[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.]

Another ruler of humans? There are quite a few of you here.

[She seems pretty amused by this.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Deedlit. Though I don't recall meeting anyone from a place called Narnia...

[ready_to_bloom]

Well met, Deedlit. It seems unlikely that I will find other Narnians.

[He's interested in her amusement.]

Are you a ruler yourself?

[friendofspirits]

You never know. They could show up when you least expect it.

[She shakes her head a little.]

I'm not a ruler. I'm simply an elf. But I've met royalty of all kinds upon arriving here!

[ready_to_bloom]

I'll have to keep an eye out then.

[He gazes at her in the locket, a touch curiously.]

I've never met an elf before. It seems there will be many firsts here.

[friendofspirits]

Never? Well. I suppose it's not that surprising. My people typically stay in the forest and rarely come out.

[She shrugs a little at the thought, then smiles.]

I'm sure you'll meet stranger things than just elves here.
