the last swig of wine is given to arthur because he is the guest. their bellies are warm with it and their tongues are loose with it, babbling about which wines are best and why, which weapons are best and why. "it depends," says arthur, "who and where you're fighting."

"a good knife is desirable in more circumstances than, say, a good bow," edmund cuts in. "a knife over a bow and arrow anyday."

"you just say that because you're a terrible shot," peter says merrily.

"no, no no," says edmund, "i'm alright with a bow."

"su bested him in friendly competition before we got called away to the south," peter explains to arthur. "he's been taking it badly."

edmund explains to arthur, "this is lies."

"oh," says arthur, amused, "so you won?"

"well, technically the placement of the target was--"

"no," peter says, shaking his head. "no, he didn't."

edmund insists, "well, the target--" and is ignored as peter and arthur break into laughter. edmund is not without a smile himself. their recent victory is sweet as the wine they just drank, and they soon fall to arguing which one they should drink next.
