Caspian, at a table, looking utterly bewildered.

The horses are pink. Not just pink. Purple and green and, let's face it, they are all colors of the rainbow.

The horses are not supposed to be all colors of the rainbow, and Caspian is in the bar now trying to figure out a way to get the paint off that does not involve copious amount of water and soap.

He is not, shall we say, getting very far.

Caspian nods.

"I suppose that's true. Although it's hard to believe a country could change so much in only sixty years--in the thousand years between when Lucy and her family first came to Narnia and when they came back to aid me, very little had changed, except that which the Telmarines had forced."

I think-

there were times when things changed more slowly. Now everything and everybody is in such a rush. If things around them don't change fast enough, the only thing that changes is them, and that frightens people.

"Narnia is loathe to change, aye. We are happy in the lives we lead, and see no need to quicken them."

He stirs his tea, thoughtfully.

"I'm not certain I understand. People fear change in themselves, and yet welcome it in their world? Do they not change as their world does?"

[last_adam]

If-

*Adam pauses. He's not sure he's explaining it correctly, if there's any such thing.*

If the world changes, they can pay attention to that, and pretend they're watching changes in themselves, when really they're all just staying the same. But to pay attention to themselves is like admitting that they don't know what the hell they're doing. Be it specifically at that moment, or in the Grander scheme of things.

"Perhaps they need to realize that it is just as valid to question what they want and what they are doing, or need to do."

He shakes his head, bewildered.

"None of the Beasts ever had that problem. Perhaps they helped the Men in Narnia with such questions."

[last_adam]

Sounds like it's a peaceful place. Quiet.

*Like Tortall.*

[the_seafarer]

"Peaceful, aye."

And Caspian misses Narnia.

"Although we have our share of wars and battles--with the giants, and with the pockets of Telmarine supporters, with Calormene...but for the most part, the people are happy and the country peaceful."

[last_adam]

*Adam laughs a little.*

I'm not sure a happy and peaceful country in my world would know what to do with itself.
