Lucy/Tirian was my childhood otp, so now I want them to go on an adventure

"Did you use my sister's horn to call me?" Lucy asks, still sawing away at the ropes that tie the man to the tree. She'd only just come back from having tea with Mister Tumnus, so she only had her dagger on her--sharp, yes, but hacking the rope was dulling the blade. She could only hope she wouldn't need it to be at its usual precise sharpness. "Who tied you up like this? Why did you call me?"

"No, no, I didn't use any horn," the man murmured, looking half delirious. He gazed at her with such wide eyes. "But you came--oh, Aslan sent you, didn't he? Oh, praise to him, you're Queen Lucy!"

It was odd--as Queen, their subjects often treated her with deference, but no one had spoken of her with awe since the days of the prophecy, back before they defeated the Witch. Even Narnia's greatest allies didn't look at them with such wonder, the four children who'd saved a country with the help of a god.

But this man had the look of a Narnian, despite the few numbers of humans in Narnia even years after their coronation, and as Queen she knew she needed to help him. As he fell, released from his bonds, she scooped him up, giving his hand a squeeze as well as smiling as warmly as she could. "Let's get you away from here and on the mend. Then, you must tell me everything."
