Aug. 15th, 2006 12:25 amSusan's nagging her.
Well, not nagging, Lucy admits as she climbs out of the bath and grabs her robe. Not nagging, but asking questions, like "rings" and "dress" and "WHEN are you getting married, Lu?" and Lucy's rather decided she should probably find out the answer to at least some of those questions.
So, she decides as she slips on nightgown and finger-combs through wet hair, she will just have to, when Caspian returns.

"Hullo, Lu. Had a nice day?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:18 am (UTC)"You?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:22 am (UTC)"I've been meaning to get Mal out for a sail. I really ought to talk to him about it before the summer starts to close."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:26 am (UTC)"But first we should talk, before my sister drives me mad asking me about our wedding."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:36 am (UTC)"I admit to being not terribly surprised that Susan was asking." He grins, and a few light freckles show scattered across the tan of his nose and cheekbones.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:40 am (UTC)"So." And for a moment, she looks a little helpless.
"What...what do you think weddings are like, anyway? I don't know. I mean, for you. My knowledge of Narnian weddings is a thousand years older than yours."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:43 am (UTC)He shrugs one shoulder, slightly, and grins at her with a hint of ruefulness.
"And that really isn't the sort of thing I want here, with you. I'm not sure--what have the weddings been like that you've been to?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:48 am (UTC)She looks a little ashamed at that, for a moment, before it passes.
"I just--vows and rings and a cleric, generally, in England. In Narnia, of course, they were different."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:54 am (UTC)He looks embarrassed.
"I'd forgotten--I'm sorry, Lu," he murmurs, rubbing at the back of his neck. "They weren't part of it in Narnia--we exchanged garlands, instead--though I remember Edmund telling me about the one he gave Kitty, when--
"And Susan and Cuthbert had them too. I'm sorry, Lu," he says, again, slightly crestfallen.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 03:57 am (UTC)His hand's pulled from his neck into her lap and held in both of hers.
"Why on earth would you be sorry?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:04 am (UTC)"All right. I'm just sorry I didn't think of it being a custom you know. Besides, we can have rings at the wedding, if we like."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:06 am (UTC)"I'll tell you about England if you tell me about Narnia."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:26 am (UTC)"Besides the garlands? Oh, I suppose it isn't all that different in the basics...there were vows, and I stood with Drinian. But it wasn't in a chapel," he remembers. "It was outside, in the orchard, in the springtime, and the trees were all in bloom. Her father married us."
Pauses. "Though that was a little different, I remember. Most weddings hadn't any sort of celebrant, now I think of it."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:32 am (UTC)And looks at him.
"None at all?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:37 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:40 am (UTC)"I suppose not. I'd say you could've, but you had far more Men in your time than there were in ours. Do you--well, do you want a celebrant at ours?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:42 am (UTC)"Well..."
And tries not to bring his hand back up to his neck.
"Whom would we have? Is there anyone...?"
Though he is thinking of one, and wonders if it might be possible.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:43 am (UTC)It's a joke.
Laugh, Caspian.
"Su'll never let me hear the end of it, if we don't have one," she adds, more seriously.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:49 am (UTC)Really.
A few seconds too late, but eventually!
"If it's important," he says bypassing the comment altogether, "we'll have one, Lu. We just need to find someone for it."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:52 am (UTC)She looks a little sheepish as she says that, as she's already asked Adam to do something else.
"It's important," Lucy says, finally. "Do you think--do you think Aslan might?"
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:54 am (UTC)"I don't know," he admits. "If he were here--but we couldn't just expect him to be here."
A small smile.
"He's not a tame Lion."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 04:56 am (UTC)And she smiles as she says it.
"But we could ask."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 05:03 am (UTC)"We could."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 05:05 am (UTC)And then winces, a little, at the thought of Adam and Aslan meeting.
"Er. I--asked Adam to give me away."
no subject
Date: 2006-08-17 05:08 am (UTC)"Ah," Caspian says, uselessly, after attempting to come up with something better and failing miserably.
"Well. That's good, then."
