Title: Backfire (I) Rating: G Length: 152 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: Final Summary: Owen tries to persuade Kel.
-----
“Aren’t you lonely?”
Keladry blinked. “What?”
“Don’t you want a man?”
She stared at Owen, who suddenly felt awkward. “Owen, you know I’m much too busy for men,” she said, exasperated. “Between New Hope and knightly duties, I’d never have time.”
“I know, I know. I’m just, you know, looking out for you.”
“Well, I appreciate it,” she said, smiling. “But I’m fine, really.”
Heartened, Owen pressed, “Just think about it, okay? You may not need a man, but you should find one who makes you happy. Someone who cares for you and will wait for you to come back.”
“I’ll think about it,” she teased. “In fact, I have one in mind. You’ll find out soon, I think.”
He beamed at her. “I look forward to it. When you’re ready, just, you know...come find me.”
With that, he stuffed his hands in his belt and whistled as he walked away.

Aw I hope he connected the dots properly! My favourite line is, "Don't you want a man?" Made me think of those dating service commercials

Oh, I'm wary of his optimism, given the title. *worryworryworry*

I love all of Owen's little hints
