Title: Something in Common: Sex Rating: PG-13 Length: 270 words Competitor: Raoul Round/Fight: 2/A Summary: Raoul's point of view on Kel and Buri.
“Crone's teats!” Buri swore, from behind the privy door. “Kel! Are there any pads in here?”
“In that basket, under the clothes rack.” Kel sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the bed.
“Wait, where are you...?” I began.
She made a shushing motion with her hands, and pulled on a dressing gown before crossing the room to the hearth.
From the privy, I could only hear the occasional grumble, and noises of Buri moving around.
Then she appeared in the doorway, still grumbling. “As if every four weeks wasn't enough – it's barely been three and a half!”
Kel looked up, apologetic for some reason. “And you haven't even had time to unpack yet. It must be because mine started day-before-yesterday.”
Buri glared at her.
“Here, sit down.” Kel put an arm around Buri, leading her to a chair beside the hearth. “The first day's always worst for you, isn't it? I'm making some tea.”
As I watched, Buri's expression softened completely. “Thanks,” she said, with genuine affection. “I know it's not your fault.”
Kel shrugged, moving behind the chair to rub Buri's shoulders. “I think I snapped at you, last time it was the other way around.”
Buri shifted, stretching up, and captured Kel's mouth in a kiss. I blinked, taking it in. Much as I love them both, they understand each other in a way I will never understand them.
I sighed, reaching for my own dressing gown. “I'll be in my study,” I said. I'm not sure if they heard me or not.

Poor Raoul! I love the interaction between Buri and Kel in this piece - it's nice, because most of us can relate - this is something that we, too, have in common with them.

I adore this piece. I like poor outsider-Raoul.
