It's such a good thing I can amuse myself.

“Signal to the fleet,” Osumare said to Chinyere, “Narnia expects that everyone shall do their duty, and – why are you laughing?” he added to the High King, who’d let out a cackle of laughter at the words. Osumare couldn’t see why; it had seemed like a decent enough message when he’d suggested it last night.

“No reason,” Peter said, his mouth twitching. “Carry on, Admiral Seaworth.”

“Narnia expects that everyone shall do their duty, and to raise anchor and prepare to engage the enemy,” Osumare finished, giving Peter an odd look. The High King turned away, still chuckling.

I'd like to know what Peter's laughing about as well... perhaps he hasn't seen Osumare be so serious (and on duty) in a while? :-)

*sadface* My Trafalgar reference is apparently too obscure.

Maybe just too obscure for me. In all my years of school, history lessons were decidedly lacking. I don't think we ever did the Napoleonic Wars except a blink-and-you'll-miss-it mention.

Heh, I've never actually done the Napoleonic Wars in school -- believe it or not, my high school did not actually offer a world history class. At all.
