I love the relationship between Morgan and Jalur here. It makes sense, given how much they both love Edmund, that they would be the ones to really 'get' each other now. Thanks so much! I'm glad it worked for you. That is why Mr. Hoberry went to Jalur. It's very hard to say "No, go away," to a Tiger and he knows that. Morgan and Edmund's bonding scene is one of those that I set up early in the whole story arc in my head -- back in Part 1, Jezebel the beaver tries to take Mr. Beaver from Mrs. Beaver and one of her crimes is her attempt to break up a bonded pair under Narnia law. And then at the beginning of H&M I specifically introduced the 3 year bonded presumption. So, when Morgan brings a nice woman for Edmund to meet, and the Beasts get REALLY angry, and Morgan realizes she doesn't like it so much either ("You weren't supposed to like her, Harold!" "But, you brought her here for me to meet, didn't you?!") and the woman says, "you know, have you considered your own laws, King Edmund? I believe your subjects consider you already married." it's a HUGE, OMG what have we done??? Dalia has been keeping count of every season they are together in her room in the Cave.
I never wanted the very formal "I now pronounce you Man and Wife" sort of thing with Aslan presiding in the Lion chapel. I really wanted it more naturalistic to reflect the vision I had of Narnia. In my head, I had all these ideas for different bonding cermonies, in the same way there are the different grief ceremonies.
