Title: Too Little Too Late Rating: G Length: 160 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: One is beginning to understand; one has already given up.
----
His boot had just crossed the door frame when Kel finally whirled from the window, and though her face remained impassive, her eyes were bright with all the fury and pain his last few words had stirred in her.
“So..what, you just go away, Wyldon? Is that your way of solving these problems?”
Her lov--no, her commander’s face was hard when he turned back to her. “I’m going away,” he said through gritted teeth, “because if I stayed, I would certainly say things that you wouldn’t want to hear. I’m leaving now to return to Mastiff.”
Kel ignored the stab of hurt and crossed her arms protectively across her chest. “How long will you be there for?”
He exhaled deeply. “Indefinitely.”
She had to look into his eyes to say flatly, “You’re just going away. Leaving...this unfinished.”
Wyldon studied her with a mixture of pity and impassiveness. “I am leaving nothing unfinished, Mindelan. Don’t you understand? I’m giving up.”
