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.

"They all reminded me too much of Eustace."
She might be getting eyed a little warily for the not!answer.

He considers this for a moment.
"Er...how likely is it that there's a dragon in our future?"
no subject
"About exactly as likely as however likely it is that Puff becomes a mother. Adam looked rather determined that Alanna would not keep any more dragons."
no subject
And though he only met Adam the once, all those months ago, he can easily believe it.

no subject

no subject
"That is excellent news." And he grins back.
"Not that it wouldn't be a pleasure, but really I'd rather have some time with just you before there are any dragons thrown into the mix. Volatile creatures, you know, dragons. Cause no end of trouble."

"Well, that's sorted, then."
A moment of consideration.
"Unfortunate that you hadn't one in Narnia. It might have been even more effective than throwing water at overzealous suitors."

He only lifts an eyebrow.
"You never did anything to any of the others, did you?"

He eyes her.
"...yes?"
no subject

"Well, I did like some of them well enough, you know, first. I didn't want to marry them, but they weren't all that bad. It was just--the determined or oafish ones who sometimes," vaguely, "needed a bit more convincing that their proposal had been rejected than simple words gave."
no subject
"I'm terribly glad you don't think I require such convincing," he says, finally, and sincerely.
"And I think I probably shan't ask what happened to them," grinning.

"Oh, I'm sure it was nothing too terrible," he smiles back, "only firm."
And she's right there, so he leans down to press kisses at the crook of neck and shoulder, very lightly brushing golden hair away from skin.

His free hand slides up to her the side of her neck, fingers threading through her hair, while he kisses just below her ear.

"It was very--very original of you."
The hand at her waist presses at her hip, firmly, fingers warm.
