Title: Why Not?
Rating: G
Length: 353
Competitor: Dom
Round/Fight: 2/B
Summary: Dom can see that Kel is stressed.
Dom could tell she was stressed. It was all the pressure she put on herself, she took on everyone else’s problems and tried to solve them. When she wasn’t busy with that she was writing a report for Lord Wyldon, or going over supply lists for New Hope, or teaching the refugees to fight. She was also constantly practicing and perfecting her own skills, whether it be glaive, sword, archery, or jousting. She was always up at the crack of dawn, and one of the last in bed.
He could tell it was getting to her, the stress. She was getting worn out, and he knew she just had to have a bit of fun. He was worried that if she didn’t that she would start to forget why she did all this, become a knight. He didn’t want her to get so stressed that she forgot why being a knight made her happy in the first place. So that’s what brought him here, trying to convince her to take a break for a couple hours and go on a ride through the forest with him.
“I can’t right now Dom, maybe some other time. I’ve just got so much to do here...”
“It’ll all be here when we get back. It’s only a few hours Kel, none of this is so urgent it can’t be put off for a while.”
“If I put it off now I won’t be able to go over the infirmary supply lists later.”
“You won’t need to, Neal can do that. He’s the healer; he should be the one doing it anyways.”
“I’m not sure it’s a good Idea, I really shouldn’t.”
But he could tell that she was giving in, and he smiled. “Why not? Come on; let’s just get on our horses and go.”
She still looked hesitant, but less than before. He held out his hand, “Come on Kel. If you lose the moment you might lose a lot, so why not?”
She couldn’t help but think that maybe he wasn’t just talking about going for a ride anymore, so she took his hand.
