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.]

[wandbreaker]

There's nothing funny about tribute.


[Said while smirking and in a humorous tone of voice]

[deadly_legacy]

[Also in a not quite so serious voice.] Of course not. I'm sure his highness is very appreciative.

[wandbreaker]

So appreciative that he'll insist on eating every single carrot in that crate.

By himself, naturally.

[deadly_legacy]

He would turn orange eating that many.

[wandbreaker]

I wonder if the orange will show with his skin color.

[deadly_legacy]

You wouldn't really expect him to eat so many, would you? [She thinks better of you than that, person she's never met!]

[wandbreaker]

[Pause]

No, I wouldn't.

[deadly_legacy]

[Smiles] What do you think he'll do with so many carrots? If only they would keep until winter. There could be an army of snowmen.

[wandbreaker]

Carrot soup, carrot cake, carrot stew...or he can donate them to the zoo.

[deadly_legacy]

Those are all good ideas. Especially the carrot cake.

I don't think we've spoken before, have we?

[wandbreaker]

I don't think so.

I'm Edmund.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm Euphemia, but Euphie works too. It's nice to meet you, Edmund, deliverer of carrots.

[wandbreaker]

No title is necessary, really.

[deadly_legacy]

I will keep that in mind. [Giggles]
