Title: Worrying Rating: G Prompt: Feelings and Emotions Category: 100 words Word count: 100 words Summary: Briar takes a moment to sit and think
Picking dirt from under a gardener’s fingernails, you might as well bail out the ocean. But he sat there, picking them anyways. Tris called it “worrying.” He supposed she was just saying, “I’m worried.” He didn’t know why exactly the girls were worried, ‘cause he’d done everything they’d said, hadn’t he? But mind healers ain’t miracle workers. Anyways, they were bothering about the wrong person. Just ‘cause she’s thorny and knows how to cure things, they think she’s okay. He scowled at the little garden in his hands, which was now more perfect than Rosethorn’s. That wasn’t right, not ever.

This is a lovely take on the prompt. I adore Briar's awe/affection/protectiveness toward Rosethorn, how he sees things in her most people don't, and that really comes through here.

Yay for posting drabbles! ;D I totally agree with Nicki, about Briar's feelings towards Rosethorn, and the level of their relationship that you expressed. Beautiful!
