Title: O is for Omniscience Rating: G Length: 114 Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 1/D Summary: O is for omniscience.
-
O is for omniscience, which is a trait Neal shares with Kel’s former knight-master. When Raoul walks in on one of their rendezvous, he says nothing aloud but simply raises an eyebrow, allowing Owen a moment to straighten his clothes and flee the library where they’d been found. Kel is silent, slumping in her chair with her head in her hand. She doesn’t know what to say to her friend and mentor, doesn’t know how to go about explaining what he saw.
“I’ve known all along, actually,” Raoul says conversationally, running a finger along a bookshelf and pulling out a dusty volume. “I thought you might be embarrassed, so I kept it to myself.”

"Kel is silent, slumping in her chair with her head in her hand."
That says it all, somehow: everything she's feeling, about Owen, and about what she doesn't want to explain to Raoul, and it's beautiful that she doesn't have to. I love the relationships that come through here.
