On the creation and near opening of beyondthewardrobe

[heir_of_aslan]

My dearest mundane,

I know you are as nervous to be donning the title of Moderator as I am to be accepting this crown. But we, both of us, have advisors and friends to whom we may look for guidance.

Have faith in yourself and your friends, and they will carry you far. Though I am uncertain of Aslan's plan for us, I believe, now, that he knows what he is doing.

Whatever the case may be, we will face these new challenges with courage and hope.

Just promise me one thing, mundane. If you could. Do not keep me locked away within the castle. I do not think I could bare to be the sort of king who rules from behind the walls of a fortress.

The people - My people - deserve better than that.

[Of course he wouldn't.]

Sometimes I find you quite cryptic, Reynard. But I am glad for your company all the same.

[It's a reassurance he needs right now. This is all a bit much at once, and still so many things to be done.]

Not cryptic, just too in love with words, perhaps. What I'm saying is that it might not always be safe for you to go out, because there are those that mean you harm. And what I am further saying is that when you go out, you might not always hear and see what others would, because you are the King and it changes how people treat you.

[He gives his shoulder a squeeze, reassuring and smiling at him.]

But Aslan has chosen wisely, I've no doubt. You'll do well, your Majesty.
