The Night in Narnia 4 - Chapter 4

Jokes and their consequences

"Good morning, Peter.", Orea quietly, as Peter still wakes up in Aura's paws.

"Good morning, Orea. What are you doing here?", Peter overslept.

"The same as you. I searched for a place and slept. Of course, after I've covered you, as you noice. Because unlike us humans have no coat and freeze easily."

Orea sits about two meters away from the two, facing him. Peter notices after Orea has pointed him to the blanket, again that he is still naked and gets a bit nervous and embarrassed.

"Oh thank you."

"All right, you're welcome. The little sleep still, so no hassle. Moreover, as it looks like, Aura does not want to leave you out in your sleep. The way she holds you tight.", Orea smirking.

"Could you accept. It's kind of nice, too.", Peter still lying.

"That makes me happy and above all Aura. She really likes you. I'll leave you both alone now. I want to move my paws a bit. Should I let you bring something to eat?"

"If you want, but you do not have to do that, we have staff for that."

"I know, but I'm getting close to the kitchen on the way out anyway, and that's no hassle for me. In addition, it gives me the opportunity to look something else."

"If so, then look around you."

"I do." Orea smiles as she turns and walks out the door.

Peter is still in the arms of Aura. She holds him strong, but surprisingly not too tight, in itself. Peter feels the warmth of her stomach on her back and her front paw on the stomach. He enjoys being so close to her. Too often she is gone, leaving him alone. Lonely and full of yearning for her and the children.

".... this is probably a growth phase ......", Peter remembers yesterday's words.

"Growth phase? Oh well, they are growing so fast, what's that going to be when they grow even faster. Which are then in no time greater as I do. Although, how tall are they actually getting?", Peter in thought.

".... you will need a lot of tolerance when it comes to that, because I know of you humans, it is not with you ......", again a thought fragment, which this time in connection with Ariane comes to mind.

"What will that be? Will Ariane do something bad, so I have to be tolerant? Above all, what will it be and why only she?", Further questions that are in his mind.

"Oh dear, there will probably be one or the other surprise coming up to me.", Peter in thought.

With the passing minutes and the pleasant warmth of Aura Peter becomes tired again and falls asleep again.

When Peter wakes up after some time he feels half asleep, wet movements on his face, as he is awakened by Ariane and Patrick with a wet lion kiss, over his face. When he opens his eyes he puts his hand over his face and says:

"Stop, you two. I'm awake."

The two stop, but look at him a little pouting. Peter looks at the two and says quietly while lifting his left arm:

"Come on, you two come."

Cuddle with dad. Since both are not long ask and go to him and Aura. Both nestle close to him and can be caressed.

"Since you are awake now, also from me a good morning, Peter.", Aura to her husband.

"Oh, good morning Aura. You are awake too?"

Aura lowers her head to Peter and licks him across the face. Then she grins mischievously.

"That should probably mean, yes.", Peter meets the wet cognition.

Peter is surrounded on all sides by lions. Aura behind him and his children before him. At the moment the most beautiful thing he could imagine. Aura and the two children he loves about everything, close to him. He enjoys every moment and every hair that clings to his body. So close to him, he can even feel Aura and the breathing of little ones. Every movement of Aura's stomach, while breathing, pushes him against his back. With the children he feels the movement on the arm and the breath on the hand and arm. He enjoys this for a few minutes until there is a knock at the door.

"Yes, who's there?", Peter frustrated while looking for the door.

"Good morning, your Mayest. The food is ready.", The servant from outside.

"That's right. Orea wanted to bring something for us." Peter so saying to himself.

After that Aura Teasingly to Peter:

"Then we'll let the servant come in. Otherwise we'll fall off the meat, or I'll have to make do with you for breakfast.", Then she licks him several times convincingly genial on the free right shoulder.

Peter gets goose bumps again and gets a bit nervous. The children notice Peter's nervousness and mild anxiety. Really appalled, the two little ones get up and lie down on Peter. Then Ariane to Aura:

"No mom! Do not eat dad! He's our dad!"

"Yes, exactly and we love him very much. You can not eat it.", Patrick afterward.

Aura is speechless about the unexpected behavior of the children. After a moment she says reassuringly to the two:

"Ariane, Patrick, that was just fun, that's all."

But the faces of the little ones are hardly relieved. Also Peter is surprised about the behavior of the children, since these Aura behave already known. However, he can understand it in part because Aura scared him the way she behaved. Aura is shocked by the faces her children throw at her. She sees a mixture of fear and horror.

She is at a loss and at the moment helplessly at the mercy of the situation. Slowly she realizes that she has exaggerated this time with the fun, even if it was obvious.

"I'm sorry Peter, it was not meant that way. I'm afraid I exaggerated it with the fun.", Aura after a moment rather meek and uncertain.

