[treadingdawn]

Well, I am glowing.

...

Has anyone here participated in a joust?

Comments

I have no objections, but we'll have to locate all the necessary equipment first.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Proper armor and able horses first. I am sure it would not be too difficult to find someone who can fashion lances from the wood here.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

I believe lances will be the easiest to find.

Is anyone else interested in participating?

ooc: back in a few hours! Movie times.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, a couple, though not without proper demonstration.

ooc: Alrighty!

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we can demonstrate it well enough.

ooc: hurr, movie was a lie.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. But speaking of demonstrations.

[Ushering Peter somewhere to some secluded corner of the house. Very hard to be sneaky when you glow.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[What what? Being ushered along. You look like the human incandescent light bulb, Caspian.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[At least he doesn't look like Dr. Manhattan.]

I promised Lucy I would ask you. She wants to learn how to tilt.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Peter crosses his arms.]

I don't think that's a good idea.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you would agree, but I said I would try to convince you.

I am trying to steer her interest into tent pegging.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

She's already tried tent pegging. That won't divert her interests.

[Think think think.]

Jousting is still too dangerous, especially now.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I don't know why she would be so interested in tilting.

Beyond being told girls are incapable of it.

[Not that he's accusing Peter of course.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Lucy was never an ordinary Queen. She'd always try new things, and she was as good as any man.

[Can't Peter be a little overprotective?]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Gotta ask Susan and Edmund that question too, gosh.]

I don't believe she could level a lance now unless it were fit to her stature and against another of the same class.

[Not that Caspian was seriously considering valid ways to get Lucy involved.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

I could change my decision in the future, but for now, I can't allow it.

It's not worth the risks for a just a sport.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you would. I cannot say I didn't try.

[Lucy might tell him try harder but Peter is the older brother after all.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Huff. If they jousted with those padded Gladiator sticks he might think about it.]

I'll talk to her later about it if she's still set on it.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[But only for Lucy. Oak lances and armor for Caspian please.]

She will be if you and I have a match.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not exclude Lucy like that. It would be best if we called our match off then.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Ohhhh the glowing fades a bit.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Someone needs to have their light bulb replaced.]

It's not just about us. It would be beastly of us to make her sit on the sidelines.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Maybe he needs a halogen bulb. Caspian's first impulse is to say she doesn't have to know, but for shame of him to suggest secrecy!]

All right.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Pat on the shoulder. Cheer up, emo kid.]

I'm sure we'll find something else. We could have a tent pegging competition.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He... he really wanted some martial competition and bruises like trophies. But Caspian's still glowy.]

If you can interest her in it.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[They could all take karate lessons.]

She shouldn't object if we all participate.

[He hopes, at least.]
