I hit the bottom with a HUH quite strange.treadingdawnNovember 5 2009, 20:44:08 UTC
And yet word on the street is Chase has a high skill level when it comes to the sport of bowling and all its technical jargon, not to mention obligatory accessories. Honestly. Really if Chase had been a battle recreationist he might know those leather tourniquets keep his wrists from getting slashed. But Caspian isn't one to talk as the person who more or less inflicted the injuries upon his palm himself. After the fact he does sort of wonder why he took hold of Rhindon in the first place. Yes, to keep it from cutting into his neck, and maybe to show Peter he was unafraid. The phrase don't let them see you sweat comes to mind. He couldn't give the curse that power but in doing so caused harm to himself, not thinking the person under the curse's influence, a friend, his friend who is more than a friend, will be more likely to wince and turn away from the sight of the wound.
Maybe for this reason alone Caspian X will not complain one bit when he must receive stitches. They'll thread through his skin, he won't like it but that's punishment enough, and in the end the stitches are good for him anyway.
"I will do that," he nods to Chase, appreciating the option to leave as soon as he feels ready. Unfortunately sometimes the Telmarine doesn't feel ready when he actually is, but perhaps the doctor already knows that.
What he won't call it is domestic violence, firstly because Caspian probably can't wrap his mind around the meaning of it in modern times, and secondly because Peter is not truly at fault. They have never laid a hand on each other otherwise. Nearly coming to blows at the How doesn't count because that was before any of this and tensions were high with the deaths of their soldiers on their hands. They were boys looking for someone to blame, mainly each other. In fact it was the witch herself who helped to bring a King of Old and a Rebel Prince by underscoring the fact there are worse things that can happen and they will happen if they don't put their differences aside. None of it ever expressed by her will intentionally of course. Caspian knows now, the curse today, had everything to do with that horrible possibility, of accepting her offer out of pride and blind ambition. History repeated itself today too with Edmund arriving just in the nick of time.
The quick snap does not go unnoticed. "Have you already spoken to her," Caspian asks, interpreting Chase's expression as one of recognition, but how well the blond recognizes her is something he'll never know. His question is a curious one, succeeding in throwing him off that track. "She is shameless in calling herself Jadis the Queen of Narnia, wrongfully. If you are human she may ask for your blood and she will be tempting in doing so," he explains with a huff only to look at his wounded hand. Why he didn't notice before is strange--well not so strange, he was too busy fighting off Peter--the cut in his palm is in the exact same place where the hag opened him up for the White Witch. "She'll try to fool you with false gifts," Caspian concludes, brown eyes meeting Chase's blue ones again. He won't tell him to talk to Edmund if he wants to know more about it, but again, Chase doesn't need to be told.
