So many here tell of their closeness to their siblings, to the great joy that their siblings bring them. I could not agree more with such sentiment, for the richness that my own bring me has always far outweighed any great burden they've put on me (and some have put burden upon me indeed!).

But, in that great sentiment, I must say that I have put off announcing my own brother has indeed left, and so any friend he may have had here, I ask you make yourself known to me. My brother is Edmund Pevensie, and I should like to thank you, and ask you be my friend too.

And, if you did not know him, I would say, then meet me for my own sake. I am long in introducing myself, and I feel quite badly for the delay. I am Lucy Pevensie, and most grateful to make your acquaintance.

Very nice to meet you, Lucy. And I'm sorry about your brother going back in.

Thank you.

Did you know him?

I don't. But I have a lot of people who haven't woken up yet. So I can certainly sympathize.

What is your name?

Sanderson. Sanderson Hawkins. Generally, I go by Sand.

My pleasure to meet you, Sand.

If that is not too familiar.

Not at all. After all, I called you Lucy to start. I'm ridiculous, but not quite that ridiculous.

What is it that you do? What manner of world are you from?

I used to do a little of everything: detective work, forensics, and I ran a museum. That was back on my world, though. Which I'm not really sure how to describe.

Here, though: until we all evacuated, I was at the Simwe Institute.

Oh, I do not understand even half of that, sir, so I think our worlds are quite different.

I worked to find and stop criminals, and my mentor left me in charge of his collection of historical artifacts. I made a gallery of them for others to enjoy as well.

That a little clearer?

Yes! Much better. I do apologize, sir, if you must answer those questions so often.

Not exactly. And you don't have to apologize.

I know what it's like to not really understand everything about the world around you. I spent a long time... asleep at one point and waking up was a trip.

Here?

In this world?

Back where I'm from. I was in an accident and I didn't wake up for a while.

Oh!

But you are better now?

I got better, yes.

[ Is he better now? He tries not to think too hard on that question. ]

I am glad, then.

What about you? What do you do where you come from?

...I'm a queen.

That's nice. Do you enjoy the work?

I'm assuming there's work to it.

[ ...his life experience gives him a respect for all manner of life experience, but doesn't leave much room for shock or confusion or even doubting people. ]

Yes, oh, there is a great deal of work. Often listening to those in my charge, and improving their lot as much as we are able.

Sounds a little like some of the work I used to do as chairman of an organization back in my world.

What was your kingdom, or I guess queendom like?

Kingdom, sir. There are four rulers, all my siblings.

It is a most wonderful place. Beautiful, and wild, and the people there are free. I love it so.

It sounds like a pretty wonderful place.

Does it have a name?