He looks at her calmed down and says, "All right, Apology accepted. We should get up slowly and let the servants come in with the food.", He looks at his two little lions and says, "Come on, get down from me, I need to get up."

The little ones look a bit nervous and anxious to him, but finally do what Daddy says. After he gets up, he strokes both of them briefly and puts on panties and pants before he calls in the servants. The door of the room opens and a few servants, with a cart with food for Peter and a container of meat for Aura, come in. While they bring the breakfast into the room Aura takes the two in the arm, but must notice that the two are really stiff and are not feeling very well. Aura is shocked a second time, but she does not let it show. She lets both of them go and gets up. Immediately the little ones run back to dad. As she walks down to the container with meat, Peter puts his plate and glass on the floor at the small, which closely follow him pressing as if they wanted him Protect. The servants are already gone when both begin to eat.

It's dead silence, apart from the food noise. For Peter, this is a completely new situation he has never had. He does not know what to say or do. He only realizes the fear of the little ones, which gives him to think. It does not take long're Aura has finished her breakfast and walks toward the door. When she arrived there she says sadly:

"Please take care of the little ones as long as I'm gone, I need some time."

"Of course I do. That's self-evident."

Hardly said, she is already gone through the door and Peter with the two alone, which then relax quite quickly. Peter is unsure what to do. He would like to go after her, but he does not want to leave the little ones alone and do not worry. He also knows that it is better for her to leave her time when she needs it, so he stays with the little ones. The walk through the castle is difficult for Aura. Like lead, her limbs feel as she is on her way out. When Aura is away for a while, the little ones become active and want to play. Peter does not say no, because after the horror they can use some distraction.

In the course of the morning there is still some official work, so the two can accompany Peter in the throne room. Peter himself enjoys it a bit inwardly, as it is as bad for the little, if exciting, as the horror of Aura. Because they have to behave here and sit still, that's how he knows, sometimes very difficult for the two. Ariane, in particular, finds it difficult to part with Papa and settles on the throne next to him. The most guests do not know who they have there except the king in front of them and Peter also leaves it at that. The official work is done until lunch for now. Peter goes with the little ones into the hall where they eat together. Lucy with Novid and Orea are already there and just started eating. Patrick immediately runs to Novid, who blocks him off a bit and shows the time of eating. He manages to spoil him the mood by asking him a few questions and showing interest. Ariane, on the other hand, is more relaxed but visibly nervous. She does not deviate from Peter's side, even as he begins to eat. Orea hears what Patrick says and find out Aura has something to do with it. After eating, she goes to Peter and talks to him to find out what's going on. Meanwhile, Patrick and Novid are already making the castle unsafe.

A good hour has passed since lunch. Orea approaches Aura, which lies depressed under the tree, where Novid took care of the little ones when they fell asleep. Lying on her stomach she stares in front of her. A few steps later, Orea puts something obliquely to Aura, next to her.

"Do you remember what I've always told you?", Orea somewhat admonishing.

Aura's head tilts down in silence.

"Of course you know, I've said it often enough. But I would not have expected that you can make it with your own children, to make them afraid.", Orea thoughtful.

"I do not get it. The little ones know me. They know it's just fun.", Aura calm but confused.

"Was that it? Or was it, on the border for fun?"

"I may have overdone it a bit, but they know me. They must know it's just played."

"Oh, sister. Sister.", Orea disbelieving.

Aura looks up and to her. Then she to Orea: "What does that mean? Sister. Do you think I'm a jerk?", Aura reproachful.

"Yes, that's exactly what you are, because you forget someone in your thinking. You only see you and the children."

Aura looks questioningly at Orea and finally asks uncertainly: "Are you talking about Peter?"

"Yes, exactly him. Your little ones know you, that's right. Aura, you realize that they did not react to your game this morning, but to Peter's nervousness and fear? Aura, even if he knows you and finds this behavior even exciting, he is a human and at your mercy delivered. What do you expect what happens when you pull off such a convincing game?"

Aura looks ahead, into the distance and answers calmly: "He takes it seriously. He takes it so seriously, as I took the warning from him, because of Novid, so unbelievable it sounded, and then reproached him."

"Yes exactly. Aura, he trusts you, but he's inferior to you and you know how you are. At extremes, nature wins with him and thus fear. Would you be together all the time, then that would be different, in case he would not even pay attention to that at some point. But because of your restlessness, he is often separated from you, because he can not get accustom to it, just like the little ones.", Orea quietly admonishing.

Aura is silent for a while thoughtfully and then asks almost anxiously: "Will the two ever forgive me?"

"That's up to you."

Aura nods her eyes closed, slightly with her head, as if she had feared the answer.

"Do you know what they are doing right now?", Aura curious as she looks at Orea.

