Peter smiled at his siblings, but behind it he had a pressing problem. Lucy had since befriended a young star, only about the age of nineteen. His younger sister had spoke of her flowing golden blonde hair, her blue green eyes and her dazzling smile, but how she took no pride in her beauty. Peter had thought straight away that he must meet this soul, for she had the makings of a queen. Then a few days ago, Mr. Tumnus had come to him, saying that he had a problem, and it involved a certain young star. At once Peter had thought that she had turned bad, and was an old follower of the witch, but that was clearly not the case. Once the dear faun started talking about her, he could not stop. He told Peter of the time they met, of the many adventures they had been on, of her watching over him when all else failed. By the time the faun had finished, and Peter had asked what was such the matter, he explained what was on his mind. Or rather his heart.
"..So you see, I have known her for almost my entire life and still she is the most beautiful woman i have ever set eyes on. Oh, and now im afraid if i tell her such a thing i may lose her sweet smile and she may never talk to me again." Peter was startled at such a confession, "My dear faun Tumnus, I know i may be the high king, but why cannot you talk to the other fauns, or creatures?" Tumnus shook his head, "If they- if they knew of such a woman she would never get to see the sky. They would all want to meet her, and she would meet them, gladly. But what if the witch's old followers get to her... If they promise her they've changed and- and-" "..and what, Mr. Tumnus?" "and invite her back for tea." his voice broke at the last word, Peter knew all well that Tumnus didn't mean tea. They would kill her. Eventhough it takes alot to kill a star, they would, if they thought it would bring back the White Witch. "Oh dear Tumnus, i am afraid i do not know much on the subject, i am only several years into my regin, i am not much interested in a wife, or women of such." He knew that was a lie, but the faun didn't. "Oh, very well my King..I see. Well i must go, have duties and such." "Oh and dear Tumnus..!" "Yes?" "Do make sure you keep such a tresure safe as the star. As you said, we wouldn't want them to know about her. Please warn Lucy and her not to stroll too far into the forest, it could cause trouble for both of them." Tumnus nodded his head once, "Yes. I will."
Peter knew very well that it was rare for fauns to have such intrest in other creatures, in that way. Part of him still wanted to meet the star, oh what did Lucy call her..? He must remember her name. Part of him wanted to make her his queen, but the other part knew that that would be going against a good friend, an old friend, and a trusted protector.
"Oh, Edmund, Peter. I really want you two to meet her, and maybe when Susan gets back from her trip she could meet Ariette too!" Edmund looked at his younger sister, "You have certainly became good friends with her, I say we should meet her. If Lucy is excellent friends with her, then why shouldn't we be?" Peter nodded in agreement, slightly unsure of what might come of this, but agreed. "Yes, we should. When shall we make arrangements for, Lucy?" Lucy smiled and chewed happily on her lunch, "Well.. We agreed to meet later, and Mr. Tumnus said he couldn't come because he had to go on business with the beavers.. So..Then maybe?" Edmund nodded, "I have not a thing to do until i go to sleep, What about you Peter? Any High King problems you need to sort out?" Peter could hear Edmund snigger at what he just said and Lucy giggled silently. "No, Edmund. No High King Problems need sorted out...yet." he said with a stiffled laugh. The three all looked at eachother for a second then burst into laughter. High King Problems was the kind of inside joke that kept them laughing for hours.
"Oh, come on Edmund! You take longer than Susan does to get ready to see her sutiors!" Edmund cam practically jumping down the stairs, "I'm coming. I was just tending to a matter." Peter looked at him, "A matter outside of your hair?" "...Yes." "Of course you were, Edmund. You're just making yourself look pretty for a girl." Edmund's cheeks turned a scarlet red colour and he hid his face. Peter laughed, but got interuppted by Lucy's quite annoyed voice. "Are you coming? Because i don't like to be late, If im late it means i have to leave sooner." Edmund and Peter shared a look, "Alright. Alright, Lu. We're coming."
Lucy dragged them along a long winding path into the forest, Peter looked anxiously around, He wasn't sure he'd been to this part of the woods before, and with every moment that past, he got more sure this was a trap. Edmund on the other hand, was pulling his cloak over his shoulders, Autumn in Narnia was cold, but not as cold as Winter could be. Edmund looked around at Peter, who'd stopped. "What?" Peter's eyes looked wide with awe, Ed followed his eyes and saw exactly what he was looking at. A star.
Ariette smiled softly and looked at Lucy, "And-And- Oh. My brothers are here! Susan's away on a trip so she can't be here, but Edmund and Peter are!" Ariette looked up to see High King Peter and King Edmund staring at her in such awe, it looked like they were wonderstruck. "Oh.." Ariette giggled. Lucy turned around and rolled her eyes, "Such boys you are! You wouldn't think either of you were kings of Narnia." Edmund snapped out of it and nudged Peter who literally jumped in the air, blinking a couple of times, he walked closer to Lucy and Ariette. Peter kind of half-ran after him.
After a while they found their way back to Cair Paravel. Ariette told stories of the many fights she's witnessed, but not been in, of course. Edmund and Lucy smiled and laughed at funny jokes and listened entently to what she was saying. Peter was still stuck in his dilemma. Was he to betray his old friend, Mr. Tumnus? Or was he to honestly stop being such an idiot, and help Tumnus? When they were several step behind a chattering Edmund and Lucy, Ariette looked at Peter. "Is something on your mind..?" Peter looked at the woman beside him, and decided he could trust her. "I have a friend. Who is very fond of a certain woman..and..I'm afraid i might be a bad friend by being fond of her myself.." "..Oh." She seemed to think for a second, like she knew what would happen if he took either road, but was looking for the best advice to give. "Well..you are not a bad friend for being fond of a woman, that a friend is fond of too. It is just, wether you want to be with that woman as much as he does.." Peter thought of Tumnus' voice when he thought of Ariette, the way it would change slightly when he talked about her, and his constant rambling on and on about how if he told her he would lose her, the minute Lucy mentioned her name, his eyes lit up. No, Peter had decided. He would not go behind Tumnus' rather fury back and ask to court Ariette. For Tumnus loved her rather alot more that he ever would. Peter kissed Ariette's hand, "Thank you for helping me. I do appreciate it." Ariette smiled warmly and a blush tinted her cheeks, "Well you are welcome, Peter. Although i do not think my advice is worthy of a king's kiss." Peter smiled, "It is more than worthy." Ariette's cheeks turned slightly redder, and in the setting sun her eyes seemed to be a shade of murky gold, rather than blue or green. "You must go inside. It will get colder." Peter nodded, he trusted she knew the weather like the back of her hand, and she did, because many Narnian's complained of that cold night for months.
