Title: Matched Set 3 Rating: PG Length: 155 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 3/B Summary: What happens between Kel and Sabine is not Alanna's business, but...
Alanna watched the two squires leave the arena, noticing a quick touch of Sabine's hand at Keladry's waist, and then Keladry leaning over to whisper in Sabine's ear. No, she wasn't imagining it. They were lovers, and probably had been for some time.
There was nothing wrong with it, of course. They were free women, neither married nor betrothed. Sabine was in her last year as a squire, Keladry in her second: they were of an age to make their own decisions. If they decided to go to bed together, it was not Alanna's business, or anyone else's.
But, Alanna thought ruefully, a preference for other women was one of several things of which she – and by extension, all lady warriors – had been unjustly accused for the past twenty years. If it was true, in the case of her successors, the conservatives were never going to let any of them live it down.

Aww, poor Alanna. And this is going to sound bizarre, but I think my favourite bit of this is the summary! I think it's the 'but' in italics, it amuses me.

LOL! Since I'm completely sick of writing summaries, that makes me bizarrely happy.

I like the summary as well! And Alanna's stuggle between wanting Sabine and Kel to be happy and knowing they can do what they want and her worry about the female pages of the future
