more along the lines of EVERYONE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE trying to get arthur and merlin together. although a little more with the arthur knowing about merlin being all magical and whatnot.


so it turns out that caspian is miraz's nephew, and also that miraz's three casinos at one point belonged to caspian's father (also named caspian) before he died under mysterious circumstances and the property somehow got left to miraz, not caspian. as soon as edmund finds this out (on top of the susan business, and the last thing he needs is caspian gawking at susan the way he has been), he catches peter by the elbow and drags him outside the warehouse, slams the door shut, and pushes peter up against the wall. peter does not exactly protest. peter is kind of a bastard like that.

"you knew, didn't you?" he demands as peter blinks at him guilelessly.

"knew what?" peter asks, as if he doesn't have a clue what edmund's talking about.

edmund resists the urge to punch him in the face. it's been a lonely three years. "about susan. about miraz."

peter raises his eyebrows.

"about susan and miraz," edmund elaborates. "about caspian and miraz. did you deliberately go around hunting down people with grudges against this bloke?"

"of course not," peter says. "by the way, there's a possibility that miraz had reepicheep's father killed, but that's never been proven."

"are you actually in this for the robbery?" edmund says. "or just for revenge? or, god help us, are you in this to get susan back?"

"what?" peter says. "don't you think it's a little lonely, just the three of us?"
