Title: Sunburn Rating: PG Length: 169 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Sequel to "Weather." Kel suffers the consequences.
Taking off her shirt that night, Kel moved stiffly. It had been so hot during the day that she'd shed her tunic before noon. It wasn't considered decent, but in the midland hills – north of the Bazhir homeland, south of the majority of Tortall's fiefs and towns – there was no one, save the occasional hillfolk, to see them pass. Most of the men stripped to the waist, while the women settled for rolling up their shirtsleeves.
Kel had ridden, all day, with the sun shining on one side her face and neck, and one arm, while Buri smirked in her horse's shadow.
“Aw,” Buri said, from the entrance to their tent. “Poor lady knight, after all day on that big old horse.”
“You'd be almost as bad, if you hadn't been hiding behind me.” Kel gritted her teeth, forcing herself to lift her arms. Her breastband had to come off before she could sleep, but gods it hurt...
“Want some help with that?”
