yeah, I can see either to some extent, but if I am going to be honest with myself I think Edmund would be all, "That is wrong and I am a Proper Englishman and a Just King and so on," and Susan would pay off the ambassador's maids and flirt her way into Archenland's state secrets and order assassinations if need be.

Yeah, I mean, he definitely did some things that were Not On. But sometimes I feel like he shouldn't still be carrying it with him? I mean, on a meta level, not a character level--I have often been convinced in fic, and in canon there is his awareness of his actions--but I just think sometimes, my god, would I blame my brother for being dumb and mean when he was nine years old? And then I think, no, we would all let it go.

Yesssss, it's something I wonder about with them! I suppose especially because I am of so many minds on how much of her culture Aravis keeps and how much she assimilates.
