lucy picked up her accent in london some years back during the belogravian heart of gold job. she flew across the atlantic ahead of her siblings to scout the situation out, and when everyone showed up bleary-eyed and jet-lagged at heathrow, lucy greeted them in the arrival hall with a man in tow who looked like that guy from that movie about the genocide that won lots of awards.
lucy says, "this is basher."
she picks up his cockney in a casual way, the way she wraps herself around all her loves-of-the-moment, and even when they've scarpered back across the atlantic with couple hundred thousand dollars' worth of white gold, she keeps it even if she doesn't keep him. keeps the cockney. at first it's just a joke, almost a souvenir -- she whips out father ted and tea leaves in casual conversation and it drives susan insane. peter is amused, edmund confused. but you know how jokes become habits? yeah.
i <3 this susan too! and i know the tense is all fucked up, whatever. i think i picked up the hapless!caspian characterization from YOU.
