Edmund wasn't easy enough with their situation to quite laugh off any romantic warnings from Al. But he was determined to take proper care of him while he was still under Cair Paravel's roof, especially if his pride had been neglecting him. There was no thought of rubbing in Al's face of what he had turned away from. Panther he might be, but Edmund was not capable of such vindictiveness.
He kept urging Al to eat more. "I know what you can put away," Edmund teased him. "I've seen you do it." It was almost like old times. His cheeks glowed pink with the inherent pleasure at being next to - not *his* alpha, but the alpha who made him feel as if everything would be well.
"Besides, you must be in tiptop shape for the tournament in a few days if you're to do us credit. The Lion's share and all." The expression in his eyes, peeking up at Al through thick lashes, was almost adoring. His body was tipped unconsciously toward the breadth of Al's, as if it couldn't help supplicating.
