#jane bennet: lucy pevensie (pevensees)

@pevensees​ (LUCY!) said:  “ I shall never relinquish my sword for a ring” to JANE!

     a ring seems a much happier ending to jane, though she will not say so. not in this moment, not to lucy. a ring, a good husband, a good home, peace and happiness - - - she had always treasured those much more above even the thought of daring and adventure!  still - - - narnia is a different place than archenland, and the pevensies each different kinds of royals. and, somehow, she already cannot imagine lucy without her sword. for now, she simply takes the torn dress that lucy had come to her with and sets her needle to it, eyes on the glint of needle and pull of thread as she mends the tear with tiny, precise stitches. (even susan, she thinks, might never know the difference.) “....do you say so simply because you do not wish to give up your sword, or because you have no wish to marry?” she asks gently, glancing up from her mending. there is no judgment in her face, nor in her voice, only quiet curiosity. “because...well, it seems to me that if you wanted both, neither one should need to be relinquished.”
