I did. It feels like it's been ages. [ahaha. Hah. That was her attempt at joking, even if the joke completely fails since he wouldn't understand the context at all]

[unneeded]

Well...Shakespeare is more interesting to talk about anyway. [He has no idea that there's a joke, and doesn't really want to talk about...work. He's peering at the fairy food, considering carefully.] You said something about favorites. What's yours?

[marksqueen]

I enjoyed Othello and Hamlet. But really, all of his plays are brilliant. I haven't been able to see one since before the war.

[unneeded]

We related, you think? [Archie offers a faint smile.] It'd be my luck. Archie Kennedy, Midshipman of His Majesty's Frigate Indefatigable.

[marksqueen]

Susan Pevensie, of Finchley. [she curtseys like a queen] A pleasure to meet you, Midshipman Kennedy.

[unneeded]

And a pleasure to meet you, Miss Pevensie. [He bows properly, right foot out, bending at the waist, looking her in the eye. Perfect form. You'd think he had status or something.] Very likely more of a pleasure for me than for you, sorry. Any decent conversation to a sailor is like finding a dry spot to stand on the moors, sometimes.

[marksqueen]

Would you like to take a walk, then? Stretch your land legs a bit?

[unneeded]

Now I know the pleasure is all mine now. [He gives a cheeky grin and offers her his elbow.]

[marksqueen]

[she smiles, resting her hand there like a proper lady should. There's no harm in walking with him, after all. He seems nice enough, and there's certainly a lot to explore]

And of course when this account expired like a year ago it left insufficient icons

[unneeded]

[His hat is off and tucked under one arm properly, just like his grandfather used to do when escorting his grandmother.]

Miss Pevensie. Were you a frequenter of Drury Lane as well, then?

[ngl it was like Disneyland for him and his parents could never keep hold of him.]

i know this pain

[marksqueen]

Before you ask, no, I don't know the Muffin Man.

[she can humor when she tries]

[unneeded]

[It does get a grin. Good, he appreciates a fellow troll.]

The theatre, of course.

[marksqueen]

When I was much younger. Once the war started, there wasn't much time for leisure.

[unneeded]

Why? Sneak off to be a ship's boy, did you? [He's only half-teasing.]

[marksqueen]

My father was called into battle. [and the teasing fails miserably]

[unneeded]

[He manages not to ask "army or navy?" for purposes of scorekeeping.]

Bad luck, [he says with sympathy.] Things must've got busy at home.

[marksqueen]

Yes... quite busy. It was a hard time. But now we're going to school, so things are getting better.

[unneeded]

Did your father come back?

[marksqueen]

Yes, he did. We were all very happy to see him.

[unneeded]

What does he do for work now the war's over?

[marksqueen]

[the mu doesn't know so let's just handwave this question shall we] You're awfully curious about my family.

[unneeded]

[Kennedy shrugs.] Just wondering. It's hard for a military man to get by without a war, is all.

[A rather awkward way of being concerned about her, and it's clear he's a bit embarrassed, but he means well.]

[marksqueen]

I have noticed that.

[after their return to Narnia the first time, Peter couldn't seem to get a handle for normal life. He was used to being a king, and back home he was just a boy]

It seems like we're here for some purpose, so maybe we'll have to fight again after all.

[unneeded]

I knew it. You ran off to be a ship's boy, didn't you?

[Which is perfectly plausible. Archie has known a few sailors who were surprise girls.]

[marksqueen]

Why would I do that? I'm perfectly capable of being on a ship as a woman.
