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.

I'm sure your mun will do great!

[heir_of_aslan]

My thanks, and the thanks of my mun as well, for your words of reassurance. It is nice to hear such votes of confidence

[smugfox]

It would be a shame, truly, to have you locked away anywhere, my pr... my king.

[He'll lower his head with a smile.]

Do forgive, it's still so new. Your Majesty.

My point was, I believe, that if you remained behind your castle walls, you'd miss a lot of what is happening, even more than you already do, due to being noble as you are.

[practicality]

Nervous, are you?

[ineuphony]

Well, I'm sure you have help, right?

[heir_of_aslan]

Reynard. It is good to have your wisdom at hand.

[There is a bit of an eyebrow raise there, because that almost sounded like an insult there, fox. But it's so hard to tell with him.]

I have no intentions of sitting idly by when their is trouble in Narnia. It is a King's job to keep the peace, not ignore the world outside the castle walls as though it did not exist.

[Still. Easier said than done, sometimes.]

[heir_of_aslan]

Did I say nervous?

I merely meant - cautious.

[heir_of_aslan]

On both sides, yes. Still. To be honest, it can be a bit intimidating. I am not certain I am quite ready to be king.

[smugfox]

It usually is, I'd not know what to do without it.

[Insult? What insult? He'd not even dream of it.]

I had no doubt that you'd see things such. But you do have to be careful where you thread, there are obstacles ahead and the most dangerous won't be out in the open, but hidden till it's too late.

[He puts a hand on Caspian's shoulder.]

And not all paths are known for you to walk on and if you were to, you'd meet different people there than a lesser creature.

[ineuphony]

Being King does sound really terrifying, but I'm willingly to bet you'll be a fine one. After all, you were chosen for a reason.

[practicality]

Well, there's nothing wrong with being cautious, I think. Just don't go overboard with it.

[heir_of_aslan]

When action is required I will be prepared to take it.

Forgive me, Queen Susan. [He bows his head, though there is a smile there]

I did not think I would be seeing you again.

[heir_of_aslan]

[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.]

[heir_of_aslan]

My thanks, kind Lady.

I am Pr- I am Caspian, King of Narnia, and it is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[practicality]

I'm sorry to dash your hopes, then. [ she's kidding, though! ]

[ineuphony]

My name's Maka Albarn and it's nice to meet you, too.

[heir_of_aslan]

[His smile brightens when he lifts his head.]

I am glad that information proved to be false. How are you? Your brothers and sister, as well.

[heir_of_aslan]

Lady Maka, you have kind words. You have lifted my spirits, and for that I am very thankful.

[practicality]

They're well, thank you. And around this place, somewhere. I should warn you though that they have a tendency to jump on unsuspecting friends when they least expect it.

[ineuphony]

I didn't do so much. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

[smugfox]

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.

[heir_of_aslan]

Currently, such a greeting would actually be welcome, I think.

Besides, one can never know when the old Kings and Queens of Narnia are likely to drop in.

whoa a narnia rp? 8D

[ex_valiancy57]

Don't worry, Caspian, I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.

A Narnia RP? Color me intrigued.

[cowardly_guardian]

[Courage may not know what you mean by most of that, but he knows nervousness when he hears it. Whimper]

A multifandom Narnian RP that would love a Lucy, or anyone else at all :D

[heir_of_aslan]

You are as kind as ever, Queen Lucy.
