Susan does not like confrontation, but she has a very strong sense of responsibility -- which I think comes partly from her place in the family hierarchy and partly from her base personality -- so of course she continued through despite her reluctance. I also liked making her distaste for war and longing for her mother something that could be both a weakness and a strength.
I want to write more about the mer-folk now, when I'd never really thought about them before receiving your prompt, so thank you for that! One thing I love about this exchange is the way every year it opens my mind to so many new possibilities inherent in the Narnian universe.
