Title: Honesty Rating: PG Length: 175 words Competitor: Nealan of Queenscove Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: Kel and Lisette tell each other the truth.
“What?” Kel asked, startled.
Lisette stopped her with a hand on her arm. “He's asked, hasn't he? I know my father. He'd like for you to be Duchess of Queenscove.”
“I assure you...”
“And you said no,” the girl insisted. “Because you knew it would upset me.”
“Lisette,” Kel said softly. “Your mother was my friend, too. What drew Neal and I together, in the beginning, was our grief. I could never take her place. In either of your lives.”
Lisette's voice was steady. “Good. I'm glad you know it.” Then she grinned. “Will you make an honest man of my father, then?”
Kel slowly smiled. “I think I might.”

Lisette is definitely Neal's daughter. I especially liked how she asked if Kel would make an honest man of Neal Will there be more?

I love ho you've given Lisette so many of her father's rhythms, subtly different because she's herself.
