[ It takes a bit of shaking the thing about. Despite the tutorial, this is so different to Edmund that he can't seem to fully grasp it at once. He eventually seems to get that it's recording, though, and the shaking stops. ]

Oh - it's on. Good. I was starting to think I'd broken it.

Um, hello. While a great deal of things have certainly been explained to me, and I'm doing my best to try and catch up on it all, I did have a question I was hoping people might be able to answer for me.

Have you come across anyone with the last name "Pevensie"? I'm looking for my brother and sisters. Or even just one of them, maybe. Lucy? Are you here?

[ He's not used to world jumping without her and he's hopeful she'll get the message. He presses his lips together a little more roughly, trying not to convey too many of his nerves and keep up a mostly regal appearance. ]

Well, thank you in advance, regardless.

That and a bit about the weapons and situation and what not. It's still all sort of settling in.

Yeah, most people have the whole adjustment period thing. Denial, anger, acceptance, the whole nine yards.

Sorry about your siblings.

I don't know if it's any of those, so much as trying to wrap my head around all the supplied information. It's a bit much to take in, though -- obviously you know that already.

Thanks. It's alright, I suppose. For the best and all that.

It's a lot all at once. But people are generally good about answering questions.

Oh, please, 'it's for the best' is just what people say to be self-sacrificing.

I've noticed. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it all quickly.

[ There's a bit of a humorless chuckle at that, because he really can't help but agree. ] I think it's supposed to be the polite brush off to make sure people don't get concerned about it.

You seem pretty reasonable.

[ A snort. ] People have been home and back. The people you love never even know you're gone and aren't in harm's way so long as you're still gone, so. That's the reason not to be worried.

I try to be.

Oh, I know -- I mean, it's not that. Really. I'm just not used to being without them. Or at least not Lucy. She and I have always been together for... big changes.

Good goal.

[ something in her voice softens a little at that, if not terribly so ] They might still show. And if not, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Humans are exceptionally good at adapting, so I'm sure I will.

voice;

[motherofnemesis]

That's true. I'll wish you good luck.

Thank you very much.
