The Knight had meant to be going through to his Lady's sitting room. The door hadn't functioned as a portal to the strange tavern for days, and he'd almost given up on the place as a fever-dream, one of the hallucinations he gets during his hour. But here he is again.

He looks a little puzzled, then shrugs and moves further in so as not to block the door.

"He's right on that, at least," she says with a smile.

Not at all awkwardly.

No.

"And let's get you some soup, shall we?"

Caspian takes her hand a bit more firmly, stubbornly ignoring whatever reactions they might be getting from Edmund or any of the others.

"A fine idea," he says, lightly, and leads Rilian over to a table, with enough seats for them all, stopping a waitrat along the way to order some food.

And enough tea for all.

Rilian still seems somewhat perturbed by everything, but he does at least start sipping the tea Edmund gave him.

Caspian does not touch the tea, only watches his son with a small smile, until the clock chimes the three-quarter hour.

That gains his attention very quickly, indeed.

"Rilian," he murmurs to his son, "come with me."

He stands, and bows to the others, giving Lucy's hand a brief kiss.

"I--would like to speak alone with my son, before the hour strikes. Thank you all, for your aid."

"Of course," Edmund replies, quietly.

It is possible he is eyeing Lucy.

Perhaps probable.

[called_lioness]

It is possible Lucy is giving him a look that says he waited a while to mention dating Kitty to her, and also that he can ask questions once he's given said Kitty the ring and made Lucy feel much better about the whole situation.

And that she squeezes Caspian's hand and says, softly, "I will see you later."

Rilian stands, and bows once more.

"I thank you, my Lords and Ladies, and pray that the next time we meet will be under better circumstances."

[the_seafarer]

Caspian nods to the others, smiles to Lucy, and heads for the stairs, speaking low with his son as they disappear.
