I apologize, Pilot, I do not think the poetry is working for me. Otherwise, I have found a good way to keep my mind from dwelling on the events of this week.

I find myself thinking of home and turn my attention to Cair Paravel. I wish to rebuild what thirteen hundred years have torn down and restore its glory as the Seat of the Court. With the Pevensies here I could ask them to describe the castle to me. I would be delighted to hear of its marvel from the lips of those who last lived it. I would make some additions as well, I cannot ignore an entire heritage over the tyranny of a few. Perhaps a compass rose with gold inlay along the halls or birds of prey along the towers would suffice. There should be an orchard or two or five and a grand courtyard. My main quarters will face the sea and I will keep carnations at my windows.

I wonder if I should rebuild their quarters. Is it an honorable gesture or a hopeless one? Two are to return by His word so I would like to be prepared for them, and I would be a poor friend to not extend the gesture to their brother and sister. I wonder how different each room would be from the other. They are siblings, certainly, but they are all very individual. I would not allow anyone to use these rooms beyond tending to daily maintenance, I would not even visit them myself. I do not think I could. ... But that isn't befitting of a citadel at all, it's befitting of a tomb. The Kings and Queens of Old should be celebrated not mourned. I will keep that loss to myself where it belongs.

I can plan all these things and still have to question: in the future, where will I be?

You're right about celebrating them.

voice; private; greetings my haku

I think my cousin would say that I did not need to say so much to say so little.

voice; private; \o/

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

Even if you could've said it more succinctly I'm thinking what you did say wasn't little.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is important... although perhaps not a priority now.

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

What does muerto mean?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It means death, or dead, the state of being denied life, Lucy.

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Oh no.

....I could...draw you a picture, I suppose.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Of death I do not think that is necessary.

[equalmarked.livejournal.com]

Got a lot to say there, Caspian.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I usually do not choose to say so much but I do encourage speaking one's mind.

This comment does not exist but Jadis's super-secret henchman is watching you, Caspian

sneaky like a sneaking thing that sneaks

Good Caspian, thy words are like a seaborne gale. Loose, ritious and quite possibly brought on by over indulgence in the bottle. Your cousin would hope that such things would not be true outside of his company.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You are certainly correct, Tybalt. Lord Cuervo and I should not isolate ourselves under any circumstances though he has certainly tempted me.

[tangodelamuerte.livejournal.com]

See to this. Or perhaps it would be more simple to cut through the thin fabric of pleasantries to say there is no wish to join your cousin.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Carnations?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

They were a favorite of my mother's.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Oh.

We used to have an orchard at Cair Paravel. There are still quite a few apple trees leftover, if you want to keep them. While the idea of staying true to the original design is nice in thought, you shouldn't feel obligated just for our sake.

Tianzi, how are you these days? And Xing-Ke, is he well?

[ooc: ps. friends showing up as Tianzi and Xing-Ke tomorrow.]

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

... He's okay. I'm better.

[ooc; Bon. Pictures. GET THEM.]

Daydreaming?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I have been known to do such things though mostly when I was a boy. How are you, Doctor?

[orderonto]

It's alright to daydream, though. Especially when we are very far from home.

Not well, actually. What with the curse today, amongst a few other things. Such is life.
