She's bored.

She's groomed Corella, and she's practiced her archery, and she's had hot chocolate, and now she's sitting in a tree and dangling her legs and considering dropping things--tiny things, mind you, like twigs, non-inclined-to-injure things--on people should they pass by.

So. Bored.

"That does not -"






Long, long pause.



"What sort of title?"

"I have taken care of your tree," Mary admits.

Magnanimously!

(It is not like she wants a title she doesn't deserve.

"It does not matter about rings or anything."

Mary can be gracious, now. And is! Look at her be gracious.

"It is only to know it is real - that is all."

"Lilies o' the valley," Mary says, after some thought, with a decisive nod.

Silver bells. And cockleshells. It's appropriate.

Mary follows, straining to touch her toes down to the next-lowest branch before letting go.

She's rather curious as to what 'doing it properly' entails.

"Aslan is the lion," Mary answers, immediately; and a small smile forms on her face, quite of its own accord.


Which seems to be answer enough.

Mary's face is very solemn, as she listens to this speech - very solemn, and very still.

But solemnity is not incompatible with happiness; far from it, and her happiness is clear, shining out from her eyes and her small serious face.

"I shall," she says, a little breathless. "Oh - oh, I always shall."





Except possibly when she's bragging to Colin. But otherwise: yes.

"I'd like that," Mary says, and somehow she's managing to beam, even without smiling.

And then, clearly concentrating very hard to make sure she gets it right - it is not Yorkshire, not quite, but it is close: "I mean that I should like to be a lioness, I think - if that is like what the lion is, and like what thou are.

"And I should like to have a milkshake with thee too."
