So it's all rather sorted now.
The technology here compared to anywhere I've been at is certainly more advanced. It's interesting. I'm staying with Caspian, Peter and Susan in a flat somewhere. Lucy, where in the bloody bowels of Narnia are you? Three men in one room - it's actually more comfortable than you'dve expect. Thank you, Bree for getting

How much did you eat already, Ed?

Who knows. Probably not enough.
[He gives a lazy shrug, eyes the boxes and various cartoons of assorted items with barely-concealed glee. Oh my. It's certainly going to be a feast tonight.]

We will have a full kitchen by the end of the week.
[Caspian smiles easily to the other two. It's true, now that there are two extra stomachs, three because Ed overcompensates, the fridge is likely to get stuffed.]

Let's try to buy something healthy, at least? Susan would throw a fit if all we came back with were sweets.
[Says this as he puts in a jar of Nutella.]

Oh, but Peter. Just a few?
[Turns, gives his brother a look. The look. Peter's not immune. Edmund filches a bag of snakes. He doesn't know what it is, but it says 100% sugary-sweet! so he likes it already.]

I do not think either of you have much to worry about.
[Says Caspian with a look up and down both Peter and Edmund. Don't take it the wrong way, he means it innocently Caspian's just a player like that.]

[Nutella is a very healthy topping to wheat bread, thank you very much! Peter's more lenient today since it's Edmund's first time out shopping.]
What do you mean by that, Caspian?

Edmund shoots Caspian a sideways glance at his brother's words. Now he's rather curious indeed. What does Caspian mean?]

Susan does not clean the kitchen. I forbade her.
[Wow Caspian X, really? Really? Yeah, he turns around to busy himself with the label on a can of peaches.]

I'm pretty sure she would notice if all we had for dinner were gummies.
[As he says this, he reminds himself of a very important something.]
Whose turn is it to cook?

Honestly. Peter was many things. Brave, valiant, magnificent (as much as Edmund would never admit it to his face) and a wonderful brother. But usually perceptive, not quite. Caspian might have his brother fooled, but not Edmund.
Edmund resists the urge to snicker at what Caspian says. The whole idea of anyone forbidding Susan to do anything is completely beyond him. She probably isn't cleaning the kitchen anymore though. Susan is a bit weak for Caspian as Edmund knows.
He raises a hand wildly at the question however.]
Let me!

You?
[He asks Edmund, turning to face him again this time with a brow arched. Edmund can cook? Ahem, he clears his throat.]
I meant no disrespect. You may try...
[See the crux of this problem is... Caspian sees it as his kitchen, his domain. Except for the cabinet with all the tea things. That belongs to Peter 100%.]

We've already discussed this Ed. Not this time.
[He's too busy examining shelves to watch the other two's expressions. He doesn't think Caspian would lie about such things, so he feels no reason to doubt his word.]
Reply
Fine.
[Where Caspian's subtle, Peter's direct. It's more of what Edmund's used to.]

We will have paella.
[He declares without consulting them, because he is that confident in his ability to put together a good meal that satisfies all. Caspian has a truly royal palate after all. He ducks into another aisle over that declaration. Needs mushrooms. He prefers them fresh, but that's harder to prepare, so canned it is.]
