mun is trolling about before starting the day.

[omnipotence]

The first day of spring draws near.

Indeed, I am pleased.

[Is that....

a lion?

Hmm.] So would be I-- er, the great Tashlan if only you'd get back to working, you big cat.

[omnipotence]

( you know what? let's roar really loudly and bear some fangs. that will keep aslan amused. )

[wiseman]

[Shaking in his boots-- oh, aren't you a badass?]

I shouldn't wonder if I-- if Tashlan sends the orders to have you skinned by the time the day's done! Insolent beast! At least your fur will- uh, fetch a good price in the Calormen market, yes. And us good Narnians, yes, we'll buy more good oranges and nuts with that sum.

[omnipotence]

( solemnly: )

And when the price that my fur would sell diminishes, and the oranges and the nuts that you have bought from it all eaten and gone by the hungry Beasts that need them? What then would this Tashlan do?

[deathtraps]

[What in the world -- a talking lion. He's seen it all.]

So am I, but I'm not sure it's for the same reasons as you.

[omnipotence]

( aslan's just chillin' over here - nothing new there. )

What reason would that be?

[deathtraps]

Spring means I can hunt. More efficiently than in the winter.

[omnipotence]

( he's a predator, gale, geez. )

Then perhaps we have at least one reason in common, dear one.

[gentlism]

Indeed. The most beautiful of days are coming again.

[omnipotence]

Susan.

( Aslan smiles. He's pleased you're here, Susan. )

Spring is a reminder.

Everything you see has an end, and every end has a beginning, and every beginning is as beautiful as the first rose blossom that blooms once the light touches it.

[gentlism]

Mm, yes. Not to mention the festivals that we are to celebrate, soon. I'm sure we all will enjoy them.

[madcuriosity]

Isn't it wonderful! I love the spring!

[omnipotence]

So do I.

What is it about spring that you like?

[madcuriosity]

All the flowers! They're simply lovely! Ah, and all the little baby animals.

Damn it HTML

[knightofthesky]

[Wow, never seen a big cat like this before. Actually, Link's actually never seen any kind of cat, really. Do remlits count? This one... gives off a good vibe, so the hero approaches with a smile.]

Spring is my favorite time of the year. Everything is so full of life...

[Oh Goddesses he wants to pet that mane. Control yourself, Link. :| ]

[omnipotence]

( Aslan elicits a soft purr, and it sounds more like he's humming a song [and you can imagine, right? a wordless song, slow and melodious, floating freely in the skies], if anything. )

All seasons bring life to all things. Spring is simply vivid in its colors.

[ Edmund had just opened his mouth to respond when a terrific sneeze rips the breath right out of him. He wipes his nose on his sleeve, looks at the mess, grimaces, then wipes his soiled sleeve on the grass.

Dryly: ] Spring, lovely and pollen-filled as per usual.

[omnipotence]

( and the Great Lion laughs - like a roaring thunder that rolls over green hills and wild meadows. an anomaly, but no less beautiful sounding that the chirping birds. )

You must breathe the fresh air, dear one, and slowly. Savor it. Rarely will you be able to smell the very first burst of the spring breeze.

[amend]

[ It's impossible to suppress the grin that emerges in response to Aslan's laughter (like Spring embodied, somehow), so Edmund doesn't try.

He does, however, try to take Aslan's advice. He makes it halfway into pulling in a lungful of air before he erupts into another violent sneeze. ]

Well. [ His grin is watery but no less amused for it. ] —what little of it I can smell is wonderful, Aslan.

[omnipotence]

( LMFAO oh you.

Aslan's going to just nudge Ed with his great, big, furry head. Affection at its finest from a wild lion. )

[iateasock]

[The shadows near Aslan's feet begin to move, first towards him, and then away, slowly forming into the small being pictured]

...You shine like the Veiled Ones' swords. So bright there aren't many shadows at ALL. How do you do that?

[omnipotence]

( aslan sits down and watches with mild fascination, his tail wagging behind him slowly. )

When one walks into the light, shadows cease to exist.

[iateasock]

But EVERYTHING has shadows...even on their hearts, though yours...doesn't. It's very bright.

[Shadowchild circles, not coming very close]

[omnipotence]

And why would you search for my shadow, dear one?

[iateasock]

Oh don't worry, I wouldn't eat it, I don't eat the shadows of things that talk, she said it's bad.

[kungfu]

[she talks to demons on the regular so a talking lion? nbd!!]

It's felt like spring for a while though, hasn't it? It gets cold sometimes, but- ah since you've got that coat of fur, maybe you don't notice so much?

[omnipotence]

Indeed.

( is the lion laughing? maybe... )

Do you not have a coat of your own?

[kungfu]

A whole bunch back home. None like yours, though.

[ineuphony]

Spring's one of my favorite seasons.

[omnipotence]

Why would it be?

... 8)

[ineuphony]

The weather is usually beautiful, y'know? And it's not too hot or too cold, either.

[hopeforspira]

I'm very much looking forward to it. Last spring seems so long ago.
