Title: Second Time Around 2 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.
I got bitten by the bitter bug, and now I just can't get enough Ill will and my own conceit. I'm weary of the world it seems. I'm weary of the world, weary of the world it seems.
“The publicness of being with Raoul! Oh, the parties and balls and appearances before the peerage – which we have to do, even though he hates them as much as I do. Thayet fussing over my clothes, for the first time in fifteen years. The concept of going through a wedding of state, at my age, and knowing all along, these horrible people didn't want the first thing to do with me until now. Kel, you have no idea.”
Kel thought back to her childhood, at the Yamani court. She remembered the way things changed when her mother saved the emperor's most sacred artifacts: the false friends, with their smiles that never reached their eyes. “You might be surprised what I understand.”
Buri just sniffed, condescendingly. “You think so?”

Ooh, if there was one thing that Buri didn't like about Raoul, that would have to be it! And hee, the condescending sniff! ♥
