Title: She Protects What She Loves Rating: G Length: 105 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: sometimes your strengths and your weaknesses are the same
At nighttime he sleeps in her bed, the Lord of Cavall. She tries not to move at night, for fear of rolling too close to his frail body. He’s been sick lately, and it worries her. He was coughing yesterday, and she didn’t like his color. The healer woman said it was normal – this kind of cold is normal, at his stage.
It still worries her, however, and she still coddles him. He doesn’t like it – he’s far too independent, and always will be.
But she’s an overprotective mama and wants to keep this little boy close – he’s all she has left of his father.

The last line pretty much broke my heart. But it is a lovely fic.

Now entering the angsty phase of this round....
This one is lovely, though.
