Narnia Drabble for a challenge

[gmtaslash]

Title: Before The Race
Author: Trojie
Fandom: Narnia
Rating: PG
Summary: Four challenges were given;
1. Races
2. Thoroughbred
3. Heart
4. Drunk by teatime
I've tried to fulfil them all. Edmund/Caspian, nothing graphic.
Thanks to Bridget, who betaed as usual.



They may be Talking Horses, but they still like the delicious scratch of the body brush, and so Edmund finds himself in the courtyard before the race, vigorously applying it and trying hard to forget the terms of the very private bet he and Caspian made, very drunkenly, before teatime the night before.

'And if I win?'
'Yes?'
'I claim ... your heart.'

He's already claimed Edmund's body, to their mutual satisfaction. Caspian, pure, thoroughbred Telmarine and yet Narnian through and through ... surely he already has what he wants?

Why the bet?

Why must he ask for something Edmund isn't sure he can give?
