"C'mon Lu, it isn't that bad" Leandre said as she waited by the door for Lucy to come out "I look ridiculous" Lucy said from behind the door "Well, no one's going to judge you here. Rules are different here in Narnia besides how bad could it be?"

Once Leandre was finished with her words, Lucy opened the door but didn't step out which allowed Leandre to see the outfit Lucy was wearing "Well...at least it fits" Was all Leandre could say. The shirt looked big that it looked baggy for Lucy and the pants sagged at the bottom but the boots seem to fit her nicely.

"It fits?" Lucy asked with her eye twitching. "I wish I have fur all over me that way I wouldn't have to look ridiculous at all" Leandre looked away "Be glad at least you have something to put on..." Lion she may be, Leandre was still raised by society and despite the non judgmental looks she was given by the Narnians she's still self conscious to think that she is practically wearing nothing underneath.

"C'mon girls! What's taking so long?!" Edmund's voice from below. Lucy grimaced as she glanced at Leandre to which the lioness just grinned, teeth showing, looking very comical. Lucy sighed and stomped her way down. Edmund and Caspian stared at her while Leandre simply tilted her head once their eyes went to her.

Feeling like he wanted to tease her, Caspian couldn't help but say out loud "Ah, excuse me lad. I don't suppose you've seen a young girl around here anywhere -" A jab to the side was all that Caspian felt as he and Edmund dissolved into laughter "Alright!" Lucy said, hoping the boys would finish soon from their laughing.

"Come on" Caspian said amidst laughter as he led them inside the Captain's Quarters. Lucy bunched up her shirt tied it to make them fit her more and make her look feminine. Leandre couldn't help but watch the three of them banter like siblings.

Its especially better for Caspian who didn't have a family anymore much less any siblings.

And despite how Edmund and Lucy put it, they also miss their older siblings who are away for months. To see someone they regard close as an older sibling tampers down the growing feeling of missing family.

As they entered the room, the Pevensie Siblings and Leandre felt nostalgia hitting them as they stared at the room that had decorations and markings they were all familiar with. Lucy came up to the shield logo of a lion,  a familiar lion. It was the same one Peter held back when they discovered in the ruins of Cair Paravel.

"Aslan..." She smiled fondly. Leandre stared at the symbol and a purr bursts forth from her. Lucy glanced at her and a teasing smile slowly finds it way in as Leandre looked away. Leandre's gaze went to the paintings of the Pevensie's on the day they hunted down the white stag that led them back to their home in the wardrobe. 

"We were children back then but had to grow up so quickly..."

Leandre thought as she stared at the paintings with a far off look on her face "Look, Susan's bow and arrows" Lucy said as she looked at the bow and set of arrows that were gifted by Father Christmas. "Lucy" Hearing Caspian call her, Lucy turned to see Caspian holding a small chest containing -

"My healing cordial and dagger" She raised her hands to grab them but stopped and looked at Caspian "May I?" Caspian let out a noise of agreement "Of course, they're yours" Caspian said with which Lucy quickly grabbed them and strapped them on her waist. "Peter's sword" Edmund said once he notice the sword placed on the side with the familiar lion head on the end of the bearer's handle.

"Yes, looked after it as promised" Caspian said as he made his way to the sword before handing it to Edmund "Here, hold it if you wish" Edmund quickly backed off "No, no, it's yours. Peter gave it to you" Edmund said. "Peter's your brother Edmund. What he has is yours as well." Leandre stated.
