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.]

[Oh. Erm. Now there's a vaguely familiar voice.]

...Er. Edmund?

[wandbreaker]

Hello, Rosella.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Hello. Er...I do hope you'll pardon my asking, but are you...feeling all right?

[wandbreaker]

Are you asking because I brought Caspian a crate of carrots I could probably sleep in?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, that and because you, er...sound different than usual, somehow.

But yes, the carrots do have quite a bit to do with it.

[wandbreaker]

Well, older, you mean.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Um. Yes, I suppose that's rather it, actually. Is...everything all right?

[wandbreaker]

Everything's fine. I think this is a family situation.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Well, er, good! I'm very glad to hear everything is fine, of course.

...You really got him a whole crate of carrots?

[wandbreaker]

Well, he did demand tribute!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You didn't have to. But thank you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I don't think tribute is required when you hold the same rank--and in the same kingdom, no less.

[wandbreaker]

Well, we share the same rank, so this was a simple favor.

[wandbreaker]

Oh, but you demanded tribute, and I did make fun of you yesterday.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Is this your humble apology?

[wandbreaker]

I wouldn't be a very good king if I couldn't give you a proper apology, would I?

audio;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Well...no. No I suppose that is true.

[Scream, Ed has verbally trapped him.]

[oshutup.livejournal.com]

Now do you think he's going to carry it back himself?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Favors are perfectly understandable, of course, and especially so when it's to keep peace among fellow rulers.

Though I don't suppose he'd like it a bit better if some of those were made into carrot cake, would he?

[wandbreaker]

Would you be making carrot cake?

[wandbreaker]

So I do hope you enjoy them, Caspian.

[wandbreaker]

Oh, I'm sure he'll find someone to help him.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, you did bring me a whole bushel of carrots, you know. I can't imagine what else I might do with them, other than to give the rest of them back to you. But since I think you've managed to come up with more than enough already, you won't be needing mine, will you?

[ifyoucanholdon.livejournal.com]

One can only hope. I certainly won't be.

[wandbreaker]

You will share, won't you?
