Title: Trickster's Pawn 13 Rating: PG Length: 200 words Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 4 (Final!) Summary: PG, 200 words. Kel comes home.
Autumn brought Third Company back to Corus. Kel was still getting settled in her quarters, tripping over dog and sparrows every other moment, when a young man appeared in the half-open doorway.
“Can I help you?” she asked, barely looking up from her unpacking. The visitor was probably her own age, his skin tan from outdoor work, hair pulled back from his face.
“Kel?” he asked, in a voice she knew extremely well.
The slate she was holding slid from her hands, cracking in two when it hit the floor. “Wen!”
Then she was in his arms, kissing hello with familiar enthusiasm. “Let me look at you,” Kel said, when they stopped to breathe. “I didn't recognize you. What have you been up to?”
“I joined the Riders,” Wen said, with a grin. “And I wrote to my father.”
He said the last with high seriousness. Kel cupped his cheek. “Wen, did you..?”
“I didn't tell him,” he said. “Not yet. But I asked him to come to Corus. Just a couple of weeks ago. I told him I joined the Riders. And I told him I had some other news.”
