I want it, and I don't know why I can't-

Just because you're older doesn't mean that-

I want to talk to you, Peter.

We need to talk about who your crown should belong to. I want both that, and Rhindon. And I think that just because you're the oldest, it doesn't make you the logical choice.

Don't bring the girls or Caspian, into this. This is between you and me.

I already have my sword. But I want another.

Edmund is a better fighter than this. It's not easy to get him to do something so basic as pushing against Peter, because Peter is bigger than he is and weighs more, and so in close combat he's a much tougher opponent than if Edmund had kept his distance.

But it's Rhindon.

It's not only that Edmund wants Peter's sword - he wants to be close to it, he wants to be as close as possible. He doesn't fight the lock, then, only pushes closer and closer, his eyes drawn irresistibly to the lion's head on Rhindon's hilt. Edmund can see taking Lucy's dagger, too, and making the two weapons a matched set. They ought to be, anyway.

He doesn't even notice Peter's foot. He doesn't even notice Peter's gaze.

The point here is to disable the Just long enough to get him without quarrel or less quarrel into his quarters and lock him there. Peter doesn't go long on care here; a few bruises, some discomfort are inevitable when bringing someone else to the ground, especially when anticipating that other person fighting back, which he does.

Edmund isn't in his right mind, but there's nothing they can do to change that. All they can to is attempt to control the consequences of it, and confining his brother is the only thing that occurs to him, even as he tries now to think of anything else they could do.
