"I'm here," she says, and looks up from her hands in Caspian's and past his shoulder to Cuthbert. "I'm here. It weren't like this for ye all those years, was it?"
She remembers Mal telling her about the memories of his friend David--
(dead friends haunt old soldiers)
--and she blinks back sudden weary tears, even as 'Bert tells her, "Not like this, nay."
