Title: Favourite Things Rating: G Length: 141 Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 1/D Summary: Kel comforts Owen when they are most in danger. Blatantly stolen from The Sound of Music.
-
There were shouts coming from the north, and Kel grabbed Owen’s hand. “Get down!” she hissed, shoving him into small alcove concealed behind a fallen tree. She remained outside, hastily trying to conceal their tracks by scattering dead foliage around the forest floor. As the shouts came again, louder this time, she scampered into the tiny crawl space and put her fingers to her lips. “They’re here,” she breathed, and together they tried to muffle their panting.
“Kel?” he whispered, and suddenly he was eight years old again, terrified for his life as from the bushes he watched the hill bandits surrounding his mother and her foot soldier. “What do you do when you’re afraid?”
“Well,” she whispered back, pulling him close and leaning her head against hers. “I just think of my favourite things. Then I don’t feel so bad.”

Lovely! Although after reading the summary I was wondering if they were going to break out into song

I think actual breaking-into-song is a little too cheesy, even for me. Thank you for the comment!

I like his reverting to his childhood in his fear. It's an interesting take on Owen - I'm so set in my notions of him being reckless and fearless, so it's nice to step back and see THIS side of him, too.

That his mother was killed by bandits is one of the things I love most about Owen, because I feel that it gives him a drive toward knighthood that he wouldn't have otherwise. I find that when there's a good reason, it's easier to keep your heart set on something. I'm glad you enjoyed this
