My four year old wanders in right after I read about Jalur meeting Aslan: "Mommy, why are you crying?"
Those were awesome. The 'splinters' had me snickering, so did Edmund and Leszi -- brilliant. Susan and Tebbitt has some nice depth to it -- Susan actually reminds me a bit of Mara here, very much 'we are going to do this right and look awesome while doing it'. Peter and Morgan also had some nice layers to it -- we've seen before how uncomfortable Morgan is around Peter, and this snippet makes me sympathize with both of them; Peter just wants her to be comfortable but he can't, and Morgan looks at Peter and sees all the things she can't do. He's such a big brother in this scene, blessing the day she met Edmund. And I love her blunt honesty.
But the Jalur and Cub Edmund was heartbreaking in such a good way. Aslan's kisses to little Edmund ... the Cub's questioning and contemplation of his mother's relationship with Aslan ... and Jalur's walking away with his tail up, no longer cold. Sniff.
'E'
