Lucy: This is our last time here, isn't it?
Aslan: Yes. You have grown up, my dear one.
Lucy: Will you visit us in our world?
Aslan: I shall be watching you always.
Lucy: How?
Aslan: In your world, I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason you were brought to Narnia. That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
Lucy: Will we meet again?
Aslan: Yes, dear one. One day.

WHY SUCH CONVERSIONS?
It is a message in viva voce and in glyph.
The Aztecs were a culture of the image and relied upon memory and images to pass on their knowledge.
The two-dimensional gold designs over her tunic don’t follow the folds of the tunic and resemble glyphs in old Indian codices.

Dear One Direction:
Dear 1D: Tonight let’s get some… WHAT? What is it that you want to get? What kind of pics don’t need to leave your phone, or memories that you’re going to make tonight? HMM?
