[for Anne] went back to what you knew
Sep. 11th, 2014 07:11 pmBeing back at all, he knew, was a blessing. Being back and able to hold Anne tight certainly also was. Being back and also on his feet again?
He didn't want to diminish the other two genuine miracles, but he also couldn't help being entirely elated.
The first day, of course, he had been told not to push himself. It had been enough, at least, that he was able to walk through the Cair again--had been able to stand at the tallest spire and make his way down to the shore. It had been enough to stand on the dock and greet the newly returned Lord Drinian. It had been enough to lean on Anne's arm at the end of the day and feel himself fully, properly a King.
The next day saw him rising properly early of his own accord. It saw him strapping on light armour before the morning meal, feeling entirely secure in his own body again.
And meant, at the end of the meal, that his hand found Anne's with an entirely cheerful smile as he pulled her knuckles up for a soft kiss.
"Come. You're a woman of Narnia now. I want to show you what that means."
