers:]

I will have to treat you to another bout of drinking to celebrate belatedly. And responsibly, of course.

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ A half smile is earned. He almost forgot his own birthday, in truth, that day. ]

That sounds good. Uh, not that you have any reason to but, don't mention that to Claire, my birthday I mean.

[ He doesn't want her to feel bad and it's not that important to him, really. It's just kind of nice to have been born at all, for him. ]

action hells yes \o/

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He mirrors Zach's smile, perhaps a little more fully.]

As you wish, Zach. I won't.

Do not tell the Pevensies of mine? I do not think I could handle what they arranged for Peter.

action hells yes \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

[ A nod as he sits up a bit more, stretching a bit before leaning forward, elbows on his knees again. ]

It's a promise. Just between us.

[ Translation: Zach's not old enough to buy you drinks Caspian, but uh, he'll get you something! Exactly what, well he's mulling it over already. ]
