Title: That Queenscove Boy Rating: G Length: 210 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Wyldon refuses to believe that he's stuck with Queenscove for the rest of his life. Part of my "Scenes from Cavall" series.
-----
“She looks beautiful.”
Wyldon scowled. “I know.”
Keladry playfully slapped his arm. “Don’t be surly,” she scolded, giggling.
“I’m not surly,” he insisted. “I just don’t like him.”
She rolled her eyes. “You’re just saying that because he’s Neal’s son.”
“I’m not—”
“Oh, you are, too. You’re just being stubborn and grumpy. Emrys is a good boy, and he’ll take care of Isa.”
“She’s too young to be courting.”
“She’s almost sixteen. You know, plenty of girls are married and even have children by now.”
Wyldon shuddered. Kel decided to try a different route. “Look, Em is just taking her riding and for a midnight picnic,” she said practically. “He’s not going to take her to a secluded wood and ravish her.” She realized she made a misstep when he paled and hastily added, “It’s just a lovely picnic, and she just adores him. Let her have her fun.”
He set his mouth in a firm line and muttered, “Oh, fine.”
“Good.” She took his hand and tugged him toward their bedchambers. “Now come on—let’s go to bed.”
“No,” he said stubbornly. He settled down in his favorite chair, crossed his arms, and scowled at the door. “I’m waiting right here until that Queenscove boy brings my daughter back!”

That wicked Queenscove boy. He's even worse than that Jesslaw one. And I love Kel's 'misstep'

Hehehe! You'd think after four girls, Wyldon would be better about this. Silly man.
