Title: Invidia Rating: PG Length: 104 words Competitor: Baird Round/Fight: 1/D Summary: Envy. It’s hard not to envy Alanna, when she has the very thing he loses, over the course of a long day.
He’s completely worn out when Keladry’s brought into the infirmary, slumped over Alanna’s shoulders. She’s carried to a cot, and Baird rushes over to help. But he’s tired; his head aches from all the healing he’s done over the afternoon.
The other lady knight pushes him aside, reminding him that she’s been in battle all day, and her magic reserves are fresh. Plus, Kel’s wounds are minor compared to the nearly-severed limbs he’s reattached over the last three days of battle. So Alanna does the healing, and he watches, enviously wishing he could be helping this young knight who’s become surprisingly important to him.

Jealous!Baird is to die for. He's exhausted, about to just keel over, and he *still* wants to heal Kel.

Thanks, you guys. I'm fascinated by the Baird-Alanna dynamic, and jealousy is always pretty in a man, when it's not taken too far.

Love the title - it seems so fitting I actually like this side of Baird, and I like how he's so quiet about it all, too. None of this boiling-over type jealousy!

I love his quiet jealousy, and how he's totally run down, but still wants to extend himself, because it's her. Lovely fic.
