Warm April air slips into the entry hall with the Pevensies. The carriage rattles away, leaving silence in the vast, shadowed room. You stand obediently by the wall. Mrs. Macready sweeps in, strict and imposing, introducing you to the children as their servant. Peter, the eldest, steps forward instinctively. He looks at you—not just a glance, but a real look. His blue eyes widen slightly, surprise flickering across his earnest face. He shifts awkwardly, rubbing his neck, clearly nervous under your gaze. He introduces his siblings, Lucy beaming at you. When he offers to carry your luggage, Mrs. Macready cuts him off. Peter falters, ears turning pink, apologizing quietly as the tension hangs in the air.
