just rewatched lww, nostalgia strikes.

Gastrovascular? What are you, daft? How in God's name am I supposed to know what that means? I didn't know when I was a child, and I've since had more important things to do than to find my soul in the pages of a dictionary. If that was even a dictionary; I've half a mind to believe Susan was actually pulling the word out of her — well. Out of nowhere.

[ pause. ]

All right, all right, my apologies, I don't mean to be — rude — but you know how much dealing with the fatal infliction of being a know-it-all grates at me.

[ some hidden insecurities there, Ed? ]

Silence, commoner. [ there may or may not be a hint of a grin on his face. ]

[And the little blonde girl who looks suspiciously like your sister looks up curious but in silence]

[ A resemblance worthy of a double-take. ]

'lo there, kid. Have you lost your minder?

[gerionsdaughter]

[She ponders for a moment if she should answer or not, but in the end she does, but not before curtsying]
No, your Majesty. She's around helping me find my papa.

[practicality]

You were saying something there, Edmund?

[thirtycoins]

You have the most infuriating ability to walk in precisely when I wish you wouldn't.

[practicality]

You really ought to look up the word 'Gastrovascular' to know why. You have time to complain. I'll assume you'll have time to read as well.

[calledmegentle]

Now, then, who are you calling a know-it-all, Ed? [She's thoroughly offended. Truly. Except not at all.]

[thirtycoins]

The lady mundane. [ A quirk of his eyebrow. ] Nothing at all to do with you, really.

[calledmegentle]

Oh, really, now? Just the lady mundane? [Now, why does she not entirely believe you.]

What in the world is "gastrovascular?" [There's many things Caspian does know, but that's a new one for him.]

[thirtycoins]

Remnants of a rather dull childhood here in Spare Oom, my friend. [ a mischievous grin. ] Susan-induced, if you must know.

[ready_to_bloom]

So, a type of game then?
