Title: Finding Out 5 Rating: PG-13 Length: 193 words Competitor: Raoul Round/Fight: 2/A Summary: Big fellows can be devious sometimes...
Raoul knocked on Kel's door, one morning in November.
“Fancy a joust?” he asked, amiably. “The weather mages are predicting snow for tomorrow. It could be our last chance until spring.”
“If you like.” Kel's pulse raced. It was the first time they'd been alone, together, since arriving in Corus. “I can meet you in the training yard, once I get ready.”
“Mind if I wait here?” He stepped past her into the room, the back of his hand brushing her thigh as he passed.
“Of course not.” Her eyes followed Raoul as he crossed to the window. A small pain of glass was set between the shutters, and Kel joined him in looking out. The sky was gray, and as they watched, fluffy white flakes began to fall from the sky. “Tomorrow?” Kel asked, eyebrow raised.
Raoul shrugged. “I may have remembered that wrong. I guess we'll have to find something else to do.”
“You planned it on purpose!” Caught between exasperation and amusement, Kel began to laugh.
She stopped laughing when Raoul's hand came to rest at the back of her waist.

You're right - he really is bad at subtlety. Hee hee.
