She woke up the next day earlier than she imagined she would. Her entire body the previous night's battle. The stiffness in her arm wasn't surprising and neither was the pain. She avoided using it as she set up on her bedroll, yawning loudly. Next to her was an empty bed roll. Caspian had left sometime in the night. She vaguely remembered grabbing his hands before she fell asleep and then later on feeling his hand leave her alone. She sat there for a while, allowing her body and brain to wake up fully.

"Good morning, Drisana." At her door Cornelius was standing there watching her.

"G'morning. Have you seen Caspian?" she asked as she stood and stretched.

"I have not. I was actually just liking for him myself." the old man replies. Based on the dark circles under his ryes she could easily guess that he hadn't slept much. "Shall we go find our Prince?" he smiles at her and she miss, following him out the door. They ventured through the How looking for Caspian for a while before she realized that she had a clue as to where he would be hiding out. Sure enough they found him sitting on one of the terrace edges with his feet dangling over the edge and his hands folded in his lap. She sat down next to him without a word and the Professor followed her example. They sat there for a few minutes, not saying a thing to each other but the Prince finally broke the silence.

"Why did you never tell me about my father?"

"You were better off not knowing. You were the one who found your parents and we didn't wish to unbury the memory. “She tells him, hopping that he would understand.

"My mother was a black dwarf from the northern mountains." Cornelius began. Caspian looked at him a look of bewilderment across his face. "I risked my life all these years so that one day you might be a better King than those before you." he finishes. She smiles, knowing that they both had risked their lives for the boy that sat between them now. 

"Then I have failed you." Caspian replied and she scoffed at him. This comment saddened her. She knew that he hadn't failed. Not even close. She grabbed is hand in comfort, giving it a squeeze. He returned the gesture, the corner of his mouth turning up slightly. She smiled a little and put her head on his shoulder.

"Everything I told you...everything I didn't, it was only because I believe in you. You have the chance to become the noblest contradiction in history...The Telmarine who saved Narnia." Cornelius finished and Caspian looked like he was agreeing with the old man.
