Who knew that this body would be so difficult? Being tall is more work than it's cut out for.
Have you ever had a day where you don't quite feel like yourself? I think I'm having one today.
[ooc:
Here is the explanation for this shenanigan. Strikes gone!]

Are you sure you're alright?

But it wasn't like Peter to switch in between like this.
So here's a knock on your door, Lan you body thief Peter. And here's a brother looking to find out exactly what's going on.

He stood from the made bed (Peter seemed the type to be ridiculously fastidious about those things) and opened the door.
"Ed?"

But here, have one of the Pevensie brother's customary unspoken conversations. Have a glance that clearly reads: you're not alright and don't you deny it.
Because as irritating as it was to have someone call you on it (and Ed knows, better than anyone), it helped to not be alone, even if you didn't actually talk.

He replies, almost with instinct, with a look that says: I'm not going to discuss it before he remembers that it's not Ri. It's not like Edmund looks like him, but the point remains anyway.
Peter's body moves away from the door to let Edmund in anyway, even if he doesn't offer any words to the shorter (my god, he really was tall) boy.

Best blow this wide open.
"You've been acting weird enough. What's happened, and don't lie."

There was a tinge of guilt. Was there something that Edmund couldn't do without his brother? This wasn't the time to care. He mentally shook it off. Twins were different, he reassured himself. And Ri...Ri had survived.
"Nothing's happened."

"Right." another glance at Peter.
You're lying.
They've danced this one before, around and around the true nature of the problem, and it's a familiar feeling.
But Ed gets the sense that this isn't just about Father.

Could it be that would be it?
Of course not. He felt something was wrong, and something was. It didn't help that Lan was starting to feel the beginning of a headache. No wonder Peter frowned so much. If this was what he dealt with every day?
