Title: Finding Out 2
Rating: PG-13
Length: 174 words
Competitor: Raoul
Round/Fight: 2/A
Summary: Kel gets cold feet.
A case of nerves attacked Kel on her way back to the palace. Suddenly she was unsure, as she hadn't been since the weeks after Cleon kissed her for the first time, back when they were squires. Raoul wanted her, he'd made that clear enough, and amazingly, his wife didn't mind. Kel wasn't worried about her reputation: it had little enough to do with the way she actually lived, and anyway, by now she knew how to be discreet.
So the only variable still unknown was Kel, herself. Did she want Raoul?
A part of her certainly did. She remembered the kiss they had shared in his rooms, and yes, she wanted more. But her mind presented so many ways it could end badly, that a part of her was terrified to begin.
In the end, she might have spared herself the worry: Third Company had been called out while she was at Priate's Swoop. There was only a note from its commander:
Kel,
The offer stands. I'm sure we'll cross paths again.
