Title: In Person 5 Rating: PG Length: 168 words Competitor: Alanna Round/Fight: 3/A Summary: Kel does her duty – not patiently, necessarily, but she does it.
Duty and whatnot.
Kel went out into the sand, to her men. More bandits caught – Goddess, but she hoped this was the last of them – meant more soldiers to put on guard duty. Messengers to send to General Wyldon. Reports to write, shelter to organize, food to distribute. All done with clerks following in her wake; one sergeant or another at her side. The business of being a knight commander.
Through it all, Kel felt a curious lightness; a buzzing at the back of her mind, the direct result of kisses she couldn't stop remembering.
At last there came a moment when Kel mentally turned to the next task at hand, and realized there wasn't one. Her day's work was done, and Alanna was waiting.
She turned to the sergeant on duty for the night, passing him the emergency horn carried by the encampment's commander on duty. “Unless the world is ending,” she said, gravely, “do not bother me.”
She strode toward her tent.
