Title: Unexpected Places 2 Rating: PG Length: 203 words Competitor: Buri Round/Fight: 2/D Summary: Kel and Buri meet for the first time.
The woman who answered the door was short and solidly built, with dark hair braided back from her face. She wore a tunic over breeches so full Kel at first took them for a skirt, and the belt at her waist bore sheathes for several daggers.
She looked up at Kel, eyes wary but proud. “What is it?”
“Buriram Tourakom?”
“Yes...”
Kel hesitated, regretting her decision. She had no right to seek this woman out. But she was already here. “Squire Keldan of Mindelan.” She bowed, as she would to a noblewoman, though Buriram did not curtsy or offer her hand. “I was hoping to talk with you.”
“Why?” the woman asked. When Kel didn't answer immediately, she moved to shut the door. “I'm not interested.”
“Wait!” Kel said, in desperation, as she pushed at the door. “You once knew my patron, Lord Alan of Trebond.”
Buriram froze, door half open, and looked at Kel with careful scrutiny. Her sharp black eyes took in every detail of the tall, muscular squire standing before her. “Alan of Trebond,” she said, as though lost in memory. “That's different. You might as well come in.”
