You know today all the carrots in the City seem to be on sale. It made this very easy, and also quite within a budget. But I finally got his Royal Majesty, King Caspian X, King of Narnia, Emperor of the Lone Islands, Lord of Cair Paravel, Duke of the Lantern Waste, Duke of Galma and the Seven Isles, Count of the Western March, and Lord of Telmar his rightful tribute.

It's only fitting that his majesty gets his due, after all.



[There is a crate of carrots at the Blue Light. How Edmund got them there is a mystery.]

Or he'll eat them all at the Blue Light.

Yes. I think I will.

[Snort.]

Thank you, Edmund.

Or he'll have lost his appetite for them today and donate them.

To who, I have no idea.

[wandbreaker]

You're welcome.

Are you going to bring them home? Rosella suggested carrot cake.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Only if it turns out all right! We used to grow carrots back in Daventry, so there was always plenty of opportunity for carrot cake, but it's always a bit of a gamble when I try to make it myself. Sometimes it turns out just fine, and other times it comes out a bit of a mess. So it'll take quite a bit of hoping to make sure it comes out the way it ought to.

Oh, he wouldn't do that to such a thoughtful tribute. He's a better king than that.

[wandbreaker]

Daventry grows carrots? Like a crop?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No I'm going to leave them to rot.

Of course I am going to bring them home.

[wandbreaker]

Well don't feel obliged to share.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

No, silly, in our garden! Out behind the back of the castle we have a great big vegetable garden with all sorts of things growing, and so there are always plenty of carrots, among other things.

[wandbreaker]

Oh, well that's far better.

Daddy grew a beanstalk once, too, but those were rather unusual circumstances. And, er, very unusual beans. But there really isn't much use in a beanstalk like that anymore, anyway, since it's so much easier to just take the stairs.

[wandbreaker]

A giant beanstalk?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm! Up into the Land of the Clouds. Ifnkovhgroghprm gave him the beans for it, and he went and planted them in a nice little flower garden, and up it grew, as easy as that.

There's nothing wrong with donation. Someone will eat them, use them for cakes, or what-have-you.

[wandbreaker]

...pardon, who?

audio ][

[wandbreaker]

Now Peter.

He wouldn't want to offend me.

audio ][

[ifyoucanholdon.livejournal.com]

[ dryly sarcastic of course ]

Because you would be so offended.

audio ][

[wandbreaker]

After choosing all those carrots?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Ifnkovhgroghprm? He's a gnome, and an old friend of the family.

[wandbreaker]

That's certainly an...unusual name.

[ifyoucanholdon.livejournal.com]

After choosing all of those carrots.

[wandbreaker]

And carting them to the Blue Light specifically for him?

audio ][

[ifyoucanholdon.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[wandbreaker]

....I might be a touch miffed.
