Title: What is Owed Rating: G Length: 239 Character: Maura Summary: Maura finally gets a chance to meet with Kel after the Scanran War.
“I’ve heard a lot of good things about you since we last saw one another, Lady Knight Keladry.” Lady Maura was less imposing than she had been when I was a page; she didn’t have her entourage of wolves and her ogre-companion. This time she traveled solely with Sir Douglass, who had once been her knight protector.
“I’m flattered,” I replied, unable to hide a small smile.
Maura smiled brightly. “From everything I’ve heard, you earned the praise.” She took my hand and squeezed it gently. “Is it true that you stopped the killing devices?”
I wasn’t accustomed to people asking this; those in the know didn’t ask. Those show didn’t know believed the rumors that were spread about Tortallan mages putting a stop to things. “Where did you hear your rumors?”
“Friends. Daine. Lord Wyldon.”
“They spoke truthfully.”
“I thank you for your work,” Maura said warmly. “Those killing devices made it perilously close to Dunlath. How can Tortall properly repay the debt it owes you?”
I blushed at her praise. In all honesty, nothing was owed to me. The crown had paid its debt to the survivors at New Hope, and that was enough to satisfy me. But Maura’s serious brown eyes intrigued me, and made me wonder if there wasn’t perhaps something I could ask of her. “Perhaps, Lady Maura, if you would spend more time with me? That would be more than enough for me.”
