Marian's lips touch his forehead, and the world pauses.
Ceases previously ceaseless spinning, sends the universe whirling around it, instead, in a backwards spiral that pulls at the center of him like the moon tugging the tide.
A breath is held, and released with a low, dull break of sound that hits the air around them like dragonfire, bursting into a blossom of rainbow light, rapidly expanding and shining brilliant and clear, racing ahead of a strong, sudden wind.
Clearing the air into the scent of seawater, and deep woods. Of lilies, and clean grass.
And leaving Caspian, dazed, kneeling in a patch of grass with the sun warm on his bare back, Marian's lips warm on his forehead, and a headache threatening to shatter his skull from the inside out, starting with these blasted hammers thumping at his temples.
