Voicetesting, possible game and canon-mate hunting

[ready_to_bloom]

Well, it would be nice to see my friends again, if that could be managed. Or to go a place where I can make new friends! Or have new adventures.

Yes. New adventures. Those would be very welcome. Some place interesting and exciting, if that can be managed.

[practicality]

And what sort of adventures are you looking for, if you don't mind my asking?

[ready_to_bloom]

Thrilling ones, I think. Full of adventures and unknown curiosities and good company. *pauses* And ones that have happy endings.

[renunciation]

You have a kingdom to rule, Caspian.

[ready_to_bloom]

Yes. *he sighs, and it's a sigh that's both resigned and defiant* But even kings may have adventures, I believe.

sorry, finals are eating me

[renunciation]

[ The reproof in her tone is mild, not meant to bite. ] Only when they have discharged all their duties as king.

Bah, finals! Soon you will be freeeeeeeee!

[ready_to_bloom]

[Just wry, but not bitter - he knows what his future really holds, which is why he sometimes allows himself to dream.] So no adventures until I am dead, then?

[And now he turns thoughtful] Although.... I've heard it said that death is the ultimate adventure...

/soon/

[renunciation]

There are ways to have adventures while you are still alive and maintain your responsibilities.

[ They had certainly found ways. ] I suppose that is a way of looking at it.

[ready_to_bloom]

Of course, you're right. [And he knows this, and he would never shirk his responsibilities, but, oh, his heart longs for his friends, and for the chance, small though it is, to see them again.]

There are many adventures to be had, right outside my door.

[renunciation]

Narnia has always been a fascinating place. Something new is always coming.

[ A brief pause. ] It is good to see you again.

/super late

Is ruling Narnia not interesting enough for you, Caspian?

No worries!

[ready_to_bloom]

Oh it is VERY interesting! Why, just the other day, we had a rogue Giant from the north attempt to sneak across the Narnian border - and as you know, Giants are not very clever, and therefore don't really understand the concept of "sneaking" - and of course, we had to get some of the army out there to capture him, and then there was the interrogation, and if that wasn't interesting, I don't know what is.

I just wish... well. You all got to visit another world. Why can't I visit yours? Or any other? That would be a true adventure for a king!

:D

[calledmegentle]

[She listens as he recounts the story, remembering with a faint smile her own brother's issues with the Giants, before her expression grows a little sorrowful at his thought of what a true adventure would be.]

Perhaps, but you must keep in mind that it's the sort of adventure you may not come back from.

[They hadn't been able to get back to Narnia, after all.]

Re: :D

[ready_to_bloom]

[Despite his longings, he feels very responsible for the Narnians who look to him as their King, and his loyalty to those who put him on the throne is strong.] Well, I would like an adventure that I could return from...

Still, I would not say no, if any such chance came my way. Every day in Narnia is an adventure of that kind, as you know.

[And he's very aware that life can change suddenly, and thwart all the best plans and intentions. He just wonders if there isn't something more waiting for him.]

[calledmegentle]

That's quite true.

[She remembers the dangers of so many of their own adventures when they were in Narnia, after all.]

I suppose so long as you make sure your people are always cared for in your absence, all would be well.

[ready_to_bloom]

I would do my best. What about you, Susan? Have you had your fill of adventures?

[calledmegentle]

[A small smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

Oh, yes, I've had my fun, but I believe I've had more than enough for a lifetime.

[Probably because she'd practically lived two.]

I was always one to be more content with staying at home, though, so I suppose it was to be expected.

[ready_to_bloom]

[He nods, considering her words.]

Yes, you certainly have had much excitement in yours. Although I suppose that's the way of adventures. You never know when the next one might come.

[calledmegentle]

Exactly. Which is why I suppose you needn't be too worried about finding your own next adventure.

[More likely than not, it'll find him.]
