Title: Things You Suspect Rating: G Length: 226 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: Final Summary: Margarry is starting to get a little jealous…
“You spend too much time in Corus and Cavall,” Margarry tells him one evening, as she sews by the firelight. “Your children will grow up not knowing you.”
“My children will grow up in a safe nation; most of my time is spent in Corus is in meetings and getting new assignments.”
“And Cavall?” her expression is as smooth and soft as ever, but Owen can hear the bite in her tone.
“She’s alone, Margarry.”
“She has her own family to help her.”
“I meant Renya, not Kel. She doesn’t have any siblings, she doesn’t have a father.”
“She has a father,” his wife snaps.
“She’s never had a father that she’s known,” he corrects. “She’s four years old, and all she knows is her mother and the servants. I do what I can.”
“Doesn’t she have cousins and aunts and uncles?”
“Most of them are in the Yamani Islands.” He sighs and rests his hand over Margarry’s knee. “Please don’t make me feel bad for doing what’s right.”
She gazes at him, searching for something in his expression. “You’re right, Owen, I shouldn’t be giving you a hard time. I guess I just miss you when you’re gone, and I get a little jealous that you’re with Keladry instead of me.” Placing her hand over his, she squeezes his gently and smiles hesitantly at him.

“Please don’t make me feel bad for doing what’s right.” ! Owen, no, don't be like that!! Lovely fic, though. Lovely series.

Oh, Owen, you lie. But Kel Renya is very lonely and needs you, so I guess we can forgive you! Very pretty.

If it helps, I don't think at this point in the timeline that Owen is aware of how much he's lying. ^_^;; It doesn't absolve him, mind you...
