Title: Changes Rating: PG Length: 262 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Tobe’s future is affected by the changes in Kel’s life
Tobe was brushing Peachblossom down when Lord Wyldon came into the stable. He rested his arms on the stall, leaning over to observe his work. “Has Lady Knight Keladry spoken to you today?”
Tobe nodded, frowning slightly. “She said she’s marryin’ you an’ movin’ to Cavall, my lord.”
“Have you given thought to what this means for you?”
His frown deepened. “The Wildmage says there’s always a place for me at the palace. I’m old enough I should be goin’ on my own way now. If you’re to be takin’ care of my lady from now on.”
“Cavall has some of the best stables in the realm,” Lord Wyldon said stiffly. “You would be an asset, I think, if you were to work there and help breed warhorses.”
Tobe continued grooming Peachblossom, trying to gauge whether this was charity on the part of Lord Wyldon. He remembered his kindness, years before on the day Haven fell, and the years after that when Tobe refused to be separated from his knight mistress. He looked up at the older man, narrowing his eyes. “Do you want me in your stables, or are you allowin’ me the comfort of being able to keep an eye on my lady to make sure she’s takin’ care of herself?”
“A little of both,” Lord Wyldon said, nodding. “And because she would be heartbroken if you and Peachblossom were separated.”
Peachblossom blew air cantankerously, as if trying to deny there would be any kind of loss. But Tobe knew better.
“Cavall could be a nice change,” he finally agreed.

Thanks... I realized that I forget to factor him in when he's perfect for the Cavall stables!
