Caspian smiled at Ellie, squeezing her shoulder.,
- You still remember it?? - He laughed. - I still have "war scars" because of those games. -
Edmund saw that Kris was hugging the unknown guy. He frowned and his hand slowly drew his sword.
- Edmund... - Emma growled. - I think she's fine... but who's that chap? -
- He seems to be a Wooder. - Caspian said. - He's well known. A thief, but a nice one. I met him once. He's presumed to be alive since your Golden Age. -
Peter stared at all of them.
- Alex! - Lucy cried. - That's Krissie's brother!! -
- Alex? - Edmund growled. He still remembered all of their fights. - What's... wasn't he dead or something? -
- No - Emma said, smiling radiantly. - He was left behind, he didn't come along when we crossed the wardrobe. But I can't believe... he's... alive? -
- We have to go and greet him! - Peter said, delighted. - What a glorious moment! Come, Giselle, I can explain you all about him. - He took her hand gently and both walked together. Emma and Susan stared at each other, rolling their eyes. Caspian laughed and walked along Susan and Caitlin, while Edmund, Lucy and Emma talked.
- Emma, are you all right? - Lucy said. She had seen brightness in her sister's eyes. She remembered that Emma and Alex had been very good friends, but their separation had been devastating for her.
- I am. - She assured her, smiling. Edmund growled.
- He won't be happy to see me. - He said.
- Why do you think so, ed? - Lucy asked.
- Well, in first place, because I told him to stay behind while we chased the White Stag, and that's why he didn't go back home. His mother thinks he's dead and so we did. IN second place... he's too jealous of Kris. -
- Not more than you, I bet. - Lucy laughed.
