I thought it was the right thing to do.

[fineries]

Oh, certainly, Your Majesty. I wasn't at all questioning your, erm, activities.

[ex_valiancy57]

[She doesn't like your tone at all, but manages to be as polite as possible.]

It turned out rather badly, I realize.

[fineries]

But rest assured, of course, that Terebinthia will not be holding your actions against you.

[ seeing that queen lucy is still a child and all. ]

[ex_valiancy57]

That's kind of you.

Have your rooms been set up to your satisfaction?

[fineries]

Oh, yes. It was much better than I thought it would be.

[ex_valiancy57]

We did hope that nothing was amiss. But if you need something, please do ask.

[fineries]

I will, thank you. And rest assured that this little matter will be our little secret.

[ ...fat chance of that, though ]

[ex_valiancy57]

[You get a slightly sheepish laugh.] Knowing the way news tend to go around this castle, it might not be so secret after all. But thank you, nonetheless.

[just]

( It's not often that Edmund is struck speechless, but this is definitely one of those times. ) ...what?

[ex_valiancy57]

[Sob Lucy and her overdeveloped sense of justice.] I couldn't let Adela Pennyfeather say all those awful things!

[just]

For God's sake, Lu. Sorting Peter out is difficult enough —

[ex_valiancy57]

I am sorry. And it won't happen again.

[Though there's a tiny bit of fierceness that rather implies she's not very sorry at all.]

goddamn it, half of my previous comment was cut off. sorry about that!

[just]

Try to be a smidge more subtle about it the next time around, alright? ( He says this VERY CASUALLY, as if this is perfectly normal advice to give. )

no worries <3

[ex_valiancy57]

Oh, I will. [It's so cheerful that one could almost think that she were making a joke of it.]

[unwilling_king]

You were not alone in thinking that, your majesty.

[ex_valiancy57]

[She sighs, looking uncharacteristically drained.] But it turned out so very badly.

[unwilling_king]

Narnia will recover. You can be sure of that.

[ex_valiancy57]

I do hope so.

[Because it would be awful if she ruined things permanently with the Lone Islanders.]

[unwilling_king]

From what I have seen, there is little to recover from. Nothing but a misunderstanding.

[ex_valiancy57]

[Nodding.] I hope they see it that way as well. I'll write them a letter of apology.

[unwilling_king]

If I thought you needed it, I'd offer you my help.

[ex_valiancy57]

Would you mind looking it over, Peridan, once I'm finished?

[unwilling_king]

I'd be honoured.

[ex_valiancy57]

Lovely! Thank you.

[unwilling_king]

You are most welcome.
