Lucy listened to the list with growing horror. It wasn't that any one of them, or even all of them, were unforgivable. But the kind of person who could do that for a hundred years, knowingly...was it fear, like her Mr. Tumnus? Or true belief in a future where the White Witch and her kind reigned over Narnia?
She exhaled slowly at the end of it all. Her thoughts were spinning. She realized Al had asked her a question, and turned her gaze back to him with a shake of her head. "The first month, he seemed...a little lost, but came back well from the attack. The second and third, he began to keep to himself some days, but others was his usual self. I confess, the change truly began when Kala came to court, although Susan keeps reminding about correlation and causality and all that." Lucy brushed aside the sensible notion with a hand. This was her brother's heart and mind they were battling for. There was no time to be sensible.
"Al. They've begun courtship, even if nothing's declared. He seems to think it his duty. I've told him a thousand times, he needn't marry soon or at all, but he won't listen." She made a noise of frustration. "Why does he have to be like himself when it comes to that, and nothing else?"
