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.

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

Got a lot to say there, Caspian.

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

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

Oh.

Oh no.

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

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

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

Of death I do not think that is necessary.

No. Of Cair Paravel.

Oh, I apologize.

... Could you?

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.

Priority or whatever...it's important like you said and I think it's good that you think about those things in a sense. If we don't, it's almost as if we don't care.

How are you guys anyway?

Yes, I could. Peter probably doesn't remember much.

It appears to some that these thoughts are brought about by a bottle. But I do care.

We are in one piece.

I am sure you, Edmund, and Susan can compensate, although it is disappointing to think that he wouldn't remember those days.

It's not that he'll ever forget being king.

It's I don't think Cair Paravel as a place was an important memory.

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

I would believe that. The Citadel would be made anew in any case to hail a new age.

I figured.

That's good...I was hoping for something more cheerful but that's wishful. Uhhh....you guys want some cupcakes?

I think you'll make it very handsome, Caspian!
