Title: Superbia Rating: PG-13 Length: 136 words Competitor: Baird Round/Fight: 1/D Summary: Pride. He has several gifts to be proud of; one is his power with words.
He’s content with the fact that she is feeling better, but he takes more pleasure in the fact that he made her pain go away. Healing is something that comes naturally to him, though; he’s never met someone who could do it better, in fact. He was, after all, the youngest Chief Healer to ever serve in the palace.
So he gives himself new challenges. He’s satisfied with the knowledge that, while others make her laugh more, there’s something unique about the smiles she sends him when he amuses her. He’s rewarded with her thanks when he shows her how well he can manage Neal, compared to the rest of the world. But his crowning achievement, in regard to Keladry of Mindelan, is when he makes her entire body quiver with pleasure without even touching her.

Teasing, confident Baird rather makes my heart skip

I love that last line. And that he sees her as a challenge.

Oops. I just realised that these are actually based on the seven sins. Hee hee. Embarrassed! But does this mean that, at the end of the seven, Baird will lose because they are deadly? Hmm. Anyway - I really do enjoy reading him like this. Very emoti-centred. And lovely writing as always

And by then he'll be too worn out to continue to the next round.
