Miri, Edmund decides, is an odd little creature. She can flit about the Cair as though she as wings on her feet. She's small and graceful, dancing everywhere with a smile as bright and quick as Lucy's. But the smallest thing can change that and make her quiet, timid and fearful as a mouse. New people scare her, loud noises, quick movements. She always goes running to Edmund. Not motherly Susan, or even cheerful Lucy, but Edmund. All he can do is shrug and whisper and soothe as though she were a half-wild horse.
Peter only laughs and when she's feeling brave again she goes to him, hoping to learn something new. He'll teach her anything, even to fight, and calls her "little flower".
The girls call her "darling" or "sweetheart". The rest of the Cair just calls her "flower". No on but Edmund knows her real name and she won't let him tell.
