I feel like writing Peta/Caspian. Prompts, please?

Also, argh, because I switched out my contacts...before I realized that my boxes of new contacts aren't clearly labeled which set is right and left, and my eyes aren't quite equally horrible. (Close, but not quite.) I think I have them in the right eyes, but they kind of hurt, which is, uh, bad.

ETA: Never mind, I'm wearing glasses today; I don't feel like screwing around with these until Everything Is Resolved.

ETA: Wow, you guys are in the mood for domesticity today. I was thinking porn. *bemused*

I'm not sure if you out-and-out told me your Dying Times/Great Autumn, but I have a fairly good idea.

AH. Yes. That's a good explanation. I was wondering why my Narnian-Telmarines were afraid of the sea, since the Telmarine stock from which Drinian comes clearly weren't. Mind if I borrow your water-creature theory? Not sure if it will ever come up (it might. I think we're going to get a long conversation between Drinian and someone at some stage which will fill in some of the history. And teach Edmund and or Lucy the word I 'catamite'. Oh, won't that be joy and fun?)

I'm sure I'll think the same thing of The Bone's Prayer as I do of everything else: damn, you think too much :P.

Huh. There's a chunk of it here (http://bedlamsbard.livejournal.com/280372.html?thread=1742900#t1742900) (third paragraph, second one is Telmarine political problems during the Golden Age) that I babbled to realpestilence.

Go for it! I'm trying to figure out how to work them in, because we don't see them during PC (not that the salty Narnians would be any use inland, but the freshwater Narnians sure would have been), and by VotDT it becomes pretty clear that the merfolk, at least, have left Narnian rule a long friggin' time ago. Also, why they didn't attack the Telmarines that crossed the channel between Cair Paravel and the mainland. Oh, lordy. (Actually, the basic answer is that they don't spend a lot of time near the mainland; they don't have to, except for a few of them like the selkies. They have some limited correspondence with the very, very few Narnians who live in the eastern seaboard, and the reason that there are so few is that the Narnians are very nearly as scared of the east and the sea as the Telmarines, they just hide it better. Cair Paravel is haunted, the Burning really did happen, and the freshwater and saltwater Narnians are no friend to the inland (stony? sandy?) Narnians, no more than they are to the Telmarines. All they share is reverence of the Pevensies; they very occasionally visit the ruins of Cair Paravel to leave offerings there. (Things I learned in my Greek history class! I think it's kind of awesome and want to steal it.) But they're terrified of Cair Paravel; they're also the only Narnians who go there.)
