❛ WHAT TO SAY TO YOU? ❜TWO DAYS LATER. . .
from High King Peter — 4:29 pm
❝ i've sent two dozen troops looking for you, in hope that you return. we're on the brink of war with ettinsmoor and i won't be able to fight that battle without you checking my strategies, telling me that it would be more practical to have me wait behind whilst you lead the dangerous missions. . .
edmund misses you, and i try to talk to him, but he's quiet because he's not got you to be silly with.
lucy cried last night and came into my room because in her nightmare she dreamt that you came back to us as a lifeless corpse.
susan says she's not sad, but sometimes i catch her trying to talk to someone across the table right where you usually sits and then she sits in silence for ages. . .
and i — i can't focus without you. i'm so sorry i wasn't there with you. ❞★ ★ ★
