Lucy: Peter, can I please go with Edmund to rescue Eustace from Caspy? Jill is going! I promise to stay out of trouble! Please?

Edmund: Don't let her. I already told her no.

Peter: Lucy, I don't think it matters what I say because I know you will go anyway.

Edmund: Not again.

Peter: Now Lu, I would prefer that you stay here with Susan. But… I know you will go anyway. So I'll agree. Yes, you may go.

Lucy: WOOHOO! LOVE YOU, PETER!

Edmund: WHAT? PETER! I am NOT taking her!

Peter: Yes, Edmund, you're taking her.

Edmund: Then I'm not going.

Peter: Alright. Lucy, you can lead the rescue.

Edmund NO! Fine, I'm going.

Lucy: And you'll take me with?

Edmund: Yes…ug.

Peter: That's my King Edmund! Always Just!

Edmund: You don't have to rub it in, Pete.

Lucy: What will Susan say?

Peter: She'll be fine. She doesn't want to go. She's too creeped out about Caspy the Fake.

Lucy: Evil man. *shudder*

Peter: Well, you two better go get ready. You leave tomorrow, two hours after dawn. Right, Ed?

Edmund: Yes. Whatever.

Peter: Now Ed

Edmund: Don't you "Now Ed" me!

Peter: Fine. I see how it is.

Lucy: Enough! Or do I have to go get Orieus?

Edmund: Nope. Bye.

King Edmund has left chat

Peter: Despicable.

Lucy: Peter, watch yourself.

Peter: You're right, Lu. I'll go apologize after he cools off a bit. Goodbye!

Lucy: Bye!

Queen Susan has entered chat

Susan: Hello, Lu! Why is Ed in a flurry?

Lucy: Peter agreed that I could go with Ed to rescue Eustace. Edmund doesn't want to take me.

Susan: Well, I don't thoroughly approve of it, but I won't keep you back. Just be careful. Caspy and the Lady of the Green Kirtle are capable of anything.

Lucy: I know. Thanks for your concern, Su. But really, I think you should be more worried about your safety. Caspy or Rabadash could carry you off!

Susan: I was concerned about that so I talked to Peter. He said not to worry. Reepicheep and his mice are especially assigned to protect you and me. Isn't that right, Reep?

Reepicheep the Mouse has entered chat

Reepicheep: What, your majesty?

Susan: Oh, we were just commenting on how brave you are - protecting me and Lucy and all.

Reepicheep: Why thank you, your majesty. That is most gracious of your highness.

Susan: Thank you, kind knight.

Reepicheep: If you will excuse me, your highnesses, I must return to my duties.

Lucy: Goodbye Reepicheep!

Reepicheep: Farewell, my Queen.

Reepicheep has left chat

Susan: Lucy dear, I'm afraid I must be going as well. I need to help Edmund prepare for your journey tomorrow.

Lucy: Alright, Su! I should get ready as well.

Susan: See you at dinner!

How dare you do this, you witch! Free Aravis at once! As the Crown Prince of Archenland, I will not stand for this outrage. Return Aravis or you will pay.

Quite a firrey disposition there now, don't you think? Now Corr, darrrling, give me what I want and Arravis is yours. But refuse me again, and you shall neverrr seen your darrrling frrriend again. I won't say I didn't warrrn you.

Alright, I give in – but ONLY to save Aravis! Name your price. I shall pay it in full when you return Aravis, alive and well. Do not think of cheating behind my back. Beware. The wrath of Archenland is unstoppable. And I'm sure that Narnia would readily join with us. Choose wisely, you witch!

- Prince Cor of Archenland

P.S. As a warning, my royal brother Corin is ready to lay his fists on you the moment you try anything sneaky. He will forget the fact that you are a lady and give you a beating you aren't likely to forget.

Was that a threat, little prince? I do not fear your scrawny little brother. I shall do as I please. As for that girrrl, Arravis: she is getting to be quite a bother. If you do not hurry up, I think I may have to dispose of her myself. I'm sure there are several ancient Tarkaans in Tashbaan who would love to have the pretty little maid for a wife. Consider carefully!

P.S. The price is in the attachment.
