William made a face at Alexandria and tossed her shoe back over to her.
William sat down with Alexandria. "So we're making good progress?"
William smiled, glad that Alexandria was easing up a bit.
William chuckled. Luke must not be liking this very much. He thought.
"I see your point," William agreed, knowing that that might upset his sister.
"I guess that's true," William said. "But why didn't the past Telmarines find out more about the Narnians instead of taking such a quick approach?"
William saw how his twin was starting to get in a mood, so he tried to lighten the situation. "Um, Prince Caspian, I was wondering... well, my sister did put it a bit harshly earlier... I was wondering why your people had driven the Narnians away."
"We'll find out soon enough," Wiliam interjected, not wanting there to be an argument.
"Alex," William sighed. "Don't get in over your head."
William walked alongside Alexandria, wondering what she was thinking about so hard. "Chances are that we will need a break. Alex isn't much for long distances." He smiled when Alexandria was jerked from her thoughts at William's comment, and laughed when she gave him her I'm-upset-with-you expression. He knew she'd get over it quickly though; she always did.
William hesitated for a moment. "A bit... but I'm trusting your judgement."
"That's okay," William said. "It'll give us some time to talk and think."
William frowned. He didn't like the idea of his twin keeping secrets from him. But he figured that Alex would tell him soon enough.
William smiled. "Glad to hear it."
"Alex!" William was shocked at his twin's choice of vocabulary.
"Al," William placed a hand on his twin's shoulder, calling her by his rare, affectionate name for her. "I know this is weird, but we do have to think about this logically. If we decide to go with Caspian, the Telmarine, than we might be able to get home. If we decide to go with Trufflehunter, a talking badger, than we might get caught up in something too big for us to handle."
"I'm about three hundred years older than all of you," Michael explained. "Even if you don't think so, I do know what I'm talking about."
"Beatrice, you don't have to do this," Michael tried to make Beatrice see reason. "You're still very young and this isn't exactly... safe."
"Alex is right," William agreed. "I think we should stay with Trufflehunter. He seems to know a lot about Narnia."
"We'll stay with you then," Wiliam decided and ran back to others. "Alex, Luke, Trufflehunter said that we should stay away from this Telmarine."
