They leave Telmar and when they cross back to Narnia, the moment it happens, Lucy brightens, and even her horse gets more energy. The trees wake up as they cross, advancing the cry - the Queen returned, the Queen returned.
They almost don't stop until they get to Cair Paravel, and Lucy stops them just before they get there. She can see the flag that signifies that all the monarchs are in attendance is down. She looks over at George, and she reaches for his hand. She will not be alone. She refuses to be alone.
When they get in, she's immediately pulled into a meeting with all of her siblings, and she drags George along, and it gets -
- rough.
Lucy will absolutely hold her own, even as Edmund and Susan yell at her, even as she argues, and refuses to apologize, and then she says she's married and there's silence, and Peter snaps at her. It's family bickering, and Lucy could have withstood almost anything, but Peter yells, and she starts to cry, and she fights them even through all of that.
When they leave, after the fights, hours later, Lucy is drained, and she thinks it's over but then Edmund pulls George back, and Lucy tries to find energy for another fight when Susan comes and takes her.
It's hours later when they finally meet again, and Lucy is so tired.]
George?
[She sits up from her chair when she hears someone come into her apartments. She's changed outfits, bathed, and she looks smaller, for a sad, tiny moment.]
