He hadn't, in truth, expected to ever see her again. He's in his study, bent over a map of the Eastern Isles when there's a knock on the door and a guard enters, barely having chance to open his mouth before she's behind him, before Caspian sees her. He blinks.

"Susan?"

She curtseys to him, and there's a wrongness to it - if anything, they're equals. In respect of that, he sketches a bow to her. He knows her well enough to read the disquiet in her eyes and, with a gesture, dismisses the guard that brought her.

"Neither do I," he says, gently, coming around the desk, holding out his hand to her. "But Aslan will, and you shouldn't fear it. You're safe. Narnia remains a home to you, Susan. I promise."

The pressure on his fingers awakens something at once forgotten and all too well remembered, and it's a moment before he can gather himself enough to reply to her. When she takes her hand back, he feels an inexpressable sense of loss.

"We do say that, when the Lion moves, he does it in mysterious ways," says Caspian, the corner of his mouth ticking in a smile. "If you are here, it is because Aslan wills it, even if we can't quite see the reason why." He tilts his head, still smiling. "I am glad to see you, though, Susan."
