[Here's a young king, peering at his locket. He thinks he understands how it's supposed to work - the fairies were helpful enough, it's true. Still, the concept of communicating via… jewelry is rather foreign to him. But it's magic, and one thing Caspian knows is that magic doesn't have an easy explanation. He also knows that magic items are to be treated with caution, so he holds the locket carefully while peering into it.]

Oh! I think... I think this is working now? Hello? I talk into this, and I see and hear people talking back, right?

[Hopefully.]

I should introduce myself. I am Caspian X, King of Narnia. I need to know: are there any other Narnians here? If you are here, please contact me.

[Caspian's not sure what he hopes to hear in answer to that question: he doesn't want to think of any of his people here, brought here like himself to fight in a battle that is not his own. But (and he knows it's selfish), he'd like to think he has allies here.]

[Caspian's eyes widen at the sight of this young woman. She doesn't identify herself, but she's clearly of some status.]

My lady. [There's a sort of awkward bow visible through the locket.] Thank you for your welcome. Is this your land, or do you also come from another place?

I am not of Caer Glaem. I am one of the Sharded much as you are.

Have you gone to battle yet?

[He knows he shouldn't make snap judgments, but she doesn't seem like a fighting kind.]

Battle has come to us. [It seems the worms have began to attack, though she knows little of the matter only trying to help those who have come back.]

If you speak on my own experience, I can tell you I have none. But they have not only called upon soldiers for their war.

Yes, these strange worms.

[He considers her statement for a moment.]

That's true. Perhaps there are other ways to fight, beyond with arms.

I wish to care for the sick and wounded, if I may be permitted. I am no healer or doctor, but I would like to think I have a gentle heart and a willingness to learn.
