Voice test.......

[sublimity]

You want to give this a go, do you? Not that I doubt you [Which…isn’t quite the truth.], but you’re being a bit hasty, I think.

There are things to be done, and I really must be getting back. Not to mention you haven’t the time for this either, so you really ought to have a clear head and sort your priorities before trying anything.

Comments

[ineuphony]

There's nothing wrong with giving a little try on things.

[sublimity]

Normally I'd agree, but my mun honestly has much more important things to do than poke about here.

[He purses his lips slightly.]

She also pulled me from the middle of something important.

[ineuphony]

My mun did the same with me. -- Maybe you'll go back right after this.

[sublimity]

I'm sorry to hear that. You haven't been placed somewhere awful, have you?

[He smiles ruefully.]

Maybe. Unfortunately, my mun is working on sending me somewhere.

[ineuphony]

It's not entirely awful. -- After being there for two years, I've gotten used to it. And I've made a lot of friends! You're there and so is Edmund.

Oh? Did your mun give you an idea at least?

B)

[counterbalanced]

[Skeptical look.]

When you say "not doubting" you actually are, aren't you.

>>

[sublimity]

[Have an innocent look in return.]

That hurts, Ed, it really does. You know I always mean what I say.

[counterbalanced]

You're my brother. I know you.

[A pause, and raised eyebrows.] You think, after fifteen years, I wouldn't recognise the same look you get when you're trying to dodge some new, persistent overseas diplomat?

[sublimity]

[He looks affronted, though the corners of his mouth are twitching, like it's fighting to hide a grin.]

I did nothing of the sort. I'm not one to neglect my duties, after all.

[counterbalanced]

[He sees that not-smile, Peter.]

No, you aren't. [His tone gets dryer.] That's why you made meeting with them my duty after you were particularly harried. Don't try to deny it.

[mankindly]

Sometimes, being impulsive's a good thing.

[sublimity]

Not in this case.

[Frown]

You ought to not encourage her.

[mankindly]

You sound pretty certain of that.

At least I'm encouraging her to pick you up. You could be a good influence. After all, Aslan blessed off on you being High King, right?

[sublimity]

I think I know my mun well enough to be.

[The frown melts away into surprise. There is only way this stranger could know who he is.]

You've heard of Narnia?

[mankindly]

Well.. sorta'. I guess you could say that Aslan's family in a roundabout way. Uncle-from-another-world, maybe?

[practicality]

Getting back where, Peter?

[sublimity]

[Wait...shouldn't she know the answer to this question?]

Narnia, of course. We've a war to win, in case you've forgotten.

[practicality]

I haven't forgotten anything. It's just... in this place, there's a lot of places to go back to.

[sublimity]

[His brow furrows. Nothing is making sense and it's more than frustrating.]

How do you mean?

[practicality]

Well-- [ how does she explain this um. ] Take me, for instance. Where I'm from, we've already helped Caspian get back his crown, and have just returned from Narnia to Finchley.

[ pause. ] I guess it's not actually a question of where, but when.

[suncrowned]

What is your mun "giving a go"?

[sublimity]

Er...[How to explain this without making it awkward.] She's making an attempt to understand and write my voice.

[It doesn't really make sense to him. Honestly, he finds it quite unnerving.]

[suncrowned]

OH! My mun's done that with me before. It can be really fun sometimes. You get to meet all these wonderful people and make so many new friends.

[sublimity]

I suppose. All the same, I'd rather have a say in where I go and what I do.

[suncrowned]

Oh... yeah. [That can be hard.] But you might get sent somewhere fun. My mun sent me somewhere before, and it was hard and scary sometimes, I was so happy there. You might find happiness in the place you're going if you give it a chance.
