Title: On Women and Tilting Rating: G Summary: Something has to drive a man to perfection. Happy Wyldon Winter!
Wyldon once believed that he knew everything about women. He was the father of four girls, after all, and had a communicative and comfortable relationship with his wife. But there were times – usually toward the end of the month – when he realized that he knew nothing.
It would begin with headaches and irritation, Cathrea sulking in her bed all day complaining of aches. Sunarine would lash out at everyone who crossed her, and Margarry was the one most often willing to take the bait and turn a bit of sniping into a full-blown argument.
“Make them stop,” Vivenne would moan from the sofa, where she curled up with a mug of willow-bark tea in her hands. She didn’t have the energy to deal with her teenage girls.
And Wyldon certainly didn’t have the fortitude to handle this one week each month, when all five women in his life were transformed into a different kind of creature. So, as he had done for years with his mother and sister, instead of helping his wife and daughters, he escaped. He ran away from Eiralys and her moodiness, from Sunarine’s cravings for sweets, from Vivenne’s withdrawal, from Margarry’s fatigue, and from Cathrea’s lack of focus.
He didn’t know women at all, when they volleyed emotionally and suffered the pain of the Goddess. So he hid himself away for a week, working on his tilting instead. It was one of the factors that had made him the best jouster in the land, and helped him continue his tournament dominance.

LOL! Cute ficlet. What happens if he runs away to the tilting field, goes up against Kel, and finds her unusually moody as well?