"I've heard something that he first wanted to teach them to sit."

"True, the little ones want to learn how to walk.", Aura somewhat disbelieving, while she looks to her right front paw and then on: "Strange, what is different and possible through Peter as a father."

Orea also looks at Auras paw and then out at the horizon, finally she says:

"Yes, true. I never expected you to become a mother of a new species in Narnia, but it is beautiful. But you know what's up to you in the future, because Peter is human."

Aura also looks at the horizon and asks, "You mean Ariane?"

"Yes."

"I know, but that still has some time. But the dad instinct is surprisingly strong in her and that in her young age."

"Oh yeah. She has what I heard, even rehearsed ever how it is to be queen by simply sat down with Peter on the throne, to be close in. If she has such a behavior?", Orea a little amused.

Aura has to laugh a little when she hears that. Both are still there for a while and talk, also about things which Peter will learn, if not voluntarily

About a day later, in the early afternoon.

Orea goes to Peter, who is currently in one of the corridors of the castle.

"Peter, are you waiting for a short time?"

Peter stops and looks at Orea and asks, "What is it?"

Orea sits about seven feet away and answers curiously:

"I wanted to ask how things are with Aura and the little one, since I have not seen them since yesterday."

"I think so well, she has spent the time with them and me too. She gave the two a real scare, but I think the little ones get over it quickly. Because as you see, Aura has not eaten me yet.", Peter confident and a little joking.

Orea laughs something and answers: "Yes you are still alive. I think the Aura will learn from what happened, with what result we will see." "Let us surprise ourselves. It's enough for me if she lets me live and the little one does not scare again."

"Understand. Oh Peter, I still have a concern. Could you give me someone who explains to me the life of the court and the cities? So right, the whole process and how it all works.", Orea curious.

"Of course I can, but it amazes me something that interests you."

"Peter, I said before, I'm not Aura. I am sure courtesy rules and all this already known. But I do not know that around it. We lions hunt what we need and therefore do not know your way of life. It's also time to learn that. Because your two children also need to be prepared for it. As long as Aura takes care of your little ones I can deal with it and pass on the knowledge."

"If you want. What do you think of Novid? He knows both sides and would be ideal. If he can not, he will surely know someone who can do it."

"Mmm, Novid.", Orea thoughtful and finally "Interesting proposal. True, as a former servant he knows both sides."

"If you want, just ask him. I can not command him anyway, since he is my equal. But since he likes the little ones too and it will help them, he would certainly help."

"Okay, then I'll ask him when I see him next time."

"If you want, just go to Lucy's room now, she'll be glad to let him go for a few hours sometimes." Peter was a little amused.

Orea smirks something and then says something amused: "The little one can be just as much a burdock as Aura yesterday morning?"

Peter laughs a little and responds amused: "Yes, something like that."

Orea gets up and says something amused: "Well, then I'll go to him and try to save your little sister from him."

Peter watches her for a moment in amusement and then continues on his way.

Orea continues the few corridors to Lucy's apartment and taps carefully. It only takes a moment until she hears steps approaching the door and finally opens it.

"Oh hello. Orea?", Lucy surprised and uncertain.

"Exactly.", Orea smiles, then she continues: "Tell Lucy, would you mind if I lend your husband a while? He should show me a little bit of life here if he does."

"If he wants, no problem. I'm glad if he comes out something. As nice as it is to be petted by him, it can also be a bit exhausting. Little moment I call him."

Lucy turns away from the door and calls for him. It only takes a few seconds for Orea to hear a door inside the apartment and soft paw and claw pawls on the floor, hurrying toward the door. Just arrived at the door Novid Orea looks and says politely:

"Hello, Lady Orea.", Then he turns his head up to Lucy and asks: "What is Lucy?"

"Lady Orea asks if you would show her a little bit of life here."

Novid looks at Orea and says with some surprise: "Sure, I can do it, but I'm surprised that they are interested, because they usually live away from civilization."

"That's true, but the situation is different now and that's a bit unfavorable. I want to learn how it is here so that I can prepare Ariane and Patrick for it."

"Ah understand, sounds logical and good. When should it start?"

"If you have nothing better to do, we can start right away."

Novid looks up at Lucy, who says: "Do not look at me. Nothing at the moment. If you want, just go ahead."

He looks up at Orea and answers as he walks up to her: "Since Lucy does not need me right now, come on."

Orea turns towards the corridor and says goodbye to Lucy. Looking back, Lucy makes another gesture that makes her smile. To Novid's surprise, Orea, as they are among ordinary people, is more interested in social life. He explains that as best he can and where she gets more information. Orea is very curious and surprised at how many different things and labor are needed to produce the everyday objects and food that humans consume. Orea realizes that this will be only one of many times where Novid will stand by her as a teacher, there is just too much she has to learn.
