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.

[Though he might not know it this time around, Ginny was once very close to the younger Pevensie brother. So there's an almost unusual amount of familiarity in the surprise of her voice.]

[A pause, then, lightly,]

What could one person possibly do with two swords?

[wandbreaker]

It doesn't matter. I want them both.

And I'd like another broom, but why bother if it does the same job as the first? Think for a moment, won't you?

voice;

[wandbreaker]

Because both swords ought to be mine.

Ought?

Why is this so hard to grasp?

Because you're being ridiculous, of course. Wasn't all that given to you lot? I didn't think switching things around was part of it.

I didn't get anything. How is that fair?

... you're royalty too, aren't you? How isn't that fair?

voice;

[wandbreaker]

Of course I am.

Already king and you want to be king.

[Dry, so dry.]

And you're wondering why this is so hard to grasp. Edmund, really.

voice;

[wandbreaker]

No, I want his sword.

Because it isn't fair, him being the oldest and getting everything?

[Sigh.]

I know what that's like. I mean, of course I do, how couldn't I. But that stops being a good reason to be cross with your brother after your, I don't know, twelfth birthday.
