Title: 6. Bravery Rating: PG Length: 250 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Kel wonders about Sabine's correspondance.
My dear Ash,
You looby, of course I have no intention of getting myself killed out here. I didn't mean to worry you. If I know court gossip, rumor will have you thinking things are much worse than they really are.
I'm sorry to hear that some of our smiling monarch's disapproval has rubbed off on you. I don't suggest lying to the king, of course, but mayhap if you mention that I've made a very close friend out here, he'll simply presume that you and I are through? That should make things a bit easier for you.
(Between us, my new friend doesn't have your touch, love – but then, who does? I'm still counting the days until this blasted campaign is over. You know not to mention that part to His Majesty.)
Always, Sabine
Kel shook her head. One day, she thought, maybe I'll be as brave as Lady Sabine. She didn't think she'd ever be as casual about relationships as Sabine seemed to be about hers – but she had to admit, that part was fascinating, too.
And she still had no clue who Sabine's lover actually was. The book included letters Sabine had written, but none that she had received. It was also frustratingly sparse on personal details, focusing far more on politics. When Sabine did eventually marry, her husband's name was not Ashcroft, Ashton, or any other name that was likely to shorten to “Ash.”
Kel decided she would have to do more research.

Our Smiling Monarch's disapproval. Now, I have all sorts of new ideas about the dismissal of lady knights. Can't wait for more.
