Battles are won. That's what happens in Narnia, in her experience. Battles are won, though this was only just.
What happens after is the question firmly set in her mind. If only... If only they don't have to go back. She doesn't. She's used to Narnia again, changed though it is. This castle is not like Cair Paravel, but it's somewhere she wouldn't mind, well, staying.
It's better here. Better than home. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia...
She drifts through a courtyard, gazing up at the spires of battlements. And that's where she sees him again.
"Hello Caspian," she says.
