Here. Edmund doesn't swear, even though he wants to. That means that Peter is incorporeal (Edmund hesitates to use the word dead) and Edmund doesn't know how to fix that, if there's even a way to fix it. "What do you need me to do?" Edmund is nothing if not a competent lieutenant, even if he judges for himself the validity of any order given him. "Do you expect me to tell Lucy?"
Despite the fact that the youngest Pevensie is more equipped to deal with this than any of the other siblings, Edmund thinks, just after the fact. But he knows Peter will try and protect the Valiant over anything else he does.
He vows, in his own way, to kick Peter hard in the head for all of this, when he gets back, because even if Edmund has to go to the deities to get him back, he will.
Because now we say goodnight from our own separate sides;
