Title: Ache Rating: G Length: 150 Competitor: Baird Round/Fight: 1/D Summary: Kel has an ache only he can heal. - - - It’s the small things that matter. He’s a healer, and his tenderness extends from the smallest child to the most grizzled soldier. He treats them all like people; something she had begun to think she was alone in. He listens to them, he cares for them, he carries their burdens. He gives, and gives, and gives, and asks them for nothing in return. She thinks it's a wonder he isn’t drained dry. She has to resist the urge to ask who cares for him. The breath catches in her throat as she watches him work. For a moment, she can’t help but wish that his slow, gentle hands were on her, not the injured refugee in front of them. She watches him, torn between longing and despair. Baird sees the expression on her face and, mistaking it for concern, smiles; a beautiful, genuine thing that reaches right up to his bright eyes and makes the skin around them crinkle. “You’ll make my son very happy, Keladry.”

Oh wow! I love this, if only because Baird can't read minds.
