well, maybe that first bit...

Lines I am not allowed to put in "Dust" just to freak Eustace out:

after an assassination attempt
Eustace: "You're insane! He's insane!"
Peter: "Someone just tried to kill me and I'm the crazy one? EDMUND."
Edmund: "Don't blame me! I've been in Malaya getting shot the past year!"
Eustace: "You just killed him!"
Edmund: "Yes, because that is what you do when your life is threatened. Assassination attempts are generally BAD. And your reflexes are getting slower, Pete. I remember when you would have got him before he got near enough to scratch up your face."
Peter: "Yeah, I guess not having people try and kill you in your bed on a daily basis can dull your edge. I notice you didn't notice, either."
Eustace, ranting: "This is what being in the army gets you! It makes you violent! You learned that in the war, didn't you?"
Edmund: "NO HE DID NOT. Trust me here."
Peter: "Actually I learned that particular move when I was a merc in Natare. That's also where I learned to do that thing with my tongue that you like."
Pevensie sibling of your choice: "Oh, really? I thought you learned that from Osumare Seaworth."
Eustace: *speechless*
Edmund: "I'd say something about situationally appropriate conversation, but I'm enjoying this too much."

This is going to be fun. Wacky circumstances and sibling snark will always be fun!

he thinks he knows the Pevensies -- but he really doesn't.

*nods* He has no idea. Or maybe he does. I mean know the Pevensies. He just doesn't know High King Peter Bittersteel, King Edmund Silvertongue, Queen Susan Heartsbane and Queen Lucy Stoneheart. He knows their Pevensie masks. He just doesn't know what actually lie beneath. *snickers*

Although. I should probably figure out what the hell is going on; that might be a plus.

And Eustace thinks he knows Edmund and Lucy at least because he saw them on the Dawn Treader -- but those were controlled circumstances, and they weren't in their element. This, Narnia, wars and treachery and conquest -- this is what they were made for and what they know inside and out. And as for Peter and Susan -- he knows Lieutenant Peter Pevensies, the quiet, cocky RAF pilot who drinks too much and doesn't talk to people. He knows Susan, who's always a little too made up and whose laugh is always a little too hard; he knows the girl who walked away from Narnia, or the girl he thinks walked away from Narnia.

Now that's going to be a shock.
