Caspian stole a glance at Robin, who was leaning on a tree as narnians continued shouting next to them. She seemed calm and collected and Caspian found himself relaxing as he looked at her. But he couldn't help the questions lingering in his mind.
Did she know him like he knew her? Did she dream of him too? Or was he just weird like that?
"All this horn proves that they've stolen yet another thing from us!" Nikabrik shouted, holding up the magic horn and snapping Caspian out of his little bubble of thoughts. A small blush rose to his cheeks when he realized he had been staring at Robin pretty long and that some narnians were deemed to notice.
"I didn't steal anything!" he yelled as he spun around, looking at every narnian.
"Didn't steal anything? Shall we list all the things telmarines have stolen from us?" a minotaur shrieked.
"Our homes!"
"Our freedom!"
"Our lives!"
"You would hold me accountable for the crimes of me people?" Caspian asked self conscious, hoping that Robin would help him.
"Accountable and punishable!" Nikabrik yelled.
"You seem to forget, Nikabrik." Robin's voice silenced everyone as she looked at the dwarf with her head tilted. "That you fought against us once, alongside the White Witch."
Caspian's lip twitched proudly as Nikabrik spluttered an answer. "I'd do it again if it rid us of these telmarines!"
"But the White Witch wanted us narnians dead too." Robin rose an eyebrow as several narnians nodded in agreement.
Nikabrik remained speechless and glared at Robin as narnians started shouting again.
"You seem to forget that Narnia was never right except when Queen Robin ruled alongside the old Kings and Queens!" Trufflehunter shouted. "That means when she ruled alongside a son of Adam!"
"He's a telmarine! Why would we want him as our king!" Nikabrik finally found his voice as he shouted.
"Because I can help you!" Caspian reasoned. "Beyond these woods, I am prince. The telmarine throne is rightfully mine. Help me claim it and I can bring peace between us."
Robin shot him a small smile of encouragement when he caught her eye, as both their hearts fluttered with feelings they didn't know had been destined in the stars thousands of years ago.
"The Lord of Victory and the Lady of Peace have met and here a son of Adam has come forth to offer us peace, an alliance with our Queen."
"Do you really think it there could be peace?" a squirrel asked with wide eyes as he looked between Robin and Caspian.
"Two days ago-" Caspian started. "I didn't believe in talking animals or dwarfs or centaurs. Yet here you are, in strength, in numbers we Telmarines could never imagine. This horn brought us together and I think that I can help Queen Robin gain peace."
Everyone's attention quickly shifted to Robin who stood up from where she was leaning and walked towards Caspian, a determined look on her face. He desperately wanted to shuffle nervously on his feet because her gaze was almost as hot as a forest fire.
Robin stopped not far from Caspian and brought her hand forward, something she learned from the Pevensies. "For Narnia and for our people's peace." she stated with a small smile. Caspian smiled too and brought his hand forward, meeting hers in the middle. They both shook their hands, ignoring the slight shiver it sent eachothers spine as narnians cheered in the backround.

Robin played with Aragorn up on a tree branch as she watched several narnians get ready to raid some telmarines of their weapons. Aragorn slightly grumbled when Robin unknowingly stopped playing with him and she shook her head with a small smile. "You greedy little thing." she muttered softly.
The branch shook beside her as Robin's eyes snapped open to her intruder. She relaxed when she recognized the dark hair and brown eyes that belonged to Caspian. Her heart though, started beating faster and her hands were sweatier. Aslan, what was wrong with her?
"Sorry if I startled you, your majesty." he offered Robin a sheepish smile as he sat next to her on the thick branch.
"It's fine. I was just thinking." Robin sighed then sent him a pointed look. "Please call me Robin."
Caspian smiled. "Only if you call me Caspian."
"Deal." Robin nodded with a small grin and Caspian couldn't help but mirror her expression.
Aragorn made a small noise as he looked up at Caspian. Caspian's own eyes widened as he looked at the little dragon. "Is that a dragon?"
Robin smiled. "Yes, his name is Aragorn. I got him as a gift from Father Christmas years ago."
Caspian's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Aren't dragon's supposed to be well...bigger?"
Robin chuckled lightly. "Aragorn could get as big as five houses if he wished to, Caspian. But it's easier to carry him if he's smaller."
Caspian nodded as a moment of silence followed them before he took a deep breath. "Robin... I-I've had several dreams about you." he admitted. "I saw when you stabbed yourself at the Stone Table, I saw you running in the woods, I saw our-" he cut himself off. He definitly didn't want to make Robin uncomfortable.
A long silence followed Caspian's confession, making his nerves skyrocket. He messed up. Now Robin was weirded out by him and wouldn't want to talk to him again. She'll think he-
"I do too." Robin confessed lowly. "I've had so many dreams but they've stopped hundreds of years ago. I almost didn't recognize you today, but then you said your name. Caspian. I knew it sounded familiar because in my dreams I always called you Cas and you always called me-"
"Ro. I always called you Ro." Caspian interrupted with a small smile.
Robin exhaled. "You did."
Caspian swallowed hard, looking in her dark eyes. "But what do these dreams mean? Is it the future?"
Robin sighed slightly as she took one of his hands in hers. "I don't know but we'll figure it out together."she reassured. "I'm glad you're here, Cas."
Caspian smiled back and squeezed her hand, all his nerves disappearing. "I'm glad you found us when you did, Ro."
