I do love Dalia and Peter; they suit each other so well. That he can recognize her descendants a thousand years later is simultaneously heartwarming and terribly, terribly sad. I really like the way he consciously and carefully passes on both his sword and his guards to Caspian, to make very, very clear to Old Narnians that Caspian is their king too, not just king of the Telmarine Narnians. And Caspian's reluctance is a nice extension of his feelings of being unready and unworthy when Aslan talks to him about kingship in the book.

Although, I do have to wonder now why Sira wasn't aboard the Dawn Treader. Particularly because Reepicheep, brave and noble though he is, is not anybody's idea of a dedicated Royal Guard. *wry*
