Title: Trickster's Pawn 26 Rating: PG Length: 194 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 4 (Final!) Summary: PG, 194 words. Kel realizes what it means.
“After the initial shock,” Owen said, “it turns out he wasn't that surprised.”
“It's not the same, at all,” Kel said, “but my parents were like that about me wanting to be a knight.” She shrugged. “I think sometimes they understand us better than we expect, you know?”
“I guess.” They looked at each other, strangely awkward for a moment, until Kel opened her arms. Owen was in them in a second, resting his head on her shoulder as they held each other.
“I'm proud of you,” she said, smoothing his hair. “You're so brave, Owen. You'll be so much happier this way.”
“What about you?” he asked, stepping back far enough to look at her. “We had three years... your time as a squire, my time until the wedding. Now the wedding's off, but you'll still be a knight.”
Kel wanted to look away, but she couldn't. Not from Owen. She would look him in eye until the day she died – he deserved that, if anyone did. “And you'll be a rider.” Kel sighed. “We have to talk about it.”
