Well.. maybe Al could understand a little. He loved his brother more than anyone in the world, but there were definitely times they didn't see eye to eye. Those fights could be messy. (And generally ended with Al cleaning up after Edward.)

He smiled slightly, looking to the side to meet the young King's eyes. "Obviously you don't know me well at all," he said slyly. "I never need to be yelled at. You're thinking of my brother."

Ed's antics were legendary. Certainly, if they were searching for a less laden topic, and one able to bring Edmund relief, that was a safe one. After all, Ed was known far and wide for wreaking havoc on Cair Paravel and its inhabitants. The leopards had even been his victims, once or twice. Not that he ever hurt anyone. He just bred madness wherever he went.
