Hee! Yeah, I knew the moment I saw the prompt that I would not be able to fill this with only three sentences. (I needed Lucas to be pissed, Edmund to be awesome, wine drinking and a corny joke. No way I could fit that into three sentences!)
Oh yeah, Lucy would have totally told Susan what she thought; which is the difference between Lucas and Lucy in this scene. Lucy would not have had any second thoughts of telling Susan what she thought at once, Lucas decided to merely keep quiet. (I also think that the reason Lucy didn't come along to Calormen in HHB was that she was staying behind in protest (never mind that someone had to stay at home, IT WAS TOTALLY A PROTEST!) and Susan didn't bring her as punishment.)
Yeah, I imagine that by the time HHB rolled around Edmund would be cracking jokes about the White Witch (I would, at least.) And I always imagined that either it was Edmund's idea to go (and he'd whisper in the right ears that the Queen Susan wanted to visit Calormen), or Rabadash invited her by his own accord. Either way I imagine that Edmund's council was sought and there's a reason that he's the one who came with her.
I can totally see Peter as the one with the corny jokes and Edmund just rolling his eyes. (No, I haven't. I've barely watched the original movies. OT: I'm giving the DVD set to my brother for Christmas!)
I feel bad about saying it too, but I'm totally with you. I think I like Sam better than Susan *is a bad fan*
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I'm so excited you liked it. I had so much fun writing this, and I really think that I'm going to write more male!Pevensies.
