[wandbreaker]

That's very generous of you, Rosella.

[wandbreaker]

Why would I do that? I'm not Peter.

[primrosella]

Everyone can't be as adept as you, Edmund. That's no reason to poke fun.

[wandbreaker]

I'm rather sure he does it on purpose.

[primrosella]

Does he really? Why, I'll have to make certain to dance with him, then, so I can kick him for it in return.

[wandbreaker]

I think he rather likes you, though.

[primrosella]

Well, yes, but it's the principle of the thing.

...I helped him look after your horses a few times, when we thought--that is, when you were away. Gnat and Destrier, for that matter.

[wandbreaker]

That isn't his name.

[primrosella]

Have you settled on a different one yet?

[wandbreaker]

Siroc.

[primrosella]

That makes him sound like a knighted bird, you know.

[wandbreaker]

It's a kind of desert storm.

[primrosella]

Yes, but now I'm always going to think of him as Sir Roc, which is silly because he's small and only has one head, instead of massive with two.

[wandbreaker]

It's pronounced with an sh sound.

[primrosella]

Like sheer rock? Oh, that's even worse.

[wandbreaker]

Don't be daft.
