XII. audio

[aslandish]

[ Months have passed since he last addressed the network, and though he himself is well, there are things that trouble him. Today, there is no joyous song for the morning, but rather a solemn address. ]

The worlds are ever-changing. Conflicts arise when choices are made.

Without temperance, there is much to be lost and little to be gained.

Guard yourselves, and be mindful in all things.

Amusing how people interpret this as you being averse to taking a stand.

[By amusing, he means irritating. For being a master of backtalk, Sherlock doesn't like it when others do it to Aslan.]

[voice, private]

[aslandish]

They are set on their course of action.

[ He doesn't take it personally (he never does), but it's disheartening regardless. ]

[voice, private]

[deductives]

Clearly. To be fair to them, it's only speeding up the inevitable.

[And he really wouldn't mind seeing Spencer suffer, even if he did outsmart the hateful lummox when it was his turn in a cage. That and Sherlock has been investigating those who volunteered people for the hunt since he's escaped.

But war can't be rushed, can it?]

[voice, private]

[aslandish]

[ No, it can't. Aslan would prefer things not come to that, but there are times that battles must be fought. ]

It may be so.

[ However - ]

This is not the way.

[voice, private]

[deductives]

Guns blazing and yelling, certainly not.

[If they wanted to act now, they could at least be covert. But rarely has anyone demonstrated that ability.]

But it's their idiotic mistake to make.

[voice, private]

[aslandish]

What must be shall be.

[ He will not stop them, though some part of him wishes he could. ]

Watch for them.

[Sherlock is quiet for a moment. He doesn't much like the idea of fate or predestination, but he didn't come here to argue. Not today, anyway. A request from the lion, however, took him off guard, so when he reclaims himself, Sherlock just snorts and replies lazily.]

Am I my brother's keeper?

[aslandish]

[ Fate and Predestination have little to do with it. He structured Narnia upon the precept of Free Will, established a framework by which the world would stand. He has never negated the ability to choose; he simply knows how things will end. ]

Are you not?

[ A question asked softly, without expectation. ]

[deductives]

[Sherlock frowns; he hates questions answered with questions.]

I can watch for my own. Anyone else won't be swayed by me anymore than by you.

[aslandish]

[ He's quiet a moment before he answers. ]

Do what you are able.

[ He has never asked for more than that. ]
