Title: Well Known Secrets Rating:G Length:211 words Competitor:Neal Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: As Neal cares for Kel in the infirmary, one of his assistants reflects.
He treated the Lady Knight differently than our other patients. Used a greater part of his gift then was strictly necessary, spent more time inspecting her wound, trailing his hands over her damaged body even after he had found the brake. After the latest battle, as she lay on a cot and tried to ignore the pain in her arm, she watched him unendingly. He stopped by her little bed more often than the rest, ensuring she had what she needed (as if she would ever complain) and watching her sleep, the worry obvious on his face. At first I assumed it was a brotherly thing, considering the amount of time they had spent together as Pages, but it went beyond that. The softness in his eyes was that of a lover, the concern for her well being obvious. Every man in the infirmary, no matter how sick, saw the love they had for each other. The only ones who were oblivious were the pair of them, distracted by duty and the parts they had been given to play. So they would remain the privet joke of every member of our little camp, watching for the day when the levies broke and they finally ended up in the others bed. I had money on it.

I love the last line! And the brilliant idea of putting it in someone else's POV. Great job!

Of course they would be the last to figure it out! This is great.
