second ♕ accidental video

[gentles]

[Although she has been getting a hang of using her comms device, she's had a poor habit of accidentally turning it on every once in a while- so bear with her. This seems to be once of those times, having hit a button when moving the device over.

Susan sits upon the bed in her room, staring down at the golden crown clasped gently in her hands. It's an intricate circlet of delicate looking leaves and gilded flowers, an item of clearly very fine craftsmenship. She's frowning, but there's also the slighest, almost nostalgic smile pulling her lips upward.]

[ooc; her crown looks like this in case anyone was curious]

Su? [ He almost sounds tentative. ] I think you... What have you got there?

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's beautiful. Is it a present from home?

[lacksgrace]

Nice, uh, thing you got there. [ A pause. ] What's it for?

( video )

[gentles]

[Oh. She turns toward the screen, her brow shooting up as a small flush spreads across her cheeks.]

Well, it's a crown Peter.

[gentles]

Not from England, it isn't.

[Oh, that just slipped out. She isn't even sure if anyone would believe her if she said she technically came from two worlds instead of just the one.]

[gentles]

[She blinks.]

It's a crown. They're usually worn on one's head.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Where from, then?

[gentles]

[Susan's silent for a few moments, staring down at her crown once more.]

There was a place. [No, that's not right.] A country... called Narnia. That's where it's from.

[wolfinthesnow]

That is a fine crown, Lady Susan.

[lacksgrace]

I get that. But why do you have one?

[resplendens]

[ He looks perfectly bemused, mixed with teasing and the long-suffering look of an older brother. ] Alright. Why do you have one?

[northerner]

Whoever forged such a crown had great talent. Is it yours?

[theshabbiestofmen]

I can't say I've heard of it-- but then, I've never heard of many worlds here. Are you-- I mean-- is that your crown, then?

[wigs]

Oh. [There is a pause as Effie breathes in. Bear with her -- she hasn't seen many pretty things since being on this ship.] That's a lovely piece of jewelry you have there.

[gentles]

It's a long story.

[But he does have all the right to hear it...]

[gentles]

[She offers a small smile. There's a slight hint of sadness to it, a weight to her voice that once again betrays her true age.]

It is. Though I hadn't seen it in quite some time.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Shall I call you my lady, then? You aren't our first royalty, though you are our first queen, I believe.

[resplendens]

Can't be any worse than one of your dictionary games.

[gentles]

[She smiles softly.]

Thank you.

[wellrested]

What a beautiful crown. Are you a princess?

[wolfinthesnow]

Is it yours?

[credences]

[ He knows he shouldn't be seeing this moment, but he is, all the same. His voice, when he speaks, is soft, gentle. ]

It's really lovely.

[ploughing]

You seem too young to look so forlornly at a crown.

[mathematically]

You should wear it.

[ Because if the ship feels like gifting people crowns, their crowns, it seems like a waste for them not to actually wear them. Especially if she's looking like that when she looks at it. ]

[gentles]

[Glancing over at the screen, she nods.]

It was.
