Title: Unexpected Places 4 Rating: PG Length: 183 words Competitor: Buri Round/Fight: 2/D Summary: Kel surprises Buri.
“You're not afraid to be seen with me?” Buri asked, as she and Kel left the archery courts one afternoon.
“Should I be?”
Buri shrugged. “Alan always was. Guilt by association, or something.”
Kel shook her head. She was determined to keep her secret, of course, but it seemed that each day, she learned some new dimension to her patron's paranoia. “Do you think I'm likely to have that problem?”
Buri looked up, at the tall, solid squire beside her. “Not particularly,” she admitted. “But why would a normal young man want to spend time with someone like me?”
Kel had the urge to tuck a wayward piece of hair behind Buri's ear. “You really don't know?”
“I don't,” Buri grumbled.
In answer, Kel kissed her. Buri was still with surprise for a second, and then her lips parted, just slightly, and Kel felt her smile.
“Oh,” Buri said, when they drew apart.
“Do you understand, now?” Kel asked. “Was that convincing enough?”
“Nearly. But maybe you'd better do it again.”
