-and I was so frightened. I was looking for flowers for Victoria, and then I got lost in the forest, and then I couldn't find a way out, and- and then I walked into a dream, and I found this strange place, and all the lights, and all the big buildings, and they all look like monsters-

[Wow. Listen to this boy talk. Caspian however doesn't have it in him to dismiss Tristan. Who would do that to such a face?]

I am sure they do not mean to scare you. The buildings or the trees.

[Usually the trees don't mean any harm. As for this Papa thing....sigh. Have a tall Telmarine kneeling to meet Tristan at eye level.]

Do you not think I am a little young to be your father?

[tinytristan]

I've- I've never seen anything like it.

[ He peeks up at Caspian, startled by his statement. This wasn't what he was expecting to hear, neither the content or the accent. ]

But- you have to be him. It's you, Papa! Your face is just the same. Your voice-- [ It is different, he notes. But maybe it's just a mistake of his hear. ] You have to be him.

[ Maybe this is all a nightmare; a nightmare he can't seem to wake up from. Enjoy more sobbing, crescendo with the passing seconds. ]

[treadingdawn]

[Oops. Okay okay. He reaches out to brush Tristan's hair from his eyes.]

Perhaps it is this place's magic. Even I could not explain it.

[Admitting this with a shake of his head, then Caspian offers Tristan his sleeve.]

Please, do not shed tears. Why don't I take you into town on my horse? Would you like milk? Tea?

[Brandy?]

[tinytristan]

You really don't know who I am?

[ Even as he says that, he gladly takes the sleeve. Tears and maybe a bit of snot soak Caspian's sleeve now. It's a child, what do you expect? ]

I'm Tristan! How could you forget me? [ His voice lowers to a whisper, fingers clutching tighter and tighter to Caspian as he continues. ] It's all a game, right? You're joking?

...Victoria?

There could be a hundred girls named Victoria for all I know. It's probably not him. That would be---

I know of her. Sadly. Assuming she's the same--- Well, there is one way to find out I suppose--- You're both from the village of Wall, isn't that right?
