Narnia drabble: Alone Among Many [Eustace, general]
Title: Alone Among Many
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Narnia
Character: Eustace
Rating: general
Summary: It's not a good day for Eustace.
Note: For emiime, who wanted Eustace, "saltwater."


Eustace lost at chess to Lucy that afternoon. Reepicheep disarmed him not once, but four times while teaching him a new manoeuvre. Dinner had been no worse than usual, but Eustace was growing very tired of fish.

All of which would have mattered little, now that he felt as if he belonged here.

Except.

He had gone up to the poop deck in the twilight, and there seen Edmund and Caspian, standing close together.

Now he leant over the forward rail, and did not know if the salt water that stung his eyes was from the sea spray or not.
