Aha, so now we learn a bit more about Bazner. I was wondering about that since he hasn't made an appearance in this story since the start. :-) And so he too has a brother who knows about the Elephants. That doesn't seem to bode very well for the Monarchs, does it?
And as wonderful as the Elephants are, I do have to agree with Edmund that they seem so difficult to effectively communicate with. :-)
I love all the songs you've sprinkled throughout this story. It adds to the world-building and all the history of the characters and places in your Narnia-verse.
The conversation between Peridan and Susan about the Pevensie family was wonderful. I like that Susan could at least talk to someone outside of her siblings a little about her own parents, and a bit of what their life was like back then. I feel for her to be so isolated from her siblings in that -- that she can remember strongly of England while Lucy was indeed too young and Edmund's last memory of that place would not have been pleasant. I do wonder a bit at what Peter really thinks about all this. In theory, he should remember as well as Susan if not more, but perhaps with all his duties here, he never really thinks on it much and so dismisses it almost as if his own past was the fairy tale and that Narnia is the reality.
And it really is a shame that with all the guilt Susan feels about leaving their mother behind, that in the end, all four of them do return to England and that no time at all has passed them. Had she known what was to come, perhaps she could have been happier in Narnia and felt less remorse over thinking of all this.
If Bazner and Rovaper are indeed brothers, they seem so vastly different!
Hahaha. Poor Edmund. It seems as if Ferrin and Peridan always have the fun parts to play and the King gets the not only the worst beer (and will have to pay for all those rounds of the good stuff that Ferrin bought), but the worst women and positions in the taverns as well. Such is the life when he is far too noticeable being such a public figure.
