Title: Second Time Around 1 Rating: PG Length: 130 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Buri has issues and Kel helps her deal.
Note: lyrics and inspiration are from "Second Time Around" by Indigo Girls. Word count doesn't include the lyrics.
The second time around, you know it really got me down. Sister don't you judge it, just keep it to yourself now. If you ain't got nothing good to say, don't say nothing at all.
When the news went around, all the court gossips had one thing to say: what was she thinking? Buriam Tourakom, just a foreign tribeswoman, had been betrothed to Lord Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak. And she was the one to break it off?
Kel found her in a tavern, nose-deep in a tankard, and slid onto the bench beside her. “What happened?”
“Not you, too!” Buri snapped. “You don't know what it's like...”
“Maybe not,” Kel agreed. “But you could tell me. I thought you might need a friend.”
Buri gulped down the rest of her drink. But when she set the mug on the table, she looked Kel in the eye. “Sometimes you just know it won't work out. It's the second time I've been there, and it doesn't get easier.”

It's sad that there's no Buri/Raoul, but I find myself intrigued and loving this anyway! I love the dynamic between Buri and Kel.
