[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.]

[She doesn't say she's a queen, but Caspian can see there is something noble about her.]

Greetings, Lady Elincia. I am starting to wonder if that will be the case for everyone I meet - all of us from different lands, and worlds.

[She looks thoughtful, clasping her hands together]

I believe so. My world was filled with magic but for others it seems like magic was just a fairytale. Well, until they arrived here.

My land has magic as well, although it seems to be different here. And I've heard of worlds without magic before - this must be a strange adjustment for those folks.

Do you use magic yourself, my lady?

[devotedqueen]

Yes, I've been trained in healing magic along with sword fighting all my life. It's the only magic I can do however.

[ready_to_bloom]

I have no magic myself, but I think yours will be of great aid in this place.

[devotedqueen]

That is my hope. I rather heal than fight here.

[ready_to_bloom]

It's a noble calling, my lady. I'm sure I'll be glad of it, if I need healing myself.

[Hopefully not, though.]

I suppose I'll be doing mostly fighting. I've been in a few battles myself.

[devotedqueen]

Hopefully there will be no need.

[The less fighting, the less people getting hurt]

But if it's to protect the civilians then we could use all the help we can get.
