treadingdawn: (a fancy look)
[personal profile] treadingdawn
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?

Daydreaming?

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

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.

I think so as well but it is best to keep an anchor to the real world in mind.

I'm sorry to hear that, do you need any help?

Fully agreed. We'll lose ourselves in daydreams if we never come down from them.

It will all even out, eventually. I should count myself lucky that I'm just stressed. I don't have a culture to rediscover.

What do you mean by that, Mohinder? I have spoken to Tybalt who has alluded to the possibility of Telmarines in Verona Beach.

Is that so, Caspian. Tybalt told you this.

Oh yes, he did. And I do know that my forefathers came from the Pevensies' world. It hasn't been proven, but it is a possibility.

The Pevensies? They came from a different world than yours, much like the situation here?

They came from earth and from earth they went to Narnia. Tybalt is also from earth and his people are proud of their seaside heritage.

Then you're suggesting that perhaps your people are the result of directed exospermia from earth to 'Narnia'?

Directed...exospermia.

It's the conscious movement of life, in this case humans, from one biological system to another previously isolated one.

It's just a little biology Caspian D:

...yes, um.

Sorry about that. I'm finding my enthusiasm unbridled today, if you want to call it that.

Caspian failed that course sry.

Oh... you are affected as well. I did know you were invested in the subject, just not so enthusiastically.

Unfortunately. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. Actually, I did, but I wouldn't have if I had a properly working social filter right now.

I do not think I am 'on the spot' moreso than I simply do not comprehend. That isn't too unusual for me.
