Title: Trickster's Pawn 9
Rating: PG
Length: 230 words
Competitor: Owen
Round/Fight: 4 (Final!)
Summary: 230 words. Kel talks to Wen's cousin, Iden.
“I've spent some time with your cousin a few times, lately,” Kel said casually.
Snow had begun to fall, so for the most part, weapons work had been moved indoors. In one of the practice courts, Kel and Iden had been sparring with staves. They were taking a breather, between bouts.
“Who, Warric?” Iden asked, eyes on the practice staff he was smoothing.
“Your other cousin.” Kel kept the irritation out of her voice – she was sure Iden knew exactly what was going on.
“You mean Wendy. I thought you two would get along.” He glanced up at Kel with a teasing grin that reminded her, a little, of Wen. “You have a lot in common.”
“We get along well enough,” Kel said forcing her voice to remain steady, “but we don't have that much in common.”
“No? You're both big, solid girls who aren't much for flirting and pretty things...”
“I like pretty things! I just happen to like using weapons, too.” She hesitated, wondering how much Iden actually knew and how much he only suspected. “And I'm happy being a girl, as long as I get to be a knight, too. Wen is just the opposite.”
This time Iden really looked at her. “I know. But none of can think of a thing to do about it.”

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
