[At one am, the Narnians raided a Telmarine camp killing three soldiers and taking weapons and armor for two regimens. After the battle, they all returned to the forest safe and sound]
{With Lucy}

Caspian's POV
My professor would teach all about Narnia, its inhabitants, and its royals. Queen Susan was famed for her graciousness, her archery skills, and her beauty. Queen Susan is truly a sight to behold, she's the most breathtaking woman I have ever laid my eyes on, I have seen many other maidens in Narnia, but never such a beauty as herself. Queen Susan's brown hair is sleek and flowing, her skin and rosy cheeks look to be so soft and smooth to the touch, she's got a pair of the bluest eyes that seem like the ocean had fallen in them, and her light pink and plump lips are so tempting and kissable, not to mention her beautiful and perfect body fits perfectly in my arms. Stop fantasizing about the queen, Caspian, have some respect for an angel like her
End of Caspian's POV
Susan's POV
Wow, that's all I've got, what a man, he's just so handsome, and I couldn't help but blush and smile when he looked at me. I usually would be irritated when other men look at me since I've been pursued by many suitors while I was living in Narnia and by many guys in England including that annoying guy by the newsstand yesterday, but Caspian, he can look at me whenever he wants. No man in Narnia and England compares to him, he's tall and has that black and soft-looking hair that I could run my fingers through, those deep, chocolate-brown, and expressive eyes that pierced right through my soul, and his deep charming voice paired with that irresistible accent. His soft and princely lips, his proud cleft chin, and his muscular body cannot be compared to no other man in any world. For the love of Aslan, Susan, focus, don't let yourself get distracted by this extremely attractive man
End of Susan's POV
[Caspian had led them to Aslan's how where the Narnians were operating, he showed them the stone table, and the story carved into the walls of the cave. Later on, Susan went to go practice with the archers outside while Peter and Edmund stayed inside to practice their swordsmanship skills with the others. Lucy decided to go with other women to pick up things for dinner, so they could feed everyone]
{With Susan}
*Ignore the green screens*

Caspian: Damn it
Susan: We'll get them eventually, let's just keep on practicing
[Caspian and Susan continue practicing with the Narnians until each one of them gets significantly better. They decide to take a break an hour before dinnertime and they start walking back to the how]
{With the group}
Caspian: So, uh, how did it feel to live in Narnia during the golden ages? I mean my professor told me stories and I read about the history,
but perhaps you can tell me more about your experience
Susan: Well, they were the best years of our lives. We established good laws, we preserved the peace and the nature of the country, and we reforged the alliance of Galma and The Lone Islands. The trees used to dance, music and dancing would happen throughout the entire day, and everyone was happy. Of course, when there were no other alternatives to avoid war, we did fight our battles
Caspian: I remember reading about those battles.  The Battle of Beruna, The Ettinsmoore war, and The Battle of Anvard
Susan: That's right, a few years later, we forged an alliance with Ettinsmoore, and nothing but good things came out of it.
Caspian: If you do not mind me asking, your highness, how old are you? You and your siblings look to be pretty young
Susan: I don't mind, both Peter and I turned seventeen on December 16th, Edmund turned fifteen on September 5th, and Lucy is going to turn eleven on July 22nd. How old are you, if I may ask that is?
Caspian: Of course, your majesty, I turned twenty-three on January 18th. Tell me, is your old world as wonderful as Narnia?
Susan: No, it's not, we're from a place called England, we were born in the city of Finchley, England, and it is nothing compared to Narnia. I'll admit that there are loads of beautiful places in our old world but Narnia's beauty is indescribable. Somehow, the stars shine brighter, the sky is bluer, the clouds are whiter, the trees are greener, and everything is, I don't know, much more soothing. It's hard to explain but here, I feel at home, I love it here, do you get it?
Caspian: I do, are your schools different too Susan: A little bit, Peter and I are twins, so we're in the same grade level, Edmund is two years younger than us, and Lucy is six years younger than us, so they're in different grade levels. Here in Narnia, we learned mathematics, history, geography, and culinary arts of Narnia. We also learned astronomy, hand-to-hand combat, sparring, riding, and royal etiquette. We taught the Narnians all of the sciences that we learned in our world up until we arrived in Narnia for the first time. In England, we go to boarding school, which means we stay at the school for the fall and then go home for two weeks during the winter, and then come back. We have classes with a lot of different classmates and different professors instead of one tutor per student. My siblings and I choose not to stay at school but instead go home every day
Caspian: Wow, it is very different
Susan: Yeah, it is, but it's not so bad
Caspian: What do you like to do for fun?
Susan: Archery, reading, writing, ballet, cooking, baking, playing instruments, singing, riding, and sailing
Caspian: What instruments do you play?
Susan: Piano, harp, violin, and flute. How about you?
Caspian: I like sparring, archery, hand-to-hand combat, sailing, and riding. I do like reading, writing, playing instruments, and cooking from time to time
Susan: What instruments do you play?
Caspian: Piano, guitar, and flute. What's your favorite color?
Susan: Blue, and you?
Caspian: I like any color, but mostly green, red, gold, and blue is a lovely color
(He takes a strand of hair out of Susan's eyes, and puts it behind her ear making her blush)
Caspian: I apologize if that was out of line
Susan: It wasn't
Caspian: Any favorite flora?
Susan: Not specifically, I love all flowers, but I am especially fond of roses. You know, there's also a war going on over there, it's a huge war between lots of countries, and my father is one of the soldiers on our side. We haven't seen him in a long time
Caspian: I am terribly sorry to hear that, my lady
Susan: Thank you, Prince Caspian, I know this might be a little personal, but any love prospects?
(Caspian chuckles)
Caspian: No, no one, I've been with other women, but they've never meant anything to me
Susan: How many?
Caspian: Two and yourself, your majesty? I know the story of Rabadash, but any other love prospects in Narnia or your old world
Susan: No, many men in Narnia wanted my hand in marriage, but I refused them all because I never loved anyone, and not one guy in my old world has ever gained my attention
Caspian: Well, I'm sure that when the time comes that it'll be an unforgettable experience
(Susan looks at him and he looks at her)
Susan: It sure will
[Everyone went to the river to wash their hands after a long day of training and then reentered the how for some dinner. They all ate roasted pavenders, drank some water, and had apples as their dessert. Afterwards, each member of the army took a turn to wash up in the river, so half of them could get some rest while the other half guarded the how]
