[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 opens her mouth to say: Winterfell. but it hurts to even think about.]

Westeros. Are you really a king? [ because in her experience, kings are awful.]

I'm afraid I've never heard of Westeros either.

[He looks a little embarrassed at her question and gives her a smile.]

I know I look young, but I am really a king. At least in my world. I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, I was just concerned if any of my people were here, that they would know they weren't alone.

You don't have to be old to be king. [ joffrey is younger than robb and he's king.] It doesn't matter how old you are. [ although his smile, she is not so sure about. is he like joffrey?]

Do you like being king?

[ready_to_bloom]

No, I suppose that's true. I've been king for a few years now, so I'm older than when I started.

[Have a pause while he considers the question.]

I... like it well enough? There was a terrible king before me, and half of my people had to live in hiding because of him. So I think my country is better off, and I'm glad for it. But it's not always easy to be king.

[And rather lonely.]
