you know what would add a level of awesome? well, lune is a businessman, and cor and corin are probably groomed to take over, so MAYBE they also went to b-school with caspian and arthur. because, you know, there's only one business school in the world.

also, identical twins are always fun for kicks.


arthur has forgotten about merlin. he's not exactly sure how he managed to forget about merlin, since merlin is about as subtle as a freight train.

"all right!" he chortles, kicking open the penthouse door -- arthur winces automatically -- and bumbling goodnaturedly into the hall, "gaius says you need to start eating better, so there's chai instead of coffee and then there's some -- who the hell are you?"

"get me coffee," arthur growls, then, "you remember caspian, right?"

"caspian? that caspian? the caspian who --"

"yes, that one," caspian says, except when arthur looks back at him caspian's not sitting down anymore, he's standing by the window with his hands loose and open by his sides.


hmm, back to the event...


lucy comes up at arthur's side out of nowhere, and he stares at her with a certain amount of trepidation. "lucy pevensie, right?" he asks after a few moments.

"schiffers, right nnow," she says brightly. "i just wanted to tell you that if you hear any explosions, don't forget to call the police! and the fbi. and homeland security. and anyone else. oh, and don't go out to your car or send anyone you like." she pauses. "or back to your penthouse. go home with someone, i'm sure there are lots of people here who'd volunteer."

"what are you --" arthur begins frantically, because she just wiggles her fingers in a wave and disappears into the crowd.
