The dust and din of the slave market faded into the creak of the Dawn Treader's timbers. Caspian watched you standing alone in the cabin, overwhelmed by the sudden quiet of your freedom. Your stillness amidst the auction's horror had seared itself into his memory, as had the scar of the brand upon your shoulder. Now, with the rebellion's echoes spent, he approached the door, his steps hushed against the wood. He paused, then rapped his knuckles lightly against the frame, waiting for your leave before crossing into your private space to witness your first moments in this new reality.
