Title: Matters of the Heart, 38 From Alan to Maura: 18 Rating: G Word Count: 207 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan brings news he’s waited forever to hear. Series co-written with Rosie.
Maura,
Uncle Raoul tells me that you’ve been incredibly sick, and that I shouldn’t pester you with letters about how much I miss and adore you and “nonsense for sweethearts”. He did, however, tell me that there’s nothing to worry about. So I won’t go on about all that I usually do, and I’ll make this a quick note.
We’ve been relieved. That is, to say, Raoul and I taking the company to a fort nearer to the City of the Gods. My first thought upon the news was that our letters will reach each other much more quickly. But uncle says he wants to stop in at Dunlath – something about teaching his first squire a lesson in etiquette. Kel is to remain here, in charge of the transition from war-time fort to peacetime border patrol outpost, now that the peace treaty negotiations have progressed into something potentially long-lasting. This means she will be here for another several months. On the bright side, with only a few skirmishes with renegade clans of Scanrans, there’s little threat and no need for you to have knights traipsing around Dunlath.
Unless you want us there – be it to teach Douglass manners or stroll through the orchard, I mean.
Yours, Alan.
