[eldestking]

Not only were all his clothes dirty, but half of them were in disrepair, to the point where he was going to wash them and rip them up for rags (Susan was particularly pleased at this; she claimed she was tempted to use some of his older shirts whether he liked it or not). So not only did he have a bag of clothes to wash, but he was commanded to

Honour was not a fan of the Compound, so for once Edmund was completely alone when he found his brother. He grinned, pleased to see Peter elbow deep in that horrible box, and got himself a seat atop one of the unused washers.

"Uck," Edmund groaned, leaning away from the mere mention of his brother in a romantic situation, or otherwise. "Have her pick out the clothes then."

"Maybe I should, actually," He pursed his lips at the box, rolling his eyes to look back at his brother. "And one of these years I'm hoping you'll grow up."

"I've grown up once already," Ed answered lightly. "And so did you. But that didn't involve you walking about half-naked in front of visiting princesses."
