Title: Matters of the Heart, 19
From Raoul to Maura: 1
Rating: PG
Word Count: 375
Pairing: Kel/Maura
Fight: 3/B
Summary: Raoul is forced to intervene in the correspondence. Series co-written with Rosie.
Lady Maura -
You’ll have to excuse the very late reply, as well as the sloppy handwriting. I wrote to the Swoop to explain why his letters were long in coming, but it wasn’t until he regained consciousness and was well enough to fret that he pointed out that he’s been maintaining a regular correspondence with you. You see, several weeks back there were a succession of four raids over the span of three days – rather a surprising shift of tactics, since we thought the Scanran military infrastructure was crumbling – and Alan took some severe blows in the process. He was concussed and unconscious, and his arm was broken in two places. After that, an infection set in, and… well, he hasn’t been at his best lately, to say the least. Combat has slowed down, and the healers have been fresh for a while, but he’s still regaining his strength and can’t yet quite master his ability to write. He’s narrating this letter to me, though I’m taking the liberty to write whatever I want. The perks of being in charge, you know.
Currently we’re working on left-handed swordplay. Coincidentally, this is something his mother had to do when she was in training – I’m hoping it will pay off similarly. (Though he’s pulling a face at the notion of being compared to her. You know how he is.)
He tells me that Kel is feeling restless at Dunlath and wants to join the fight. (He also tells me that he wasn’t supposed to share that information. Whoops!) Let me remind you that if Kel needs to leave, she will do so, but she won’t leave Dunlath unprotected, if that’s what her higher-ups feel is necessary. Talk to her, Maura. You know she’s a reasonable person – if you want her to stay, she’ll need to know why. There’s nothing a little communication won’t hurt.
Speaking of, I think I must end this letter soon. There’s a message from the king that needs to be read – and as much as I want to put it off, I have to taste my own medicine every once in a while. Send Kel my best, and reprimand Douglass for me. I’m sure he’s done something worth a tongue-lashing.
