It isn’t easy to surprise Eustace Scrubb. After all, he’d met a talking mouse and survived the meeting. He also turned into a dragon once upon a time, and yes, he was changed back since then, but he’d learnt to treat reality with certain dose of skepticism.
Walking through the door of the bookstore isn’t unexpected and unusual for him, but ending up in a dark and snowy forest is a completely different matter. Especially that the forest doesn’t ‘feel’ familiar.
Narnia is running through his veins because he has visited that world frequently enough to know when he crosses the line between realities. This place is NOT Narnia.
That alone is reason to worry, because he was actually expecting to end up there, considering the visitor the friends of Narnia had a few days ago. Obviously, it’s not happening. On the other hand, knowing that he would get the answers eventually, he keeps walking in the darkness. A few minutes later, he spots dim light from between the trees. He approaches slowly, but he hardly has any choice if he wants to know what is happening.
There is a man sitting by fire, gazing at him with a frown.
“Good... evening?” Eustace says, looking around. They appear to be alone.
“And who are you, Men’s child?” the man asks, but obviously isn’t surprised to see him.
Men’s child?
“Eustace... I’m Eustace Scrubb. What... who are you?” Eustace takes a step closer. The question is valid, for no human could have such bright and glowing hair.
The stranger gets up. “I’m Glorfindel, Lord of the House of the Golden Flower of Gondolin. Are you the one who is supposed to help me kill the dragon and save the world?”
Eustace smiles. Well, there is a reason why he is called Eustace the Un-Dragoned!

People can eat meals from brambles (thorns shall grow for thee!) if they are prepared to get diarrhaea from the brambleberries.

I had to reread my statement. By "Lord of the earth" I just meant earth as opposed to Narnia, not anything theological like Satan's titles of prince of the powers of the air or god of this world.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, you mean?
Lord of Earth sounds like sth else.
"I've found myself wondering lately whether Narnia would be subject to the curse of Adam?"
Imported sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, yes - but the land and talking animals no.
"On the other hand Frank himself was still under the curse, and Aslan told him specifically that he was going to have to do farming"
Yes, but how many other creatures would need farm products?
"so was he, like, the worst farmer in the whole country?"
Naiads and Dryads presumable did without farming. He had no competition.
