[Caspian's been wandering the hall for a while, still not quite sure how exactly he arrived here, and feeling rather worried about Narnia in his absence. But surely he wouldn't be here without Aslan's blessing? In any case, there are adventures to be had, and he intends to the make the best of them.

His eyes light up when he spots the young woman coming his way.]

Queen Susan!

[marksqueen]

[oh no. Susan freezes, recognizing that face from anywhere. She bites her lip, wishing her heart didn't start beating so rapidly. She just said goodbye to him with the resolve that they would never meet again, and here he was.

She can't help smiling, despite how awkward she suddenly feels]

Caspian! I... it's a nice surprise to see you here.

[ready_to_bloom]

[For his part, he's extremely pleased to see her again. Especially after having just said goodbye, for what he was told was forever.

And every time he sees it, her smile is prettier than the last.]

It's rather a surprise to be here at all, isn't it? But I'm glad to see you.

[marksqueen]

I... I'm glad to see you, too.

[did she already say that? She probably did. She can't help thinking of those last words: I wish we had more time. And her parting kiss, without giving him a time to respond. Now they have time and she's unsure of herself.

True she's had boys and later men vie for her attention, but none of them really interested her. And now the first one who actually did is here. She doesn't know how to handle this]

Is everything all right in Narnia?

[ready_to_bloom]

It was when I left. So hopefully it still is.

[He frowns at that - he hates the idea of leaving Narnia without its king. Still, if he's here, he assumes Aslan must know.]

Have you been well, Susan?

[marksqueen]

Between Reepicheep and Trumpkin, the kingdom is in good hands in your absence.

[she smiles at him, beginning to take a stroll. She's sure he'll follow] I can't say. I haven't even gotten back to England yet. One minute I was leaving Narnia and the next I was here.

[ready_to_bloom]

[He does, of course, follow, walking through the crowd with her.]

So barely a moment has passed since we've last seen each other then. [Curious, that. He gestures around as they walk.] What do you make of all this?

[marksqueen]

It feels wrong... My siblings and I were magicked to Narnia, but this is something else. It's more forceful and dangerous. I fear a fight might be coming soon.

[ready_to_bloom]

From what was said to me, that is what it sounds like. We will probably have to fight. Again. And yes, it's not the same kind of magic as in Narnia.

[marksqueen]

[she bites her lip. The more they speak of this, the less she likes it]

All the more reason for us to be careful until we learn what's really going on.

[ready_to_bloom]

[He hates seeing her look so troubled.]

Yes, we must be cautious. And have a care for each other. I will do my best to make sure you're safe, Susan, and I trust you will do the same.

[marksqueen]

[a blush comes to her cheeks. Every girl dreams of a prince vowing to protect her]

As soon as I find a bow, then yes. I will do my best to keep you safe, Caspian.

[ready_to_bloom]

It's too bad you weren't sent here with your bow.

[He touches his sword, in its familiar place on his side.]

Well, never fear. I know you'll do what you can. And we'll find you a bow soon enough, I suspect, what with this talk of battle.

[marksqueen]

I didn't have it with me as we were leaving Narnia. Anyway, I can shoot just as well with a regular bow.

So sorry for such a late reply! My life exploded with crazy

[ready_to_bloom]

I don't doubt that you can. [He's seen her shoot; he knows how good she is.]

Are your siblings here with you?

it's all good

[marksqueen]

Yes, we're all together. It would be strange coming to a new world without them.

[ready_to_bloom]

I can only imagine.

[He's glancing around as they walk; there are certainly some different sights to see here in this place.]

Is this world anything like your own?

[marksqueen]

No, I'm afraid this is nothing like my world. We have stories about fairies, but they aren't real.
