[She hears someone say her name, and she looks up and sees a party of Narnians coming down the beach; Edmund, Susan, and Radabash are all there as well. She comes out of the water, and looks puzzled, as Edmund comes close. Are you mad? he asks, and Lucy starts a fight, tight and close to Edmund, about how she was fine, of course she was. Susan is pulling in, and Lucy is being scolded now, as though she's a child, and she is not.
We do not know him, Susan says, and Lucy argues that she is fine, and she can feel herself losing George's attention, she can sense his fear, and she hates it as they go back.
Suddenly she is terribly afraid for him.
The party ends with everyone coming back up to the castle, with the last dances early in the morning, with Edmund practically sitting on top of Lucy to make sure she behaves, and Lucy distracted and unhappy about the entire affair.
It is after, after her maid helps her out of the dress and after everyone is asleep, Lucy goes to try and find where George might be, a minotaur with her. He's there outside of Radabash's apartments.]
