Title: Heroes Rating: G Word Count: 131 words Pairing: Neal/Owen Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Tortall needs heroes.
“Champion.”
Even as Neal speaks the words, they sound hollow.
Owen beams. “Neal, that is fantastic.” He reaches over and claps Neal on the back.
“I don’t deserve it,” he says seriously. “I know why Roald asked, and I still turned him down the first few times.” He winces at the memory. “He wore me down.”
“He was right to ask you,” Owen replies, like it is the most obvious thing in the world, “the kingdom needs you.”
“The kingdom needs heroes,” Neal retorts, “Heroes who don’t do stupid things, and let their friends die.”
Owen frowns, and Neal can see that he realises what this is about. “The kingdom needs heroes, just the same,” he says, heavily. “Whether or not you like it, you’re all we’ve got at the moment.”
