Comments: I always saw Edmund as a spy master. He manipulated Meriaz pretty well.
Reviewers: Finally some reviewers. (= I am sorry for the lack of detail...I will try and get some of your questions cleared up soon.
Chapter:
Forest had decided that Reeds should stay with Lucy during the day, since he seemed to be her preferred companion. She was very bored watching after Edmund, however. He loved the Library and seemed to spend most of his time there. Forest looked over at the Just King and said, "Are you not tired yet?"
It was very late at night, nearly midnight, and Edmund seemed to be wide awake as he went through the Pirate history, "No, are you?"
"Yes. I am." Forest said tiredly as she laid across the couch, resting her legs over Edmunds.
The king continued to read and said dryly, "Make yourself comfortable." He raised an eyebrow at her as she held back a laugh, "Go to sleep too, if you need it."
Forest crossed her arms over her chest and snarked at him, "No. I need to stay up with you so the countries you made so happy don't kill you."
Edmund laughed and put his book down, "Fine, I will take you to your room."
"And you will go in yours. If I have to I will sleep across the doorway so you can't escape." Forest and, obviously not in a benevolent mood.
"Yes. Me in my room and you in yours." Edmund pushed her legs off of him then stood up, offering her a hand up. Forest took his hand and stood up, following the Just King down the halls towards the sleeping area.
Edmund opened her door for her and Forest walked into her room, saying, "Goodnight, Edmund."
"Goodnight bodyguard." Edmund answered with a grin, he closed the door and held back a laugh when a pillow whacked into the door. He walked into his own room and laid down on the bed, but just as he was getting to sleep Forest came in and whacked him in the head with the pillow before going back to her room.
Edmund burst into laughter and then rolled over and watched as she closed to the door, "Goodnight, beautiful."
Forest made a funny noise in her anger and made Edmund laugh again. He rolled back unto his back and fell into a light sleep.
When Edmund woke up in the morning he noticed that something was amiss. He looked over at the joined doors and noticed that it was opened. Forest was still there, but she was sitting up and rubbing her face.
"Forest?"
The girl looked over at Edmund from her spot, "Yes?"
"Why is the door opened?" Edmund raised an eyebrow as he asked this, surprised he hadn't woken up in the night.
"I thought I heard someone in your room, so I opened the door and left it opened. You were having a nightmare." Forest got up and entered the room, making Edmund uncomfortable with how easily she could change rooms. He would never have felt right about entering hers.
Forest walked right up to the king and handed him his dagger, "You tried to kill me with this when I tried to wake you. So I took it."
"I am sorry."
"We all have nightmares Edmund."
