Title: Meet the Parents 4 Rating: PG Length: 118 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: It's time for Buri to meet Kel's folks. Kel tells Buri.
“You want me to meet your parents?” Kel hadn't expected Buri to be so surprised.
“You don't have to,” Kel said, carefully. “I just... thought it would be kind of nice. Even Conal brought someone home for Midwinter. And I've told them about us, of course.”
Buri surprised Kel again by wrapping both arms around her, knocking her back onto the bed, and kissing her soundly. “I'm honored,” she said, when they finally stopped for more than a second. “I haven't had anyone offer something like that before.”
“Not even...” Kel steeled herself to say it. “Not even Raoul?”
Buri shook her head. “Not even.”

Aww, I love that Buri's so happy! It surprised me at first, but then I remembered that she doesn't have any blood relatives of her own left, and I think she'd be extra honoured to meet Kel's family.

I get the impression that families and clans are kind of a big deal in K'mir culture, so on some level it had to be hard for Buri to leave that behind (even more than for Thayet, who as least was used to being halfway between two cultures). And the Mindelans are kind of a clan, all on their own...
