As much as Caspian likes being out in the stables, there's a limit to how long you can spend working on your boat or grooming the horses or repairing tack before it becomes truly mind-numbing.

Besides, he needs some supper.

He seats himself at Bar, after brushing the hay from his shirt.

He may be ordering tea.

He shakes his head.

"Nay, I've not had the pleasure, but it is always good to see happiness here, and strength of family."

Looking into his tea, he smiles ruefully.

"It sometimes seems that we are rather lacking in simple joys and pleasures, here."

"Milliways people do have a knack for making their lives as complicated as possible."

Malcolm shrugs and smiles. "I guess you could say at least I don't have to worry about ever being bored."

Caspian smiles at that.

"Aye, that's true. I've never known a place to keep me so on my toes."

"Any news from Narnia?" Malcolm asks, and realizes that's actually fun to say.

"As a matter of fact," Caspian says, straightening, with a smile, "there is. My son, Rilian, has come back here from there--he is king now, and so he was telling me of all that had changed or stayed the same since I came here."

"Ah, now that's great news, Caspian. Congratulations."

"Has it changed much, or do you think you'd still recognize the place?"

[the_seafarer]

He laughs.

"It's only been a year since I last saw it," he says, smiling.

"I don't think it could have changed all that much, and what Rilian tells me makes me think that it hasn't changed at all. He has my old advisors, you know, and they tell him the same things they told me."

"Well, I don't know much about being a ruler, but I would imagine the people appreciate some continuity. Just to let everyday life go on without wars and upheavals?"
