Title: Boundaries Rating: PG Length: 213 Round: 2/C Competitor: Sabine Summary: A sequel to Borderlines with a nod to Nicki's superb--and less crackish--letters-and-biography series. Read those! (Kel certainly is).
“You are infatuated.”
Kel glanced up, blinking words from her eyes and taking in the room. Candles burnt low. Alanna glimmering faintly with mage light to see her way. Shadows turned plush and cool with evening. The exasperated stance and bright hair gone mad from run-throughs.
“Oh, I suppose it is late.”
Alanna laughed. “Are you leaving me for a dead woman?”
Kel rolled her eyes. “I found letters,” she said. “They’re quite fascinating. Did you know Sabine—”
“I’m sure I’ll know Sabine a good deal better after dinner, because you’ll tell me.” Alanna grinned at the mildly sheepish look on her friend’s face.
“Look, my girl. I know that the point of having leave is the..er...leave to spend it how you want to, but if I’m the one reminding you to eat your vegetables, than something is..well, is it wrong, for is it right? Who knows.”
Kel, groaning slightly at unfamiliar creaking in her knees and hips, came to her feet and grasped Alanna firmly by the shoulders. “You,” she said, “Are ridiculous sometimes. And not usually this elliptical.”
“No,” said Alanna. “I’m deeply amused. You are infatuated. Come on.”
Kel was not her friend Queenscove, to argue a point to gasping death over dinner.

This is so cute! I love how Alanna's amused at Kel's infatuation.
