Roadside conversations
"Hello!" Caspian called out as he approached a chariot that was standing on the middle of the road from Calormen. "Is any one there? Hello!"
Caspian approached the chariot steadily removing his sword in case danger awaited him. He made no noise and opened the somewhat umbrella that covered the whole seat of the chariot.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She Screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Caspian screamed.
They both screamed at once like they both had seen a ghost of each other.
"Who are you?" The female figure questioned as she also took out her sword. "Do not come near me or i will cut off..."
"Calm down my lady". Caspian interrupted her while putting away his sword. "I did not mean to scare you nor do i mean you any harm."
"Well you did, now what do you want?" She questioned him as she pointed her sword straight at him as if ready to cut off his throat.
"I mean you no harm my lady. I left my donkey somewhere close by taking a drink of water as he got thirsty. I then decided to walk around until a saw this chariot here. I wondered who it was and what this beautiful thing would be doing here by itself." Caspian explained himself the fast way possible.
"Where are you heading to?" She asked in an orderly tone.
"I feel I might be able to explain myself well if a sword so sharp was not pointing at my neck."
"Are you afraid of a woman?" She questioned almost teasingly.
"I am not going to answer that". Caspian said politely.
"Typical Telmerine!" She said, putting her sword away.
"What do you mean?" Caspian asked curiously. "Are you not telmarine?" Caspian said while moving close to a tree for some shed and taking in as much air as possible.
"I hate the Telmarines. I am telmarine by birth but I am from Calormen." She said with a cloud of what looked like anger and sadness together on her face. She then moved to sit just besides Caspian.
"You must have strong reasons for that my lady" Caspian stated taking no offence at all.
"Indeed and I am not about to discuss them with a stranger, much worse a telmarine." She said and quickly dismissed her thoughts.
"Are you always this tough? And are you not supposed to be with someone to ride with you?" Caspian questioned.
"Which question must I answer?" She teased and chuckled.
"You have a beautiful smile; those dimples, oh my, they are the most beautiful things I have ever seen." Caspian said charmingly.
"That is not my question". She said trying to hide a smile although it did not work.
"You can answer both". Caspian said and smiled.
"I was with one of my father's knights but he went to ease himself." She answered. Her face lightened up.
"Oh I see." Caspian said still smiling.
"Are you flirting with me?" She asked straight forwardly.
"Perhaps" Caspian answered and chuckled. "Is it bad to appreciate beauty? Especially one as yours?" Caspian asked.
"Of course not but telmarine men are not my type. She said, being flirtatious herself.
"Really?". Caspian grinned. " And what is your" type" because you seem to be into me already". He joked.
"Get over yourself."She said and gave him a slap on his shoulder. "What is your name anyway"?
"Ladies first". Caspian said, pushing his hair back.
"Are you a sexist?" She questioned jokingly.
" Maybe" He laughed. "My name is Caspian." He said.
"The Caspian?" She asked shockingly.
"The Caspian?" He asked back repeating her words exactly not sure what she meant. He probably forgot who he was at that moment.
"Never mind". She said, dismissing the shock that she just met the king of Narnia. "My name is Beth, but you have to call me Lady Beth." She said with a warm smile that showed off her two beautiful dimples.
"That is a beautiful name, Lady Beth." Caspian complimented her name.
"Well, everything about me is beautiful your majesty, don't you agree?" She said and faked a bow then gave him a wink.
