Rating: PG
Length: 165 words
Competitor: Raoul
Round/Fight: 2/A
Summary: for those who prefer a more literal interpretation.
"You know what my favorite is?" Kel asks, one afternoon.
Raoul looks up at her. "What?"
This time, it's a statement. "You know what my favorite is." She grasps it easily by now, comfortable and familiar in her hand. "The hammer."
"I thought your favorite was the glaive."
"Of course I still love my glaive," she admits. "But now...” Her eyes shine. “I've gotten used to the hammer, all the power and force you can put behind it."
"Not many women are comfortable with it," he says. "Nor were they, even when lady knights were common. But you have the size and the strength for it."
"And the training, thanks to you."
"There are still a few more tricks I can teach you." He crosses the training yard, taking his own warhammer down from the weapons rack. "Get down off that horse, and I'll show you."
She slides off Peachblossom's back and looks up at him, grinning. That's exactly what she wants from him.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
