calledmegentle All of Narnia is home. More than England ever will be, more than England ever can be. Even after a thousand years, Susan still can't help but love the land; feel entirely like she's where she belongs.
It's just that some parts of Narnia feel more at home than others, and this place in particular is one that always felt the most like it.
She's always looked upon it with wonder, and it's not something that changes now, the words escaping her lips in a soft, somewhat-awed breath.
"Cair Paravel."

THE BESTEST /o\

She couldn't ask for more than this; the both of them here in the place she had lived. That's what makes it home.
In part because it is a literal place they can nest. :|a
Date: 2014-01-13 05:58 am (UTC)One hand shifts briefly to smooth back a few strands of her hair before he looks up at the towers again.
"Is it... very like what you remember, then?"
And have little bb!birdies \o/
Date: 2014-01-13 06:19 am (UTC)"They did wonderfully in resdesigning and restoring it." And then a resting of her head against his shoulder, "You did wonderfully."

Date: 2014-01-13 06:29 am (UTC)"I did so little, Susan."
Which, he was coming to see, was actually a good deal of being a King. A lot more than expected came from simply finding the people to trust to bring forth the beauty in their own kingdom.
Eeeeeee bb /o\
Date: 2014-01-13 06:45 am (UTC)And maybe that was something comparatively little, yes. But she would thank those others who had been more involved in the restoration on her own time. Now was for the two of them.

Date: 2014-01-13 07:03 am (UTC)It's natural, now, to duck and press a brief kiss to her lips. To hold her just a little closer a moment and feel her lips smiling against his.
"And you did more than enough, I'm certain."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 07:25 am (UTC)It's said with a soft laugh and a bit of a chasing of his lips by hers.
"I just did my best."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 07:38 am (UTC)And she absolutely can't deny that. It was part of the way she served the kingdom, after all; working tirelessly on in the face of everything which cropped up in their path.
"Come. You said you'd show me the passages they built into the walls."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 03:48 pm (UTC)And if he thinks she's not going to take his hand as they start to head towards one of the passages, he's wrong.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 04:17 pm (UTC)"I can't-- imagine how exciting this is for you, Susan, but--"
But he's stunningly excited about it. He's more excited than he ever could have thought.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 04:40 pm (UTC)"It's thrilling, isn't it?"
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 05:45 pm (UTC)And he can't help laughing. He simply can't stop the sound from escaping. It's so wonderful, laughing without real reason.
"And it's-- silly, I know, because we-- even put some of these stones in ourselves, but..."
But it felt different, now. It felt as if the completion allowed him to see everything they'd planned and designed and even built with new eyes.

Date: 2014-01-13 06:15 pm (UTC)"Believe me, I know."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 07:35 pm (UTC)There's another tight squeeze of her fingers as he nods. "It's really... ours, now. All of ours."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-13 08:05 pm (UTC)Said as she lets her free hand fingers brush fondly against an apple tree.
"It's ours. Narnia is ours. And we are Narnia's."
That last part is especially important.

Date: 2014-01-13 08:47 pm (UTC)Apart from the fact that he was sharing it with her. Apart from the knowledge that--someday--they might be blessed with a child to share it with as well.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-14 02:43 am (UTC)Since they can share this together, even if she cannot share it with the others she loves.

Date: 2014-01-14 04:53 am (UTC)"Which-- tower is the best for watching the stars, then?"
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 04:16 am (UTC)Fitting, really, as it's facing towards the Great Eastern Sea, Aslan, and the Emperor himself.
"We used to go up there at night sometimes, just the four of us, and look at the stars and the sea."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 05:26 am (UTC)"It must be beautiful."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 05:34 am (UTC)And she squeezes his hand tightly once more again, in fondness and against the brief flicker in his smile and the slight pain in her heart.
"We should go, when it gets darker."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 05:42 am (UTC)"If you'd like."
He certainly would, after all.
"We'll have... worlds of time to."
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 06:10 am (UTC)And likely, there would be quite a bit of time spent on the Eastern tower. It was simply the way of things.
"But what better way to spend our first night at home?"
no subject
Date: 2014-01-15 06:16 am (UTC)Nothing more perfect than spending this afternoon exploring the twists and turns of their new home. Nothing better than settling in tonight under the stars before slipping back down to the warmth of their bed.
