Title: Caught Rating: PG Length: 258 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 3/B Summary: Pink Pearl AU, Sabine and Lalasa talk about Kel.
Note: I meant to polish this fic a bit more, but haven't had a chance. Thought I might as well post it anyway.
“Is Kel in?” Sabine asked, at the door.
“She said she would be at the practice court,” Lalasa replied.
“Will you tell her I stopped by?”
“Of course.”
The two you women looked at each other for a moment. Sabine was a little surprised that Kel's usually timid maid met her eyes so steadily. “Would you come in for a moment?” Lalasa finally asked.
“All right,” Sabine agreed, out of curiousity as much as anything else.
After shutting the door, Lalasa smoothed her skirts, nervously.
“Well?” Sabine queried.
“Does Kel know how you feel?”
“What?”
Lalasa twisted her hands in her skirt. “Maybe it's not my place to say anything, my lady, but to me it looks like you're sweet on her.”
Sabine laughed, though she found herself blushing. “What if I am?”
“I don't think she's like us. My lady. She might not welcome that kind of attention. And I'd hate to see either of you hurt.”
Sabine thought about that for a moment. “She's been to the Pink Pearl with me,” she finally said, “More than once.”
Lalasa looked down, hiding her suddenly-wide eyes. “Well, perhaps I'm wrong.”
“I hope you are,” Sabine said softly.
Lalasa looked back at her, face inscrutable now. She and Sabine had never understood one another, and it didn't seem as though that was likely to change.
Sabine shook her head. “Well, I'll let myself out, then.”
Lalasa watched her go without another word.

Ooh, this is great! I like how it seems as though they're going to have a deep and meaningful, but even though they do bring up Sabine's feelings, they end up still not on the same page. And it's so sweet of Lalasa to try to look out for them both.

Wonderfully written! The sort-of confusion is lovely, and how Sabine seems actually nervous. Good job!
