Narnia drabble: Overpowering Weakness [Eustace, Jill, Puddleglum, general]
Title: Overpowering Weakness
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Narnia
Characters: Eustace, Jill, Puddleglum
Rating: general
Summary: A moment as they travel beyond Ettinsmoor.
Note: For tekalynn, who asked for Narnia with anyone, swordplay.
Every night after they made camp, Puddleglum made Jill practise her shooting and Eustace his swordplay.
"Of course, if enemies come like as not they'll shoot from behind," he said in his usual gloomy tones, "but it won't hurt you to drill a bit. Keep that elbow out, Jill."
Eustace ran through a series of exercises meant to limber him up, as well, while Jill recited the Signs that Aslan had given her. When he heard those Eustace always gritted his teeth and tried harder; they reminded him of seeing Caspian, and made him want to hit something in protest.
