No. I am just as excited as you are that Lucy may be coming. I might be a tad bit less excited than you that Reepicheep is coming, but it will be good to have him on our side. Aslan knows, we will need as many people on our side as we can get.

I know you are very excited for this 'Doctor' Character as well, though I am not sure I understand who he is. A man who changes his face? No? Well, I will leave understanding that to you, My Lady Mundane.

It is good to see your confidence has returned. I am certain this game, as you call it, is going to go well. I know it seems to be starting out small, but you yourself said that many people were very interested in coming to Narnia. And this 'Panfandom' thing; it means that people will be coming from other places as well, yes?

Well, they will all be welcome in Narnia.

I know we have some problems to work out, it is going to take me time to become accustomed to this new title, but with such good friends on both our sides, I have faith we will both succeed.

Don't worry, kid, it'll go great. You've got me and Reynard to help after all.

[ Because the two of them are all about the helping, obviously. ]

[Obviously. Aslan help him, one of you two will be the death of him someday.]

Your help is welcome. [Certain aspects slightly less than some]

Even if the pair of you seem to speak in riddles at times.

You will need more help than that, if you think you will last long as king, little boy. You are not fit to be ruler of Narnia.

[Don't mind white wolves, do you, Caspian?

Better not, because she wants to hear more about this place. A god-like talking lion is right up her alley, after all.]

[He does not at all, and he will give a curious, but friendly smile.]

Hello, my friend.

I am not frightened of you, Wolf. My friends may not be many in number, yet, but they are great in spirit.

Spirit. [Ysegrim gives a bark of a laugh, gravelly and deep.]

Spirit does not win a war, boy. And it will not keep your neck safe in the dark of the night.

[Aw, yay. He doesn't have anything against wolves, that's good.

She trots over to him, mouth parted as a red tongue lolls out and black lips form into a lupine smile. Her tail wags back and forth, but not too quickly. She's not over-eager, after all. But, unlike Aslan, she cannot speak as mortals do, so if they are to communicate, it will be with her brush.

Hey how you doin', Prince, look at those ears. They're just sitting there, temptation for a few good scratches. She won't bite.]

[ Most likely Reynard. Robin is the nice one. Well, nicer. ]

Comes with the whole trickster deal, I'm afraid. We're supposed to be all crytic and confusing so that we can have our way with people.

[ Innuendo entirely intentional. ]

[So he might not always be the clearest where his loyalties are concerned, but if it's The Wolf against His King, then The Fox will definitely stand between.]

Narnia has never been happy unless a Son of Adam or Daughter of Eve sat on the throne.

And you're not up for the battle yet, puppy. So step back.

[How can he resist? He'll scratch just behind those soft fluffy ears.]

You do not seem like one of the savage beasts, and yet you are not talking, either. Perhaps you are a tame wolf? You seem friendly enough.

[He feels a bit silly to be speaking with a Wolf, but then, he has learned never to take anything as it appears.]

[What's that about innuendo? Sorry, Caspian was tuning it out again]

Cryptic would be a good word for it, yes. Sometimes I think you are just as likely to lead me down the path to disaster as you are to help me, but I suppose that is part of being a Trickster as well.

[ Good strategy. ]

Afraid so. But I quite like Aslan, and if he wants you on the throne I'll do my best to keep you there.

[He laughs, clicking his teeth together in a warning snap and starting a wide arc around the pair of them.]

I am looking forward to the day I silence your yips for good, Fox.

Narnia has been just as unhappy as it ever was happy, and for far longer, with their kind on the throne.

[Awww yeah. If Aslan doesn't want any pettings, she will gladly take all of them.

At the mention of her not talking, she shuts her maw and turns sadly to circle in front of him. Letters form words on the floor between them, as though an invisible brush is writing her thoughts.

I AM THE SUN GOD, AMATERASU. I AM GLAD YOU THINK ME FRIENDLY, YOUNG KING.]

You are the king?

[He regards the letters with surprise, though less than he may have before the war between Telmarines and Narnians.]

I am honored you would speak with me, fair God. Your wolf form is quite lovely. I hope you did not mind that I touched you.

[From what he knew of Gods, they could be quite fickle at times, with their subjects. He could still remember how the River God crushed the Telamrine bridge with such easy and tosses soldiers like rag dolls. But a Sun God! What an honor.]

[He is becoming accustomed to this kind of greeting from people who did not know him before.]

I am. King Caspian X, at your service, young lady.

That is something of a relief to hear. I have a feeling I am going to need all the allies I can get in the coming times. There are still many who are quite unhappy with me on the throne.

Barely younger than you.

[Caspian keeps his sword at the ready, drawn and held steady.]

I am not my ancestors. I want only peace for Narnia and the Old Narnians. Not fear. Your people are free while I am on the throne, and I intend to make sure it stays that way, long after I am gone, as well.

[Sounds like the River God needs some time with mother sun to chill out. She's a pretty good listener, no puns intended.

She paws the ground, the letters disappearing only to be replaced.

I WOULD NOT HAVE COME UP TO YOU AS I DID IF I MINDED. YOU ARE TOO KIND, YOUNG KING.

MY MUNDANE IS VERY INTERESTED IN THIS "NARNIA" YOU SPEAK OF YOU. PERHAPS YOU WILL TELL US MORE?]

[He walks with him, to stay between Caspian and the wolf at all times.]

Look all you want, but what should the cub do that Maugrim couldn't? And a Maugrim you're not.

He doesn't want peace, my King, he wants cold and ice and snow and slavery for all but him. You'd do well to do as King Peter and become the wolf slayer.

Though I won't let him get close enough to you.

The Kings and Queens of Old, who ruled over the Golden Age of Narnia, as young and younger than I, when they took the throne. Queen Lucy, the Valiant, was as young as you, yourself are, and she was one of the greatest Queens Narnia has ever known.

The Narnians must have poor judgment. Or is it that their Kings and Queens die too quickly to grow old?
