Log;

♚detaiiiiils.♕
Location: stadium, looking vaguely like the ring with broken columns and whatnot you see here....but larger as to be in keeping with stadium size, etc, etc. That's a basic idea though.

Annnnd threads will be made for the following 83

I. Pre-duel
a) [locked: Pevensies + Caspian]
b) [locked: Jadis + Allies]
II. Duel [locked: Jadis VS. Peter]
III. Duel [the public, anyone present and watching in the stadium, and while this obviously includes Caspian, Lucy, and Susan, we are opening it for anyone else who would be there and wants to actually do a semi-real-time reaction log. It doesn't have to be fancy, it's just an opportunity that we thought might be interesting to offer, and fun, perhaps. Reply to the main [blank] thread labeled as such with whatever your character is doing, or similarly, to another character's action if you want to interact, reacting.]
IV. Post-duel [locked: Pevensies + Caspian]

Lucy gave her favor. Oh, that's right. One of those rituals learned in the court. How can she expect Peter to go into combat without it? Peter doesn't need two kerchiefs. Instead Susan removes a green ribbon from her hair.

"You'll do your best." That's all that can be done. Aslan would never let Peter lose. Never. Susan hopes that if he were ever near in the City it would be in a moment like this. Someone needs to watch over him, right now she can't. Not enough to save him from should the tide turn. She won't think like that. Not long.

Peter will win because...he will win.

The ribbon is soft and smooth under his fingers as he takes it, just as he accepted Lucy's handkerchief. Both of these mean a great deal to him, knowing the people who give them well enough to appreciate the giving in itself. The kerchief being tucked deftly and knotted to stay behind his belt, he adds the ribbon, threading it through the buckle, similarly so that no stray edge remains, lest they become worrisome in the fight. It isn't ideal, as they're more likely to be struck, worn as they are, but he would have them visible, material support that can be seen by anyone looking for such a thing, even from the seat of observation.

Whether Aslan can be seen or not, he thinks that the lion must be aware of what is going on, and on top of that, Peter wants to believe he will not let him fall. His mind filters to years of Narnia spent under invasion, and the falter is brief, but very much there. Where were you then? He never did get an answer. It ends up being that he must feel independent of the large and mysterious cat, but not without him, which would be very different indeed.

You'll do your best. Yes, I will, he thinks.

"And it will be enough," he promises her, looking up, finished with securing the second favor. What he doesn't say is: it has to be enough.

She knows that the small collection he has at his belt may fall out. That's fine to Susan. Just let him come back. Let him make it through. Better yet, let him win.

"Yes. I know it will." If one thing is true, it's that Peter will give it his all. And it will be enough.
