Thank you. I've had my doubts about this chapter and still do so I appreciate you weighing in. I feel routinely that all of you have a better handle on what is going on here than I do. Also, I've been whacked over the head a lot by the Narnia fen the last week or two and I'm in that mode of OMG time to take everything down and run away.
It is hard to have one of Our Heroes make mistakes. Readers don't like it, often. I did wonder if it was too big a thing, too dramatic, too out of character. I've wondered if I went too far and people are too polite to say.
Pierce did make the same assumptions about Narnia and Edmund is, with reason, concerned. He knows Morgan is better there; Morgan isn't sure what she wants; Edmund still has these doubts that something makes him happy must be wrong/bad/evil/flawed.
He is getting better, he is working it out. He is listening to her, he is acting more appropriately and Morgan is getting better too. And... I WROTE FLUFF. FLUFF. Did you see that? FLUFF?!!
