Thank you for reading and commenting! :) Yes, it's a young Peter, less than two years after the arrival in Narnia - so, yes, still with a lot to learn. The "dull" aspect was partly my trying to meet the terms mentioned in the original discussion (for which, many thanks! See where your talk of poor Peter needing to be shaken up has led! :D ) of the difficulties of writing a character defined mostly by simple goodness, and not by any other gifts. So this was a fumbling towards that idea. It didn't of course get to where I'd want it to go - but that would be for a full-blown story, not a talk-heavy sketch.
And speaking of full-blown stories... where's that shaking up you talked about? :)
