I wish it didn't feel so odd to be back. I went back to England, and I was small again, and now I'm back here, older than I was when I left. And even that wouldn't be so odd, with Narnia, but here it's as if no time passed at all, and I suppose it didn't

I hope you haven't forgotten me.

[lionesscouchant]

Hello, Cain.

I haven't.

[misterblackbird]

I'm glad to hear that.

Are you well, after all your coming and going? I think you and your family do a great deal more traveling than most of us--not only different places but different worlds entirely.

[lionesscouchant]

I'm fine, how are you?

Well we don't travel that much!

[misterblackbird]

Well enough, thank you--better than I have been of late, I think, since people have gotten their memories back again.

It sounds as if you do from your Network entry. I suppose I thought wrong.

[lionesscouchant]

Oh, well I suppose I don't consider going to Narnia traveling.

[misterblackbird]

That's the difference, I think. I'd certainly think of it as traveling.

[lionesscouchant]

I think of it as going home.

[misterblackbird]

Now I think I understand better.

[lionesscouchant]

Do you have someplace like that, Cain?

[misterblackbird]

Well, London, of course--my London, I mean.

[lionesscouchant]

Then yes, I do think you understand.

[misterblackbird]

You're right: I wouldn't call that traveling at all.

[lionesscouchant]

It really hasn't been that long here, has it?

[misterblackbird]

Since you left? No, I don't think it's been very long at all--only a matter of weeks, I think.

How long was it for you?

[lionesscouchant]

Years.
